shovelhd Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Did you wire it up yourself? I wonder if you have 110 where 220 should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 That tub should heat within a few hours... and if your pump was going for a couple of days, than it probably is from the pump. Call Arctic and they will help you over the phone. No your not going to get 50 degrees in a few hours. 12-20 degrees yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsgs Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Its a 2003, Arctic Spa, with 17 jets, 1 pump. I had the wiring done by a certified dude, who specializes in Hot Tubs.... I've been messing around with this tub for 5 days, every night, and can't get much accomplished, as nothing I can see is un hooked, burnt, or missing. I think I will just call the Spa Tech people on Monday, and get out my Visa. Thanks for everyones help, I will turn it over to those who get paid to do this, instead of me bumbling around, and getting more and more frustrated.

mrfixit Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I did not read all the thread, so I may be beating a dead horse here.. this issue sounds to me like a heater relay. Some tubs have 2 heater relays, each one supplying 110v to the heater for a total of 220v. If one of those relays are bad you will get only 110v to the heater and a very slow heating cycle. I have run into this many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsgs Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I have looked at all I can access, without taking off the "motherboard" which the relays are attached to. I can see the relays, or fuses, clipped on there, but without removing the board, I can't get them off. I think I will just call the repair guy, and go from there. If it was something simple, and I was able to get at it, and do it myself, I would have, but I am getting in beyond my capabilities, and as soon as I think its one, thing, I get informed it could be another, not to complain. I had numerous replies on here, and really do appreciate them, however if it takes a person on site to identify the problem, which it looks like it will, I guess that is the safest, and best route to take, regardless of cost. I do not wish to start replacing things, on the assumption that is what is wrong, only to find I still have the problem, or have made things worse. If it was a Norton motorcycle, or a BMW, maybe I would stand a chance, but it being a Spa, ..... Thank you for all the help, and I will advise what the problem was, after I get the bill for it...

Roger Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I did a fill yesterday on my Tundra. 7hrs to go from 51 to 100. Thats a few doubled plus some. Thats about what a 5 KW heater should do. A 6 KW would do better. I've seen them faster than that and slower. gallons is another factor. The OP's is screwed up.

James Keirstead Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hey VSGS. Did you reach your dealer? Were they able to solve your heating issue? If you are still having troubles, send me a note and I will see what I can do to help. Kind regards, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
