Congrats on purchase, as long as manufacturer backs it up with a decent warranty, you should be good to go. happy soaking!

These are estimates on 60-65f degree water At 230volts estimate8-9hrs At 115volts estimate16-18hrs

Right. i would stay away from home depot, costco spas. As far as others like guys above mentioned... Most popular, Hotsprings(happy owner!), Tiger river, Caldera, Hot spot, Solana, D1, and sundance are my top choices.

You cant rebuild any of those heater unless, you start from scratch. And those relays are hard to find according to watkins techs, ive tried, but had to order new iq. But relays are out there, or something similar to them. Too bad you dont have iq2020, like chas said, just change out relay board. Oh, I did see a heater like yours on ebay, half the price. Good luck

So, it ended up being a tripped tco. lol.Btw Op, hate to say, but ive seen a couple of those heaters go up in flames. I would replace it. Good deal on trombone (tribend) heater on ebay right now. Good luck

^^ I think because Amore means love in italian/spanish And OP, good luck with your choice.

Whats a frog? a floater?.. Or an automated chemical dispensor

Wow, thats the first time ive heard of a DE filter on a spa. I would stick with either, sand or better yet Cartridge. And avoid flow issues.

Those tubs are not bad at all. I like them, easy to work on. Congrats on purchase guys

Usually you twist on jet fitting. And other times you need tool for that. You can tell if there are notches around jet bezel

Tstat control malfunctioning(capillary tube not communicating), hi-limit thinking its reached temp, or pressure switch acting up? G/L

How about a vinyl cover, then use a tarp to protect it?

You can wire it to pump terminal too.

You either have a bad relay board, bad thermistors, bad control head, bad pressure switch(if heater has one) or the neutral wire on wrong breaker. Was it working fine they way its wired before? Check relays any dark marks around them, sometimes you cant tell. You have to remove it.

What was the answer?

Some dealers do have sticker prices on spas.. Either way whatever the msrp is, see if you can deal them down $1000, and start from there. Your right its just like car salesmen

^ lol! pump, fitting, heater failure, complete control failure?! Where do you get this information from?

I say youll be fine w/o it. just add your sanitizer chlorine/bromine. Unless, your skin is sensitive to chems. fdegree, as far as i can tell ozonators shouldnt draw more that 60-100watts of energy. If you have it, let it run as long as spa is on.

Lol. Bubbles make you think water is being oxidized. If you cant smell it, your being fooled

Yes, Chas pointed you to the right vac. Other either fill up your tub while vaccuming or are too bulky.

Tubs dont blister if cover is on. If anything, hopefully it was left with water(swampy if left for 8 years lol) Depends on quality of spa too. Most likely all components are dying. If shell, and plumbing is in fair shape, you can throw in a new pinnacle skid pack(new control box, heater, with jet pump).

Like spatech says, its a quality spa. Watkins ftw!! I would definately jump on that, if price is right. Perfect size imo. Not too bulky either

Should of got the floor model, but then you dont know if its been used

My jetsetter is over 13 years old(J15000). no problems, besides filters. great spa

^ great sugestions, you forgot hi-limit trip
