Had to replace the air switch at the pump on my Sterling jetted tub. As I had to pull the pump out I started looking at things and am wondering how safe it is after reading about them while troubleshooting the switch. I have the owner's manual which shows how to clean it but don't have the installation guide and couldn't find it online.
Here's what I found tracing it out:
Power is coming from an outlet serving the adjacent room. A GFI outlet is in the adjacent wall and power for the tub receptacle was pulled from that. That outlet is fed by a 30 amp breaker that has little else aside from a few outlets on it. Putting one of the GFI testers in the tub receptacle the lights show that it's wired correctly. When I press the test button it pops the GFI outlet in the adjacent room and kills power to the tub receptacle.
The pump ground lug has a wire connecting it to the tub receptacle ground.
The pump was tie-strapped to a block of wood to hold it in place. There are rubber bumpers on the bottom of the pump legs to cushion it. Are they just shipped like this and a bracket should have been used or is this how they're supposed to run? I have it tie-strapped back in place and it doesn't move but I question that it should be this way.
Thanks in advance for any input.
