Retrofit resurrection hot springs tub

[Dougstermd]

Hot tub born around 2000. Definitely needs  heater thinking heater / new controls it has the low flow heater pump. Apears it could accept a flow through heater?  Has pump. Blower and ozonater, and low flow pump. Best retrofit kit?

Umm...  So it needs everything?  That sucks!

If it's a 2000, you can still get everything you would ever need.  You wouldn't want a flowthru heater, get the OEM heater.

Hot Springs never used blowers, so I am not sure what you are talking about there.

It looks an awful lot like a blower to me. I don’t think I need to replace any of the pumps I plan to hook it up with a heater bypass hose to test the pumps. Then order a new heater. I was just curious about the retrofit controllers heater packs.

Look inside the equipment area for the alpha-numeric serial number. Post it here and someone can probably tell you specifically what you have if its a common spa maker.

You are correct sir I saw the corrugated hose from the second pump and made an assumption. My bad. Again thanks for your input.

Wife is ragging me because her friend sold the 110volt plug and play tub for $800.

I believe this will be a way hot tub when I’m finished with it for about $1k but all she sees is a tub that ain’t positioned. I think I can resurrect this thing and make it my oasis. Heater new cover with assisted lift. Once I assure all pumps are working I’m going to order a heater and make this tub submissive

Ok good news I have the power hooked up. I could hear some sounds coming from the unit. Bad news buttons on the topside control panel are a little crusty feeling. The led window is a little hazy... planning to order the heater on Friday. Looking for recommendations on distributors/ parts places please advise? As much as I would like to use a local shop I know they are just going to order on line and pass the mark up on to me.

Welcome to my world (But in this case I am the wife who brought home a "Free" hot tub. Note: there are no free hot tubs

We are currently resurrecting a 2000 Palermo. Good times. We are quite familiar with the parts supplier and husband is super handy so that helps lots. Like you we may end up with some $$$ in it but at this point we are COMMITTED and feel like it will be worth it. Probably. Eventually.

Otherwise, are hot tubs flammable? Asking for a friend ...
