1. Electrical Problems

One of the most common reasons why a spa pump may not be working is due to electrical issues. If the pump is not receiving power, it won't function properly. Check the power source, circuit breaker, and ensure that all connections are secure.

2. Clogged Pump Strainer Basket

A clogged pump strainer basket can restrict water flow to the pump, causing it to overheat and shut down. Regularly clean the strainer basket to prevent debris buildup.

3. Air Locks in the Pump System

Air locks can prevent water from circulating properly in the pump system, leading to inefficiency or complete failure. To remove air locks, you may need to bleed the pump system or check for any air leaks in the pipes.
