I have a hot springs limelight with salt system and it’s brand new. It’s now telling me there’s a salt inactive no circulation error and the blue light is off and a yellow light is flashing. I dont know what that means or what I need to do.
@@johnny.twister honestly it was user error more than anything. Not sure what exactly but I think when they installed it they added to much salt. I just emptied it 1/4 out and put fresh water in, cleaned all my filters and took the salt cartridge out and cleaned it with fresh water and put it back in. Then I went to the main breaker box and powered the entire house down for about a min. Worked fine after that.
This is going to sound silly, but where on earth are we supposed to put the Neutral wire on the new motherboard? I've been looking at the diagram, and it shows that Red goes to #2, and Black goes to #3, but it does not show anything in #1 or #4... TERRIBLE documentation... electrical diagram doesn't mention neutral at all. THANK YOU in advance for your help!!!
Nevermind... I'm sorry... three wire insulation means there are only two hots and a ground!! :) Didn't realize this... Thank you for such awesome videos!! YOU are the reason I purchased my hot tub!! You guys rock!!!
Good afternoon, the gfci is in the software of the hot tub itself so it doesn't require a neutral. However, code is going to tell you to run a neutral so best thing to do is cap it off on both sides so it doesn't create an issue. Furthermore, you do still need a gfci breaker per code and I know what you're thinking why do I need a gfci if I don't have a neutral? What we think doesn't matter as we have to follow the codes. Hope this helps!
Hi thanks my name is Pete for all the info you give on your U tube channel. I live in Florida Stuart Fl, I do use Salt in my water which may account for the hardness in my water. I am trying to get it balanced the best i can. Any suggestions would be Great. I am a subscriber to your channel
Good afternoon, my suggestion would be start with the basics. Balance the pH, then chlorine. Remember, that salt is sodium chloride and turns into chlorine so you should maintain at least a 2-3 parts per million of chlorine. Until you do this you really don't have a true reading of the rest of the test strip. My biggest suggestion is get into a habit of maintaining your hot tub every week same day, same time. This is one of the biggest issues I see with water chemistry. Let me know when you get to this point and I will help you find your weekly regiment but this is where we need to start. Hope this helps!
Good afternoon, I order all my acrylic repair items from this website below. That's mainly what they specialize in. Hope this helps! multitechproducts.com/
This is such an amazing idea. We bought a cameo 880 last year. I think you commented to someone else is this is only on the 2024s right now. I would love to know when it would be available for prior year 880s and what kind of cost. We live in AZ and were using the cameo 4 times a week or more then summer happened and it's just so hot here, it's hard to want to be out there.
Good afternoon, my guess is it won't be very long but it won't integrate with the topside control. You'll have to controller it from the chiller itself and unplug the heater. This is no big deal but worth notating. The cost for service and the unit will most likely will be around $2500. In my opinion, it's well worth it. Hope this helps!
I’m tried that in my new jacuzzi, but the control panel the alarm appears, LCDF…BLINKING-..the pump don’t turn on and the control the vendor say me is a Balboa😢. I can’t see the light in this tunnels 😢😢😢
Good afternoon, have you tried a J68 reset? Have you tried just turning the hot tub off for 30 seconds and turning it back on? If so, can you provide me your serial number? Hope this helps!
@@josephgraham1065 Good evening, unfortunately it only works on the 2024 880’s and newer. However, I believe there will be an aftermarket option in the future that will work. Hope this helps!
Nice! Where can we find how to link it to the hot tub ? It nice to have this direct integration. Does it work only with clim8 or other brands as well ? Thanks from 🇨🇭
@@valentindproductions Good evening, it’s specific to certain balboa electronics. You could upgrade your electronics and it would work but it would be costly. I will launch a video on the plumbing soon. Hope this helps!
@@atlantahottubcenter oh yeah! It will be definitely helpful. Once we receive our spa around late summer, our plan is to install the heat pump on the opposite side of the front panel, so the heat pump lays under the opened cover. But as of today it is still a mystery to us to know whether we’ll have enough space to go through the entire spa with the plumbing. More efficient and more esthetic if doable And we were planning the buy a Poolex hp but after seeing your video explaining that 880 (Marin) are balboa inside, I’m rethinking twice.
