Re: please help hot tub fire
In Response To: Re: please help hot tub fire ()

dont think it got wet. Sorry not to clever on computers so ent got a clue on getting pics on here.Try and get my mate to do it later. Think it was a transformer that melted every thing as very little damage to circuit board. But as bits missing i dont know what did melt things, As control panel was plastic this did i think catch alight as about 2 sq feet of foam burnt above it and burnt holes through top of panel. I belive the reason is that it had a 6 amp time delay fuse in it rather than a 3 amp as specified on holder. I have filled with water today and hard wired all 3 pumps plus heater and ran them all up in turn to see if one of these caused problem but all seem fine. i guess as wrong fuse in holder it has gone before but as dont know history on the tub i cant say. I also think the tub was built in china!!! (Got me worried)!! The pumps are whirl pool so not to bad. Cant see make on heater but seperate to control panel. I have been trying to find something like a balboa panel that can control t.v/dvd/radio etc like one fitted but cant seem to find one. Would prefer to fix one fitted but dont seem to have much luck finding it at moment. Thanks for any help.
