Why does my hot tub not shut off?
If a hot tub is continuously shutting off, it is likely it is tripping the breaker. There are 7 common causes that cause this to happen including a worn GFCI Breaker, moisture in the breaker box, corrosion, loose or damaged wires, faulting components, a bad heating element, or a flooded air blower or ozonator.
Is a hot tub supposed to run all the time?
One question we sometimes get asked is should I leave my hot tub on all the time? The answer is yes! Hot tubs are designed to be left on permanently and this is how they work best. Of course, they’ll need to be drained regularly but for the most part, they are left on 24/7.
What to do when your hot tub is not in use?
Always keep your hot tub covered when not in use to keep debris out and to more efficiently maintain water temperature. Keep detergents and soaps out of your spa by showering with water only before getting into the hot tub.
What happens if you shut off the hot tub pump?
If you are draining the hot tub to move it, close it down for the season, or completely changing out the water you can shut off the power at the breaker. The circulation pump will have no water to pump and you do not want to pump air with leaves or other debris that may enter your pump system while the hot tub is empty.
Why does my hot tub keep running all night?
If perhaps the jets were running while the cover was closed for a relatively long period of time, that can over heat the tub too from the friction of the water rushing through the pipes. If the heating red light shut off at 100F, but the temp is still rising, you have a bad circuit board.
What to do if your Bullfrog hot tub is not working?

How often should I Turn Off my hot tub?
If you use your hot tub every 12 hours (say before you go to work and before you got to bed), judicious use of your hot tub cover and thermal blanket may allow you to turn off the hot tub while you’re away. If you only use your hot tub once a day or less, the cost of reheating the water may exceed any benefit of turning off the hot tub.
