Brilliant instructions! Received my replacement impeller in the post today, fitted it and low and behold the hot tub is working again!! So very pleased! The part I removed was definitely gone - completely split and rusted. Thanks so much 👍😁
So pleased we found you the advice and the instructions for the repair were spot on E02 is no more!!
Thanks from New Zealand. We bought the new impeller and installed it following your very clear and concise instructions. Our spa is currently reheating and I'm looking forward to getting in! Thanks
Hi after spending a noisy 2-3 months of E02 error and constant filter changes etc etc, I came across this email, spent £9.99 on a new impeller, changed it this morning, it is now running as quiet as a mouse. fingers crossed it now heats up and I can get back in tomorrow. Thank you so much. Clare
Thanks for the Video Dave! I have a HydroJet pump, slightly different to pull apart, but it fixed my E02 error! Wouldn't have given it a go without watching this as I am a DIY disaster. I ordered the new impeller from the link in the comments. The impeller wasn't broken, but was clearly worn in places and had discoloured due to the heat. Swapped it out and all good! Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for posting.
My Vegas E02 error was fixed by an impeller change.
The impeller looked ok and the spindle was not broken, but the lower rubber cup was elongated.
The leaks in the flow and return pipes, where they fit to the spa, were due to perished rubber washers.
However be careful to get a 39mm inside diameter O ring for the magnetic reed switch housing.
When I removed mine to check for debris and check it was working correctly, when refitted, it leaked due to age compression of the original o ring.
I got mine from a car parts shop with a box of assorted o rings. It was a bit fat but works well with a bit of vaseline on it on on re-assembly.
Good Luck. You can do it.
Spot on Dave - followed your instructions and E02 fixed. Top Man!
Thanks Dave for the great film, followed your instructions and now my spa pumps fixed!
Dave just watched your video, ordered the part it came today, took me about 5 minutes to do! Used Vicks vapour rub too as it was all I had! Many thanks👍
Dave, just wanted to say thank you for this. I have followed your video and have replaced the impeller for £12 instead of buying a new pump for 250! Thanks again. I’ll be watching your videos whenever I’m in trouble with the spa!
Hi Stuart, thank you for your post, well done!!!
@@davelewis560hi dave, how much is a pump service kit for St Moritz?
All removed, looks like leaking outer seal between two sections. Also play in impellor
Excellent video, easy to follow and worked a treat. Thank you
That's brilliant info mr Lewis and saved it just in case I need it. Looking forward to future tips
Where do you buy the part please?
Worked perfectly, thanks Dave! Took me about 45 minutes start to finish, and 10 of that was hunting for the vaseline :D I was a bit worried this wasn't the problem as the plastic shaft on my impeller was fine when I got it out but the magnet bit around it was cracked and corroded. Replacing with a new 12 quid impeller fixed it right up and it's running smooth and quiet now. Thanks!
Where did you buy the impella pleas?

Hi I have gone on the link provided and I am just wondering if you deliver to France
Amazing. Don’t watch any other videos about filters being blocked. Order my new impeller and it’s all sorted. Cheers Dave
Thank you for this video - it helped me tremendously! In my case nothing broke inside the pump - it just became too entangled in some hair to move correctly.
Thanks again!
Hey dave, I followed your instructions and found it relatively easy to do. It seems to have sorted out the error 2 problem I had. Thank you so much for this video. It has saved me a right headache and money which I don't really have to buy a new one, and it is absolutely much quieter.
You sir, I salute you, legend. 👍
Cheers... gaz
You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!

@Holden Milo thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Holden Milo It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out !
@Shawn Mason you are welcome :)
Thank you for this post. My egg pump developed a rattling sound which at 1st stopped when I gave it a whack on the side. It then became premenant and quite loud. It never stopped with an alarm etc just became really noisy. This quick fix has got it back to working at just a quiet hum. Really pleàsd with the result. Thank you again for posting Dave!!
No Problem Paul, its amazing how quiet it is after the retrofit isn't it? where did you get the impeller from, did you get it from my suggested link?
@@davelewis560 yes really quiet 🙌. Surprising how this fix to the rattling issue isn't as widely known. I didnt purchase through your link tbf - I saw in the comments that you were working on being able supply the parts but missed purchasing via the link. If this issue happens again will deffo buy from you and encourage others 👍
Same here. No E02 error (I've had that before and it was solved by changing the filter), it was just noisy to beat the band. Hard to even be in the tub the noise was so loud, it made you close the bedroom window to stop hearing it at night. Found the impeller at Amazon (US - #58113) for about $11, opened up the egg, the impeller shaft itself was not broken, but the housing that contains the magnet was cracked and things were just out of round in general. I worked Dave's fix, replaced the entire impeller - now it's so quiet you have to get REALLY close and listen REALLY hard to even be sure the pump is running. Thanks, Dave!
Thank you very much for the video. fixed my E02 error. Impeller shaft was split open and corroded.
I am so grateful for you taking the time to make this video! Our hot tub wouldn’t start up this week when we got it out for the summer, we were worried we’d need a whole new ‘egg’ but this video has meant I’ve been able to fix it in minutes for a fraction of the price! Weirdly our plastic bit wasn’t broken, but the replacement impeller worked so something must have been up 😂😂
Brilliant! Well done and happy Hottubbin'
Perfect thank you for this I thought I was going to have to but a new pump completely. Top fella
Your a rockstar
Thank you for the amazing video
Just like you said my shaft cracked
Stay happy healthy and fluid
great to see these tubs can be fixed
Would like to say thanks for this video and kit my lay z spa is now repaired and silent 👍

