*Hot Springs Spa Not Heating* How To Change Heater Relay Board in Hot Spring & Tiger River Spas
มุมมอง 11K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Almost 9 times out of 10 if your spa isn’t heating it will actually be unrelated to the heater all together. This is a video on how simple it is to change out a Hot Springs heater Relay-board on all IQ2020 control packs. They used these system from roughly 2000-2009 the Replacement board can be found online for around $150
I use a little torch from 711 instead of worrying about carrying a heat gun and trying to find a source of power for it. You have to be a little careful but it works fine. Better in tight spaces than the heat gun too. Definitely good to heat them up when the barb underneath is plastic. I have had them break off. I just replaced a heater somebody broke the 3/4 barb off of the back. I think you can replace the manifold on the hot springs ones. This was a jacuzzi so it was broken. The heater had no ohms anyway and it’s kind of tricky to replace if you don’t know what you are doing. You pretty much have to pry that hose off w a flat blade or it’s not going to come off. Even if you heat it up. If you heat it and use the flat blade wiggle trick after you twist it and break it free it comes off in about a minute. For sensor wires I use uy telecom connectors. You don’t have to strip the wires and the connection is waterproof. Great for lights too. I just spliced a topside that a rat chewed w them. It had a connector like a cat 5 cable on an old bullfrog and it worked fine. They needed a pump too though so the fun never ends
My hot tub has a blinking red light. It tries to start when I turn on the breakers soon after I hear a click (relay) but then it shuts down. Seems like the small e5 style circ pump isn’t working, it’s hot and won’t move any water. Can this cause the tub to shut down immediately and is there a work around that puts the main jets in low mode to circulate the water without the e5 circ pump? I’ve done that on another brand tub but idk if changing any of jumpers 1-12 can remove the e5 and allow the big jets to do the circulating in a pinch.
Do you know how to change the led lights inside this or where to order them? Half of mine have turned red or off
What's the model number, please?
Hey how do the filters go in Tia
i have the 2004 prodigy. and i just changed the heater circuit board because it wasn't heating up. now it gets warm but the jets don't work, and every time i press the jet button, the D17 red light comes on. would u happen to know why the d17 light comes on when i press the jet or jet clean button???????? i have called 4 electricians to come take a look but no body knows what they are doing 😔
Can you tell me what year model this is
You mention both a red and green flashing light. Did I get that right or is it just the green light. I currently have a green flashing light after replacing the two red washers on the end cap of the heater. My circle pump seems to be doing its job, but after inspecting the heater it is obvious that it is not heating up. I am just wondering before hacking the switch, is there a way to make Sur ethat it is the flow switch and not a complete failure of the heater. thanks
where can i get the pillow set?
Where are you located? How can I contact you?
I would like to purchase this hot tub
How to turn off summer mode? Tub not heating
Hi I’ve just purchased a Coleman spa by maax second hand of Facebook UK do you have any idea where I find the exact model number please x
Hello, I tried this, install the bypass pressure switch, and connected it all back together. Now the red light is no longer blinking but my green light is not on at all and the spa is still not heating any suggestions?
No. I’m sorry this is all wrong. You’re deleting the Ozone, the Mazzi, and creating so much more work for yourself. Just replace the original part. It cost the same if not less than the flow sensor, and you wouldn’t have to remove the lower control, the ozone, the mazzi, splice the wire, heat the flex pvc, glue the new flex. The fail rate on those flow sensors are just as bad, they are no better than the hot springs thermistor.
is this a store?
How would I figure out the flow switch needed for a Vanguard spa (2013)? I don't see anything online that specifies which switches to use for which spas.
May be a universal solution. This was suggested for my Hot Springs. The difference may just be the plugin. Save old one. You may need the plug to cut and wire in. This does one thing electrically; open or close.
I have a similar Tiger River Spa. Everything works except the heat. However, If I run it for a long time (multiple times a day on jets) eventually the water will get warm. What could be the problem? (All I have done was replaced the filter so far)
Where can I get that aftermarket pressure switch?
I need a control board
hi i am from Cyprus from where i can find the control panel like this on the video
I have mine installed but unfortunately the piece is fluttering but not making contact with the pole thing. Not sure how to correct that.
Um, why didn't he do all that before he installed the first end? He has the piece to measure against? I'd advice don't use the heat gun inside the cabinet.
Saved me a lot of money. Thank you
What year is this spa ? I purchased it a while back but cant find the jbl speakers that fit
What year is this ? Its same model i bought yo get parta ?
Congratulations on your channel, I am a fan of your videos, you are a professional and excellent instructor. I have a HotSpring Jetseeter. When I turn on the jets I hear repeated clicks on the relays. I left the jets on for about 5 to 10 minutes and they stopped working, I checked the voltage (120v) and it was fine, the next step I did was unplug the pump and check if it was working and really if it is ok... I wonder if this is a problem with the relay board or the main board 🤷🏻♂️.... I hope for your help
Ever diagnose the problem and fix it ?