@@valentindproductions Good afternoon, I'll put it in the link when I launch the plumbing video. You can always call me to if you need some guidance. However, I would use this chiller that integrates with it. Otherwise, you can have issues between the hot tub heating and the chiller. You can just unplug the heater but the integration does make it easier. Hope this helps!
I have a 880 Marin and the status light on the outside is out. Will the reset maybe fix that? There are no error codes and the hot tub is running normal but I light that light to tell me everything is ok
And if we wait for 30 seconds, and doesn’t work and our computer computer just says initializing for hours and hours and nothing happens then what do we do?
@@savannahmahoney1477 Good evening, sounds like a bad topside control panel. That’s where I would start. If that doesn’t fix it then you most likely will need to replace the circuit board. Hope this helps!
My 4" concrete pad was 2" off level so before my tub was delivered I found a product called The Spa Level-R online. They custom built a platform for my tub which leveled it perfectly. There are like feet, or glides built into it which you just adjust and level. Bonus was it raises it off the ground as well, preventing any rot to my skirting. Only downside is it took 10 days to get but well worth the wait considering it was a perfect match to the size of my hot tub.
Hi, i’m getting the HFL and LF code, sometimes dry code as well. I cleaned it and refilled it, fired it back up and all was normal. Turned the temperature down significantly cause i went away on holidays. Now i’m getting the codes described above. Already removed filters, refilled spa through the filter holes with a hose, opened the connections to the pumps in case it could’ve been an airlock but with no succes, i keep getting those errors. All the normal jets work except for the ones that have hot water output into the spa. The heater works as well since if i use my submersible pump with the output in the filter hole i can feel hot water coming through the hot water output jets and the error codes don’t come up again. Any idea what the problem could be?
@@mas5517 Good evening, HFL - Substantial difference between temperature sensors detected and could also be a flow problem such as airlock LF - Low Flow (Displays on the 5th occurrence of HFL message with 24 hours) Heater is shut down Simply put I think you have airlock and you'll need to bleed the air out of your circulation pump or 2 speed motor that controls the heat. Please see link below
I had a Sundance Altamar from 2001 to 2021. Never winterizing it of course because it is during the cold months that i like it much. But now that Altamar is death, my wife wants a Swim spa. Is the same logic (not to winterizing ) equally apply to a Swim Spa ? PS (sorry for my bad english, i am a frenchman)
Good afternoon, I wouldn't winterize a swim spa or hot tub because you really can't get all the water out of them. They're designed to continue to run all the time 24/7 and the better units are very energy efficient. When you shut them down for long periods of time they tend to have service issues as well. Hope this helps!
@@atlantahottubcenter Thank you very much to have taken the time to respond. Your site and videos capsules are very well done and honest. I learned so much, you sold me to Hydropool with thoses ! Éric from Québec, Montréal, Canada
Good afternoon, yes you need a concrete slab for a swim spa and it's specific for support reasons. I would contact your dealer for the pre-delivery instructions from the manufacturer. This is a very important steps. Hope this helps!
@@atlantahottubcenter Thank you very much to have taken the time to respond. Your site and videos capsules are very well done and honest. I learned so much, you sold me to Hydropool with thoses !
Good afternoon, depending on outside temperatures but usually yes you can because swim spas are a large body of water like a pool and it takes a fair amount of heat from the sun to heat it. They also have settings to try and keep them cooler like economy mode. Furthermore, some brands even sell chillers/heat pumps you can attach such as Hydropool to cool it. Hope this helps!

Good afternoon, Bullfrog makes a good product in my opinion. I am not a big jet pack guy as I just don't see the value in them. I think you would be very happy with a Bullfrog hot tub. Hope this helps!
@@atlantahottubcenter Thankyou for the reply what brand and model hot tub would you recommend I would like to fit 8 adults in it with no lounges if possible Thank you Dan
@@danfarge7447 Good evening, Bullfrog M8 Hotspring Prism Sundance Aspen Jacuzzi J495 I think all of these models are contenders. I would visit a few showrooms and pick a quality dealer. However, some of these do have lounges. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for showing me how easy it is to change the blub. When I was reading the manual I thought it was so complicated and it isn't!!! Big thanks from California!!!!
Good afternoon, depends what brand we're talking about. If we're talking about a Sundance then you'll need a new flow switch or pressure switch. Hope this helps!