Hi Dave
Can you furnish me with new parts that will work. Thanks
Does this work without the caps at the start, we got the hot tub second hand and they binned the caps
Hey can you send the link to order this part please thanks 🙏
Hi where can I get this impeller ?? I think I need a new one
My bottom pipe is bent for filter to work how do you straighten it? It's right inside the inflate part itself causing bleep after 5 minutes annoying will get in touch now with lazy spa.

Hi Dave, thanks for the advice, I am just about to strip down my pump, do you still sell the spare impeller & is so how do I get one from you please?
Hi Dave mate I changed my impeller due to old one cracked , I turn the new one on spins for 3 seconds then cuts out again , any ideas pal ,cheers
Where can i find a new impeller for my lazy spa?
Thank you kindly sir, turned out to be the exact problem. Shoddy plastic. Temp fix with a bamboo stick till the replacement arrives!
THANKS FOR THE BAMBOO STICK IDEA. I was just thinking, "What could I use temporarily?"

hi Dave,,,,know anything about the Heater ? when I press my heater button on a Miami it trips out my elec supply ?
I have flow in out of egg. But when I turn heater on it stays on for 20 or so secs then cuts out. Eo2 error has been playing up on and off for months. Could this be the impeller also??
Dave, thanks. It was indeed the impeller
I just bought one first pump saluspa cup holder one got error EO2 got the next pump egg one same thing do you think both could be broken like that?? They are sending me a third…. So instead of throwing them out maybe I could buy this well 2 kits !
Is this possible for an e6 temp fault on wave hot tub
How do I get this part please
Hi, thanks for the video, any advice, my pump seems to go for couple of secs then says EO2, much appreciated
What if this doesn’t fix the problem…?
Impeller magnet was split open the length of the magnet! Thought for sure that was what it would need. Going to start opening it up again and maybe the pump gasket which was about a mm or 2 too long is causing the problem.
Pressure switch available ?
Yes, keep trying or buy a complete new pump if required.
Hi Dave. Really good video, to the point and easy to follow. I ordered an impeller as mine was showing an E02 error and descaling it made no difference. Got to the impeller and mine wasn’t broken but changed it anyway along with the supplied washers. Turned on the unit and after 60 seconds, E02 error again. Any other suggestions on what it could be, I’m at a loss now.
Many thanks
Sorry Dean for not getting back to you sooner, sounds like a lack of water flow, could be the pump is still not pumping or the water flow switch is defective, so with the spa only half full, turn on your egg, does water start flowing out of the top, if so then the pumps ok so its the flow sensor, you could short it out but better fitting a new one, plenty of vids on you tube to show you how, let me know how you got on mate.
Thanks for this video mine is not even a month old and I can not get it out off the E02 error
Hi Dave, I have tried to descale the pump and I have replaced all the rubber washers but the water still leaks from the descale unit and the E02 keeps coming on the egg 🤬🤬
Hi Dave great video do you also no where I can purchase the bungs to place on the filter and flow pipes ?
Hello, thank you for your kind comment, if you go on ebay and type in "lazy spa rubber stopper" you will see the black round stoppers and you'll also see the grey one for the air. Silly prices for what they are you could use a cut off from a plastic bag and elastic bands for the flow pipes, I'm fairly sure that the air one has a rubber flap so when you disconnect water shouldn't come out, again if it does rubber band and plastic bag time, just have to get someone to pull the egg away as you bung it up!!!
Thank you for this. It was really helpful. My pump is making one hell of a noise! I've tried doing the reverse flow routine with a hose pipe. It momentarily reduced the noise (about 5 mins worth), then started again! Could this be the impeller? I would be very grateful for your thoughts.
Its the impeller Jan
I have the dreaded E02. The seals of the a b and c were all damaged so I’ve replaced those. I’ve replaced the filters and cleaned the debris screens and did the backflow cleaning. Also cleaned that water sensor area as there was some debris. I’m only able to run bubbles. If I try to run heat or filtration the E02 code comes up. Would the impeller be the only other option? Where can I purchase one online? Thank you.
Hi, it could be the 12v transformer that serves the pump but more likely to be the impeller sticking, take it apart and replace it with a new one , as per the vid, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114329460248?hash=item1a9e911e18:g:kHgAAOSwn0dgecB0

