thank you for the reply. you are right as I definitely want to keep the Nova, however I may be forced into upgrading. I just recently took over an existing salon that has been in business for 13 years and I already encountered my first problem. The Nova that I have is the 800/2 series, 24 minute bed. Last week it unexpectedly shut down with a customer in it. I called the former owner and he had me flip the breaker that the Nova is on. Once I did that, the bed came back just fine and the client was able to finish their session. At first I thought this was just a fluke situation, but it has happened twice in the last 10 uses of that bed!
I now have an electrician (who is family, so I know he is trustworthy) coming in tonight to check things out. The second time that this happened the breaker that my Nova is on was hot. Now I am no electrician, but something just doesn't add up. On the bed it clearly shows a label saying that the surge power is 100amps and the running power is 75amps, BUT the breaker that the bed is on is only a 80amp breaker.
I am hoping that this is simply just an electric issue and nothing actually wrong with the bed itself. I have heard that it is very difficult to fix issues with the Nova beds because they only made them from 98-02. Like I said I just purchased this business and the last thing I want to do is already have to replace my most expensive piece of equipment in the salon! any ideas or help is very much appreciated.
