HSFan Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 No problem. Humor best medicine👍🏼 Well woke up and tub at 101 degrees, ready light on. Turn pump 1 on and ran for 20 mins. Turn both pumps on and been running for past 30 mins!😁 Hopefully stays good all day and more! 🤞 Thanks for all your expert guidance and patience getting me thru this!

RDspaguy Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 I would tighten up the wires on the breaker just to be sure. Check for discolored or burned insulation on the wires. I have a feeling you have not seen the end of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSFan Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Will do. I have box outside by hot tub with gfi Breakers connected to breaker box in garage. The garage breakers are original from old tub. I’ll open it up to see if any issues. Thx for headsup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Just glad it is working. Happy hot-tubbing! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSFan Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Im back and you were right! 🤨Garage breaker blew 3 times since last message. (But enjoyed incident free tubbing several times) I checked breaker visually and looked all ok. Going to replace breaker with Eaton 230250 quad $22. Picture shows breaker slightly popped. Will keep u posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSFan Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hello again, my new heater not getting water hot. It is set at 103 but feels like 80. Circ pump is working and see bubbles in hot tub. All breakers are in correct position. Should both green and red LED on board be on? Any assistance appreciated.

RDspaguy Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 The "limit ok" and "heater on" LEDs should be lit. If they are and the power and ready lights on the control aren't blinking then it is a bad relay board, heater, or tripped manual high limit if you have one. Test for voltage to the heater at the board terminals. Do you have voltage? Check heater for a reset button on the black box part of the heater. Often behind a rubber plug in the box. Test heater for continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSFan Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hope you’re well. Thanks for advice and will check voltage. Ive attached description of purchased heater element and has auto reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
