  1. The white pump wire was on the wrong terminal! It works now! 👍 I had a spa technician " my son's friend " "who works at a local pool store look at it. He was touching wires and said I need a new spa Pack. Wait until I see him again. I owe you a beer! Thank you so much.
  2. What I don't understand is when I drained my hot tub the water level went below the intake for the filters so there is no water going into the filters. both filters were removed prior to draining. I put my garden hose into the filter and take to provide the pump with water to flush out the lines and I went to press the hijet button and it worked! So I pushed the high low button for the Jets and it's cycled up and down with no problem. So this tells me there is a sensor issue of some sort ?
  3. Move what white wire to p18 ? The neutral wire coming in from power? I tested the neutral wire to p 18 and got 120 volts.
  4. Pump is wired correctly. I get 244 volts across red and black wires. I get to 238.4 volts across heating unit. I adjusted the pressure switch as directed in the manual. Jumpers are correct.
  5. Tested red/black. 224V Jumpers are correct. Adjusted pressure switch I turn breaker back on and come kicks on heating element kicks on for 20 seconds , hear a relay click and pump shuts off heater shuts off. About two minutes later pump kicks on heater kicks on 20 seconds relay clicks pump shuts off heater shuts off. Three flashing lights . I added a new picture with the new heating element across the heating element terminals I get 238.4 volts. I noticed that when I was adjusting the pressure switch and decreasing counter-clockwise the red light on the board turned on and I noticed a surge of water through the heating element. I could hear it. Like when you open up a soda bottle and you hear that air Rush. What is that?
  6. Wiring top to bottom goes red 120V, blue is neutral, ground is black with green markers, and black 120V. The heating element in this picture is the old one, I replace it with a new one because the contacts were Rusty and corroded.
  7. For the pressure switch on a heating element you can turn it clockwise or counterclockwise. Is there a standard setting that this should be at. Do I turn it clockwise until it stops and then turn it counterclockwise how many rotations to the desired set point. I'm wondering if this is an issue considering there was less water in the hot tub creating less head pressure where some sensor responded correctly and the Jets worked probably. I measured voltage across each heating element and measure 120 volts each leg. 220V coming in to board. I don't know if there is a flow sensor on this hot tub. It would be in the main compartment where the pump and spa Pack is and I do not see one.
  8. The pump is new, the heating unit is new, the pressure sensor on the heating unit is new. "Sold separately" from heating unit. The hot tub cycles on and off by itself I'm low speed. On the top keypad the heating temp buttons high and low both work. The light button for the light in the hot tub works, the jet button for high and low does not respond when the three red flashing lights are on. When the pump turns on low by itself I will push the jet button again to go to hijet pressure and the relay just clicks and remains at low pressure Jets. I found it odd that when I drained the hot tub below the filter intake , then the high and low Jets worked when I push the button. Totally different pump sound. And then proceeded to turn the high and low Jets cycling a few times to see if they worked which they did. The three flashing lights disappeared. As soon as I filled the hot tub again the three flashing lights reappeared. And a hot tub went back to turning on every 2 minutes for about 20 seconds as it's heating the water. When I press the jet button nothing happens the Jets do not respond.
  9. I have three flashing lights on my display and a hot tub, which is it an Adirondack spa 2006. I took all the Jets apart on the inside as I filled up with water stuck the hose in the filter port and let the hot tub fill up. Temperature came to 102 degrees as set. pump with cycle on and off for about 20 seconds on low speed to circulate.I noticed in one of the seats there are nine Jets and two of them were not pushing water through. I poured 6 gallons of distilled vinegar and 3 tablespoons of dawn liquid soap through the filter sports. I let it run for 24 hours and it cleaned out some biofilm. Tub is clean jets are clean but there is still the two that are not working. Possibly they may be locked. I don't think that is enough to cause pump issues for low-flow. When I press the high low button for the pumps and I hear the high pump relay clicks but does not go to high pressure. The heater is brand new and the pump is brand new. Now here's the kicker, when I drained the hot tub I left it on and it was still cycling on and off with the low speed pump and as the water level got below the intakes of the filter the high speed checked on. Why,? So I thought great I drained the tub completely as the high-speed was still working and I also filled the filter intake with my garden hose to supply the pump with water to clean out all the Jets with the distilled vinegar. After cleaning that I filled the hot tub back up again. Three flashing lights still flashing and temperature came to 102 degrees again and I push the jet button, again nothing works no low pressure or high pressure pump kicks on. Is cycles on its own every two minutes. Any suggestions before my sawzall comes out of the shed,? Also on the heating there is a pressure switch which is replaced. I adjusted it so the heat woodtick on. Maybe that is the issue but I don't know how would you what adjust it to know the correct setting.
