How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure all pumps and heater are protected from freezing conditions.

  • Verify actual water temperature:
    • Use an external thermometer to confirm water temperature.
  • Allow spa to warm:
    • If spa was just refilled with cold water, allow time for gradual heating.
  • Check sensor accuracy:
    • If display shows much colder than actual, inspect and test the temperature sensor.
    • Replace sensor if readings are inaccurate.
  • Ensure circulation:
    • Confirm that circulation pump runs during freeze protection to prevent damage.
