Kube1989 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 It is a 2004 diplomat ultralife. Been working fine all of a sudden today even though circulation pump is moving water great when powered up it said low-flow. If I turn on pump two it lets me go to low and high speed and turn them off but once I turn on pump 1 it come comes on in low and it won't let me turn it to high and none of the other controls other than the light bulb work at that point. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kube1989 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Sorry been awful busy and haven't had a chance to get back around two things. Attached is the controls and the top side. I thought maybe it was a problem with the pump itself but when I switch comp input on the spot pack it still has the same effect Jets 1 locks out the controls until the timer runs through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 What do you mean by "locks out the control"? Does the display go blank, do any other buttons work, does it just show flo? 2 hours ago, Kube1989 said: when I switch comp input on the spot pack it still has the same effect ???

CanadianSpaTech Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 When was the last time you cleaned the filters? Remove them until issue is fixed. Take them out of the equation. Once removed reset the main GFCI breaker. If the flo comes back you will need to look towards the pressure switch. It might need adjustment or replacement. Based on the spas age I would replace. You could try to jumper the pressure switch wires as well to verify. If you get to this step check back before trying and we can walk you through it if needed. Safety first if you are not handy please don't attempt. Let us know results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kube1989 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Buy locked out I mean if I just turn on and off a light or turn jet to on the low or low or high or back off it acts fine as soon as I turn on jet one which of course goes into low position first after that none of the controls on the control panel work until the timer has run out for the Jets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kube1989 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 And as for the flow switch... I just did a full drain and clean and rinsed then cleaned then rinsed again all the filters. Soon as it turns on I can see the flow from the circulation pump right away but it comes up first saying low flow. This is a brand-new circulation pump that has the integrated flow switch.

That's nice. Soooo are they in or out. There is a process to diagnostics and we can't help if you don't answer questions clearly or follow direction. If flo returns disconnect the flow switch at P 10 and touch the 2 pins at the same time with a flat head screwdriver to "Jumper" the flow switch. Does the flow go away? Again safety first.

Kube1989 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I powered it up in both conditions. The flow is there regardless even with the low flow message. The message on the screen only says low-flow for about 15 seconds then it kicks into saying heating to 102 degrees. Whether the filters are in or out it starts off saying low flow for the first 15 seconds. And the circulation pump is throwing a steady stream of water coming out of the two ports.- within 1 or 2 seconds of powering up the tub. I have not pulled the flow switch connector and jump them I'm kind of in the middle of prepping dinner 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
