I need help identifying my hot tub

[Shimdon]

I got one for free from the mother-in-law and I need help identifying what it is. They piped it for natural gas, but I want to revert it back to electric and need some help with all of that. Here are some pictures. Let me know what other info you need

Looks to me like the answer is in that second picture. I would guess:

Manufacturer: American Spas
Model: HT100-15
Serial #: 940621-154

That's just my best guess, not a confirmed fact, but Googled American Spas and came up with this support page for American Spas, where you could probably follow up for confirmation and/or help if it's one of theirs:  http://www.american-spa.com/ContactUs.aspx

Good luck

I've already done that. It was built before April 2010, so it's not the same company

I just want to wire it up and probably get a new heating element. I need to know which one to get though. Will this one work?

  Yes that one should work.  There are 2 other sensors to the right of the heater leads.  One is probably a temp and the other is high limit.    Also you might as well change that pressure switch as well.  They are cheap and it would be a pain to put it all back together and find you need a new one.  It's funky looking thing with 2 wires to the left.

Yes, just use a few wraps of Teflon tape, before threading it in. Do not over tighten. 

    When you change the element, you have to very careful when tightening it and use 2 wrenches.  One below the main nut and one for the main nut.  I think one is 3/8ths and the other 1/4" been awhile since I have done it, but the goal is not to twist the leads that the wires go to on the heater.

Cool, thanks. I don't know the last time they ran it. Like I said, they used natural gas instead of electricity. Should those two things get it to good running order? How/when will I know if the pumps are shot? And which ones to get in case?

This is most likely an American Spa that was made in Woodburn, Oregon. I believe they have been out of business since 2000-2001. Rumored to be shut down by the IRS.

In a perfect world, yes it should work.

    The pumps will either work or not, or they will be louder than a Metallica concert and you will need to swap them out.  You have a lot of variables working against you to just say sure it will work. And were taking about a hot tub that's been sitting for how long?    Where did you score the equipment pack and how old was it?

It all came with it. They even gave me the gas heater if I wanted to use it too. I just wanted to get it out of there and home haha

I've got everything to wire it up and then I'll test it
