Hi, my first post.
I purchased a house and it has an existing spa.
It appears that the pump and heater side of it is somewhat home made.
The pump looks like a pool type pump but it does function rather well.
The heater is an electric and separate gas system. It is plumbed in series on what I can describe as a by pass line.
The gas system looks like a house hot water service (Bosch 16B).
My issue is that the heating side works very poorly, the electric heater works but I suspect it is not effective on its own.
The gas unit is electric start using it's own battery pack. I have replaced the batteries and it does spark when the pump is turned on, but the gas does not light. I wonder if the unit is not suitable for the function or if the unit is faulty.
I apologise for my description if it is confusing, maybe pics can help.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
