I rented a house for 3 months. One of the main reasons was it came with a hot tub. This is my first time with a hot tub experience and boy am I learning a lot already. The model is a dreammaker Balboa rs101 board.
I get all the supplies, change the water, turn it on and get a flashing Sn error code alternating with the temperature. Contact the landlord and landlord tells me its my responsibility to take care of the hot tub if I want to use it (which is BS) but long story is I work with this person's husband and I don't want to make it awkward.
So I start researching and it seems its a temperature sensor, look up the part and it seems like a simple fix and not worth arguing with the real estate property manager over it for a 30 dollar part. I order the part, change it out and get the same error message still. I read its unlikely that both sensors will go out but who knows.
I put the board into test mode and sensor A is 65 and sensor B is 69, I swap the positions and it still says sensor A is 65 and sensor B is 69. I swapped the old sensor with the other old sensor and kept the new one in and it still says A is 65 and B is 69 with alternating Sn.
Do I just give up at this point? Or do I try one last thing and get another sensor and this way I've swapped both out. I'm not wanting to spend hundreds-thousands of dollars to fix someone else's hot tub.
Thanks in advance for reading the long story.
