I have an old Hot Springs Sovereign (IQ2000) that we had a tech come out and diagnosed a faulty heater (had electrified water) and a cord that had no GFCI. Upon replacing the heater and cord, the tub worked fine but would trip the GFCI after about 20min or so with jets on, other than that no issues. Now I have a flashing red light and I can't do anything with the tub. I called the same repair place and they said I needed thermisters, I ordered those and installed myself as it was easy, and I ohmed out the old ones and new ones (I don't think that was my problem). I now still have a red light flash, my circ pump has good bubbles and flow, and I have pulled filters and tried that. I have also tried cracking the hose by the circ pump and opening both my drain lines. Not sure where else to go other than pulling the heater they installed and seeing if it has debris, as I don't want to replace the board in such an old tub. Where should I go next? If it's a bad board is there anyway around that? Any advice is highly appreciated! -
Hi everyone, I have a 95 Hot Springs Soverign that recently stopped heating. I found the first problem to be a clogged filter. To be sure, I removed the filter completely overnight and checked it in the morning and all was fine. A few days later I went to get in it and found the dreaded blinking red light. The tub is completely dead and I have NO FLOW from the circulation pump so I don't think it is a limit switch issue. I did disconnect and test both limit switches anyway. I get 14 ohms on one a 4 on the other. Should they be zero, or is this OK? (I don't mind replacing while I have it all apart as they are getting old anyway). Now on to the circulation pump. In testing voltage, I have 120 volts coming into the control box. Inside the box are several (what I believe to be) relays. These are black modules (Potter & Brumfield manufacturer name on the side) about the size of a few stacked domino's. The one that feeds power to the circulation pump shows 120 volts across the black and white wires going to it, but on the output side going to the circ pump, I get nothing. So I'm thinking this is the problem, but I'm wondering if there is more to the story. There are two additional brown wires going to the unit and I don't know their purpose so I'm not sure if the relay is open and not sending voltage to the pump for a reason or not. One thing I did not do, but can, is to bridge the wires across the relay just to verify that sending voltage to the pump will turn it on. I'm not exactly sure what that would tell me other than the pump works however. Any help would be appreciated!
