Basic Tools This is a list of basic tools required to repair almost any problem encountered with a control base. Tools such as a digital multimeter and clip-on ammeter are used to test the electrical current of various components on the control base. Psophometers are used to test certain components based on the loudness of the sound they produce.
Understanding a Multi-Meter The range with a V and a wavy line measures AC voltage The range with a V and a straight line measures DC voltage First determine whether you will be testing for AC or DC voltage based on this guide and adjust the meter to a range above the expected reading.
Basic Spa Components Control Base - This part houses the heater, water pump, and an air pump. Control Panel- The Control Panel has a display used to adjust temperature and provide diagnostic information when there are problems with the Control Base Spa Tub- Holds the water.

Opening the Control Base Begin by removing 6 screws around the enclosure. Then take strength to pull out the connector. Open the deflation outlet cap with the included bolt wrench and unscrew the one screw that link the outlet cap to release it from the wire.
The Control Panel connector is attached to the outer casing, lift the cover vertically carefully to ensure the cable is not pulled and connection between base and cover is not damaged. Accessing the PCB Remove the 2 screws that secure the white PCB cover to reveal the PCB. Unscrew the 2 screws on the holder to remove the PCB set from the Control Base.

Error Code E90 This code indicates low water pressure which could be due to an obstruction or a problem with an internal component. Ensure the correct connection between the control base and tub. The tub is filled with water to the recommended level.
Page 17
Error Code E90 (Flow Sensor) 1. Check the connection of the flow sensor. Make sure connectors are in good contact. Ensure that the pins inside the connector are not broken or bent. Color and style of connector may be different from the one shown in the photo below.
Page 18
Error Code E90 (Water Pump) If the display indicates Code 90 & there is no water flow; 1. If only a click can be heard from the pump when attempting to turn on the unit, there is likely a problem with the water pump. Check the water pump for any broken parts inside. a.

Error Code E94 This code indicates very low water temperature which could be due frigid water or a problem with the 20-40 C water temperature sensors. Please follow the logic diagram and instructions as below: Display E94 1. Add warn water if water temp. <4℃ 2.
Page 22
Run the filtering function for 1 minute. If the spa display does not indicate an error code and the unit is circulating water without issue, no further troubleshooting is necessary. Remove the unit for further testing if Error Code 94 is confirmed. a.
Page 23
Error Code E95 This code indicates very high water temperature which could be hot water or a problem with the 50 ℃ water temperature sensor. Display E95 1. Add cold water if water temp. >50℃ 2. Replace 50C temperature sensor 3.
Page 24
Error Code E97 This code indicates dry--fire protection which could be due hot water or a problem with the 84C thermal fuse. Display E97 1. Remove cartridge and run heat system. 2. Replace 84C temperature fuse 3. Or replace a PCB Run heat 1 min., E97? Go Back to Next Step...
Page 25
Error Code E99/ 100℃/ 000℃ This code indicates a bad 20-40 ℃ water temperature sensor. Run the filtering function for 1 minute. If the spa display does not indicate an error code and the unit is circulating water without issue, no further troubleshooting is necessary. Display E99/100/000/212 1.
END/ Heating problems This code indicates if after 72 hours of continuous heating operation, the system will hibernate automatically. The defect reason could be heater or a problem with PCB. Display END Run heat 5 min., heater current 4~6A each one? 1.

Black blank A blank reading on a spa Control Panel indicates components such as RCD failure, PCB failure or a connection issue between the Panel & Base. Plug in and Reset RCD Reconnect Signal Line Panel Blank? Replace a control panel, run system Panel Blank? 1.
Random Display or 888 If the display is showing random numbers or all the LEDs are lit up, it is possible that there is a connection problem. Random Display/ Code 888 1. Replace Control Panel 2. Replace PCB Random Code? Go Back to Next Step In addition, disconnect and reconnect the cable for the Control Panel.
Air Blower Problems Issues with the air can be due to a defective air pump, bad tub, and damaged or missing seals. Problems with the air pump could also be due to it becoming overheated. No Bubble Run Bubble, bubble come out? 1.

If the air blower is too noisy: First check the sound the air blower is making with a psophometer. The Control Base should not be attached to a Tub. Run the air blower function and check for the noise level using the psophometer. If the noise is less than 90 decibels, there is no problem with the air blower.
How to Replace RCD 1. Plug the in the Control Base and test the RCD “TEST” and “RESET” functions. In the event the RCD fails, replace the RCD. 2. Change the Control Panel with a new one. Check terminals (1&2) for wall voltage. If there is no voltage, check the electrical outlet and RCD.
