Need to re-start hot tub daily

The hot tub has to be re-started every day or two. Then everything works fine. In warm or hot weather it will run for a month or more, now with cool weather it is every day again. It is a Pacific (Aber) with Stealth circ pump, blt. 2001 The circ pump is a Tiny Might. Any one ever have same problem? Thanks Ken

In the past we have had the same problem with a couple of spas. What we found was that the thermostat or the high limit "bulb" was not insulated properly and collecting the wrong temp. To fix this you need to follow the copper wire to the heater assembly or to the shell of the spa. (not the ground wire) Make sure that it is inserted into the well properly and you may have to use silicone or electrical tape to help insulate it. Try this first if it does not help then there may be a problem with the PC Board or contactor. To help you see what the "bulb" look like go to the following link. It should take to the web page that has a picture of the thermostat. The high limit looks almost identical.
