Dry heater tried several things…
spokanespas replied to Jason Kichline's topic in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas
Hi, Keep it in continuous operation until you are satisfied that the problem has been resolved. My recommendation would be to replace the pump with an AquaFlo XP2 or Waterway EX2 pump with the same voltage and amperage as the original (230V 12.0/4.4A) as the LX pumps are, IMO, junky junk. brandon@spaboarddoctor.com -
Hello, Attached are the high limit and temp sensor locations. You may also have a stuck or sticking heater relay on the board causing the heater barrel temperature to rise higher than the computer likes. This is a repairable failure. brandon@spokanespas.com

Hello, It seems like maybe the low pump may be dropping out sometimes. You should set the filtration timer to continuous operation i.e. 24 hour circulation and see if the problem goes away. Brandon -
Jacuzzi J355 FLO error Circ pump or flo switch
spokanespas replied to gillnick's topic in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas
Hello, Is the "FLO" error solid on the display or does it flash between "FLO" and the current temperature? Brandon -

Got it. I'll try to pay more attention to the dates. Thanks! -
Odd OHH fault on old Spaform M7-4000 Elite

It sounds like the heater relay is sticking on sometimes. The "electric kettle" noise on boot is water boiling in the heater manifold before the pump turns on. Vice versa, after tub is up to temp and pump shuts off, heater stays on. Another possibility (now that I see the condition of the heater studs) is that the element has a pinhole or fracture in it's coating and is conducting to ground through the surrounding water via line 2 from the high limit. This is a dangerous condition if the GFCI is not functioning or not present. Do not enter or touch the water until you have a qualified technician address this issue. spokanespas -

Surging and Flashing Lights on Circuit Board

The replacement control's heater wattage must be compatible with the type of pump being used. If you post some pics of the equipment maybe we can get to the bottom of the flow issue. spokanespas.com

Topside Control LED screen issues
spokanespas replied to jaye kaye's topic in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas
I've warranty replaced at least a half dozen of their latest touchscreens in the last six months. The ones I run across either have the lines on the screen or are completely blank. Most are mounted inches from the waterline and are exposed to all the heat, humidity, and chemicals they can handle, until they can't. IMO it's a mistake when the hot tub manufacturer mounts them in the tub instead of in a molded area on the top lip. Hopefully big B will beef up the waterproofing or, save the touchscreens for cell phones. spokanespas.com -
2006 Hot Spring Sovereign II - NO HEAT
spokanespas replied to Slugger's topic in Portable Hot Tubs & Spas
Just FYI for future spa owners with this same problem, we do these relay replacements all the time. spokanespas.com -
The disk looks like it's a broken off piece of a bromine floater. Absolutely remove it and yes, you'll also want to ditch the Eco Pur two stage filter and just use the same type single stage filter the other side uses. The Eco Pur filters clog quickly, starve the circuit pump, and are expensive. For these circ pump/low flow applications I recommend Pleatco brand filters as their open core design allows more water flow even as the filter media clogs over time. Good luck, spokanespas.com

Sounds like a sticking heater relay. OH may not occur during filtration cycle because water is still moving through heater but when water flow stops and heater relay is stuck on the high limit will trip. This is a repairable failure. spokanespas.com
