Where is the reset button on a Balboa hot tub heater?
Locate the spa’s high-limit reset. This is a red button found on many spa packs. It may be located on the heater and covered by a rubber nipple.
Is there a reset button on a hot tub?
There are generally two “hard resets” in hot tubs, the GFCI, and the high limit reset. The GFCI pops if there is any type of electrical short (such as water getting into the heating element, the reset on that can be in one of three places.
How do I reset my Balboa circuit board?
Canadian Spa Company Step 1: Turn off the power to the Spa. Step 2: Remove cabinet panel, and covering for the control system. Step 3: Locate the heater’s sensor wires and trace them to where they plug into the circuit board (pictures below). Step 4: Disconnect the sensor wires from the circuit board.
Why won’t my Balboa hot tub heat up?
If your spa heater won’t heat, remove and clean the filter(s) to rule out a pressure or flow rate problem in your hot tub heater. Low water level, a clogged pump impeller, closed valves, clogged pipes, or blocked spa drain covers can also cause flow issues.
How do you troubleshoot a Balboa hot tub?
How to Troubleshoot a Balboa Hot Tub Connect the power plug to an electrical outlet. Make sure there is electricity running to the outlet. Clear out the air tubes running from the pump to the hot tub. Any debris lodged within the tube should be removed with a pipe cleaner. Turn the pump on by pressing the power switch.

How do you test a Balboa Temp sensor?
Testing Spa Temperature Sensors Shut off all power to the spa at the breaker and spa pack. Set your Ohm meter to the 20K setting. Locate the wire ends and remove the plug from the board. Place your meter leads onto the green and red wire. Compare readings to Thermistor Resistance vs. Temperature Chart.
How do you unlock the Balboa control panel?
Spas using Balboa control systems To unlock the panel, while holding down the “Temperature” button (or the “Up” button if you do not have the “Temperature” button), gently press and release the “Light” button twice.
Why is my hot tub control panel not working?

How do you reset hot tub after power outage?
A GFCI is required in all spa installations. It is a micro-circuit breaker, much more sensitive to voltage fluctuations than a normal circuit breaker. If the GFCI has been tripped by a power surge or brownout, just pressing the “RESET” button, if there is one, will turn the circuit, and your hot tub, back on.
How do I know if my hot tub circuit board is bad?
If you DO have 220 volts across both hot wires coming from the house, then next measure the voltage across both heating element pins. You should see 220 volts. If you do not, then the circuit board is faulty and will need to be replaced or sent to us for repair.
How do you bypass a hot tub flow switch?
The easiest way to jump out a spa or pool heater pressure switch is to use a short wire with two alligator clips, or other metal clips on the ends. But you can also do it with just a wire if you have a steady hand to hold each end of the wire into the grooves of each brass screw.
Why is hot tub not heating up?
The problem could be due to a dirty spa filter. Remove the spa cartridge, clean the filters, and check the flow rate or pressure. Other causes could be a broken valve, clogged spa jets or pipes, or a broken pump impeller. You will notice this from an obvious reduced flow into your spa or hot tub.
How do I check the heating element in my hot tub?
You test the element by using an Ohm meter, or any multi-meter will work also. Just place it on Ohms, at 1000, and place your test leads on each of the terminals (power to spa heater should be off). As mentioned above, a measurement of 9-12 Ohms of resistance usually indicates a good element.
