I am having problems with the circulation pump not coming on. I have drained the spa and filled it back up by putting hose into hollow filter in the center. Thereby hopefully pushing out any airlocks. I have cleaned the filters. What else do I need to look for?

If the high limit thermistor was bad- your power LED would flash on the control panel, and the jets would not work. The control thermistor, however, can go bad, and the jets will still work.
The white stuff is hardness, it shouldn't be there- it means you have a very small leak, and the water evaporates before you notice it dripping. The white stuff it whats left after the water has evaporated.
You don't need a heater, just a new thermistor O-ring, or possibly a new heater-body, if the old one has cracked along the seam that runs the length of the heater body- across both thermistor threads.
As far as it heating now, yes, plugging in and unplugging in a thermistor will sometimes fix a faulty thermistor reading due to tiny amounts of corrosion at the harness, which is broken up by unplugging, and then plugging them back in.
That era spa (1995 - 1996) uses a flow switch as well, so be sure your filters are clean. Do you hear excessive clicking? Do you hear a clear, single "click" at some point when turning the temp all the way down, and then another click (at roughly the same spot on the temp dial) when turning the temp back up?
What does the single click mean when turning up the temp and at the same point of turning it down? I am also having a problem with the circulation pump.

The circulating pump does not appear to be working on the used hot tub I just purchased. It is a hotsprings 1998 portable spa classic f. When I was looking at it closer, it looks like the grounding wire that is connected to the heater is not connected to the pump. Should the pump have a grounding wire attached to it? And does the pump make noise when running? I believe it may have an air lock or needs to be cleaned of debris. And will be doing that tomorrow. However, still need to know about grounding wire.
Thank you,

I have just purchased a used hotsprings 1998 classic model f. Inside the cover where the pump and all are located there are two soft tubes hanging from each side. They have the black ribbed nipple ends on them. These tubes are not connected to anything and I am wondering if this is on purpose or do they need to be connected. I noticed one of the members has two or three of these same models and I am hoping someone can help me figure this out.
Thank you,
