Does anyone have any experience with Gecko Spa System. Is it good or bad? Thinking of using it to replace my present system which isn't working and is 13 years old. http://www.hottubessentials.ca/gecko-in-therm-heater.html

Very comfortable working with a multimeter. Could I just spray electrical cleaner on the relay? I have some and some other cleaners on hand.

Hi, I have a Pacific Hot tub with Balboa panel and Aber top side panel. Today the jet pump stopped working as I may have overfilled yesterday. I add some water to raise the level and forgot all about it.. Today the jet pumps don't turn on if in filtration cycle or by pushing the button on the...

Well said! I also may have broken the original breaker when installing it in the freezing cold.

I replaced the breaker with a 40 amp as specified in the manual and after 6 hours runs perfect. No wires are getting hot. I had put the original breaker in during the winter and I think it cracked a bit when I tighten the screw.

I do agree with replacing the breaker asap. I haven't yet as I would like to make sure I have the right amperage breaker based on the data that I previously posted since they are expensive. I am currently using 50 amp.

It's a hot tub. Two pumps. One is a circ pump and the other is a high low speed pump which runs during heating, filtration cycle and to work the jets. As for the panel there is a direct line of 6-3 wire from the panel inside to a panel outside the house as seen in the picture. The panel...

Here is the picture of the panel. Only the tub is connected to it. [/URL][/IMG] I haven't replaced the breaker yet as I wanted to do some quick amp reading as I now own an clamp meter and want to confirm the correct amp breaker first. On the side of the circuit panel it says 32 amp 240v 60hz...

The GFI breaker has recently has been jumping lately. Whenever the heater kicks in a few minutes later the breaker jumps and one if the leads coming from the breaker gets hot and smokes a little. Here is a picture of the lead . I tested the breaker with a volt meter. 117 volts from each hot...

I had the circ pump test by a local shop. They said it produced 3-5 psi which is correct.

I replaced the main pressure switch on the tube. I set it to the lowest PSI, same problem occurred. I then set it to 2 PSI which is factory spec. Better but the problem eventually occurred. I disconnected the pressure switch for the circuit pump so the only switch connected at the moment is the...

Thanks for the reply. I can set mine from 80-100 degrees. When first turned on it sets itself to 100 degrees.

So tested both and neither has continuity. Basically the pressure switch has four wires. Two come from the panel and go to the pressure switch. The other two from the pressure switch to the flow sensor. There are only two connectors on the pressure switch each receiving a wire from the flow...
