TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING: To reduce the risks of injury, do not allow children to use
this product unless they are supervised at all times.
WARNING: Pump suction inlet should be installed with a
certied safety suction inlet and cover that does not exceed the
maximum ow rating of the installed pump and system. Failure to
provide for a properly rated suction assembly can case bodily injury,
disembowelment, and drowning from hair entrapment.
• Make sure power is supplied to the pump (circuit breaker is on, GFCI is
set, pump is “plugged in”).
• Fill the tub with water-- at a minimum to a level above the highest
jet. In the case of some manufacturer’s specications, ll water to the
low water level sensor indicator.
• To turn pump on, depress airswitch button OR depress on/o button
on keypad OR turn on wall timer. Please refer to tub manufacturer’s
user manual to determine your specic design of tub or spa unit). If AT
model pump, the time will set automatically.
• To turn unit o, depress airswitch button OR depress on/o button on
keypad OR turn o wall timer.
• The pump/motor assembly does not require maintenance. However,
the tub and pump should be checked semi-annually for leakage of any
kind.
• The electric motor uses sealed grease bearings, which do not require
additional lubrication. The pump should not be run dry (without
water). If this occurs, check the pump for leaks. Under normal
conditions the bath/spa water will lubricate and cool the seal assembly
while running.
• If the whirlpool tub will be stored during freezing weather, it is
suggested that the tub (jets, piping, and pump) be completely free of
water to avoid damage from the freezing.
• We DO NOT recommend using sudsing oil or bubble bath during a
whirlpool session. The agitation will create an overow of bubbles.
• Follow tub manufacturer’s recommendation for periodic cleaning
of the whirlpool tub system. For whirlpool tubs, a low-foaming
dishwasher detergent with 4 to 6 ounces of household bleach can be
added to a full tub of water. Run the tub for approximately 10 minutes
and drain. Fill the tub with clean, cool water, and run for 10 minutes
and drain.
PUMP DOES NOT RUN
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
• No power to pump
- check incoming power to pump
- is circuit breaker on?
- is GFCI operating properly?
- is pump plugged in?
• Airswitch disconnected
- is airswitch hose connected to pump?
- is airswitch hose connected to actuator button
on tub deck?
PUMP NOT PUMPING PROPERLY
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
• Blockage or leak
- jets should be pointed away from suction inlet
so air is not forced into pump suction
- is tub suction inlet blocked or covered?
- is there any debris in pump housing?
- is there a leak in the piping or the pump?
• Low voltage
- is the proper voltage applied to the pump?
- is there an extension cord being used?

WARNING: When using electrical products, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING: For ALL installations, an access panel must be provided
which is in a suitable location for pump inspection. ENSURE POWER
TO MOTOR IS TURNED OFF PRIOR TO WORKING WITH THE MOTOR.
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
2. READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL
FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF THE HYDROMASSAGE BATH TUB.
3. WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, DO NOT PERMIT CHILDREN TO
OPERATE THIS UNIT WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION OF AN ADULT AT ALL
TIMES.
4. WARNING: The Genesis Generation Bath Pump is intended for use in a
Hydromassage bath tub (whirlpool bath) only, as described in this manual.
The Genesis Generation Bath Pump is not for use in any other application.
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
5. All electrical wiring in the motor installation must be done by a licensed electrician
in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
6. WARNING: The unit must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected
by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) as required by the applicable
electrical codes. Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer of the
unit and should be tested on a regular basis. Consult the GFCI
manufacturer’s instructions for correct testing and operation.
7. WARNING: For permanently connected units, a green colored terminal
(or a wire connector marked “G”, “GR”, “Ground”, or “Grounding”) is provided
within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
connect this terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your
electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the
circuit conductors supplying this equipment.
8. DO NOT operate this pump unit without the motor end cover in place.
9. WARNING: Motors driving the pumps may operate at high temperatures.
To avoid burns, NEVER touch the motor shell during operation of the motor.
10. DO NOT drop, insert, or place any object into the pump assembly or motor
at any time.
11. No modications, additions, or deletions should be made to the pump or motor
assembly.
12. DO NOT use insulation around or near the pump/motor assembly. The motor may
overheat causing nuisance tripping of the thermal overload protector.
13. DO NOT run pump dry. No warranty on damaged seal due to dry running of pump.
14. WARNING: Before starting the pump/motor, make certain that the water
level covers all water outlets to avoid excess splashing.
• The pump should be installed on the outside of the tub as close to the tub unit as
possible.
