Contactors, rectifiers,
relays & surge protectors

This latching air switch was used for two different purposes on Hot Spot spa models. In 1993-1994 is was used as a jet activation switch. In 1995-1998 it was used as a light activation switch. It is connected with a clear vinyl tube to the air button located on the bar top of the Hot Spot models. Once the air button is depressed, a puff of air activates this switch. In turn the switch sends a signal to the circuit board or relay which turns the jet pump onto low speed, then high speed and then off. It also will turn the light on and off on the 1995-1998 Hot Spots.

The jet switch is located in the control box of all 1995-1998 Hot Spot spa models. It is connected with a clear vinyl tube to the air button located on the bartop of the Hot Spot models. Once the air button is depressed a puff of air activates this switch. In turn the switch sends a momentary signal to the circuit board. The circuit board interprets the signal and makes the required changes to the jet pump status. That is, the circuit board turns the jet pump on, off or from low to high speed.

This anti static capacitor was used on all Hot Spring spa models prior to 1990 that used the AC Relay Coils. Symptom of this part failing is static or wavy lines on the television when the spa is operational.

This rectifier was used on the 1990-1993 Hot Spring Classic, Sovereign, Prodigy, Jetsetter, Highlife and Grandee, 1994 Tiger River Khyber and the 1993-1994 Hot Spot Z model.

This capacitor was used on the Hot Spot Z (round) model after serial number Z-240132 (2nd quarter 1994). Click the "More Info" button for details.

Note: For serial numbers prior to Z-240133 use part number 70838 upgrade kit.

This upgrade kit is needed for the Hot Spot Z (round) model prior to Z-240133 (2nd quarter 1994) and comes with instructions for replacement from Z-330001 (3rd qtr 1993) to Z-240133 (2nd qtr 1994). 

Note: Factory photo shows that this includes a resistor which it does not.

This double pole 115Volt AC contactor (relay) is found in the control box on all Hot Spring models through the end of 1989. It is used as the Interlock Relay only on the 115v. Hot Spring models. On the 220v Hot Spring models, it is the only relay found in the control box. So it will be used as the Interlock Relay, Jet Pump Relay and Heater Relay.

This DC power relay replaces defective DC contactors (P/N 10298) in first and second quarter 1990 Grandee model spas.

This single pole 115Volt AC contactor (relay) is found in the control box on all 115volt Hot Spring models through the end of 1989. It provides power to either the jet pump or the heater.

(Ref. #1) Light transformer for the 1995-2002 Hot Spot spa models.

This 12Volt DC PWA Switch Relay controls the low speed pump when the thermostat calls for heat on the 1995-1997 Hot Spot Z (round) and Y (rectangle shape) spa models.

This 20amp single pole/single throw 110 volt DC relay was used 1993-1994 Hot Spot Z (round) model spa. Click the "More Info" button for details.

This double pole/double throw 110 volt DC relay was used 1993-1994 Hot Spot Z (round) model spa.

This double pole/double throw DC coil relay was used on the 1991-1993 Hot Spring Classic, Sovereign, Prodigy, Jetsetter, Highlife and Grandee spa models. Used also on the 1992-1994 Tiger River Khyber spa model. Click the "More Info" button for details.

This 30amp double pole/single throw 12volt coil relay was used for various purposes. Used for a light, heater, interlock, low speed jet pump, high speed jet pump and circulation pump relay in all 1994-1996 Hot Spring, all 1995-1998 Hot Spot and all 1995-1996 Tiger River spa models. Relay, DPST 30A 12Volt DC

This relay (or contactor) is also known as the Interlock Relay & Heater Relay is a 110VDC coil 30amp and was used on the 1990-1993 Hot Spring Classic, Grandee, Highlife, Jetsetter, Prodigy & Sovereign spa models. Also used on the 1992-1994 Tiger River Khyber spa model. Click the "More Info" button for details.

This 30amp 18volt DC coil relay is used in the 1997 and 1998-2000 Hot Spring & Tiger River IQ 2000 Control Box. There are two of these relays located in the upper left corner of the IQ 2000 control box. One is the heater relay and one is the heater interlock relay, both the same part number. These relays age at the same rate so always replace them in pairs.

This 30 amp 110 volt double pole/single throw relay was used on the 1993-1994 Hot Spot Z (round) model and the 1994 Tiger River Khyber as a jet pump relay.

OBSOLETE

This resistor was only used on the 1993-1994 Hot Spot Z (round) model spa. Most Watkins Techs recommend removing this part from the control box. It has been discontinued as of 9-2014

Surge protector used in '94-'96 Hot Spring, '92-'94 Tiger River on the GFCI and in all '93-'97 Hot Spot spa models. This is one of two types of surge protectors used in Hot Spring, Tiger River, & Hot Spot brands. The second style is the 35628 .Click the "More Info" button for details.

Relay surge protector (aka transient suppressor) used on all 1990-1993 Hot Spring spa models and on the third quarter 1995 220volt Hot Spring models. This is one of two types of surge protectors used in the Hot Spring brand. The second style is the 31458 . Click on the "More Info" button for details.
