louislinus Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi all - Thanks for all the great posts here and advice. It has been very helpful with setting up our new (to us) tub. We were given a free tub (as mother in law says, "like giving someone a 'free' puppy" ). I don't have much history on the tub and am having a tough time figuring out how to work it. It is an Advanced Spa Designs, but the heater is Pinnacle. It seems to work. I am decontaminating it now. There is no display on this tub so I have no way of knowing what temp it is, guess I'll have to buy a thermometer. There are several white buttons that you push. Two of them are together and one of them is by its lonesome in a corner. There is a dial that you turn that turns on the jets. The jets turn on and off and the water is circulating, but the white buttons do nothing. And the light doesn't seem to work. I can get the jets to turn off but not the circulating/bubbling. And I can't find out what model this is to search for a manual online. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbear Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Moving your thread to the hot tub section and out of the chemistry section so it is more likely to get seen by someone who can help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 They sound like "Air Switches" to me.. One will be for the light, one should be pump low/high. There should be small plastic hoses attached to the back that leed to electrical switches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1oty Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Pictures would be helpful. Most of the ASD equipment is NLA, but you can check with LA Spas. They are the modern iteration of ASD. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louislinus Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'll try to post pics tonight. I'm pretty sure the switches are broken. How do I access the switches to see what I need? I'm guessing I need to access from the outside of the tub as there doesn't seem to be anyway to remove the plate the switches are set into. Grr. The is frustrating. I just want to hop in my tub!

tony357 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 remove the hose from the control panel have someone push the switch as you feel for air pressure, it is a light amount of air maybe a couple inch pounds.. Also you can check the switch for an air leak, if you depress the switch and hold your finger over the end of the hose it should stay depressed, if the button works its way back up you have a leak in either the hose or switch. here is a pic of air switch.

n1oty Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Much of the ASD equipment and its subsequent iteration, A.H. Equipment Corp, did NOT use pneumatic controls. If he has one of their pneumatic controls, that is a rare version. ASD and A.H. Equipment were some of the very early adopters of fully electronic controls. I believe that I still have a couple of their boards in my storage somewhere, as I did a lot of warranty work for them back in the 80's and early 90's.
