Thanks, will try that. I did check the presure switch innitially and appeared to close (short) as soon as pump was turned on and stayed closed for a good 45 secs after pump shut off , then opened again so I figured it was ok? Pulling the filter works sometimes but is a tempermental temp fix. Will go after the presure switch 1st I guess.

Hey Guys, Got a freebie 10 year old Balboa hot tub and after replacing a $30 heater element got it going. Even though the element ohmed ok, it was bad. Problem is now, when I turn down the thermistadt after its been riunning for a while, or change speed modes, I get a flashing error light on the control panel and won't heat or run till I pull the filter/reseat it and cycle the power to it. Any ideas? Thanks, Jamie

Hey All, New to the forum. Hope someone can help me fix this tub. Was a freebe from a friend, but after hooking everything up today, it only heats the water luke-warm. I checked the restance of the geater element and its 12 ohms. The overheat sensor is open and so is the temp sensor. I've got 120vac on each side of the heating element. I was expecting somekind of resistance on each of the sensors. But with 120v on the heating element its acting like the element just isnt putting out. But don't they either work or not?Any idea ? The controller is a rheostadt type, not digital. Previous owner gave me a new one he had purchased which I already subbed in, no luck. panel assy Balboa H136000 Thanks, Jamie
