[Caledera Diverter Issue]

Matt in BV...For some reason I can't reply to your message but I can start a new message with no problem...it comes up with a server error message...anyone else having this problem?

The problem you are having with the lever can be fixed easily. If the lever has come all the way out (or if you can get all of it out), you need to pull it apart (it is actually 2 pieces that may be seized together). Pull the outside diverter or on/off valve cap off from the piece with the threads on it.

Then screw the piece with threads on it back in as tight as you can get it...then put the outside valve back on to it. The reason it becomes seized is that people try to crank it on/off too hard and the inside lever and the outside valve become seized together.

If the pieces are not seized together then it may be a simple case of the o'ring being crimped or missing.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY DAN!!! I got home last night and kept looking at them, messing around and the knob slipped a little. I pulled, it came off, screwed the threaded assembly to the tub, put the knob back on and it works like a charm. My next dilemna is the VersaSage jet on my tub has spit out all of it's bearings. I've tried to get it back together, no luck. My lovely dealer says, sure no problem! only 80bucks for a new one........I'm looking online to try and find one, any ideas on where to buy or who might make that particular jet would be so much help!!!

[What Does It Cost To Run Your Hot Tub Ea Month And What Brand Do You Have?]

I have a Caldera Elation, been installed for almost a year. It's has averaged around 25-30.00 month extra in Northwest Arkansas. I turn it way down in the summer, so it should be much less until winter.

[Caldera Diverter Valve Issue]

I need help!!! I have a 2007 Caldera Elation with the Aquarella Waterfall and the ecsta seat with the neck massage. both of the control/diverter valves have came lose and I cannot get them back inside. The valve counter screws onto the knob, I can put it back in and tighten down enough to get it to not leak when the pumps are running. My issue is that I cannot seem to get the knob to attach back correctly, if you turn either of them on while the pumps are running it sprays water all around. I know these are removable as the book says you can take them off to clean, but gives you no help on putting it back together. I have tried to talk to my dealer, the service techs are always out, they wont call me back. I just want someone to show me how to put it back. Now, they want a 50.00 service fee to come out and look at it. It's more of a principle thing now, it's not that big of a deal and I dont think I should have to pay someone 50.00 for 5mins of work. Does anyone have any idea on how to get these back in place correctly where the valve and knob will function? I know it's just a matter of "how" you put it back.

Help!!! Lost and not happy
