jdavis Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 My mom has an older 1990's soverign spa ss no. I 341126 not sure of exact year. The problem with the control or power board is bad according to technician. He indicated that a board like this one cannot be found and need a new spa. Looking for ideas and suggestions that I can do. New board purchased, other options. The spa is otherwise in great shape and has been working well before the board wen't bad. Thanks.

jdavis Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Just a follow-up. The spa is a 1994 Hot Springs Soverign. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 That would be a PWA board, PN 70821 - And yes, it is discontinued. I have two on my shelf, and many other HS dealers most likely do as well. $300 give or take, and that is a good used board. You may also be able to send it to a place like 'Horizon Spa Parts' in AZ and have them repair it - they do work on all types of boards - should cost less. I would also do a Google search to see if anyone has a new one on the shelf - These are all options to keep that spa running! It is very rare that those boards go bad, sorry to hear yours did.

PreservedSwine Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Wow, this is recent- thanks for the heads up- I just ordered one a few months ago, it was still available. Granted, it was the first one I had to order in over 10 years... I'd get rid of it as well though- 1994 was not the greatest year for Hot Springs. If you're unable to find a dealer with an old circuit board in stock, and if she's married to it- you could keep it original looking with a 1997 control box (71382) and 1997 control head (71260) The control head will attach to the existing faceplate, and will fit in the existing cut-out hole. You'll need to find a way to mount the control box, it doesn't matter where- the control head plugs into the control box via a data cable, unlike the 1994, where the control box *must* be mounted directly behind the control head.
