Intake. The switch I took out is a Balboa 2 PSI - 30408 ~ which is what I put back in. Thanks again, ChaiSTi

I have had the same endless issue of replacing the pressure switch and adjusting to no solution. This is the first time anyone had mentioned that THE PUMP may not be moving enough water to register... although it looks about the same as usual in the tub. see my "endless" thread ... THANKS! http://www.poolspaforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31703&pid=139875&st=0entry139875

~ Shorted the wires and the FLO error went away [93 - COOL] but warming up....... but 1 hr later, the circulation stopped, and the controller is FROZEN and un-responsive to any of the controls ... display has solid FLO error. ~ I tried adjusting the disconnected switch with the pump running and could not get a closed (shorted) signal "this is a brand new switch!" btw: I also cannot get any of 5 SPA repair companies to come out to montauk and FIX IT!!!

~ I've tried adjusting to both ends of the switch.. no change at all. ~ I've called my local SPA TECH 3x .. they are so busy they don't even respond.. .. I know, this is getting boring... THANKS ChaiSTi !!!

8 hrs later: ~ no change: spa FROZEN with FLO error ~ removed short from wires to pressure switch: spa came ON, all controller responds, flashing from (93 - FLO}

Update... just went and checked in on my spa .. ~ now displaying FLO error only and keypad is not responding.. DEAD.

bump This morning I came out to find the spa ON and running at 94 degrees .. the switch is dis-connected and the wires to it SHORTED ... All of this "intermitant On - off, dead, not dead, heater working, heater not working" is making me think it's the board...[

Ok, it's now switched in to the mode that it was in when all this started.... ~ The cable to the switch is shorted, and now it has a SOLID {FLO} and none of the controls are responding... ... ..... originally when this happened I could STOMP on the spa near the controller and it would come on.. not now... DEAD SPA!

Once again, 'ChaiSTi' ... THANK YOU for you time on this... I love trying to figure this out myself (that is, with you!) Results: 2 - FLASHING {80 - FLO} 3 - 81 degrees {NO FLO ERROR} as before, both pumps work fine a full power.. Yes, I've always had a meter.... and know how to use it.

~ The pump went OFF again by itself.. ~ I turned it on manually and adjusted the pressure switch - NO CHANGE error remains: 83 - FLO

I just checked the spa and the pump IS RUNNING ... It was off when I left it last.. ~ It's flashing between 83 and FLO ~ I'll try adjusting the pressure switch to get it to go OFF

Thanks for the reply ChaiSTi ! NOW we're getting somewhere! ~ Temp is 83 degrees (which is down 5 since yesterday) and the desired temp was set at 102 ... ~ I set the desired temp to 60..... AND.. The pump turned OFF and there is no error msg. Now what? You say disconnect the pressure switch? .

PS, thanks for the reply... The switch was bad, because the condition changed when I changed it. The pump is running normally, and the adjustment on the switch does nothing to change the condition. That's what leads me to think its the board, but I will check the harness to the switch. I can't ohm it out with the pump "not running" because it is always running in the "error state" {COOL-88 degrees-FLO} .. thanks

Ok, so I adjusted the pressure switch from one extreme to the other with the pump running in circulation mode (slow) ... NO CHANGE in display (COOL-88 degrees - FLO) when I turn on the pumps they work fine (error remains) .. Is it the board? I REPLACED IT ONCE ALREADY ( 7 yrs ago) Do I need to replace the entire board or just some part of it? thanks!!!!! rd
