SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT

a. Make sure that the hydrotherapy spa is fully

covered with the spa cover. 

The spa cover

must be tight for the water to heat. Set the
air control to low. The water will heat at a rate
of 6°F per hour. If you are using the spa
indoors and the room temperature is main-
tained at 70°F, it will take approximately 6 to 8
hours for the water to reach the set temperature.

b. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa outdoors,

it may take longer for the water to heat. See
the chart below for the approximate heating
time.

Air Temperature

Heating Time

70°F +

6 to 8 hours

50°F to 70°F

9 to 11 hours

30°F to 50°F

12 to 14 hours

b. 

If the water still has not heated after four days,
contact our customer service department.

7.

SYMPTOM: THE WATER IS NOT BEING
CLEANED BY THE FILTER

a. Check to see if the filter is in place. Clean the

filter if it is dirty. 

b. Check the chemical balance of the water. If the

pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not
function properly. See the section on maintain-
ing the proper pH balance on page 16.

8.

SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW

a. This usually occurs only when the water level is

low. Add water until it is 2” to 4” above the
skimmer basket.

b. The filter cover may not be tight. Make sure the

filter cover is tight.
