This is absolutely the simplest and most correct fix. After realizing the common problem and the easy cost effective solution, I bought two new pumps through INTEX… Payed the same amount in shipping for two of them versus just one… Shocking. Put my new pump in in just a few minutes, and I am right back in business. Trying to do any fix it to these cheap small pumps is a waste of time. The investment is minimal for new pumps, and so is the time it takes to install a new one and be right back in business. This video is the best of all of them!!
I got that code. Cleaned my filters. Only put filter back on intake. But...let it run a minute without filters because air was in the pump. Running fine since for $0.
Thank you for this. I could not get rid of the E90 error code. Did everything including changing filters. I let it run without outtake filter. No error. Put on outtake filter E90 reappeared. So let it run for 2 days without outtake filter then put on the outtake filter. It’s been 2 days & no error. Thank you. I wouldn’t have known to do this without your post. Now I have a new pump I do not need.
Many times when air stuck in the pump will come up with E90. You can power it off then power it back on. Now push the filter button (pump on) then push it again (pump off) in 2 seconds. Repeat it until no bubbles are pushed out.
These pumps are definitely not $50 anymore. Those were the good ol' days, I guess. Today, they're $160 on Amazon. Today, the shaft is $8. I'll try shaft first. Thanks for the video!
Great video and advice. That said, I ran the unit with both filters and the return taken off for 5 minutes (after bubble purging also), changed the 2 filters which were only in for a few weeks and looked pretty good and that solved my problem. The return being removed alone did nothing to help. There was also a little bit of black pudding skin like guck returned into the main tub area that I see from time to time. I am thinking it’s residue from the internal pump area as the filter would def. Catch it from going in. Bottom line is clean water and filters sometimes makes all the difference.
Hey guys. I bought one today second hand and had the code. Watched alot of videos and decided I'd fix it myself. I'm not an electrician or anything like that. But basically I took the pump off from the bottom. Took the top section off the pump. And where the propeller is on the pump there is a little rod going through it. I'm assuming plastic. Anyways that was broken! So I found a nail that was the same diameter. Snipped the ends off and made it the same length as the broken plastic one. And I've had no issue with it. Litterally took me an hour.
The rod going through the propeller is to keep it center. The plastic one had snapped causing the propeller to wobble causing it to stop. Hope this helps
My tub is 2 years old. The E90 code is a water flow restriction. I always get the code when the filter needs changed. I hit the GFCI reset button to power down the unit, then change the filter and power it back on. Have you tried that? or had the E90 code after the new pump was installed?
Exactly, normally you simply replace the paper filter but eventually the pump itself dies. There are 4 screws on the Blue Intex spas that hold the base together. Once they are off the replacement takes 5 minutes. I"m back up and running in less than 20 minutes.
I replace the filter next to the unit itself and it started right away. So happy I did not have to invest in anything else. "Change the filter on bottom".
This is so great! I'm having the same problem. We bought ours new June 2020....now the E90 won't go away! So I just ordered 2 pumps with expedited shipping. Hopefully i get it soon. I'll report back. Thanks again!
In order to replace the pump did you detach the hoses from the base to the spa? It’s only logical, but did you just place the rubber caps to prevent the water from leaking out? Seems like it would start gushing out as soon as you started unscrewing. Also I haven’t seen how to replace the pump on this particular unit, do you just flip it upside down like the other videos? Or can you access it from the top?- I’m sad intex is out of stock of these pumps right now. I can’t find them anywhere.
It should have came with caps... 2 inside caps and 2 outside caps for them holes... Cap it off inside before removing.... Otherwise yes it will all start gushing out. You have to take the filters off first, then caps go on.
Very helpful video! My pump got to where it wouldn't restart if it turned off. But, I took it apart and tapping on the motor would get it to start. The shaft and propeller looked great so I lubed the shaft and "spinny" parts with Vasoline and for now it seems to be working normally again. I may need to replace the motor in the future but my tub is only a year old.
I literally just got my Intex hot tub not even two days ago and it’s been working perfectly and tonight I got out and I put the top back on it I fastened it down and out of nowhere the E 90 code popped up so I turned off the hot tub and I unplugged it I waited a second and I plugged it back in and I turned it back on and I turned the heat back on and it seemed to work because I waited a little while and it did not do the code and I seen that sometimes there can be a clog so when I turned it all back on and it pushed water through I think I got the clog I hope that’s what it is because I haven’t even had it for like three days
My issue is that pieces of the coating in the pipes/lines (black material) is chunking off and I think that's clogged my pump. I'm worried that even if I replace the pump I will still have that issue.
How do you get the case off to get to the pump. I have a pump in hand but either the case is stuck or I am doing it wrong. Removed four screws on the case do I have to disconnect the pipes as well?
I have only had mine for not even 2 months and I have had that e90 error code come up three times already. It did it again last night and this morning I did change my filters and I got the beeping to stop again but I have a feeling it will come back I don't know. I took off the filter and I can feel the suction coming out of there so I know that is working but my filter light will no longer light up not even when I press it? Do you know what is going on there
Replaced the pump and still have an E90 code. So it’s not a bulletproof fix. I think it may be the control board now. Sucks that it lasts only 2 years. Also their tech support sucks and is useless.
Hi thank you so much for the info. I get the E90 code everyday when I turn the filter on. The filter is dirty so after I put a new one in, it works fine. Do you think I need a new filter pump. My spa is 1 year old?
I'm looking at the E90 code and it is saying I need the shafts for the pump.Intex Pure Spa Hot Tub pool Pump Shaft E90 Error Fix Please tell me if that will work or I need a whole new pump?
i have the same problem. i pulled the pump fan out of the magnetic field and cleaned it up i also used a paper towel(dry) and cleaned the inside of the magnetic field. its working but i am still ordering a new pump
Hey berry I go a great solution for heating up your spa when you have drain it and start over with new water or reheat your existing water .? What I do is fill my spa , with water that is heated up to 110* degree water coming from your garden hose and ran thru a propane heater used for taking hot showers when you go camping these little portable units run off of a 5 gallon propane tank and heat the water from your garden hose one past thru snd puts out 90 to 120 degrees water continuously until your spa is full and the is hot and ready to go as soon as its filled up. Cost you no electricity to heat it up and takes about 30 min to be fully heated and ready to go.? Costs you only about 1 gallon of propane.? After that you put the spa back up to its normal location on to the pump. Recommend CoscosX model 8L 41000 btu. Water output up to 113 F 1.58 GPM comes with propane hose And regulator. Purchase on line Amazon Cost &129.95. And the bonus is its portable so yoi can have hot showers if you go camping
actually if you keep geting E90 error constantly, and there is no water flow, in 99,9% sure your pump break, and if you are out of varranty, you just open your pump and replace shaft of propeller, which will be broken for sure, you need use some non magnetical material, like brass, or fiberglass, or you can buy buy whole replacement for just propeller with shaft, you dont need buy whole new pump, after you replace that with brass piece, you should be fine for some 2 years, all intex hot tubes have this problems with shafts, even intex admits thats their own design flaws, but still keep happily sell you new pumps
in the video he said he tried that and it didn't work and that the pump is cheaply made so you can also easily break it as you fix the rod. the whole point of the video is to just bypass the cheap, complex fix (that you're referring to that might not even work), with an easier more expensive fix that is foolproof.
@@wadevid well, his solution is buy two new pumps, its 100usd per piece for me, instead replaced broken shaft is literaly 0 for me, you can buy 2 feet brass rod for maybe 20usd anh you have material for repair shaft for rest of you life, my spa cost about 500usd in sale, buying new pump for 100 every year is fuc stupid
The filters plug very fast on these spas.... And they are hard to find the filters... I used to buy them at Walmart, but they don't sell them but online. So now I order them on good ol Amazon.... Your sounds just like a dirty filter.
@@GlazerKennedyCopy Thank you you saved us a lot of work. I had seen your video a month ago and just left the spa sitting. Got my wife to order the part, when it arrived just really 10 minutes to replace the part and the spa was running and ready to do.
Respectfully that is not a permanent fix that's you fixing it over and over. I literally just change my filters I've had mine for 3 years and every single time I change my filters that code goes away that's what the e90 code is hey you need to change your filters. But I could see still that if your pumps not working that you're going to get that code and I may eventually have to change my pump but literally I've had it 3 years my pump hasn't went out.
I had mine less than a year and I did call them from Alberta Canada all the way to California and they had every excuse why they wouldn't replace my pump under warranty ...they suck and I will never buy another Intex product ever again junk

