I have a 2010 Jacuzzi J230. It is a 3 wire spa. Recently, the breaker blew out, so I opened up the control box and noticed some black marks. After further inspection, I noticed that one of the 220 wires that plugs into the bottom of the circuit board had essentially shorted itself and burnt the connection off the board. I am curious is just replacing the board is going to fix the problem, or that wire during up is an indication of a much bigger problem.
I did a little research and this wire goes to the thermostat for my heater core. It is one pole of the 220V circuit. (the black wire)
Is it possible the hearter core I also bad and the short caused this to burn up?.
Nature2 Protocols
in Hot Tub Water Chemistry

I've been running Baqua spa for several years and I'm overall happy with it. I know their are lots of haters our there, but overall I've found this system to be effective for me given my wife and I are the only ones who have really used the tub. My wife hates the smell of chlorine (even faint) and so this really limited me on what I could do. However, my daughter is getting older and now wanting to use it more with friends, etc. Baqua can't handle any kind of a load -- No way.
So, I've been researching options and I think no matter what I need some kind of a chlorine system to handle times when a bunch of teenage kids jump in the tub and I don't want to drain it and fill it the next day.
I have been reading about the Nature2 system and it has peaked my interest because it does use chlorine, but can be run with very low doses (assuming a low load on the tub). Low load for me is me sitting in it without jets every night (I love to just soak) and my wife jumping in 1-2 times a week with jets. My thought is that when I get more people in the tube, I can shock it real hard after. No way to shock Baqua even if you dumb a crap load of the oxidizer in.
My question: I'm having a hard time finding a protocol for the Nature2 system other than just really general stuff like "shock once a week," etc. Does anyone have a good set of protocols for the Nature2 setup?
Thanks