Not yet
Is there a video of that particular tub to go from 110 to 220?
13:02 hey I have a leaking hot springs puls 2012 heater w salt water corrosion. Best to replace or repair ?
You can always fix it cheaper than a new one. Where are you at w salt corrosion? I deal w it all the time working in Santa Cruz. Everything within like 2 miles of the ocean has salt issues

Hi
How do u convert from plug and play to 230
I tried using the aftermarket flow switch, only to learn the switch was defective and did not solve the problem. I spoke with a technician at Spa Depot in Olympia, WA and learned that all you really need to do is cut the wire from the pressure switch on the Watkins heater and splice the wires together from the Molex connector mounted on the mother board. This activates flow and allows the heater to operate properly. The flow switch in not needed. My hot tub heater is now working and regulating as it should.
You are right on sir. After writing my initial comment I researched the heater mfg website. The flow switch is an integral part of the heater, requiring full heater replacement to solve the flow switch problem. At a cost of $238 for the heater + switch combo from the OEM Watkins, it is a poor design. So I jumpered it out temporarily until I could find the flow switch mentioned in this utube. It sounded like “Waterloo”? But of more interest Watkins sells the heater + switch replacement unit mentioned above as a kit that includes a pre manufactured jumper wire to remove the switch from the circuit. I hesitated to make my jumper a permanent solution vs temporary. Know anything about the Waterloo part?
I did exactly this, fitting the flow switch and the repair worked. Thank you for the video. Saved me some cash.
I have one like this and all indicator lights seem to work on cotrol panel and on the board but jets don't come on? Any ideas
Hi Hot tube cowboy, I have a water leakage on the opposite side from the endcap. Who could provide me with an solution? There was a frost damage on the endcap and I‘m afraid that the opposite side has also suffered. Thank you!
I used jbweld MarineWeld to fix the same problem. I did have to use a bunch. Ugly but 1 year in and holding.
Can you tell me how to change element. I have this one from 2002. And now not heating everything is working just like you just described but water not getting hot or no green light. Red light is solid jets works I see the ripples in water
I seems strange that the first thing you noted was the lights....
I cannot find one video showing how to open up the front accessible door covers. Can you please explain to me how to remove the front covers so I could get into electrical components please?
@Hot Tub Cowboy - I have an old Watkins tub I'm trying to get running and the board is fried. Can I replace it with a 3rd party or some sort of aftermarket control board? Finding an IQ 2020 to replace it has been rough.
13:10 This fixed worked! Thank you ….
where can i buy the aftermarket pressure switch
Anyone know why the Jets and Clean function won’t come on after changing the Neat Relay Board? Was working prior to the change. So odd.
I can’t even figure out the head rests!!! Lord help me 😮
Yeah but how do l know if it's the pressure switch?
Good video, I will probably do it just to be safe. However, what's the issue with just jumpering the pressure switch wires?
Hey there. I found a used Capri and was trying to get a year model. This looks exactly like the one I’m interested in. What year is this. It also has an error code SN3. How difficult is it to replace the temp sensor. Thanks
Hey what year is this? 2017? Also, if so or even not, what would the price tag on this one? I buy and sell hot tubs also
This is a great video. I own a 2016 Hot Spring Grandee NXT and I keep getting a flashing blue light on the outside panel. I also have the Connextion wireless app that provides me info when something goes wrong with the system. I can also control the hot tub remotely with the app. The problem I am having for some time now that that the error message reads “Circulation is low, clean filters”. Filters are brand new and have been cleaned. I will also get “System interlock on” . I shut down the breakers, wait, then reset breakers. All is good for a few hours. Then I will get the flashing blue light and a Message, “System anterlock on”. The heater works fine after I reset the breaker. I had a tech come out and he bypassed the pressure switch with a jumper, that seem to work for a week. Then started happening again. Tech cam back out and said it’s the computer board, I told him prove it to me. I’m an engineer and understand the principles of this system. He then thought about it and proceeded to disconnect the hose from the circulation pump and the T valve that you removed in your video to let water come out and see if it was clogged in there. He put the hoses back on and starts the system back up. We saw particles come up and through the bottom of the circulation/ozone bubbler vent. Flow appeared to be better. He said this should work now. After he left 2 hours later, I’m back to flashing blue on my panel and the tub is locked out. This issue happens when the tub is not in use and in standard circulation mode. What could be the issue. I do not like throwing money after parts to see if this is the issue. Any help would greatly appreciated and I can do this work myself as I have the tools and aptitude for any repair thrown at me. Been doing it my whole life and owned a 1994 Sundance Royale for 20 years prior to my new 2016 Hot Spring tub. Thanks
@HotTubCowboy my red and green light comes on only when I run the jets the heat is working fine, and the pump is moving water. Great I have had to bleed air out of the pump line in the past to get the bubble out and that usually solve the issue however, this time it seems to continue. Please help if you can. Also, does anybody have the link to the aftermarket part?
I just bought a used hot tub. The jets aren’t working, any recommendations on how to figure out why?
