New to me Jetsetter???
Isaac-1:
Thanks, for the replies, it looks like I will potentially be going to get it this weekend, most likely Sunday morning as that is the next day the seller and I are both going to be available (with luck). Just wondering how do you tell it is 98 - 99 and not 97? As I understand it 97 is a one off year on the IQ2000 board.

the black oval control panel came into use in 1998. a big improvement over previous controls, and used for 10 years before it was retired.

Here is an update for those of you that may read this thread in the future,
I bought the Jetsetter, it is home and hooked up, everything is mostly good, condition is as good as it appeared in the photos (also came with hot spring brand cover and lifter in good shape), probably was indoors its whole life, just a few small dings to the wood. The seller broke the drain valve fitting loading it on to his trailer, so I have to fix that, and it appears the circulation pump does not work, otherwise everything looks good. Heater gets warm, jet pump operates, I am also replacing the Freshwater II ozonator under the assumption it no longer works, (installing a much smaller Del APG-U). I have ordered an E5 pump to replace the Original Silentflo 500, I may try some more to get the Silentflo to operate while waiting the the E5, if I get it going I will have a spare. It was also connected 240V so I had to reconfigure the jumpers and add cord and GFCI.
P.S. it turns out to be built 4th quarter 1998

A couple of more updates, I think I have it going, at least sort of, after flushing more water full blast through the gray fill tube I was able to get the circulation pump to start flowing. At first just enough to barely make the intake on the new Del Ozonator hiss, then after a few minutes it got a little faster, but started making a clack, clack clack sound, I am letting it run over night and see how it is going in the morning. I think flow is still a bit on the low side as no ozone bubbles are making it back to the tub. Another sign this tub probably did not get much use, the old filters had a 1998 date code on them and looked used, but might still have some life... Who knows, the original owners may have stocked up on filters when they bought the tub though.

Add New filters, New circ pump....No more headaches. Throw them old filters away...far far away! Remember...Low flow on circ pump...low ozone flow and low heat flow= SUCKS >:(
