I've installed the axel fan today, along with a programmable thermostatic controller. I've positioned it above the non-watkins motor, fastening it to the exhaust tubing that used to connect to the back end of the watkins self-exhausting motor. Now it's pulling cooler air into the equipment area and exhausting it to a vent on the side of the spa. There was direct sunlight hitting the equipment compartment cover and initially the inside temp was 105ª with the spa off! I've programmed the fan to turn on at 105 and off at 98. I'm shooting in the dark with pinpointing optimal temperature ranges, but I did want to see how fast the fan would work to cool down the compartment. Having said that, we don't use the spa in the heat of the day, so in actual use the outdoor temps would be cooler, as opposed to daytime when the ambient temp was 79 or so (direct sunlight played a factor today). As I write this, I've gotten the rig up and running for about about 2 hours and the fan has cooled the cabinet down by about 6 degrees. That's why I was trying to pin down the operating temperature range of the IQ2020 circuit board, if for nothing else to gauge how to set the operating parameters of the fan. (it's a 3.5" 110v with a high CFM). I'll be playing around with this for a couple more days, but so far it looks promising. The vents are also a good idea. I'll update this post as I learn more.

Im back and you were right! 🤨Garage breaker blew 3 times since last message. (But enjoyed incident free tubbing several times) I checked breaker visually and looked all ok. Going to replace breaker with Eaton 230250 quad $22. Picture shows breaker slightly popped. Will keep u posted.

Check for voltage at the heater terminals. You may also have a thermo-disc in the heater terminal compartment. Check it as well. If you have no voltage and you have a heat indicator on the topside then you probably have a bad relay on the circuit board. An electronics repair shop can likely replace it fairly cheap, but you will have to remove the board. Let me know what you find. Can you post a pic of the circuit board?

With the other issues with the topside the pump 3 button might be toast. Might have to check the wire connections where it plugs to the board. Make sure all the wires are all the way into the holder and making contact. Should be able to find a cheaper than factory generic Gecko topside if needed.

Pool Clown, You were right it was the pool filter pump relay. After I tapped it with the screwdriver it started working until I went to put on the cover and it got stuck on again. I'm assuming I need a new filter pump relay correct? Where is the best place to buy one, also are there instruction for installing it? Does this sound like the right part - Jandy Aqua Link 3 hp. Relay With Harness - JDY-R0658100? Thanks, Brett

If what AZM says don't work, then it's probably a stuck relay. If you take the cover plate off the outdoor panel, Tap the relay that is in the upper most left corner with the but of a screwdriver. Thats where the filter pump relay is usually. If it goes off, then thats it. About 100 bucks in nor-cal. This may give a cause of the symptom: http://www.poolspaforum.com/forum/index.ph...=&pid=72514
