I recently bought a older hot tub and have been using it for a while but noticed that when the temprature reaches the thermostat high limit the heating contactor starts ticking as if the heating contactor is not getting enough voltage to activate fully. I tested the heating contactor and it works fine but the problem seems to come from the thermostat controller, when the temprature reaches the high limit the controller does not sent enough voltage initially to fully activate the heating contactor. I dont want to spend 240 dollars on a new thermostat controller so im trying to find a cheaper sulution.
My idea is to use a capacitor to boost the voltage to the heating contactor but i have no idea where to place it?
I have made a simple wiring diagram to illustate what i mean.
If you have any sugestions at all that might help me out i would really apreciate it.
