Dcgrmhan Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I've obtained (free) a 2002 Tiger River Bengal, 115 v Spa. 1st problem is jets only pulse when “Jets” button is pushed. Previous owner thought heater wasn’t working either. The LIM LED (green) is on. Heater has been set down to 80 so it doesn’t come on. When the heat is turned up after ~a minute SPA shuts off. When “Jets” button is pushed LED D18 flashes and the motor tries to get the jets going. You can hear the relays switching. I’ve bled air from lines, can hear motor running, can see shaft turning, can't tell if impeller is turning. The “comfort control system,” smart jet lever is turned to 3 o’clock. Water pulses out of “comfort control system” area. I’ve tried turning lever to other locations, it turns easily, though not sure it is actually moving. The Spa had been empty and unplugged for a couple years. Pretty sure I’ve got, at least 2 issues to resolve, Jets & heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservedSwine Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 There is no shaft on the circ pump that heats the spa. The circ pump runs continuous, in obscurity, moving roughly 3 gallons per minute in silence. The large pump is not involved in heating the water. If the high limit is trippig, it means the heater is working. But the circulation pump is suspect. It may well be broken, or the filter clogged. The jets may be pulsing for several different reasons. The first to rule out is a dirty filter, floating weir ring could be stuck, and make sure there's enough water in the spa. As far as the leaks, you'll need to see exactly where it's leaking.
