Possible Causes
Partially failed heater element, Stuck heater relay not closing fully, Temperature sensor reading too high and limiting heat, Excessive heat loss from poorly insulated spa or open lid
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the spa before touching electrical components. Do not cover the pump/heater unit while operating.
- 1. Confirm settings: Ensure the set temperature is higher than the current water temperature and that the heater function is actually enabled.
- 2. Check heat over time: Run the heater for at least 2–3 hours with the lid closed and insulated. Measure water temperature with an external thermometer. A Lay‑Z‑Spa typically heats 1–2°C per hour depending on ambient conditions.
- 3. Reduce heat loss: Use the inflatable lid and top cover, add a ground mat or insulation under the spa, and shield from wind.
- 4. Inspect for scale: Heavy limescale on the heater can reduce efficiency. Run a descaling treatment through the system and flush thoroughly.
- If there is still no noticeable heating: The heater element or control relay may be partially failed. This requires electrical testing and likely replacement of the heater assembly or pump/heater unit by a professional.
