Hi there again, still trying to work out if my heater is needed replacing or not. Have the balboa system here in Sweden without the pressure switch. Has the sensors on either side. Hot tub down to only 17 degrees now, it has become cold minus 7. I don't know if there is some built-in freeze safeguard. I am guessing that the heat maintained is just coming from the pump. I have done some more tests today. There is power 230v going to the circuit board, but not 230v going to the element. I have done the continuity test or ohms test with the power turned off, with a multimeter put it on the 0L setting. It said 0 reading. Then l put it on a setting to bleep, not sure if it was the right setting, still was 0L and then it read 19 ish. Does this sound more like a relay problem or is there a possibility that it might still just need a new heater replacement? I am thinking if I did not have 230v going to the element, then a new one can not suddenly give 230vs or ??? No errors on the display panel either.

Did you find out What was wrong?

[@williamrizzo1285]

Luckily it's 80 degrees this morning or I live in the Florida Keys so the heater doesn't have to work too hard.

If the hot tub is not heating at all, FIRST try to reset the electronics of the hot tub by turning off the power supply (including the breaker switches), waiting a minute, then turning the power and breaker switches back on). Then check to see if the hot tub heats up.

Is there a way of diagnosing the issue?

[@ericlysaker7362]

Easy install works great

Thank you for the useful info and I have found your PDF book very useful. I have a question on resetting a TCO Switch in my Dimensions one Hot Tub. I have no hot water flowing out of my spa. Water is flowing out of the Ozone area.

[@Theundisputedtruth]

Does the filter area have anytbing to do with it heating

[@SwimUniversity]

It can, if it's blocked and water isn't flowing. That can cause your heater to run dry or overheat.

So I can’t find any videos that would help me with my heating issue. My jacuzzi panel only lets me increment the temp via the up/down arrows to 90 degrees. Its holds the temp no problem, but the display panel does not increase beyond 90 degrees. It used to adjust and heat up to 104 degrees. Any ideas on this one?

[@catherinemcintosh1437]

Question: hot tub had no heat and heating element and wires replaced. It worked but then/now only holds temperature at 87 degrees for 2 weeks. I’ve been told now that it needs a new BP spa pack (current one was replaced 2 1/2 years ago). This sounds wrong to me. Comments?

[@shawntoadvine5220]

Thank you for the video. So, I replaced the balboa heater element, and the hot tub still isn't heating. Is it safe to say that I need to replace my pump now?

[@VarenYoutube]

Yes! The pump can get clogged causing heat not to come through

[@bufferzone3247]

Does the water have to be drained before the replacement?

[@24indianapoliscolts]

Check the 2" water lines. You may see a gate, looks like a handle sticking up near a connection of two pipes. If you have them, turn off power, remove safety clip, push handle down and turn. Usually you can do work with only a little water lost, put a towel down. Hope that helps.

[@bufferzone3247]

@@24indianapoliscolts thank you. Things worked out great. And no leaks.

[@stevemclean5787]

What is regular heater maintenance?

[@JHVT44]

I assume he’s talking about maintaining the water chemistry. He follows that comment discussing it and that’s the only thing I can think of.

[@kristygorseth3109]

My hot tub heats up and pops a circuit is that the heating element

[@NanaandMaddy]

Yes

[@donnaflores8745]

My hot tub keeps showing eo2 I've checked the line with the bubbles and that seems clear but as soon as I add the heat icon it shuts itself off I don't know what to do please help

[@skal65535]

really? all this video is about: 1) disconnect heater 2) replace the heater with a new one 3) reconnect heater ??? geee...

[@Theundisputedtruth]

😂 rite TV repair men lol no solid answers lol

[@debbienelson5879]

My Saluspa heated up to 38C (100F), but will not go any higher. Have rebooted it, but no difference

[@gregkilleen5678]

Sure this is the wrong video but if the blower is bad would it cause the panel to not work?

[@awoonga56]

I've got a Chinese control panel Ethink KL8-3A, everything works fine except the temp is set for 98 degrees but will only heat to 89 degrees then starts cooling down and heater will not kick in again, I have to turn it off until temp drops below 77 degrees then heater will work again any clues. Have checked water flow, filter, air locks, thermostat etc...... all good.

[@ikpalian4413]

My jacuzzi not heating and the heat led light is blinking

[@Theundisputedtruth]

Did u get it fixed bro , I see this guy is no help

[@inlightenedbeing]

Just got it .. it heated up then nothing

[@Theundisputedtruth]

Sounds like hot tub men are like mechanics and TV repairs can't get a solid answer on nothing. Good luck to those who can't get a good answer and have to watch 309 videos like me
