the temp was set for 95 but was 98.
Tried cleaning the filter and running all jets. Will report back. Thanks!

@RDspaguy correction the display stated “Water too Hot”
-
thanks!!
when I turn the spa on, the display states 240 Volts. After re-connecting the heater it reads 230 vs 225 previously and the heater seems to be heating the water much faster. However, I got a message this morning on the control panel display that stated “heater too hot, press button to reset”
Any idea what this could be a result from and how I can fix?
My biggest uncertainty in the process was how perfectly secured I connected the three copper electrical power lines back to the circuit board...
Thanks a million!

To be clear, the heater now works when the heat light is engaged, however if the hot tub is being used with the top off and the jets not on, it cannot maintain the temperature and the temp slowly drops. This was never the case prior- the hot tub was always able to maintain the temp whether the lid was on/off or jets were on/off.
Thank you!

Sorry I was away last week!
the reading is 225, but I think it should be 240. Does this mean when I reconnected the circuit board leads to the heater I didn’t connect it properly or some other issue?
-
they go away.
temp not moving upwards
even with heat light solid. The jet that usually is warm is not warm....
there is a tiny leak on the left union gasket. About 1 drop per second
-
@RDspaguy I take that back, just went up a degree with jets on low with top off which is a sign of improvement...
-
Rewired power and now jets are running but see following codes below. Are these error codes?
M100
_201
V 20
240V
doesnt seem to be heating up unfortunately!
-
reconnected everything. Control panel lit up saying to purge pumps. But My jets won’t power on, not pump 1 or pump 2. I hear the clicking sound from system but no movement at all. Any idea what this could be?
when reconnecting electric, I may have lost one or two copper threads... could that be it? There is power to the system so not sure...
-
Ok my new electronics guy said he fixed the relay and he said he guarantees 100% it works now. To be continued...
-
A NEW Electronics guy is saying he can fix the connection but he can’t guarantee that the issue will not happen again as he thinks the heating coil may be the issue. I think we already ruled that out from my prior multimeter tests right?
-
Sweet, amazing. Not sure I would be able to mimic the prior setup without a lot of thought but seems well worth the try.
Anything else I can do to take better care of the system going forward or was that relay burning out just bad luck?
Will update with progress...
thanks so much.

Maxx VitaSpa 2015. 2 pumps. See pics attached which should have all the details.
thanks, you rock!
-
I guess not
he is telling me that I need to buy those two black pieces as they probably cannot be saved when the relay is re-soldered... will try to find the right electronics person or I guess buy a new board for 650 bucks
-
how do these two hongfa pieces come off the circuit board without damaging them? Or do I need to order these two pieces to replace them?
-
Understood, much appreciated.
Just trying to understand if what needs to be re-affixed is the two black Hongfa boxes to the circuit board? Pic below.
thanks again!
-
Thank you! I assume they need to take off the black unit just under the K3 and K5 notation and then reconnect it? I ask specifics because they are asking me exactly what need to be done...
Is there something else that I should look at to prevent it from happening again?
thank you A MILLION!!
-
I see K3 and K5- pic attached also the back. Maybe it is a little black.
Having a tough time finding a place that will do it so I just want to make sure when I find a place that I’m specific with instructions...
thank you!
-
i don’t seem to see Y1, Y2, K5, K2, K3 on the circuit board... do you agree those are the ones that should be replaced?
-
I removed the circuit board, see pics. I don’t see any damage. Do you still think those relays need to be replaced? Or could it be something else?
thank you!!
-
@CanadianSpaTech thanks, meter read zero still (see pic). Though the connections had some corrosion on them.
@RDspaguy sounds like you agree that I need to fix circuit board.
better to fix board or replace? Sounds like boards are super pricey so may be quicker to fix just hoping I can find the right place. Thanks!

@RDspaguy Awesome, thank you!
If I brought the circuit board into an electronics shop, I’m not sure I’d be able to tell them exactly what needs to be done- is there a specific part on the board that needs to be fastened properly? (Circuit map attached)
Any idea what could have caused the issue? Last night I did notice that there was a leak coming from the heater union gasket when jets are on high. (See photo) and also the control panel temp up/down button sometimes after getting wet or heavy use has a difficult time registering the request (have to leave it be and return a few hours later), and has led to using objects to push the arrows hard (see pic).
Lastly, I had initially tested the voltage with a voltage meter (not multimeter) and tripped the circuit... not sure why but perhaps I was careless in where I was making contact.
Thanks so much, you’re a lifesaver!
-
@RDspaguy not sure what part needs to be replace or if I need to still test something else? 😑
-
Forgot to mention, when i did this test the heat light was on as it was trying to heat with the low jets circulating. Thanks!

@RDspaguy
it doesn’t seem that the pump is running extra, it’s only running as scheduled. However, I brought the filter schedule down from 4 hours per day to 1 hour in the middle of the night but I just can’t get the temp down, it seems to be heating up so quickly. My issue went from one extreme to the other! Maybe my electronics guy fixed the relay too good...
The water temp reading is accurate. The ambient temp is pretty warm, 80s and sunny. Just not sure how to resolve it, the control panel keeps stating “HEATER TOO HOT” press button to continue, I press a button and after 15 minutes the error message comes up again.
Thanks again!
