Resolved my Hydropool Serenity 5000 Circulation Pump Issue
Thursday, 14 January 2021 | Nathan
My hot tub (Balboa topside) was throwing a Heater Dry Flow Error and after excellent advice from the Hot Tub DIY team determined that the issue was being caused by no circulation to the heater. Having tried various other tips online to release air locks (which didn't work) it was clear that the low speed capacitor needed to be replaced - not the entire pump. Accessing the capacitor was tricky due to the sealed cover being so close to the underside of the hot tub, but after some time I was able to gain access and then the swapover was very easy. My Hot tub is back up and running and the team here saved me having to call someone out which is almost impossible during lockdown. Perfect. Quality component with fast delivery. Great job.
Website is very clear and made the order process easy. Delivery was amazingly fast & pump arrived before scheduled date. A subsequent technical query was answered within 2 hours. Great service...thank you!
A great service and fast delivery but I assumed that the product was an OEM one. It only lasted 14 months and died. Just bought an original one. £90 but will last a lot longer.
