I have a 2013 artesian spa grand bahama hot tub. My topside panel display has been wearing out and I feel like it’s on borrowed time, from what I’ve read their panel is basically a balboa tp800 with different overlay, it looks like this: https://www.hottuboutpost.com/artesian-spa-control-panel-tp800-33-1314-08-2-pump-3-pump/ even though it has a larger plastic surround the hole is the same as the tp800. I figured since I have to change the panel anyway I might as well upgrade while I’m at it and was considering installing a balboa spatouch 3. The main issue I’m seeing is the hole already in the spa is wider than needed the tp800 hole is 8.88” wide (https://www.balboawatergroup.com/getdoc.cfm?id=1367) the spatouch 3 hole is only 5” wide (https://www.balboawatergroup.com/getdoc.cfm?id=2457) What would be the best way to fill in the opening? I figured I could get some sort of plate and silicone that to the shell of the tub, then cut the new hole into that, but what material should I use. I’m curious what others have done or what people feel would be the best option?

I checked all that. The tub is set to ready mode, the temp is set to high range, and filter cycle 1 is set to be from 8:00am to 8:00pm and filter cycle 2 is set to be 8:00pm to 8:00 am which should keep the circulation pump running. That’s how it’s been set as long as I’ve owned it. Reading the manual and the menus I don’t see any reason it should be shutting off the pump and stopping heating (and just showing dashed next to the temp)

Thanks for the info. In my 7 years owning the tub I’ve never had it do this before. How do I stop it from doing that and just have it hold temperature? I can’t find anything in the menus. The first time I found it doing this (when I got home from a trip) the tub was down to 42 degrees when the set point is 104. Today it was at 80, I hadn’t looked at it in 2 days since I’ve been sick. Like I said I hit 1 butting and the set point comes back and the circulator and heat kick on, but I guess in a day or so it goes back into this economy mode that it’s never done before.

I have an Artesian Spa Grand Bahama that I am having a heating issue with and am not sure where the problem could be coming from. The spa is at least 8 years old as I’ve lived in the house 7 and the previous owner put it in a couple years before. it’ll run fine for a couple days, but then every few days when I go out to it the circulating pump won’t be running and the display will just show - - - for the current temperature. The weird thing is there is no error code shown (in the past I had an overheating g issue that would then have the heater shut off that the just kinda went away after a week). If I touch any of the buttons on the controls (a jet button, the lights, or any menu button) instantly the temperature then reads the current temp and the pump and heater turn back on. Does anyone know what the cause t could be that is causing g the pump to turn off and the temp to read dashes, but then come right back on if I touch any button? I’m really kinda stuck here, don’t know what parts I should be looking into whether the temp sensors or what. I already replace the circulating pump once about 6 years ago when it seized.
