  1. So I realized that I accidentally set the pump to F4, which would mean the pump runs for a total of 4 hours. I then set tub to F2, turned the tub off off by reseting the breaker. When resettle, the pump then kicked on, ran for 2 hrs and then shut off. I set the tub to Economy mode and it has only runs heat when in filter mode, during the 2hr cycle. It dawned to me that my pump may have been "running" all night because I had it set to F4 AND I had it set to Standard mode, which would heat the tub (run the filter) if the temps dropped (which the nights here in Chicago are finally) which would mean the filter cycle would kick on. PLUS not to mention that my power has gone off 3 times in the past 2 weeks for random reasons, which means the tub automatically starts the filter cycle once power is restored. Overall I think there was a variety of different variables here for a new spa owner to feel a little overwhelmed! But thankfully the controls are working the way they should, however I'm still gonna keep an eye out for control failure now that people mentioned that it could happen. Thanks for all the help
  2. No it did not. The spa flashes between the mode and the temp on the display. The temp would not go down even if I dropped it 10 degrees because the spa pump continued to run. It never shuts off
  3. I shut the spa off for a few hours and started it up again. After going through priming mode and reaching the heat in sT (standard) and F2. The pump shut off, like it was suppose to do. So I used the spa last night for about 30 minutes and got out right about 9:30pm. Everything seemed to be working fine. The spa pump turned itself off and I closed my cover This morning at 7am, the pump was running, heater light was not on, and the spa maintained heat at 96 degrees. I left it over night on standard. (sT) Even if the spa doesn't require heat, do the pump still kick on randomly? If its not in filtration mode, shouldn't the spa pump stop once the set heat temp is reached? I know about econ and sleep mode but those haven't solved my issues either. I had the spa in sleep and econ mode previously in the week and the spa pump still constantly ran and the Balboa 500z flashed between the mode and the temp, which is something the spa never did before. Usually it should just showed the mode, and would not flash both. Might be time to call the dealer. I constantly have to flip my breaker to shut off the spa
  4. I just bought a Viking Legend II spa with the Balboa 550z control. There is two jet buttons, a temp button and a light button. I orginally had the filter on F2 for 2 hours of filter. I then switched to F4. Now the filter runs constantly without the heat light on, similar situation to everyone's posts above. I shut off the tub power, turned it on after 10 hrs. Pump does not immediately run when in pR prime mode which means the controls work. Any suggestions to how to know if the relays are stuck? I'm pretty handy, just need to know what and where I should be looking at. Overall pretty disappointed, if had the spa for 10 days and it already has problems...
