Danny 337 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I have a 2003 downeast spa, filter 1 runs constantly on low speed. This started after a power surge. It's set on standard mode and on f2. Power has been shut off over night and problem still remains after powering up. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Hot Tub Repair Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 When I hear "power surge" I usually suspect damage to the circuit board. I don't think I've ever seen a "Downeast Spa" in my area, but most hot tubs have guts made by the same two companies. Are you comfortable opening up the side and posting a picture of your spa pack?

PreservedSwine Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Another possibility, assuming it's using the jet pump the heat the water and does not have a separate circ pump... Is it heating properly? If it has not reached the temperature you set, it will continue to run trying to reach that temp, and will not shut off. Bad heater, broken relay, burned wiring, etc would be much less expensive than a bad PCB. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 337 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Heats to set temp and stops heating. Seems the heater is fine. Switched from standard setting to economy setting for now. This way it doesn't continue to run none stop. Never had an issue before on standard. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 337 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Master spa makes downeast spas. Having a problem uploading my pictures, not good with computers. It's a balboa 2000 LE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 337 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Some how it fixed it self, set it on standard mode after running it on ecno mode for a week and it shut itself down after running a cycle. Strange. Thanks for everyone's time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donts Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Hi. I’m having the exact same problem with the exact same tub. When you switched it to “Economy” mode, did the low jet ever stop running. Funny thing is I had a dream last night that my electric bill was $7,000, and I woke up to my hot tub not turning off at all! 😂🤣😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take off your access panel and photograph everything including the circuit board. Are you handy with a multimeter and know how to use it? A few of the experts around here might be able to help troubleshoot. But start a new post :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank L Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I have a Caldera Spa tub with a 2 speed pump and all of a sudden the circulator pump doesn't turn off. I lower the temp but it will continue to run until I manually shut off the pump. When it periodically turns on to circulate the water, it will not turn off automatically and I have to turn off manually again. Any thoughts? Thanks.

RDspaguy Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Most caldera spas have a 2 speed jet pump and a 24 hour circulation pump for heating and ozone injection. I assume you mean that the low speed on your 2 speed pump is running? Are there any errors on the display? Check your filter cycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZB Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I have a Balboa 3seater VS series spa. it was in economy mode and it would only reach 104 snd then cool down when in use. I switched it on and to standard mode and it heated to 104 and stayed at 104-103 while in use. I then turned it off. It started on its own next day, and kept running till it reached 137, it would not turn off when I tried to turn it off. Had to pull power switch. Anyone have a clue what could be wrong????

RDspaguy Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 @LZB, you should start your own thread. Include brand (balboa does not make spas, just control systems), recent history, and pics of circuit board and wiring diagram. 1 hour ago, LZB said: switched it on 1 hour ago, LZB said: then turned it off Please explain, as a Balboa vs does not have an on/off switch. Do you mean the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