simplest fix is to change the filters first
Was hoping you would show how to change it, not just point at this new pump and tell us repeatedly how much it cost.

Omg this worked! And I didn’t have to spend 50 quid like this numpty in the video is telling us to do. Thanks!
Problem solve! Much thank you!
I was also hoping you could show us how to change the pump.
Great video -thanks! I have the exact same pool and problem - But I wish you'd have shown the actual install of the new pump!
These pumps are definitely not $50 anymore. Those were the good ol' days, I guess. Today, they're $160 on Amazon.

You have the filter on the outlet, water goes from the bottom and out the top
Great video and advice. That said, I ran the unit with both filters and the return taken off for 5 minutes (after bubble purging also), changed the 2 filters which were only in for a few weeks and looked pretty good and that solved my problem.

Got ours early , only paid $350. Thanks for the video
Definitely right about the worthlessness of warranties...
Had mine for 5-months before pump quit working couple weeks ago with E90 code. Spent $120 on eBay for new pump and I still get E90. What a rip.
Not only are “regular” spas more expensive, but they are HEAVY and hard to move, too!

The nail will rust. You need to replace it with a ceramic, stainless, titanium or other non ferrous metal.
I have the same spa, the customer service was quick! I love my spa!

At some point the impeller will wear out and then you have to replace the pump.

@@lauriekiddell2667 yes error was fixed and went away. But now I’m having another issue. I think it might be related to the wet and cold.

Will this fix the air jets? My filter pump works and heat but the air jets do not turn on at all.
But thank you for your video because I am definitely going to buy extra pumps that way if something goes wrong I can just change it

Why would I get this after only using this for a month and even then it's only used on weekends? Seems odd to replace a pump after 1 month use
Dirty filters will give the same error code, I changed mine and it works fine now
