    Heat stalls at 95?? Noob

    Another update: Replaced the actuator. Turns out the valve problems were related to a clog after the filter, which was fixed, too. All is well now. Thanks all for your help. D911

    Heat stalls at 95?? Noob

    PC - I'm guessing the spa is "raised". The spa sits above both the pump station and the pool. Are you thinking that the second pump (with Valve #7) is to push that water to the raised spa?? UPDATE: Manually adjusted valve #5 again. Turned on the Spa -which filled with water from the pool. All...

    Heat stalls at 95?? Noob

    How prophetic. I went to manually adjust the valve (#6) to heat up the cajuzzi for later tonight. This is the same routine I'd been doing for a few days. 15 minutes later, I looked out the window and the jacuzzi level was down 12 inches or so. I quickly shut down the system, by-passing the...

    Are you sure about this?? The actuators have a big "OFF" opposite the handles, so it looks to me as though valve controller #5 (return to body of water) is set to "pool" and NOT "spa". Thank you for your thoughts. Dave911

    OK. I think I see your point. Perhaps #6 valve spits suction between pool and spa, and #5 splits the return flow between pool and spa??

    Unfortunately, I really don't know what I have. I'm trying to figure out, but not that easy for me. I am pretty good with pics and photoshop though, so here are numbered pics of the system. Does this help?? THanks for any help you can offer! Dave911

    Ok. Removed the actuator on the pool / spa suction valve and rotated the valve 90 degrees clockwise to get the csjuzzi heated up. Immediately the water level started to drop, so I spun the valve back toward the original position - settling on about 15 degrees. I marked the original pool...

    The saga continues... I tried the "service mode" route with no luck, so then we had the home warranty fix-it guy come out. He told me the valves were not set properly, and that cold pool water was being sent back to the tub along with hot water from the minimax. When he adjusted the valve, the...

    Right. The heater has dials, not a display. I really need to figure out if its the heater or the controller - I think. Perplexing

    New-to-me home. Slow down the waterfall from spa to pool?

    Re: New-to-me home. Slow down the waterfall from spa to pool Thank u Blizzle. There seems to be an electric switch on the back off the nozzle. Triggering the switch down doesn't seem to move the valve? Is there a secret to the trigger? Do I need to have the pump off or something? Or perhaps...
