Canadian Spa Company Over-chlorination or overheating of components

Strong chemical or plastic smell from equipment bay or water.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Excessive sanitizer levels, Ozonator malfunction, Overheating wiring or control pack, Cover off in hot sun causing off-gassing

Safety: If you smell burning plastic or see smoke, shut off power immediately.

Check sanitizer level: Test and adjust chlorine/bromine to recommended range. Leave cover open to allow gases to dissipate.
Inspect equipment bay: With power OFF, look for discolored or melted wiring, especially near the heater and pumps.
Check ozonator: If equipped, disconnect the ozonator from power and see if the smell diminishes over a day or two.

Any sign of burnt wiring or components requires replacement of the affected part and possibly the control pack.
