Hi everyone, well I got my first spa bath a Chinese Winer AMC-2210 of uncertain vintage. My son had got it from a friend and he could not get it to work properly - no heat. so instead of taking it to the recycle centre he passed it on to me just before Xmas As the say here "I know from nothing, zeker" meaning I know nothing! On opening the side panels I find that the wiring for the heater has been butchered to get round the problem of the pressure sensor being rusted and busted, then siliconed to seal it. The heater is the original Rooster but I have ordered a replacement 3kW LX as a replacement and should be able to sort out the wiring from there.Because of the busted heater and the low temperatures here -8c I have not put any water in it to test it out so still do not know whether there are any more problems, I will have to clean it out and sanitise it but if anyone has any knowlege of the AMC-2210 - the one with the yellow 15 button topside panel- even if it is just the possible age of it I would be grateful of any info.Thanks, Alistair.
Fix the sensor problem also.

It is difficult to get 1 1/2" fittings here, I will have to find a supplier that has them, I can do a bodge job to fit the new heater using parts from the swimming pool but I would rather get it right first.At least there are no leaks in the pool, all joints and pipes are tight, circulation pump is a bit noisy, as in rattling a bit, so will pull it off once I have drained and cleaned and see what is amiss, either a bearing or the impeller is loose from the sound of it.
Bearings arrived last night (Monday) but didn't have the time to fit them, but they are in now and the motor is purring nicely without the clang and bang it had before. 2 weeks of sub zero weather forecast so the tub stays drained. I have taken the side panels inside and am going to strip the old varnish off then re-coat them, the wife is saying to oil them but I'm not sure on that, whether it is better to varnish or oil them. The wood looks and feels like cedar and is still in quite good condition, just needing to be "spruced" up Any advice on wood finishes?
