Ok, looking better.

The 2 speed pump is A O K now! woooohoooo
Was siezed up from sitting around. Got it loosened up and moves
smooooooooooooth!

So when the jet button is off, it runs slow which must be a circulator?
Hit the jet button and it speeds up. Just as I would expect.

So both pumps work great now.

The air blower will be replaced this week, so that is all set now.

That diverter valve, I found out how it was wired in the spa pack before. And reconnected it back in as it was. When I click on the blower, that diverter thing has a fan and I hear it turn on. So, I think it may be all set for now.
Will look into that more later.


So that brings me to the heater.

I measured across that A and B you posted and I don't get 220v at any point.

There is some things I need to try to explain here.


If I set the thermostat up, I didn't hear the click in the spa pack, just the thermostat had a faint click when it turned to heat status.
So, I adjusted that heater knob on the front of the spa pack all the way down to minimum and flicked the rocker switch to Thermostat Mode and now with the thermostat up top I hear the audible click down below. Which is what I would expect setting it into thermostat mode as you can see.

So....
Still no 220v at A and B with it CLICKED on.
This is with my meter with on probe on A and the other on B.

Any ideas?

I included an old photo i had of the front panel for reference on my heater setting I was stating.

Had a little brain storming over night.


Would I get 220v at those 2 terminals A&B for the heater with no water in the
tub and no water flow?
I didn't know if there was a (pressure switch/flow sensor) that checks those to prevent the heater from overrunning?

If so, then I will filler back up and reperform my 220v check.

Thanks

Yes there is a pressure switch so water must be flowing. It's the small switch on the right side of the heater manifold. Another clue to make sure where the heater wires go is from the front panel. Look at the heater on light ? Follow the two wires from that light to the terminals where they hook up. Normally they will hook up to the contactors at the same place the two blue heater wires hook up. Sometimes............ ? Also one of the heater legs may be fused down where you removed the fuses ? It's hard to tell......? Short of the you may have to contact pinnacle for a schematic or maybe the one Charger sent you to will work.

I didn't think of the blower being turbo charged so it makes sense that the motorized diverter valve hooks up to the blower circuit.

Keep the mode switch in heater mode and set the timer for 4 hrs am and 4 hrs pm. If you have an ozone unit you may want to change it

Good luck
