Hi team! I have a balboa hot tub. I have had to replace the heater twice in the last 8 months. I know that this shouldn’t be the case. They seem to last 4-6 months before blowing (trip the board and ohm tests show no current running through element). They don’t seem to show any obvious sign of damage, maybe just a bit of white and green around the connections. Does anyone know why the heaters don’t seem to be lasting too long? I am about to order another heater but wondering if I need to check or replace any other parts? could poor water health cause this? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Many Thanks

Hello, I bought a house 1 year ago, and it came with a HotSprings Grandee Spa, which worked great even after I refilled it back in April 2016. From the looks of it, it was manufacturd in 1999 or 2000. Anyway, I recently refilled the spa, and noticed that the heater wasn't working. TO be honest, I am not sure if the heater had been working before the refill, or if it stopped once I'd refilled it, because we hadn't used the spa in a couple of months. When I reset the heater, it clicks and clacks, I can see water moving through the inlet and outlet lines, but it kind of moves back and forth. Then, the high limit sensor trips, everything shuts off, and the power light flashes until I turn the breaker off for a minute or so, then turn it back on. Here is what I have done so far, for troubleshooting: 1. I tried resetting the spa and heater, with the filters removed. 2. I checked the water line coming from the heater for blockages or air...when I loosened the hose, water flowed freely from both the heater end, and the spa end. 3. I checked the voltage on the heater relay board, and it was perfectly fine. I noticed that when I hit the reset button on the heater, I hear the sound of water flowing, I see water move through the tubed going to and from the heater, there is clicking and clacking, the green "ready light" lights up, for a second, then the high limit sensor trips. What do you folks think? Is it the entire heater? THe high limit sensors? The thermostats? A blockage of buildup somewhere? I'm hoping to diagnose this without having to hire a tech. Putting this out on the forums is my last resort. -Chad

My spa has a slow but steady leak that looks like it is coming from one of the split nuts on the Balboa Heater. Does anyone know if this is common? I have read that I need to replace heater, but the unit was working OK before the leak. Looking for suggestions on fix from experts and others. Thank you.

I would like to extend my pool season and am not sure which route to go when thinking of heaters. We live in Newport News Virginia. Regular season is probably June through September. I would like to try and extend our enjoyment from maybe mid April till mid October. I checked on solar heaters and they run around $3000.00 installed (low end) for my pool. I have a 12 x 24 kidney shaped pool. Somewhere around 8000-10000 gallons. 3 1/2' deep to 5 1/2' deep. Just seems high to me. Also, since the front of my house faces south, the panels will be facing the street. What happens when you have to do roof work? Can the panels get damaged in wind storms? Oh well...My other thought is gas heaters. Found a Hayward 150 for around $1300. How well do gas heaters work? How much does it cost? I wouldn't have it on all the time, just when I know we are getting in it on certain days. How much is the contractor to hook up the electrical for this? How much is it to hook up the gas? Thanks in advance. Just trying to get advice and numbers. Steve and Jodi Henderson Newport News, Va.
