Greetings,

Is there a way to test my pumps outside the cabinet. I was thinking of getting a new spa equipment pack and ditching my old equipment, but when I saw the price, I figured I'll try to salvage what I can. Here's my specs.

Thanks,

I also have a heated blower and ozone.

You can test your pump on the bench by applying 240V as required to the unit, and it should snap up to speed immediately. Any delay in startup would indicate a problem. Do not run the pump for more than a few seconds dry, as you can burn out the pump seal.
