FIXED!!! Bought a flooded 2015 Hot Springs Envoy NXT trouble shooting help

(1/5) > >>

fboyles:
Hey guys I could use some help! I bought a flooded 2015 HS Envoy NXT. It was priced well enough to put some time and money into making it work again. I know that I have to replace pretty much everything! I've already bought a new heater relay board and the main control board. I'm about to buy a new Wavemaster 8200 and a 9000 pumps. Along with a silentflo E5 pump and a Freshwater III ozonator.

My first question is is their any programing that needs to happen to the main control board? I have replaced the boards/ IQ2020 box flipped the 20AMP and 30AMP breakers and I don't see any LEDs coming on?? I have left the tablet controller in the charging bay over night and nothing powers on?? So I don't know if I'm missing a step?

Next question is I have found a guy that sells new HS parts online. He has a lot of parts just not everything. He doesn't have the Wavemaster 9000 but he does have a new WM8000. Looking at the specs it looks like it should work. Since I'm new to Hot tub repairs I just wanted to double check that I'm not missing something. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Yes, you will need to flash, or install new software via a usb drive for the circuit board.  If the 8000 and 9000 are the same size, speed, and horsepower rating, I don't see why not, but I don't know for sure.

Any idea where I can find the flash update file? The only thing that I can find are instruction on how to add the file to a USB drive. The site that I was looking at for pump specs was incorrect. Turns out their is a difference between 2 AMPS and .5HP. The WM 9000 (10AMP,2.5HP, 1speed)  and the WM8000 (8amp,2HP,1speed). I wonder if I will notice a deference not having that extra .5HP?

PM me your email.  Also your Serial number.  I'll send you the right file ;)

Only HSS dealers have access to it.  Get a formatted flash drive (a good one... not a cheap one)  Place only the software file in a freshly formatted drive, and you should be good to go!

Thank you Doonut. I just PMed you.

Thank you so much!
My Hot Springs is a 2015 Envoy NXT with the wireless tablet and Bluetooth audio system.

I have been really stumped on this Hot Tub rebuild. I have tried two different IQ2020. The first one when it didn't power up I thought it was DOA. The seller told me that these boards were plug-in-play. So I swapped it out with another and it did nothing! Very anticlimactic! I had prepared myself to replace everything but didn't want to replace unnecessary parts. I also had the idea to plug the spade connectors of each of the motors directly to the heater relay board to test them out. Both Wavemasters were seized but I was able to free them up by hand turning them with a screwdriver. But they are both noisy and I'm thinking will need to be replace. The silentflo E5 pump just trips the GFCI so I assume that one is shorted out and will also need to be replaced. Do you know if I can use a WM 8000 instead of the 9000? it's a difference of .5HP?
