I reported a fault with the green LED in the water feature on my 2010 Sovereign to the dealer last week. They attended today and have confirmed that the fault is with the LED rather than any control.
The rub is that the LED is not in the water feature but about 12" down inside the cabinet and access is difficult. They have given me 3 options:
1: Do nothing - not really an option to be honest;
2: Cut a small access hole in the side, effect the repair and replace the cutover with new "Everwood" or;
3: Take the whole side off the spa and effect the repair replacing the side of the spa in it's entirity.
The tub is less than a year old and not fixing it is not really an option. The small panel with look rubbish so the solution is to replace the whole side (if thats what I understood his option to be over the phone).
The dealer, who is first class, is happy to do what I want. So, my questions are:
1: Is taking the side off the spa a big issue?
2: Will the repair compromise the structure of the tub (am I setting myself up for a lifetime of related issues)?
3: Are the Everwood panels secured from the inside (will I end up with a row of screws in the replaced panels)?
4: The tub is outside but the side to be replaced doesn't get significant direct sunlight, will the replaced panels show up significantly?
