Possible Causes
Undersized heater for ambient conditions, Heat loss through poorly insulated cover, Partially scaled heater element, Circulation pump not running continuously
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure water chemistry is balanced to prevent scaling and corrosion.
- Step 1 – Verify heater rating: Confirm your Vita Spa is configured for the correct heater wattage and supply voltage (e.g., 240V for full output).
- Step 2 – Check cover and insulation: Inspect the spa cover for waterlogging, tears, or poor seal. Replace if heavy or damaged. Ensure side panels and insulation are intact.
- Step 3 – Circulation: Confirm the circulation pump runs as programmed and that filters are clean to maximize heat transfer.
- Step 4 – Descale heater: If you have very hard water and poor maintenance history, the heater may be scaled internally. Replacement is usually more practical than cleaning.