• For a whirlpool tub installation, the pump should be mounted in such a fashion that
there is a continual rise from the suction tting to the pump to allow air to be
expelled from the piping. While at the same time, the pump should be mounted in
such a way that the pump suction is below the normal operating level of the water.
• All tub piping must be water tight for proper pump operation.
• The pump/motor assembly should be securely mounted onto a base to avoid noise
and vibration. The weight of the piping should be supported independently and not
carried by the pump.
• The pump should be connected to the piping with union connectors as supplied
with the pump. The union sleeves and nuts are made of PVC plastic. Sleeves should
be attached to the piping with solvent weld cement suitable for use with PVC. Refer
to the warnings supplied with solvent weld cements to verify compatibility. The nut
will secure the sleeve to the pump. HAND TIGHTEN the union nut only! Excessive
torque is unnecessary and may cause damage to the union and pump. DO NOT
use a pipe wrench or over-torque the nut! There is a gasket supplied with the sleeve
connector. If the connector is tightened properly there is no need for any sealant or
lubricant to be used on the gasket. CONTAMINANT SUCH AS PIPE COMPOUNDS OR
OVER TIGHTENING OF THE NUT CAN CAUSE THE UNION TO FAIL.
• Pumps are equipped with a self-lubricating mechanical shaft seal. As with any
mechanical seal, it may eventually leak as a result of wear or if particles of dirt
become lodged between the seal faces. It is recommended that a drip pan be
installed so that any leakage can be readily seen and to avoid water damage.
• CAUTION: Pump motors are equipped with an automatic thermal overload
protector to prevent motor damage from overheating. THESE MOTORS WILL
RESTART AUTOMATICALLY AS THE MOTOR COOLS DOWN. DO NOT WORK
ON THE MOTOR WITHOUT FIRST SHUTTING OFF THE ELECTRICITY AT THE
SOURCE. Nuisance thermal tripping can be avoided if proper ventilation is
provided to the pump. Insulation should not be put around or near the pump
motor.
• All airswitch actuators and electronic keypads which are used to operate the pump
unit must be located above the tub’s maximum water level.
• All electronic keypads must be routed clear of grounded metal and high voltage
wiring.
• All internal motor wiring is done at the factory. No additional wiring is necessary.
• WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit protected by
a ground fault circuit interrupter.
• WARNING: Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a qualied
service representative and grounded. Install to permit access for servicing.
• WARNING: All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Before
working on the motors, be certain that the electrical power is o at the main
junction box. Disconnect the fuse or the circuit breaker and tag the main
switch: “DO NOT ENERGIZE THIS SWITCH. PERSONNEL WORKING ON
EQUIPMENT”.
• WARNING: All aspects of the installation must conform to the requirements
of the NEC, including article 430 (motor circuits and controllers), and all local
codes.
• Pump/motor must be wired to the system with the correct incoming voltage ONLY
by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable electrical codes. Motor
voltage, ampere draw, and frequency appear on the motor nameplate. DO NOT
EXCEED NAMEPLATE VOLTAGE.
• The wire used to supply power to the motor must be large enough to carry the
necessary amperes for the required length without excessive voltage drop. Cord
connected units are pre-wired at the factory. No additional wiring is necessary.
• If pump/motor is supplied without a pre-wired cord assembly, a proper strain
relief tting should be used to secure the wire in the motor conduit hole. The motor
wire must also be of the correct size, but not smaller than 16 gauge. the pump/
motor must be wired for the proper voltage in accordance with the wiring diagram
supplied on the motor. All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician in
accordance with local codes. Be certain the motor frame is GROUNDED and that the
motor and metal parts of the tub or spa and piping are BONDED in accordance with
applicable codes. A green-colored screw is provided inside the terminal
compartment for a grounding connection. This should be connected to the
grounding terminal in the supply panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent
in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than 14
gauge. The wires should be sized such that the yare large enough to carry the proper
amperes without causing unnecessary voltage drop. A wiring diagram is supplied on
the pump nameplate for assistance in connecting the main power supply lines to the
correct motor terminal (stud, at washer, cup washer, and nut). A solid copper
bonding connector, no smaller than 8 AWG (3.27mm) must be connected from
the accessible wire connector on the motor to all metal parts of the whirlpool bath
structure, and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping, within
5 feet (1.5m) of the inside walls of the whirlpool bath or spa when the motor is
installed within 5 feet of the inside walls of the whirlpool bath.
