I have a new Clearwater spa, located outdoors. Have the temperature set at 101F. Yesterday was partly sunny and 75F. When I opened it last night it was at 108F. I called the dealer who said that the overheating is due to the heavy insulation and the 24-hr. circulation pump running, generating heat. if the circulation pump does not run, the filtration does not take place and the ozone system is not functioning. The solution would be to prop the cober open so that some heat escapes. it sounds unbelieveable that a spa would be designed in a way that that overheating would be an expectation. Comments or opinions?

Hi everyone. So we finally caved and bought a new to us Clearwater, circa 1997. I don't know the exact model, I can't find it anywhere and like a meathead, I've lost the paperwork. It has Balboa controls on it. Long story short I got it all wired and filled and fired it up, and everything seemed fine besides a pretty substantial leak next to the niche. Water temperature was 62.7*F (ambient 65.5*F) out of the hose. After a few hours had gone by, it had climbed to 67.2*F. Awesome. I did some reading on biofilm, grossed myself out so ran to the nearest store to grab some cleaner. Was gone about an hour and a half total. I came home to the spa controls displaying "Oh." Water temperature was 67.7*F. Pump was not running. I decided to cycle the power at the breaker and when I did that, I was immediately greeted with an "Sn" code. Pump does not operate at all, doesn't go through priming, just goes straight into "Sn." Have cycled a few times, this is all I get. What paperwork I've found shows that typically a machine will operate with an Sn code, and it should flash with another number. Is this correct? I pulled resistance readings and showed 61.6kohms on the temp lead, and 54.4kohms on the high-limit (which if I understand properly is the one that goes to the shell, near the footwell. I do not have dip switches to enter a test/diagnostic mode. This was with the water temp at 63.3*F. If it matters, part numbers are as follows: Control Module: Balboa DU-GRDELT-DCA 51597 Top side controls: Balboa/Clearwater, two numbers 51558 and 33394 Sensor Assy: Balboa 30337 Edit: More information - tub has not been used for at least a year, probably much longer. Tub was stored dry, clean and covered.
