Well I finally got my replacement Chelsee set up and running.
My problems continue- not sure what is going on now!
Like with my last one the air value on the right side closest to the control panel is not doing anything. I know that this value only injects air to the footwell and it isn't that powerful but it isn't working on this new one!! The breakdown of my last tub started with this air value.
I also noticed that when I have all the jets on the heater turns off. I have my wiring set up for 60 amps and my last tub did not do this. Is this a problem with the set up of the tub or did my electritian do something?
The main diverter value sounds like a loud sucking noise in certain positions.
When pump one is on its lowest setting the motor is very loud.
I am really not enjoying this whole thing- just too much money to have such problems!!
Is there a known problem with the Chelsee and its air values? How should I proceed?
Thanks for any advise!
Not sure if this will help at all. I would suggest you get your dealer out to be sure everything is operating correctly with the new spa so that everybody has the same understanding.
First the air valve. I am not familiar with the Chelsee and which valves do what, but opening the air venturi valves don't inject. Air is drawn in by the action of the jets. There should be a noticable difference in the jet action with the valve open compared to closed.
If you have both pumps on, are wired by the electrician for 60 amps and the heat won't come on, then the tub needs to be configured to run at 60 amps. It is a simple jumper change and your dealer should do this. The spas come factory set for 50 amps.
Diverters in certain positions can be noisy. It is the amount of water flowing through them that makes the noise. This is not uncommon. I find my diverters, especially pump 2 because it only diverts between two places, is noisiest in the center position.
Pumps one is the only two speed pump and shouldn't be loud on low.
I haven't heard any other issues regarding the air valves but maybe a Sundance dealer can chime in.
