Heater for Whirlpool

[9000cs]

The heater in my Maax Flirt Whirlpool tub has sprung a leak. It is a PermaHeat T Heater by Hydro-Products LLC. I have not been able to find a replacement on-line. Does anyone know if Hydro-Products is still in business and where I can get a replacement? Should I be looking for a different manufacturer for improved quality?

I had the same problem with that heater. Opened and found leaky pressure switch. Manufacter did not put teflon tape on NPT thread just bead of sealant. During remover plastic fitting was broken. You can order from www.pressair.com for $30.00.
