I have learned to look gift horses in the mouth very carefully.

T or F, I have encountered yet another free decent looking tub to hook a buddy up with.
The owner says the hotsprings guy said (yeah, right!) It just needed a heater element, a 60 dollar part. I am pretty sure but not entirely so that you gotta replace the whole heater on these T or F guys?

He said everything else worked but that the heater just made a clicking sound. Is that at all tell-tale?

Some of the older ones had a heating element, but the clicking sound may be a bad thermistat clicking in and out. What year is it?

I'd say 98 or so it has the IQ 2000 control and the no fault straight pipe heater.

Clicking sound? More likely the circ pump, maybe just a dirty filter or flow switch, maybe just a T-92 relay. But the heater isn't just an element in that era, you're stuck buying a whole new one if you do need one, around $300 now " title="Confused" />

Thanks, thats what I thought. Those thin tubes on the no faults look hard to fish anything out of.
