Possible Causes

Aging topside panel, UV exposure on outdoor Freeflow spas, Moisture ingress, Low control voltage from transformer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the control box.

  • 1. Shade and dry: Ensure the panel is protected from direct sprinklers and heavy rain; allow it to dry if recently wet.
  • 2. Check low-voltage output: Have a technician measure the control transformer output to ensure proper voltage to the panel.

In most cases, a dim or unreadable display requires replacement of the topside control panel with a Freeflow-compatible unit.
