ok with the switch as you are holding it there should be no continuity between c and no , now if you apply pressure to the end under your thumb which is a spring loaded diaphragm the black threaded section should move and engage the switch if it doesn't move or if the switch in closed position has no continuity it's bad and replace.

Gotcha.....the black threaded section does not move to engage the switch. Ordering a new one now. Thanks Deputy.....I appreciate the help. I'll let you know when I get the new switch and install it. Crossing my fingers this is the only thing wrong.

Your welcome and I hope it works.

Worked 18 hours.......then kaput

I now have what they call the watchdog code ----
I know the pressure switch was bad, but the board must be bad also. I found one for $325 plus shipping. My pool was cheaper to get going than this piece of shit hot tub. Well not really, but it hasn't been a money pit like this.

They are money pits and pool and spa retailers know it, it's basically legal extortion. I had many customers ask how much would it would cost to get rid of it ? Back then we started at 500 bucks and up depending on the install in many cases it cost more to remove than the original purchase price, same for pools they started at 5g's to fill in and much more to remove. Virtually all parts with the exception of major components are marked up 1000 percent, the big ticket items 150 to 300 percent. So now whats not working?
