New to Hot tubs, need some help getting it started
« on: May 27, 2015, 08:04:12 pm »
I received a hot tub for free. Finally  got around to installing the electrical and putting it in place. I connected the power, flipped the breaker, and I heard 2 clicks, but nothing happened. No light, no panel messages, no pumps, nothing. Now, I have not put any water in yet. Yes, I know the pumps can burn out, just wanted to see if it was going to turn on, then I was going to kill power right away. now, could the lack of water, cause the nothing happening?? Safety switch???? Or is my control board most likely DOA. Please, no flames here, I am new and just looking for some help. The spa is in beautiful condition, and I don't want to start all over. Oh Yea, I know its a balboa spa, but I don't have any manual for it. Thanks for all the help in advance.

Balboa makes electrical controllers.
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals
