Dan Mo Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I am a Caldera Martinique spa and the pressure switch went bad. I have tried ordering a new one from multiple sites that have them listed, but after I order, they let me know they are out of stock and they do not have a date when they will be back in stock. Anyone have success in ordering them? Are they not being produced anymore? I am specifically looking for a Watkins Pressure Switch 73995 w/Wire Harness. Unfortunately the larger pressure switches available do not fit. Thanks for the insight! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchett Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Watkins typically prefers to work with authorized retailers - and Watkins likes their authorized dealers to perform service on spas, so replacement parts aren't always available from third party websites. Since the start of COVID, there has been a huge demand for hottubs putting a strain on the supply chain everywhere. Instead of looking online, I'd reach out to your local authorized Caldera dealer. See if they have a spare pressure switch in stock they would be willing to sell you. Note that some dealers outsource labor to other Caldera dealers in the region, so if you get a "no" from one dealer, try calling around to a few other Caldera shops in your area.

castletonia Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Pressure switches have been hard to get for the past 6 months or so. Supply does not meet demand. Try reaching out to Hot Spring dealers as well, same part, same part number. I would assist if I could, but I only have one pressure switch in my store until the ones I have on backorder arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imlost Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Consider using a flow switch in lieu of a pressure switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
