New Jacuzzi - LED lights issue
mrpenguin:
Sad to hear I am not the only one. This is exactly what happened with me. It just got worse and the others started to go too. Depressing that you can spend that much on a tub and something so cheap as an LED can make you that sad. Here's my original post when mine went: http://www.whatsthebest-hottub.com/forum/index.php/topic,17960.msg185059.html#msg185059
I had to have all 4 cupholders and the waterfall LED systems swapped out already. It is not easy, but it is not impossible. Less than a year later, I now have the replacement waterfall having issues. I think it goes to poor craftsmanship. Looking at the cupholders, it seemed a few of mine were cracked in some way. Probably over-tightened when installing. This second waterfall light I can see water got into it. They are only covered for one year, and my dealer was slow to get it fixed to start. They also want $200 for the waterfall light. I think I will disassemble it and see if I can fix it myself. The devices themselves are pretty simple. Just some LEDs and resistors.
One thing that may work and be easy, and I really hope is the issue for you :
Take off the panels in the front corners. There are blue boxes with a bunch of SVHS cables (at least in my model)
Make sure they are all pushed in all the way.
You can see a picture of what I am talking about here: http://www.whatsthebest-hottub.com/forum/index.php/topic,17965.msg185113.html#msg185113
I have accepted that our LEDs will soon all be dead again and Either I need to pay a bunch for them, or just move on.

LED emitters can be very cheaply made or made to last decades. Guess which ones are likely used in a hot tub?

not all brands have these issues, with a little research and reading of "owner reviews" you can easily see the ones that have the most issues

Right...that's my point. The cost difference between quality or cheap emitters is so small now it's a dumb place to try to save money.
Jacuzzi Jim:
We might have dealt with 2 or 3 light issues a year on Jacuzzi's pretty low failure rate but it happens.
