Possible Causes
Recently refilled with cold water, Ambient temperature very low, Spa in protection mode to prevent heater damage, Sensor reading water below safe heating range
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the spa is filled with clean water and GFCI protected.
COOL indicates the water is significantly below the set temperature and the system may delay heating until safe conditions are met.
- Verify water level and circulation: Confirm proper fill level and that the circulation pump is running with good flow.
- Allow warm-up time: After a fresh fill with cold water, it can take many hours to reach set temperature. Keep the cover closed to retain heat.
- Check mode: Make sure the spa is in Standard/Ready mode, not Economy or Sleep.
- Monitor for change: If COOL remains for many hours with no temperature increase, there may be a heater or sensor fault that needs diagnosis.
