How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Verify water temperature with an independent thermometer before use.

  • 1. Lower set temperature: Reduce the setpoint and monitor actual water temperature over 24 hours.
  • 2. Shade spa: Provide shade for the Freeflow spa if in intense direct sunlight, especially in hot climates.
  • 3. Inspect sensors and relays: Have a technician test the temperature sensor and heater relay for proper operation.

Do not use the spa if water exceeds safe soaking temperatures (typically 104°F / 40°C max).
