Just make sure the black and red flow switch wires are in the two middle holes and fully seated. I would not obsess over not feeling suction through the footwell suctions. They only feed the main pumps. If you have good jet action, they are OK. The circ pump draws water through the filter. It sounds like you've found the circ pump to be OK and the flow switch closing as it should. In order to troubleshoot the board, you could remove the flow switch wires from the connector, put the connector with the sensor wires back on the board, power up the spa, take a small thin jumper wire and jumper across the two flow switch connection points AFTER the circ pump is moving water. If you still have a FLO error code with the jumper in place, your board is bad.

: Well I was hoping to avoid the spa repairman
: but it's not looking good. I replaced the
: flow switch, they were identical #'s and I
: still have the FLO error. I tried shutting
: off power @ breaker, tried putting old one
: in and new one out of tub and running to
: manually move flapper, I'm 99% sure I have
: the wires on the new one in the holes of the
: plug where the old one was, still getting
: FLO error. I know I have flow, I've
: disconnected lines while only the recirc
: pump running-water BLOWS out the lines, I
: can see the flapper moving, I have just
: cleaned the cartridge, its super clean, ran
: it w/ out cartridge. The only thing I'm kid
: of curious is that the three intake screens
: on the bottom, while running I dont feel any
: suction there, as if there is some kind of
: obstruction, as I know I had a little
: suction there. I've disconnected the plugs
: on each pump, let a little water out, and
: I'm almost at the end where I can't do too
: much more. Anyone in addition to JOHN
: willing to help me out or point me in the
: right direction I'd really appreciate it. IF
: someone with a 2000 SUndance alatamar might
: be able to look at their wiring of the flow
: switch, so I can be 110% sure I have the
: wires in the right spot on the plug, I'd
: appreciate that too. THanks in advance. Brad
