RDspaguy Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 He's saying your spa is one confusing SOB. I agree. Usually when spas go boom, they stop working, not start. It may be a fuse, my money is on the heater and board. I think we have reached that point. Does your spa have one jet pump or 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a SOB I think because its such an old SOB. It has just the one jet pump but it has 2 speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDspaguy Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Picked a hell of a day to stop sniffing glue! (Another airplane quote, I don't sniff glue unless I am at work.) I, again, would get a pack. You can buy a board and heater, maybe get it installed and wired right after a few days of back-and-forth on the forum, and get a 3 month warranty. Or you can spend a couple hudred more and get new everything with a 3 year warranty. Hook it up and connect 4 wires. Plug in the equipment. Set the switches. It is really a no-brainer as far as I am concerned. We still don't know what went boom. I guess it wasn't the pump capacitor since it ran afterwards. But if spa repair is your hobby, by all means do it piecemeal. What do you say, Canadaguy? Think our new friend can change an element without twisting the terminal and still keep it straight in the tube? Or should he get the complete assembly for a diy? Board about $220, heater assembly $100, $320 for that. New vs500 about $360 without topside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
