Bought a Bullfrog A6 spa from the old T & D store on Parr drive. It's almost 1 year old. Last fall the store, looking at a water sample, told me I had to up the filter time. I noticed the spa had 2 watercare cycles for an hour at 8 AM and 8 PM. I increased it to 2 hours for each cycle.

But, what I realized was the 8 PM cycle never turned on. The 8 AM cycle worked fine. Started playing around with the times and found 6 PM worked although wasn't sure it stayed on for the two full hours.

Called Patriot pool; tech came out and thought the pump was overheating. I wasn't around when he came so was unable to explain what the issue was. I was certain it wasn't a pump issue. Pump came in a month later and they replaced it. Still has the problem. Tech came back; talked to Bullfrog and they said order a new controller.

Two weeks later, tech comes back, replaces the controller. Still has the problem. Nothing else to replace.

This has to be a common problem among this spa series. Anyone out there have this same spa? Will it do an eight PM filter cycle?

NOTE: When the spa is doing a filter cycle, there is a message displayed on the front panel, Filtering is active. This is different from the spa's hourly 5 minute water cycle.

Also, changed filter cycle to 6 PM and it turns on at 6 but only runs for an hour. Set to run for 2 hours.
