When to replace a hot tub flow filter?
After 20 minutes, switch the power back on and run the spa/jets without the filters to see if it clears the flow issue. If the flow clears, switch off the power again, replace the filter and then switch on the power. Then, if the flow issue returns you know the issue is with the filter and it will need replacing.
Is it OK to turn off a flow switch in a hot tub?
Always turn the spa off before working on it. The electrical current in a hot tub or spa can cause injury or electrocution. Troubleshooting a flow switch can keep your hot tub or spa running. Flow switches are used in spas and hot tubs to tell the system to turn on and off.
When to replace the pressure switch on a hot tub?
Generally, if the pressure switch cannot be adjusted, it may need to be replaced – unless the problem is with the circuit board. The spa tech will start by using an ohmmeter (with the entire spa powered off) and will remove the 1 of the pressure switch wires. Then measure across the 2 terminals on the pressure switch.
What’s the difference between Flo and FLC on a hot tub?
They’ll come off your top side display. One error code is FLO. The other one is FLC. Flow switch open, flow switch closed. The purpose of your pressure switch is to measure pressure in the line when your pump is running. So your pump comes on low speed.
What does a flow switch on a hot tub do?
Flow switch open, flow switch closed. The purpose of your pressure switch is to measure pressure in the line when your pump is running. So your pump comes on low speed. This switch has a diaphragm side of it which is going to go up, close the contact between these two points.
After 20 minutes, switch the power back on and run the spa/jets without the filters to see if it clears the flow issue. If the flow clears, switch off the power again, replace the filter and then switch on the power. Then, if the flow issue returns you know the issue is with the filter and it will need replacing.

What should I do if my hot tub is not flowing?
Switch off the power and remove the filters. After 20 minutes, switch the power back on and run the spa/jets without the filters to see if it clears the flow issue. If the flow clears, switch off the power again, replace the filter and then switch on the power.
