1. Tiger River Sumatran Model "N"
2. Power 230v
3. IQ2020?
4. Topside control
5. Silent Flo 5000 circulation pump and Wavemaster jet pump
6. pushbutton topside thermostat
7. "No-Fault" 6000 heater


After refilling the tub, I noticed the Ozonator didn't bubble anymore, but the jets, the control panel and the spa light still worked.. After about 2 minutes, the jets no longer worked, the power light started blinking and the control panel is blank.
I turned off the breaker for 1 day, turned it back on and the same thing occured..

Any ideas?

Check circ pump flow- (small 24 circ pump)

If it's failed, it takes about 2 minutes for the heater to over-heat and trip the high limit (red light flashes)

Thanks Swine.. How do I check this? Is that the 'silent Flow 5000'?

Yes, he's refering to the silentflo pump. If you see no water movement at the water's surface above the drain screen, I be suspisious of an air bubble in the circ pump(silentflo5000). turn the spa on and off at the 20amp breaker. let the spa power up wait 30secs. then power it down. remove the equip. door and eyeball the water coming out of the circ. pump. Try it 10 times or more. If you do not presently refill your spa through the filter compartment try it next time. It will hedge against the air bubble problem.
