Easy replacement, fixed my arching problem which kept triggering the GFI. Cheaper than replacing the whole heater assembly, hardest part was having to prime the pump after removing the whole heather assembly in order to replace the heating element...

Installed these before in my hot tubs heater unit but the one I received seems warped and the hot tub is reading overheating now. I installed the unit, filled the tub, then snow started so I need to wait to tear down the hot tub again to inspect and see if I can bend it down so it is not touching the heater units sides. It is not fully touching, but I am thinking it is just too close and needs an adjustment. I did not like not having my hot tub for the winter months.

Thank you for the review. An overheat code (OH, HH, HL, or HH0) in a Balboa spa heater is typically caused by a flow restriction on the heater's exit side, such as a partially closed shutoff valve or another restriction. The error code indicates that hot water isn’t being evacuated from the heater high tube quickly enough (minimum 23 GPM required). When the water temperature inside the heater tube reaches about 115F, the safety limit is reached, and the computer shuts down the spa. A heating element that wasn’t aligned during installation and left to contact the side of the tube will typically have a very short life, but it can’t trigger an overheat code. If we can be of any assistance, please reach out to our tech support team, and they will help.

good experience as the part fixed my problem. My hot tub needs a new top 80" x 62”. I don’t find that size on your web page. It’s for a free flow Azure. Do have something close to that size at a good price. A good used one would be ok>
