dashmer Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I have a Gecko in.K1000 touch screen keypad on my Beachcomber hot tub that drives us crazy at times. It looks like this one: The issue is when using the jets and air and if there is a slight breeze, we get a buildup of mist from the tub on the screen. Then when you want to use it, it shows a hand wiping motion wanting you to wipe the screen off before it will let you do anything. With wet hands, it usually takes numerous attempts to access it. On rare occasions it will not unlock at all and the breaker has to be reset to clear the issue. Has anyone run into this with this topside controller or other brands of touch sensitive screens? If so, did you find a work around? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Never tried and just throwing it out there. Try at your own peril... Rain X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch67 Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 If the rain-x worked that would be ideal. My 0.02 would be to bring a hand towel out with you and lay it over the topside display when you are out there, and you can use it to wipe it off. A big PIA in my opinion but hopefully would help.

dashmer Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Thanks for the suggestions gents. I have tried RainX and it did seem to help at first, but either wore off quickly or didnt seem to help after a couple weeks. We have been thinking about using a small sponge or towel so that might be next. I was wondering too if this is an issue with this touch pad or if other brands are having similar issues. While the simplicity of it is great, sometimes the old school buttons just work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I have had a few complaints over the last few years with the cover activating the spa when it is closed. If you find a workable solution please report back and help the next person. Old school buttons still have their issues as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
