If its a Balboa pack, sounds like the dip switches might not be set right seeing as you replaced both the topside and the board. If it's a Gecko, it might be the low level setup that's not configured right. Post up the requested pictures.

Has it got a diverter valve? If so, try moving it to see if the flow changes.

The problem with using Clorox these days are the "fresh scent" additives. Same for just about any store brand bleach. Going with pool chlorine gets you usually a higher strength concentration of chlorine as well as no additives that can cause things like foaming.

The @ease system works. It's easy to use and has minimal maintenance. BUT, it's not cheap to run and the smartchlor cartridges don't last anywhere as long as King wants you to believe. I have a 300 gal tub and if I'm lucky, I could get 4 weeks out of a smartchlor cartridge, usually 3-3.5 weeks...

You can buy the mineral cartridge separately. It's not cheap though, about $35.

Used Spa's are still pricey. While it does sound a bit high for a 8 year old tub, it isn't all that much out of line in today's market. Rule #1 - See if filled and operating. Make sure everything works. Make sure it doesn't leak. Rule# 2 - Pay a pro to move it. Make sure you factor that into...

You shouldn't need to put holes in the spa for that lifter. That is exactly the one I have and all I needed to do was mount the brackets on the spa cabinet. It does make a great privacy wall for the side of the tub it's mounted on. Seeing as the installers for my tub had already mounted the...

Looks like it will be a nice addition in a nicely done area.

I got to thinking about this and regardless of fill height, the inside of the shell shouldn't leak. I would be calling the dealer and having them come out and seal the thru fittings. Same with taking care of the cover. If you have enough bathers at the recommended fill height, the water level...

On my hot tub, many manufacturers recommended fill height is to the bottom of the lowest pillow. One bather will raise the water level enough so the neck jets are submerged. I believe Tidal Fit is a May Manufacturing product (Artesian) and that's what they say to use for fill height in my owners...

The board appears to match the diagram although it's hard to tell in the picture. I believe I read BC2003 on the white sticker across the relays. The diagram is for a BC2003.

We run ours at 102 year round. If I get in it after a couple of shots, I'm good for about 10 minutes when I start to feel funky and need to get out. Lesson learned Bourbon, me and long soaks don't go well together.

I''s probably a glass fuse. Go with a 20A fuse. Start with a fast acting fuse and if necessary change over to a slow blow. I/m going to trust the wiring diagram over the board simply because the board might not have the latest silkscreen changes while the wiring diagram will be the latest revision.

Need to see exactly what you have. Post up any wiring diagrams on the cover and a picture of the Spa Pack PCB. Most have larger Zettler relays near the heater contacts. The hard part of the repair is pulling the board and labeling all the connections. Replacing the relay's is using some solder...

Remember, this is a 110V spa. It takes a long time to heat up the water, about .5 to 1 degree an hour. I honestly don't know anything specific on the saluspa. Just know how hot tubs work in general. I'm going to assume that you didn't buy this from a spa dealer but from Amazon, Home Depot or the...

My Artesian was delivered in May. I can't speak for what's being delivered now but mine has been trouble free and hasn't had any noticeable quality issues. Can't speak on long term quality with then now using the sure grip connections on the Jets but that was a change that Artesian was very...

I don't have any advice on the cover but there should be a thermostat that kicks in at a preset temperature that is programmed into the control board. Like a 2 degree drop starts the heater. With inflatables, the heater will not usually kick in when running the pump during use. It also takes a...

That does include the wife? :ROFLMAO:

I don't know for sure if you will get 100 years out of the shell but Jacuzzi has a great shell that should easily go for more than 20 years. There is a black plastic plug that covers the motor shaft. Pull the plug and see if you can spin the shaft with a straight screwdriver. If it spins, I...

There are people that can certainly rebuild it. If you want one to rebuild it for you, it will probably cost a minimum of a couple thousand and most likely, it will need to be done at their shop, so it add in a cost factor to move it to and from. A new J345 Retails for around $13,500 pre...

Did you purge the tub before use? If the water is really out of whack, buy some Ah-Some, purge the tub then drain and refill. You would be surprised how much Crud is in the pipes after the factory test (the factory uses recycled water). There is still water in the system and biofilm grows in...

You can't expect one manufacturer to call their features the same as another's. How could they pitch their system as superior? OK, Joking aside now. Most have some sort of Foot Blaster, they all work the same way. Personally, I'm not crazy about the Foot Blaster. In my Nevis, it doesn't take...

And my experience with the Artesian Island series is 180 degrees different than A.O.'s. I have a Nevis and it's been absolutely flawless. Every manufacturer sometimes has a lemon. I have a friend with an older CalSpa that can't get a fitting for the heater that's leaking. It's no longer...

Artesian sides are composite, IE plastic. They cut fine. I needed to trim a pair of battens on mine to install my cover lifter. (I wanted my lifter as far to the end as I could get it, that meant cutting a batten on each side) A circular saw makes short work of the composite material. As long as...

I have an Artesian. Good brand with a solid shell. So far, very happy with mine. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on one of those.

Only you can make that decision. However It's really not going to get any better if you just piecemeal the repairs. If you enjoy the tub you have, spend the money and do the repairs right. If you are at a point where you feel putting more money isn't worth it, then it's time to replace it...

A good retailer will certainly stand behind the products it sells however, this one is 7 months old and has significant delaminations in the shell. This is going to be almost impossible to fix right and resell. The manufacturer is going to have to step in here.

It's a Watkins Spa. Those have a 20A and a 30A GFCI set up at the Spa panel.

There is no question that those are manufacturing defects. There is nothing that can be reliably done to fix those. New Spa or refund are the only solutions that will make you whole and of the 2, a refund would be the best resolution. That resolution, as @RDspaguy said, will probably require a...

I filter my tub 4 hours a day. 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours at night, 12 hours apart. I have a circulation pump but the filter cycles do run both pumps intermittently.
