Possible Causes

Sensor not fully immersed in water flow, Sensor moved away from heater tube, Air pocket around sensor, Aging NTC sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the spa before adjusting sensor placement.

  • Verify with thermometer: Use an external thermometer to measure actual water temperature and compare to display.
  • Check sensor location: Ensure the MSPA temperature sensor is properly clamped to the heater tube or located in the correct well where water flows.
  • Eliminate air pockets: Bleed air from the system by running filtration and gently rocking the spa.
  • Replace sensor if needed: If readings remain consistently off by more than 2–3°C, replace the MSPA NTC temperature sensor.