Hi my hot tub blows the breaker on its plug after 5 sec of being plugged in, its never done this b4, can u help me figure out what might b the problem? Ty
Its more than likely a component like the heater or Pump , try to disconnect the pump, try the breaker if it still trips, try the heater ... and so on, eventually you will find the issue...
Very good, are you available for a few in the Portsmouth area ?
Off Course
How can I tell if it's bad it looks ok
If the shaft has snapped In the pump, will the bubbles still work? I’m loosing will to live with our spa. It’s eo2 error and I’ve tried everything 😩
Hi Sophie, the way it works is when you turn the unit on, immediately the pump should start, if the pump doesn't start it could be that 1. There's no power going to the pump , this could be the Transformer or no output from the PCB, 2. If there's power going to the pump (12V AC) then the pumps defective. The unit has a flow sensor its like a little paddle sat in the water pipe, when water flows it makes the paddle go from a down like position into a horizontal position, when that paddle is in the horizontal position it makes a switch that more or less tells the PCB there's water flow, the PCB then powers up the heater and normal operation you can also then turn on the air to produce bubbles. Advise you have a qualified electrical person to check this, its not that difficult. I hope this helps.........
Any other thoughts what it could be?..filters etc fine impellor replaced and still no luck
No output from the 12V dc Transformer, loose cable connection, basically is there any noise at all from when you reset? Call me on 07837 215734 and ill talk you through some steps, but you will need to get a qualified sparks in as its quite high voltage when testing....
I cannot find where to get the impeller from I've looked and everyone I look at is different looking for has different numbers

Hi great video dave!! Are all E02 errors for the same cause? I've only had mine a few weeks and its came on. The air comes out fine but its when I turn the heater on it comes on I haven't got any water in mind would that be why? It also smells of burning plastic
Thanks in advance
omg, it needs water mate!!
My pump won’t kick in I get EO2 fault I’ve checked all the basic stuff , pump did sound a bit noisy before it stopped working
Hi, you need to have an electrician to check if there is power going to your pump directly upon reset, you should have 12V ac at the transformer output for around 3 seconds, if you do have power on the transformer and the pump does not run or do anything then the pump is defective, if you dont have 12V then the pump maybe good, could be the transformer, or mains fuse blown, or no output from the controller, there's so many things it could be, dont try if your not qualified, the impeller change on the vid is only carried out when the unit is off and unplugged.
Very good. Problem solved

Hi Dave, thanks for your video. I had an issue with the impeller and was able to replace using your help. This doesn't completely solve my problem though. Now it looks like I have no power getting to the pump - I have verified the pump works with an external power supply. Is it safe to simply replace the pump power supply/transformer, or is there possibly a fuse somewhere that has blown that might be causing this. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Sorry, not sure I know which one, can you provide more info?
The filter housing is held on by a large plastic screw for want of a better description.

Hi Dave great video no bullshit straight to the point.
I wonder if I could ask you a question on tap into your knowledge? I have a lazy z spa Miami. That started to Trip the RCD I have eliminated a few problems i.e. it’s not the pump that Tripping it out, but something to do with the heating side it only trips around the temperature set and not before.
So the element is working fine I think (I haven’t stripped it down yet) but maybe something to do with The thermostat side??
Hi Yoanna, thank you for your comments, there could be an earth leakage or it could be a defective heater or even a defective RCD, its difficult to say, I would personally check the amps drawn on the live cable on the heater with an amp clamp, its a 2kW heater, so using the power formula to find the correct Amps it should draw when running on heating is...……...P/V= I (P is for Power = 2000W - V is for Voltage = 240V and I is for Amps = 8.3A
How that was worked out is a follows, 2000/240 = 8.3 Amps, you'll need a qualified electrician to check the current draw when the heater is on, then if its only around 8.3A, ISOLATE THE POWER SUPPLY and then have him disconnect the neutral at the heater and check the live connection that's still on the heaters connection (with a multimeter set on continuity) check between that live connection and a good proven earth point on the unit itself. if you pick up a reading then there's an earth fault on the 2kW heating element, you could even have him check the resistance of the heating element with the power off, can you work what the resistance should be, use this formula V/I= R V= Volts I = Amps = ? Ohms, as said do not do the physical testing yourself unless you are competent in electrics!!!!!! The resistance of the heating element should be _ _ . _ Ohms? Also make sure no cables are shorting out or getting wet when its running.
