  1. I think some of the Clorox extra blue has copper in it that will cause the sticky waterline especially if your water source is high in metals. This is just my experience and I do like the extra blue but on some customers with well water it needs the high metal levels addressed before adding chlorine. As stated above tablets should be avoided in most hot tubs. 

  2. Power and ready lights flashing together is indicator of circ pump flow issue. The pressure switch built into heater is not closing. Could be dirty filter, weak circ pump or bad pressure switch.Also verify the check valve opens and closes with jet pump operation.  Remove filter from hot tub and see if the heater light on circuit board comes on. The pump looks like the original and even though it is moving water its flow is reduced and won't close pressure switch. Test the switch by removing connector from board with multimeter set to continuity.

  3. Where are you located? 
    If you turn the jet faces counterclockwise they will unscrew from wall fitting. Take a look at o-ring gaskets and see what they look like. If white and  you see cracks they have failed. To fix without cutting out plumbing and fittings requires sealing with Permatex ultra grey gasket maker according to Hot spring. 

     
  4. I would put a non gfci 50amp in main panel and put the 20 and 30 gfcis out by the spa, like the manufacturer has it set up. It will also make the service tech or your life easier when you have a component failure. Also if you are in an area that has cold winters the main breaker tripping will result in total spa shut down which may lead to frozen hottub. Yes it more expensive now but could save you from major expense later.

  5. If the power and ready lights are flashing together the pressure switch is not working . If the power light is flashing the hilimit thermistor is bad or water is too hot. If the ready light is flashing the tstat thermistor is the problem. Jump the pressure switch and spa will start heating. Since the pressure switch is built into the heater it is not serviceable and heater will need to be replaced if you remove jumper at pressure switch pins on IQ box.

  6. If you have 240v at h1 and h2 and no heat, the heater is no good. Without the heater on led lit you should not have power to H1 H2 at the relay board. Assuming you meant 240v at the line in from circuit breaker. The pressure switch in heater is not closing you can get new heater or jump pressure switch at IQbox connection.
