Short version of the story…
Bought a house, had this D1 already, previous owners claimed they didn’t live here (which I believe due to other items found around house) and had the tub winterized and drained about 4 yrs ago. My wife and I figured cool, free hot tub, I thoroughly clean it, scrub it, change all o-rings, reconnect all piping, turn it on, lights work, pump works, and then seconds later the magic smoke starts escaping.
I tried finding a replacement circuit board but an internet search returns no results, emailed a company that is said to manufacturer a replacement, no response, and I’m wondering what my options are now. Local D1 seller told me to call D1, D1 says they don’t make this model anymore and a local tech should be able to help, and any tech in the area won’t touch D1 for some reason, I have no issue doing the work myself but don’t know where to locate parts. Does anyone have a website, catalog, company that they could share? So many people have told me just to cut it up and buy another but that just seems crazy to me…never owned a hot tub before so maybe that’s normal though?
