Artesian pump issue
I've got an Artesian South Seas 748B that's been experiencing issues with one of the pumps. The pump that pulls water through the filter is making much more noise than normal. It's a strong low pitched humming noise - like the normal noise multiplied. Meanwhile the jets powered by that pump are about half the strength they normally would be.
Around the same time this happened we've experienced a couple of other issues. Half of the tub lights have stopped working consistently. Sometimes they're all on, sometimes just half. And couple of times after running for 3-4 pump cycles the breaker tripped.
I've tried removing the filter and running the pump without it but that made no difference. From my research it seems like a clog or impeller issues may be a possibility, or even a bad pump capacitor. I understand that if the pump is having performance issues due to either of those it could be causing the breaker to trip.
However, I'm not sure how the pump problems connect to the lighting issue, or perhaps they're two separate problems. Anyone have any recommendations?
