2 speed 240v pump, Balboa control pack Hi. Inherited this spa from Aunt; has been working fine for 18 mos (after I finally figured out that the motor speeds had been wired backwards). So today, I go to heat it up and change into "St" Standard mode. The main pump cuts on for a few seconds...

Water level is full, water flow is good at least during purges - I even removed the cartridge filter to make sure. Will check for air leaks when checking the power leads.

Inherited spa worked flawlessly for 7 months until just 2 days ago. Last night during what should have been a filtration cycle in Economy mode, heard those periodic purge cycles every 30-45 seconds for 10 minutes before I shut off power. This am, restore power, the pack goes into prime mode...

Chem Geek, Oops. Sorry for the brain lapse typo -- it's corrected. I really do read your commentary quite closely and appreciate its exactness (where possible). It's just sinking in -- unlike chlorine, I don't have to constantly add bromine, it just needs to start with the bank and at some...

Nonsense! I have garnered way more knowledge from this excellent site than I can ever repay. Thanks again!

Problem resolved -- turns out that when the replacement board was installed, the 2-speed motor was wired backwards with hi-speed and low-speed reversed. This caused the high-speed to run whenever the low-speed was supposed to be on, and this caused the water to continue to heat even *without*...

Hi. I have a 5 yr old H400 ED2 with electronic ignition. I live in Arizona, so I use it year round. It generally has been issue-free and works great. Currently though, I have an intermittent SF issue that's been popping up. If it happens, it tends to happen when I attempt to turn it on. I...
