Possible Causes
Water temperature below safe heating threshold, Temperature sensor reading very low, Spa just refilled with cold water, Sensor out of calibration
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the spa is filled and all plumbing is intact before running pumps in freezing conditions.
- Verify actual water temperature: Use a separate thermometer to confirm the water temperature.
- Allow warm-up: If the spa was just filled with cold water, allow the system to circulate; the code should clear as the water warms.
- Check sensor placement: Make sure the temperature sensor is fully seated in its well or threaded port and not exposed to outside air.
- Inspect sensor cable: Damage to the sensor cable can cause false low readings.
If COL persists with normal water temperature, the temperature sensor may need replacement.