Hi Brian, very informative information. I’m debating whether to buy 2021 new aqua trainer 14’ vs tidal fit ep14. Do you know if tidal fit is self supporting shell?
Good afternoon, the tidal fit isn't a self supporting shell from what I know and see unless they've changed something in the last year. Hope this helps!
Good afternoon, yes they're very decent. However, swim spas are really pools as you really can't exercise in 100 degree water. I like to mention this because a lot of people are thinking the swim spa is a hot tub and it's really not. Hope this helps!
@@lbl9066 Good afternoon, I agree and those temperatures are pretty easy to maintain due to the size of the body of water. Really, swim spas are pools and more comparable to a pool opposed to a hot tub. Hope this helps!
Good afternoon, this model is somewhat compared to the 13ffp by Hydropool so really it's not a sport or a trainer. This model is good for lite swimming, exercising, and a good all around small pool. This is the entry for Hydropool and there's nothing wrong with that. Hope this helps!
We followed the proper refill method by putting the hose in where the filter would normally sit. First time refill. We used our hot tub all week no problems. Today, it’s not working. The 2024 Envoy. Only two chairs will come on. When we tap jet one…nothing. First time owner of a hot tub, so we will be calling our dealer for service asap tomorrow. Hope it’s nothing serious. Our levels have been almost perfect sense we refilled it. So surprised when we got in tonight and it’s not working right.
Good afternoon, it may just need the software flashed but being it's so new it should come at no cost to you. I apologize you're having some issues so early on. Hope this helps!
Maax Spas owns Master Spas? I haven't seen that info anywhere else. I thought Master Spas was a privately owned company. On the Maax website, they only list Vita and American Whirlpool as their brands.
Brian, as I understand it I cant really buy a tub from you in Texas.....wondering if you can shine any light on whether an Aspen is worth the 10,000 price difference from the Chelsee? We have the Chelsea on hold, but the Aspen in the showroom is calling my name, but it is about $25K with all the extras (minus the sound system) and better financing.
Good afternoon, tough question! This comes down to what you value. The 880 series does have quite a few more features than the 780 series. The 780 series does have all the Sundance patents and everything they're known for. However, I love the 880s but it's a personal opinion. They're all well built spas and I think you would be happy with either. In your case you might make the decision on whether or not you need the extra space because the Aspen is significantly bigger. Hope this helps!
The value of the jet packs is not in their ability to be changed for each use! The value is in your initial set up. You can choose exactly how you want your hot tub to be configured.
Good afternoon, I would first start by moving the diverter valves to make sure it's not a setting problem. The diverter valves are the larger valves that move water from one side of the hot tub to the other. If this doesn't fix it then you really need a service technician. The technician should test the power coming off of the board to the motor that isn't working. If it has the correct power and it's not working then the motor/pump needs to be replaced. Please make sure it's not airlock. If the motor is half working and then shutting off, you could have airlock. If this is the case please let me know but this would only normally happen after a fresh fill or if the hot tub ran low on water. Hope this helps!
Hi from Italy, my Balboa TP600 is not responding at all, i switch the power off, waited 30 seconds and back on, after 5 minutes it starts to blow but the controller is still off. How can i fix it?
Good afternoon, sounds like your lcd display is out to me. I think you will need to replace the topside control to fix it. The board is possible but not probable if the hot tub is coming on and working without the display. Hope this helps!
I want a Swim spa to set it on coldest setting for 3 seasons of the year for cold plunge and exercise after sauna but for spa hydrotherapy in the winter.
Good afternoon, you're looking for the best of both worlds! I would suggest the Hydropool DTAX dual temperature because it's a hot tub and pool in one. Hope this helps!
Good evening, there's a dip switch bank toward the bottom of the board. The bank is red and white and has little white plastic switches you can flip up and down. Hope this helps!
Thanks Hot Tub Brian. You have all the answers to all my questions. I have a Sundance Peyton and I have Ready and Rest and am going to change it to Rest and vent it 8" like lowcuuntrygrits stated. Thanks again for maintaining this channel.
Do you think either of these products will remove sticky neoprene from deteriorating headrest? I think I have some in the pipes. Regarding master spa clarity precision 8 about 2 years old.
Good evening, I would suggest Goo Gone but I wouldn’t do it until you drain and clean it. Goo Gone can make a mess in regards to your water quality. Hope this helps!
