Jacuzzi
Low Flow at Reduced Pump Speed
Jacuzzi pool heater starts normally but shuts off when the pump speed is reduced (variable-speed pump systems).

Possible Causes
Pump speed set below heater’s minimum flow requirement, Oversized bypass around heater, Sensitive pressure or flow switch setting
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power to the heater before adjusting internal switches; pump programming can be done with power on.
Steps to correct low-flow shutdowns:
- Review pump programming: Increase the minimum RPM during heating cycles to meet Jacuzzi’s required flow rate.
- Adjust bypass valves: Reduce bypass flow so more water passes through the heater, but do not fully close a manufacturer-required bypass.
- Check pressure/flow switch: Some switches are adjustable; a qualified technician can fine-tune the setting so the heater remains on at normal low-speed flow.
