How do I replace a flow switch on a Sunsational spa?
Depending on what type of flow switch is in the plumbing will determine how it is changed out.
These are usually glued into the plumbing line with no unions or gate valve on either side of it,
If this is the case for you tub then you will need to drain the tub or isolate it from the water so you can plumb in a new flow switch.

I havent seen to many motors this old, but today all you really need to know is the horsepower and the frame (either round or square). Pull the old one off and take it to a pool store, and they can probably get it for you.
Also..im not sure but i think A.O. Smith bought out magnetek some years back....
SOURCE: Motor is hooked up correctly according to
You have 220v running into your motor, the red and the plack are in most cases the same 110v line and what your calling a white netural is a common line. In other words the second half of your 220v line. If your red and black are the two opposing 110v lines that make up your 220v and they are put on the motor and turned on they short aginst each other and blow the breaker. One of your 220v lines should come into your hi -low switch and then split to your high and low on the pump. The other half of your 220v line will go to the common or what your calling nuteral. The difference is a netural completes a 110v circut and a common completes the 220v circut it will take to run the motor. One of the splits will complete the low speed circut and the other will complete the high speed circut. You need to check your voltage comming into the spa, the way the spa is wired (110v-220v), and how the motor is wired (110v-220v). For your spa this will be in your owners manuel or on a scematic inside a panel or door and is quite often a plug you change from one spot to another. On your motor will have a scematic on the back of the motor that will tell you haw to adjust the wireing already in place on the wire board of the motor. This may sound deep but if all your voltages are set the same and your high and low are the same leg of power, this should fix your problem.

Your impeller has spun the center out of it. Remove the pump and replace the impeller.

There are only two ways you can avoid a Sunami. You either have to clamp the hoses or drain the Spa. I found out the hard way that I need to drain the Spa when changing the pump. The service guy, using the hose clamps, messed up my Jacuzzi room big time. The clamps just won't do it.
