or change out just the breaker in the box

If you are looking at a used spa make sure it is running and up to temp or walk away.WET TEST any new spa that you like.Sales guys will tel you anything to sell you a spa.Non-circ or circ pump is always a debate here,i like them and have a JACUZZI myself.Read all that you can on any spa that you like. did i mention WET TEST.ensure the dealer you buy from has a service department,ask around check them out.think twice before you buy from a traveling spa show and don't sign anything under pressure,wait a day or two ..good luck and keep us posted on you venture

did they ever do something to stop the water from behind these jet packs from going skankie from lack of circulation?

with the power off open up the silver box in the bottom right side you will find were the heater leads go out of the box follow those to the PCB and pull the off then go turn the power back on if the breaker trips then its not the heater(mark down on a piece of paper what wire came from what connection keep doing this( turning the power off each time ) for each component on the spa soon all the will be left is the circ pump and sensors and board itself if it comes down to that phone a tech or come back here and tell us what you find and someone will help from their good luck

in the middle,my partner thinks I'm crazy.Kid is to cool to tub with dad

i am 500 miles north of you do you hop out for a quick roll in the snow then get back in?(we got.5 inch)

he was also carring cal spa products. we are having a home show this weekend and these guys are at most shows in this area if he is still open he will be here to do the show i will keep you posted on what i learn

who cares why the re closed just take his clients away by being their to help them you will got a good client for life Many of the parts on Arctics are proprietary, and the customers are likely looking for warranty assistance, not to spend money. I have access to rising dragon jets the threaded and snap in and to gecko m class spa controlers anything esle is most likly waterways and i have a book for those parts as well. unless they want origanal parts all arctic parts are out thier and avalable

small filter with a "sock" above it ? humm sounds like a rip off from the JACUZZI J-400 line.looks like the wannabe's are still following a leader,would be nice to see some one come up with a original idea and not copy someone else's hard work and efforts

Do your humidity levels drop below 60% when the tub isn't in use? Anything higher and I believe you start the risk of growing mold. In the summer my dehumidifier runs a lot to keep it below 60% but it does get very humid here. I don't think opening my basement windows would help much because it would be either to cold outside or to humid for it to make a difference. Still I'm uncertain because some say tubs leak a lot of moisture when covered and require a specially designed room. When we stayed at a sybaris the entire room was fogged up but after turning on the dehumidifier it made short work of it. If I buy a softub and find that my basement can't handle the humidity then I have to move it outside and I don't think it would work well in our winters. When I look at tubs trying to find something that works well on a budget the price just keeps going up. Its like if your looking at this then you might as well spend a little extra and get this and so on. I've seen some of the dreammakers and they look ok. I find a lot of iffy reviews about them and as I mentioned before seems it will be cheaper in the long run on electricity and maintenance if I get a better tub . The hot spot tx (by hot springs) seems to be the entry level for a real quality tub. I was quoted 3800 for one last year and can't find anything much cheaper from a quality manufacturer. Even some of the brands you listed start around 3k. I'm guessing once everything is done with a deck this project will set me back around 5k. I was really hoping for a cheaper option to see if this is a temporary thing for us. I might try to find a softub store this weekend so I can see one in person. thanks for the replies! carport not fully closed in so dont have and issue there also have a buddy who does some sort of energy audit thing and had him come over and check this out because of moister fears and he said no problem as long as we keep the fans running

we have a JACUZZI and we run it in the garage with fans in the windows to vent the moist air seems to work fine a long with the sauna

you can also use a shop vac and vac out the water from the jets and then blow out more water. open up the pump and heater lines and and do the same.when you get ready to start it up again you will need to replace the gaskets and o-rings and spin the pumps a couple of times by hand to make sure they are going to turn when you power it back up

do you have an ozone on the spa? follow the heater return line and look for a gray plastic tube inline that is a ozone mixing chamber and some times these thing get clogged and restrict the flow and will give you greif post some pictures they will help getting to the cause of this issue good luck

try the Jacuzzi line mostly the J-315 or the J-325 or wait till mid February till the the new smaller J-400's come out ask a dealer to bring you up on what is cumming

did not know that. sorry. could you give me the web site could not find anything last night. thank you, and again i am sorry if i have offended you in any way

here is what i have found 1956 jacuzzi made its first pump systeme that dropped into a normal bath tub in1970 they made theLOW-BOW family sized hot tub

are you sure? i have looked BAJA spa and found nothing before 1996 yet JACUZZI build the first pump jet combo back in the 50's( i will see my jacuzzi buddy saturday and will ask him for the Jacuzzi story then)until then i will go with your answer ( in question) thanks for the info

When will the new models be in show rooms? mid feb i think my buddy at the jacuzzi store is very tight lipped on this all he will tell me is that some cool stuff and big upgrades are comming (if you realy wait about 8 months the rest of the pack will follow the leaders)remember JACUZZI started the hot tub thing years back all other are followers

sell it( for beer money ) and get a real spa its time for a new one

wait a bit and see the new for2012 Jacuzzi line they have some new models coming out soon and they look good and yes they will have silent circ pumps. check them out

all the connections are numbered give it a go yourself put a piece of tape on the wire and number it as you take them off also take a couple of pictures to use as a reference and some of jacuzzi stuff have wire diagrams on the inside cove of the spa box. good luck

I have worked on coast spa's for 8 years with the GECKO-S class pac's. what you have is the little red light of death, the ones I worked on the hi-limit sensor was a foam strip with some metal type tape that was hard wired to the board. you cant test or replace it the only thing to do is change it. I took the coast spa factory course and had the change to ask the GECKO rep herself when she gave that part of the course and her answer was to change the board

no I just did one of these jets and could not find anything to fit in the hole and get one soon as they are hard to get and sundance took a month toget it to me. good luck

find a poster with the name castletonia and ask her she is a coast dealer
