What is cupro nickel heat exchanger?
Cupronickel or copper-nickel (CuNi) is an alloy of copper that contains nickel and strengthening elements, such as iron and manganese. Cupronickel is highly resistant to corrosion by salt water, and is therefore used for piping, heat exchangers and condensers in seawater systems, as well as for marine hardware.

2) If three lockouts occur in one heat demand, control goes into “hard lockout” and power must be removed and re-applied to reset. Your heater is equipped with a microprocessor-controlled thermostat that controls the pool or spa temperature by measuring the temperature of the water coming back through the heater.
What happens if I run my hot tub without the spa filter?
There are situations when you want to briefly test the system without the spa filter cartridge in place, to see if the heater will come on with the filter removed, for example. But running the pump for long periods of time without the filter could lead to clogged pump impellers, and rapid water quality problems.
Is it good to keep your hot tub running?
Once the hot tub’s water has been heated up to the desired temperature, you can actually save money and energy by maintaining that temperature since reheating the water from scratch each time costs more. Even if you’re only going to use your spa once per week, it should still run constantly.
