Paradiddle

I switched to FIL2 and I think it is working....... I have replaced a 2 heating elements and a pump since 2005. and all the small jets fell apart so I replaced them too. and the pillows fell off. but it does work......

My sleep SLP mode does not seem to kick down the temp. It acts like its still in STD. Mode and keeps the temp at 100-102. I have forced the temp down to 85 and it still is at 102. Keys/Image/Icon Spa Model No. IMSB63910 IMSG63910

still looking for any help with troubleshooting. Is this as sensor problem?

I have an Image/Icon Spa and the control will not keep heat at set temp. It will over heat. If I set in Std or Ecn at 100deg it will end up over 106 + and constantly run. I now have it set in SLP mode and have it set at 80 deg and actual temp = 95deg. It will output actual temp on display.

It's fixed and all i paid for was a new heating element. I was able to save the board with fix

I don't remember if I tightened the bottom nut against the top. I probably just tightened the top nut. expensive learning curve for me.....

I never followed up on this - I replaced element only and it fixed it for a month but then crapped out and popped breaker again. I didn't look at it until this past weekend. The board was fried at one of the contact points for the element. I disconnected the heater and the spa control worked just fine. What happened??

With the heater dissconnected check the continuity from post to post. I should read continuity. I get continuity when disconnected. I get 120v from each leg on the board disconnected. I reconnect it pop breaker. I disconnect and it works. I also got a "24" on control panel on powerup. The heater is bad. Balboa heaters can read continuity and be still be bad. you can get a replacement element which is not easy to do. The best bet is to replace it with a universal fast flo heater. These heaters have removeable plugs to fit any sensors or switches mounted to the heater here is a link to elements http://www.spaguts.com/Product.aspx?ID=2 here is a link to entire assembly http://www.spaguts.com/Product.aspx?ID=131 Would have to remove hose clamps I have been using these on my repairs and so far happy about the performance. Make sure you pick KW as close as possable to the original. I don't know if you know but ICON spa products are on limited availablity, but all main stuff can subbed with different pumps, ozonator, spa packs I would like to use that spaguts assy. Will the sensors screw into those ports on each end? Looks like pipe thread. I also found a good price on Balboa http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/pool-parts/...tsinc-9711-218/ for $150. Is this a reputable place?

I have a Keys/Image/Icon Spa that tripped the breaker and won't reset. I pulled off the straps to the heater and now it stays on fine and everything else works. I get 115V from both strips when not connected. Is the heater shorted? I also pulled each component out especially the #1 pump that I just replaced 6 weeks ago but it looks like the heater. Balboa 4.0kw 240V 58064/58031 Can I just replace the element? - I see them available for $40 vs $200 for a whole assy. or those universal heaters for $110?

excellent!!! Thanks a bunch

I have an Icon Spa with a noisy pump #1 that blows fuses and pops the breaker. I have decided to replace the whole pump and wet end. I have been doing some searches for pumps and find AquaFlo replacement that for $350 - $450 - ouch.... My pump motor is Emerson 4HP Spl- 2 speed - 230V 8.6A/2.8A. model # 06620390-2 If I look up Aquaflo replacement they list another model number to replace the exact model number I have but they also call it a 2HP. for about $360 with free shipping. I also can find AO Smith or Waterway pumps for less but i am confused as to which HP I would use? 2hp or 4hp? 06120500-2040 Aqua-Flo FMXP/XP2 2.0 HP 230V 2-Speed 2" Side Discharge 48 Frame Pump from spa parts depot or US parts center. ******************* How do you get the impeller off the wet end? Is it pressed on?
