What do you do when your hot tub heater is dry?
Although safety sensors are supposed to detect a dry condition and shut off the heater, be sure to manually disconnect power to the pump and heater before troubleshooting the unit. First, check the water level in the tub. If the water is low, add water to the proper level and try restarting the pump and heater.
Can a temperature sensor be replaced in a hot tub?
This may lead to unpredictable temperature accuracy. These sensors can also be difficult to replace. (If you ever need to replace a temperature sensor in a thermowell mounted to the spa shell, the rear of the sensor will need to be foamed back in after replacement to avoid incorrect readings from the cabinet temperature).
What to do if your spa has a sensor balance error?
Step 10: Once the spa has been powered up and running for a few minutes, there should be no more sensor balance error codes displayed. If the Sensor Balance Error continues, please contact us at 1- (877)-347-7727 or create a Support Ticket by clicking HERE to inquire about further assistance.
What causes a fault message on a hot tub sensor?
During the heater startup process, fault message will appear if the temperature differnce between the 2 sensors is greater than 2 degrees F. The error codes SnS or Sn may be displaying the sensor error. During actual heating, a difference of 3 degrees F or below, between the 2 sensors is considered normal.
What to do if your hot tub has an error code?
If however you have the fault then the first thing to do is shut the spa down, do not empty, remove the filter and make sure all the jets are open (as best you can). Then re-start the hot tub, if the error code goes away, the problem was either a dirty filter (clean or replace) or too many jets were closed off.
Can a bad temp sensor cause a spa to stop working?
Another issue that comes up and is an indication of a bad temp sensor is the temperature reading becomes inaccurate or the spa is going into the OH error code. If you power the spa down and power it back up it may work for a while but will do the same thing again. You need to replace the Temp Sensor.

When to use Spa when temperature is flashing?
Do not use spa when temperature is flashing or the OH message is displayed. HLoH = Hi Limit Over Heat. Hi limit sensor is disconnected or shorted or the spa temperature is above 112° F. SEoP = Sensor open or disconnected. Heater disabled but the spa is operational. SESH = Sensor short, nonfunctional.
