Possible Causes

Water temperature above safe operating range, Spa cover left on in hot sun with pumps running, Sensor reading high due to poor circulation around heater

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not use the spa when HOT is displayed.

  • Open the cover: Allow heat to escape and let the water cool naturally.
  • Check filtration cycles: Reduce filtration or circulation run times during very hot weather to limit heat gain.
  • Verify sensor placement: Ensure sensors are properly seated in the heater manifold and not exposed to localized hot spots.
  • After cooling: Once water temperature drops, HOT should clear automatically. If it does not, inspect sensors and control pack.
