Hi All, I've been testing/fixing my pumps using a 120v wall plug for short durations. I've found in some cases that on 120v a pump won't spin up without help, but when I hook it up to the 240v connection in the tub it works fine. I have an unused 240v dryer outlet which is a NEMA 10-30 style from my research. I'd like to use this outlet to bench test my pumps on 240v. Can I just use a pump cable and replace the board connection side with a 240v NEMA 10-30 plug? I do realize that I could also just plug the pump into the board with it outside the tub, but honestly the less I can touch the board the better I'll feel. When the tub is working I'd much rather leave things alone. Is 240v power from this type of outlet OK to run a 240v hot tub pump? Thanks for any insight. Rob

Hi all, we’ve been enjoying the heck out of our recently purchased 2008 Sundance Camden spa but I would like to add a timer so I can keep the spa off until a designated time. I’m open to an analog or digital solution and I’m quite handy (able to perform any electrical / install work requires) but I just need to know if/how most people would accomplish this. All ideas are welcome! Please note the tub is currently hard wired to our main panel through a 40 amp breaker (240v). Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Just purchased a fully loaded Marquis Spirit - bluetooth radio, wifi, micro silk, etc. Can't wait for it to be delivered and to get into it! We are in NJ, and the tub will be in a 3-season room (concrete slab, roof, but 3-sides are open) Question: Should we plug it into the existing 120V outlet, or would it be worth the extra expense to have a dedicated 240V line ? From research, it seems there are only two benefits of a 240V line: 1) hot tub will heat up faster 2) heater can run when jets are on high (but will run when jets are on low) What should we do ? Is the time to heat up only an issue when you initially fill the tub ? I had another tub along time ago, i would keep at 90 or so, and then heat up to 103F when we wanted to use it. Is that not a workable strategy with 120V, and we'd need to keep the water near 100F all the time ? Any other differences in performance ? thanks!

I have a Balboa Instruments System with at EL2000 board. MS5000, Mach3 system. I have verified 240v wired to the board by an electrician, however when the system starts, during the boot-up, the system only detects 120v. The symptoms are that heater heats really slowly. How do I convince or configure the system that 240v is wired to it?
