Tubber McGee Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 RSC - I believe the part they are changing is called the CONTROL HEAD - I will find out for sure on Saturday! and YES you have the same issue that I have = I bet your dealer is not aware of the issue - call Watkins ( I talked with a Marianne ) - she is aware of this issue now as she confirmed it with her manager today! Watkins is aware of the issue = they put a fix in place for newer spas THEOJT - I did not get a Tech Bulletin number - sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsc92 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Since last night the green light has been on the hot tub. Temperature seems to be within 2 degrees of set temperature. I will continue to monitor it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footie Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Have you tried the temperature after the cover has been off for say 15-20mins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsc92 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I used the tub last night around 8pm. At that time the set temp was 99 and the actual temp was 101. Used the tub for about 35 minutes. Temp dropped to about 99-100 during the use. Cover has been on all night and when I woke up this morning at 6am, the green light was on - indicating that the actual temp was within 2 degrees of set temp. It is 11:30am now and the green light is on and has been every time I checked it since I woke up. I am wondering if there were other factors which caused the tub to "overheat" yesterday. I did have the ACE system installed, the installer had the tub off for 20 minutes, dropped the water level an inch or two and then added more (cold) water back into the tub. So, I am just thinking that there may have been other circumstances that caused it to "overheat." Rather than replace what may not be broken, I will watch it and if it happens again, then I will have it serviced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark rider Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 rsc92, my Grandee behaves the same way. I've left mine set at 100, and it's typically 102F when I first lift the cover. About 5 mins. after the jets have been circulating, temp decreases to right at 100 and stays there for pretty much as long as I use the tub. I don't think there's anything wrong with mine. Factory inspection date on mine (sticker on the controller inside service bay) is 10/10/2010 and all appears to function normally. Actually, I do have one warranty issue, I need to get resolved. One of my LED's behind the MotoMassage cover doesn't display all of the colors. Otherwise, my tub has been flawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsc92 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Well it has been several days and my Vanguard has been maintaining temperature. Glad my unit does not have the problem after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
