mitch Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Ive recently tried to convert my 2000 hot springs sovereign model I from 110v where it performs perfecly to 230v. After following all the wireing instructions to the letter I discovered that because of the strapping of the #6 and #7 connections on the terminal block within the IQ 2000 pack the 20amp and the 30amp ground fault breakers would trip immediately upon supplying power to the tub. well I figured strapping a ground to a load was always going to trip the breakers, so I unstrapped #6 and #7. This stopped the breakers from tripping! GREAT. WRONG. Now the high limit trips on the heater after a few minutes of operation, and the digital display is reading in what looks like celcius? Back to 110v and running perfectly!!!! Why will this tub not convert? HELP!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are jumpers that need to be installed on the terminal block and small plastic ones within the control panel that need to be moved. I would need to see some good close-up pictures of the breaker panel wiring and the terminal block on the tub before I can give any suggestions or ideas.
