Welcome to our forum.
I have a customer who has a Balboa Value 3 Control in a Great Lakes Spa. Just like mine actualy, its 5-6 years old. It is programmed to cycle twice a day for 2 hours but........it seems to start a cycle (the air blower cycles for 30 seconds at the beginning of every cycle) and run for about 20 minutes-1/2 hour, and then reset itself and start over, flash through a sequence of incoherant numbers and then run to completion. When it does this it also sets the temp back to 100 which is the default on these controls. Anybody seen this before or know of an erasure trick on the control board or something? Give me some magic guys.
Another possibility is that the factory programming (firmware) is no longer the correct programming, possibly due to a defective component (chip).On the other hand...some component on the circuit board could have developed a thermal problem (sensitive to heat) causing it to go intermittently faulty.....just some possibilities

I have disconnected the O3 generator and it still has a problem.
Check for low voltage. Since tubs draw high amperage loads, they can heat up a connection in some distant place - and that drops the voltage just enough to give a digital board fits.It may have good voltage until the heater kicks in, or even until the heater has been on for a few minutes. Check connections back at the circuit breaker.
