    Jacuzzi J315 control board issues

    So I have a J315 Jacuzzi brand hot tub. A few years ago the display/controls started freaking out, flashing digits and such which I ignored and then the heater failed-just wouldn't heat. Eventually had the local pool store come out and they replaced the control board which fixed everything...

    IMPower

    Anyone used one yet or is this brand new? Seems to have a lot of the power saving advantages of the Intelliflow and a huge price savings. Now you don't get the fancy flow monitoring/constant flow but you also save a lot of money. Thoughts? How much power savings with the permanent magnet...
