Possible Causes

Localized overheating in heater tube, Blocked filter causing low flow, Air lock in heater, Faulty high-limit sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the spa to cool before working on the heater area.

  • Clean filter and check flow: Remove and clean the filter cartridge. Ensure all valves are open and that there is no visible restriction in the plumbing.
  • Bleed air: Loosen a union near the heater or use the bleed screw (if present) to release trapped air until water flows steadily.
  • Reset system: After restoring flow, turn power back on and see if the HL code clears automatically. Some models may require a power cycle.
  • Replace sensor if recurring: If HL continues to trip despite good flow and normal temperatures, replace the high-limit sensor with a compatible Aquavia part.
