the flow rate displayed on screen is at least 15 gpm 

(57 lpm).

High limit has tripped

Push the reset button on the limit.

Thermostat not calling for heat Turn thermostat to higher temperature.

It takes a long time to heat the spa.

Low input voltage

Call the electric company.

Undersized heater

Calculate temperature in heat rise 

 

°/hr. = Heater input (kw) x 410 divided by spa 

gallonage (This does not take into account heat loss 

due to weather).

Heat loss from poor weather 

conditions (cold, high winds)

Use an spa cover.

Defective heating element

Call an electrician.

Spa does not reach temperature.

Low flow

Check filter, skimmer basket, pump.

Heating element continuously 

burning out.

High input voltage

Call the electric company.

Poor water chemistry

See "WATER CHEMISTRY" on page 4.

Heating element split open

Over-acid condition. Watch pH, add acid slowly.

Fuses blow or circuit breaker opens.
