						tub is well into it's life, at least 5 years or more.&nbsp; At this point, <I>most</I> part
						numbers, model numbers, serial numbers.. etc.. are not worth the paper they're written

						<FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica"><FONT SIZE="-1">Over the years, manufacturers have dropped components,

						<P>
						<FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica"><FONT SIZE="-1">What is important, is to &quot;describe&quot; the
						physical and electrical characteristics of components, the size of them helps, anything that is
						available to you.&nbsp; While it is ok to provide model and part numbers when you have them
						available,&nbsp; the lack of one will usually make no difference, as about 90 percent of the spa
						repair components are &quot;generic&quot; to all spas.&nbsp;&nbsp; (There is a specific exception
						when it comes to system control boards,&nbsp; and the software version numbers that are on the
						board itself are paramount to gettting the correct replacement.&nbsp; This exception also extends
						to large sequential type relays and air switches).</FONT></FONT>
