1. SYMPTOM: THE SPA WILL NOT OPERATE

a. Check to see if the GFCI breaker is tripped or

was not turned on. Reset the GFCI breaker.

b. Remove the access cover and locate the

heater switch on the side of the control box.
Make sure that the heater switch is in the “on”
position. Important: The spa will not operate
if the heater switch is in the “off” position.

2. SYMPTOM: THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR THE

GFCI TRIPS WHILE THE SPA IS OPERATING

a. Reset the circuit breaker or the GFCI. If the cir-

cuit breaker or the GFCI trips again, contact a
qualified electrician for service.

3. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS

a. The filter cartridges may be dirty or damaged.

Remove the cartridges from the filter housing
and clean or replace the cartridges (see page
18).

b. The pump may have a foreign object stuck in

the impeller. Contact our customer service
department.

c. The pump may have a loose wire connection.

Contact our customer service department.

4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS BUT DOES NOT

ROTATE

a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-

tomer service department. If your spa is no
longer under warranty, you may contact a local
spa and pool service provider.

5. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE

OPERATING

a. There may be debris in the pump. Contact our

customer service department.

b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact

our customer service department.

6. 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. Set the temperature to the
desired setting. The water will heat at 2°F
(1°C) per hour. If you are using the spa indoors,
and the room temperature is maintained at
70°F (21°C), it will take approximately 24 to 36
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+ (21°C+)

24 to 36 hours

50°F to 70°F (10°C 21 to°C)

2 to 3 days

30°F to 50°F (1°C to 10°C)

3 to 4 days

b.

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

c. If actual water temperature is lower that the set

temperature, and the Heat On LED indicator on
the console is not lit, 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.

8. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR

THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW

a. Adjust the water level. This usually occurs only

when the water level is low. Add water until the
thera-jets are covered (see step 4 on page 9).
