Is the hot tub still working after unwinterization?
At the time that we bought it, the hot tub appeared to work and heat up properly. However, now that we’ve unwinterized it and tried to use it, it no longer heats up and the water temperature stays at 70 F. The power to the hottub works ok and the jets, light and control panel all seem to work ok.

Why does my hot tub keep burning out?
This means there is an issue with water flow, and not enough water is passing through the heater. As a safety feature, the heater should be designed to cut out so it doesn’t burn out. There are a few possible solutions that you can try to fix your hot tub if you have a water flow or circulation problem. A few of them are very simple.
