Okay I disconnected the heater from the other plumbing lines and unscrewed it from where it was mounted so I could get a better look at the out insulation and how bad it was damaged. It still just bugs me that this could have been prevented if the wire wasn't not routed with such a site turn...

Thanks for confirming those ohm readings. I appreciate that. I'm draining the spa and will be removing the heater, at least unscrewing it from its install location to get a better inspection of the wires. I know I have not been near that area of the wire with my hands or any tools since...

Okay I disconnected the blade connectors connecting the heater wires to the to electrical board and also the 3 blade connectors connecting the circulation pump(it's labeled as circ pump on the board) wires to the board. I tested the ohms or each device and here are the results Heater- 10.0 on...

Thank you TIMMAH for the troubleshooting steps. I will go through those and get back with the results. Funny, I thought it was going to be easy to get this spa going, but not having an exact history of it I think I set my expectations too high.

I set my google search results when clicked to open in a new tab. I also set my mouse wheel button to open links in a new tab. So I left click to have the link perform its normal behavior and I mouse wheel click a link if I want to open it in a new tab. I do quite a bit of mouse wheel link...

What about taking this "SOLVED!" suggestion and making it more official by placing it in the appropriate thread in the Pool Rules area?

Love this :idea:. :goodjob: What about rating the quality of others posts, questions, answers, helpfulness? Perhaps members could gain reputation points or Gift Card points and then trade those in on a gift card or discount code towards TFTestkits.com

Okay I found something else going on now. I connected the hose to the main drain last night and opened the valve to drain out the higher chlorinated(100ppm) water that was used for the decontamination flush. Remember the power to the spa will remain on if I turn the jets on right away and so I...

No it is not an LCDI plug to my knowledge. The owner's manual. labeling on the outlet cover, instructions/warning stickers in the equipment area and molded into the large plastic plug casing along with other print are all mentions of GFCI. Yes when the power is loss to the spa the power led on...

So I'm trying to get a spa going to do a decontamination flush. I filled the spa and when I plug the large spa plug into the outlet, the power indicator on the plug comes on, I hear what I think is the spa low flow pump come on, the spa control panel lights up(power light, ready light ,and...

Re: Leaking spa heater connector, Replacement parts or Repai Thanks for the link and the idea for contact. I did not know I could contact them directly. I'll search for some numbers. You know what I found interesting while reading in the owners manual I discovered that the heater only runs...

Re: Leaking spa heater connector, Replacement parts or Repai Thanks for the quick reply Rambler. :) There was some substance inside the black fitting white-ish/tan-ish, slightly flaky, most fell out. It did not seem securely attached to the sides. May I please have the link you speak of...

So I was filling the tub to do a decontamination and drain. I had the side panel off and when the water level/pressure got high enough I noticed water leaking at the black plastic fitting that houses what I figure is the temp sensor and connects to the silver metal pipe of the heater. (black...

Sorry, I'm not clear on this. I thought if I were not to use used the tub every day or two then I would use the 2-step bromine method as as my spa has an ozonator and thus I might not need a floater and tabs. What am I misunderstanding?

Correct those test results were of well and softened water. The hot tub is still empty. Good point on the CYA in those results and the quality of their test machine. What's the saying on here? I was pool stored or spa stored.
