Hope someone can help with this. I have tried most of the troubleshooting answers I could find.
2014-2015 Artesian Spas Captiva, 5.5kw heater, 3 pumps plus circulation, Balboa MBP20VLV
Spa will heat up to the set point and sometimes it will exceed the set point. Heater too hot error shows up Then it goes into safe/economy mode. Water will cool down but heater will not come back on until I activate the buttons then it will work fine until it repeats. (Only has exceeded tub temp of 107 once in last 2 weeks other time error shows up at set temp or just over (panel temp readout verified with independent floating thermometer that polls every 10 minutes.)
replaced both temp sensors.
Have ran it without filters.
Heater has 240 volts. drawing about 22.5 amps when on.
Has a circulation pump to the water fall which has full width of water coming out of it. (water fall is usually 2 degrees higher than current tub temp with heater on)
Heating on display will go off then power to element also goes off.
Checked circulation pump body for high temp over period of 12 hours and it was around 110-120 degrees so not overheating and shutting down.
Today triggered control panel at 8 am at 91 degrees. rose to 99 in 1.5 hours so circulation is there but rise seems fast.
Pulled the circuit board today , no scorches, all relays click on and off. zero resistance when closed, back to resistance when open.
Not sure what else to check.
Thanks for any help.
