Was wondering if anyone had any info on a 1992 sovereign I? I can't seem to get the heater to work. I bought a new heater element and the water still doesn't get warm. I would like to find a wiring diagram or manual of some sort. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Test the T-stat and htr relay. Htr relay coil is 110v dc, voltage across t-stat may be either 110v a.c or d.c, dpending on how it's wired (look for a rectifier). Voltage across the T-stsat may open and close actual htr relay (if so, it's dc), converely, if it energizes the rectifier (which then would energize the heater relay) it is a/c. If it's d.c, a new T-stat (part #75087 from Hot Spring Spas) will have instruction on converting the T-stat to a/c accross the points. You'll get much longer use out of it in this fashion. A little history... the t-stat was originally wired a/c, but the engineers thought it would last longer dc. so they inlcuded wiring instruction to inlude the addition of a diode and some minor re-wiring.... turns out the d/c caused more damage to the T-stat points than a/c, so they are now including a kit to put it back the way it was.... the point of the story: If it's been changed and converted, change it back. If it's the priginal T-stat, just replace it without changing anything.... Why did you buy an element if you weren't sure the old one was bad? " title="Confused" />
