Posts: 3 		Trying to get 4 yr old hottub started up for the season. We were getting HL and Sn error codes, which we've never had before. My husband bled the air out of both lines (other seasons we've gotten dr errors, but were always able to fix those) but the 2nd pump still won't push water. 1st pump is fine. Please help!

Posts: 3 		Ok, so we pulled the entire pump out and noticed the impeller was not moving. We cleaned it up, removed a bunch of crud and possibly metal shavings. We reinstalled into the tub and it works, however it's leaking badly out of the back of the wet end. Pump seal?? Is it worth it to take apart and try to replace the seal or should we just buy an entire wet end?

The pump is a 4 hp 56 frame Waterway. 3 yrs old.

Any advice is helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loc: Virginia, Smith Mtn. Lake 		Hi,
Replace the pump seal asap to keep the water out of the motor causing the bearing to rust and fail. as far as the wet end i there are no cracks it will be fine.
