Hi! Thank you so much for this helpful video. I'm working through all of these and have a quick question. In step 3-you say to unplug the flow switch, turn the power on. Then you say the next test will be live-put the screw driver in, but then it says to turn the breaker on again. But it's supposed to already be on? If you wouldn't mind clarifying I'd greatly appreciate it!!!
great tips....did the screwdiver test and code went off....after taking wires off and following back to Flow switch, I found the wires had corroded right off the top of the switch...there was a clear plastic cover over the wires and top of switch that prevented me from seeing the corroded ends....obviously, I found the problem...SCREWDRIVER TIP WAS THE TRICK THOUGH...thanks...PS, I have the J-325 model 2014
hello, I am in France and owner of a j335 jacuzzi from 2015. I have an FL1 code. the massage pumps work but the circulation pump does not. the fuses are ok. Should the circulation pump be replaced? thanking you for your help.
FL1 code is there because the circ. pump isnt working. If the fuse is good, then you could test the volts where the circ pump plugs to the circuit board or just replace that circ pump.
... with the unit flashing "FL 1", should there be voltage to the pumps? i presume there would, at least to the low speed pump. that being the case, if there is NOT voltage to either the low or high flow pump, then would it suggest that the control board needs replaced? (also, note that if this logic is correct, then it's potentially dangerous to short the flow switch for extended periods, because if there really is no flow then the heater would turn on without flow and overheat)
Flow switch or pressure switch are low voltage and have no amps. It's the amps the kill ya. That's why cows don't get killed by an electric fence. As for testing the pump. If you're not confident call a professional.
Yep. Any FL code will at some point shut the heat off. If it's on/off sort of thing happening, this is telling me it's going to be the filters or flow switch/pressure switch (whatever one you might have.)
I had a hot tub installed and then had fl1 error code. The electrician had accidentally left 1 side of the wiring unhooked so only had 115v at the tub.

Thanks for seeing that. Made changes to the video. Thanks again.

Great. Make sure to give the video a like. Thanks for watching my video.

@@VIPPoolsandSpas Thank you so much!!! 🙏👍

Does the Jacuzzi need to be drained on order to replace the flow switch? Thx
No. We do have a video on just that question.
Would this also cause my heater to intermittently kick on/off? I have this FL1 error but also my tub will not get up to temp
Yep. Any FL code will at some point shut the heat off. If it's on/off sort of thing happening, this is telling me it's going to be the filters or flow switch/pressure switch (whatever one you might have.)
If you unplug the switch, does FL2 come on?
@@VIPPoolsandSpas sorry didn’t see this but it was a bad flow switch
Do I need to close any valves when changing flow switch? Will water fly out on me? I just refilled with new water. Uggg
NO. I do have a video on how to change it with the water in. Thats if it is a flow switch.
does hot tub need to be drained to replace flow switch? thanks!
I always drain below the sensor to replace.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas thanks!! love your videos!
@@thatguysinger Thank you. Hit the LIKE on even the bad videos. lol

That would do it. Pump wasn't working. Lack of volts
