Possible Causes

Very low water temperature, Sensor reading below safe threshold, Outdoor freezing conditions, Sensor miscalibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Protect the spa from freezing damage. Do not drain in freezing weather unless you fully winterize.

  • Step 1 – Verify actual temperature: Use a separate thermometer to confirm water temperature. If it is near freezing, allow the spa to run; the system is protecting itself.
  • Step 2 – Check cover and insulation: Ensure the Vita Spa cover is closed and in good condition to retain heat.
  • Step 3 – Sensor check: If the water is warm but COL is displayed, inspect and test the temperature sensor for calibration issues and replace if necessary.
  • Step 4 – Run pumps: Keep circulation and jet pumps running periodically to prevent localized freezing in plumbing.
