How can I tell if my hot tub circuit board is bad?
A good indicator that your circuit board may be bad is if you are not receiving power to an important piece of equipment such as the pump, blower, heater, etc. Checking voltage on the board will allow you to determine whether this is where you are losing power.
What to do if your Spa circuit board is not working?
When your hot tub or spa is not working like it should, the circuit board is one of the first things to check. If it turns out it is working fine, then you can move on to other systems in your hot tub. The first thing to do, just like with your old personal computer, is to turn off the spa and turn it back on.
What should I do if my spa heater is not working?
If bypassing the pressure switch/flow switch allowed the heater to come on, then put the wires back on the switch. Run the spa without the filter, if doing this allows the heater to work then you’ve solved the problem (Replace the Filter ).
Where is the controller on a spa heater?
First, cut off the power to the spa, then open up the Spa Controller, usually located under the spa, above the heater. You should be able to find the screws that allow you to remove or open the control box cover, to access the circuit board. When you first see it, it’s a confusing array of resistors, relays, capacitors and wires.

What should I do if my hot tub heater is not working?
Before proceeding make absolutely sure that the pump which circulates water through the heater is passing water through the heater and also make sure you see water movement in the spa! If you don’t confirm water is moving in the hot tub and through the heater do not proceed with the next step as in doing so may burn out the heating element.
