Hi All, I'm nearing the point where I turn this tub into a planter. I went out to test the water for NYE festivities, and while the temp was set to 89, the actual temp was 84. The 24 HR circulation pump was running strong. I removed the control panel cover and opened the spa-pac and I could visibly see one of the connections to the heater sizzling/arcing. I shut down the GFCI immediately and took these pictures. I can't be sure how long this was happening but I haven't opened the cover in 2 days. It may have been going on for a while. This is a Thermospa -Manhattan (not sure that matters), with a balboa board and heater. I'm assuming the board has been ruined, but can someone give me a better sense of what might have been damaged? I actually have a spare board that came with the tub. Any thoughts as to a cause? I've been running this heater for a few months now with no issues at all. I don't see any water damage on the board and everything is dry under the tub. Does the heater need to be replaced? How do I check on the heater's state. I'm so frustrated right now. I need to settle down and think clearly. It doesn't help that here in MA we are approaching deep freeze weather so I need to fish or cut bait with this repair, else risk the water freezing. No such thing as a 'free' hot tub. And I just got the bleach/dichlor method down perfect. Thanks, Rob

Heya! Heat stopped working on Sun dance Spa from '95, popped open the board to find some melted wires/board. Had been using it for the past 6 months no problem, a few GFCI trips that had no explanation. Breaker panel at house is good so I assume when I hooked it up I didnt tighten the nuts/screws enough and with enough use they became loose and arcing occurred? I have been checking and this is about as much information I can make a guess out of, any ideas on what went wrong and how to prevent in future if i replace the board? two pics here, looks like hot coming in was melted and hot going out in addition to the bar above it https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ufuQrYu9zISTIyTkYydXBMbXVsREJJelVmZzFONlljazB3 https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ufuQrYu9zIOFRUNVk1ZlFrVzV4SEhrVkRMa2x3N1l0N29Z Thanks
