Older style tubs have a pressure switch usually mounted directly on the heater manifold, or attached to the plumbing. The pressure switch is connected to the spa pack/circuit board with 2 wires and shuts the heater off if there is not enough pressure in the heater tube/manifold to protect the heater from becoming damaged or even exploding or causing a fire in a dry heater condition. Newer spas that use Balboa controls have sensors built right into the heater so a pressure switch is no longer needed as the safety function of monitoring the heater for constant water pressure is now all performed within the heater on newer quality spas.
Check all of the following............. 1. Pressure switch. 2. Pressure switch pigtail. 3. A/C heater controller.........
