Hello. When i turn my jets on, low flow mode works, when you turn to high flow it works for about 3 seconds and then trips off. Would this be a pump replacement?

No. A pump replacement is not necessarily needed. The issue may be due to inadequate water level, poor flow, or air bubbles in the system. Check and refill the water level if needed, and make sure the pumps have been properly primed. If the problem persists after these steps, contact a dealer or service organization.

General Guidelines for Site Preparation Requirements for Access: The size of the actual spa you choose will determine the amount of space needed to move the spa from the street to its final resting area. Be sure to measure all gate and door openings, also look for any vertical obstructions such as roof overhangs and power lines.
All 120 Volt capable spas require a Dedicated 15 AMP GFCI service connection. An optional 15 Amp GFCI 12ft cable is available from Four Winds Spas. Never use an extension cord to run your spa. Meeting this standard may require you to have your standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker upgraded by a Licensed Electrician.
Electrical Installation Instructions A copper bonding lug connector has been provided on the Spa Control Pack to allow for connection to local ground points. A 6 AWG copper ground wire is required and must be connected securely to a grounded metal structure item such as a cold water pipe or the main ground lug inside of the connecting electrical panel.
Electrical Safety GFCI Breaker Concerns If the GFCI breaker will not stay engaged after you wire your spa and apply power, the GFCI breaker is not wired correctly. Check the GFCI breaker wiring chart following this section and verify that all of your connections are correct. Generally if the breaker will not stay engaged, it is a wiring problem with the neutral wire.

Troubleshooting Continued If the spa is running but not heating: If your spa has worked and heated before with no problem and it suddenly is dropping temperature, check first to be sure you haven’t accidentally put the controls in the economy mode or sleep mode.
Recommendations for Maintenance Chemical Maintenance: It is very important that you maintain the correct level of chemicals in your spa. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging the jets and the heating elements, as well as encouraging cloudy water and skin and eye irritations. Also remember that chemical damage is not covered under warranty. Please refer to Chemical Safety Instructions at the back of the manual for further instructions.
