How to unlock a hot spring portable spa?
To unlock your Hot Spring spa controls, first locate the control panel’s lock button or combination (often holding ‘Jets’ and ‘Light’ buttons for 5 seconds). This disables the control lock feature. If unavailable, power cycle the spa by turning off the breaker for 30 seconds, then restart. Simply reset by pressing the big red button on your spa pack. The high limit switch may be housed in a thermowell. If the water temperature in the thermowell is the same as the water temperature in the rest of the spa, the switch is damaged and needs to be replaced.There are generally two hard resets in hot tubs: the GFCI and the high limit reset. There is no reset button on the pump itself. The reset button is typically found on the spa pack – the unit that manages all the operations of your hot tub, including heating and filtration schedules, as well as controlling the pump.
How to start a hot spring spa?
Once the spa is filled with water, turn the power on (see spa Owner’s Manual for specific instructions based on the voltage of your hot tub). Set the temperature to your desired level (at least 95 degrees Fahrenheit) and turn off the salt system by setting the output level to zero (recommended). Tip: Use your hot tub’s economy or sleep mode if available. These energy-saving settings help maintain lower temps without using as much power.While your hot tub is in sleep mode (or ‘SL’ & SLP mode on some models), the jets will operate occasionally to filter the water. In sleep mode, your hot tub’s heater will usually only kick on once the temperature dips below 20 degrees of the set temperature.
Why is my Hot Springs spa not heating?
Why is my spa not heating? Make sure: The water is at a level which covers all of the jets as this affects the water flow through the heater. The filter has been cleaned within the last four weeks by soaking it in BEAR STRIP FILTER CLEAN and that filter is not older than 18 months. Look for signs of frayed, chewed, or burned wires, and make sure there is power coming to the heater. If you notice the coating around the filament of the heating element has any cracks or chips, replace the element. DIY TIP: Rule out power problems by testing for voltage coming into your spa pack.
How long does it take for a hot spring hot tub to heat up?
The spa temperature is pre-programmed to reach 100F (39°C), and will normally do so within 18 to 24 hours. You may raise the water temperature to your desired degree. After a few hours, the water temperature will remain within 3ËšF (1. C) of your selected temperature. We recommend heating the hot tub to around 35 degrees in the summer months. In the winter, you can keep the temperature a bit higher, namely around 38 degrees. A thermometer is the best way to closely monitor the temperature whilst heating up the hot tub water.Here’s the best answer we can give you: A hot tub’s temperature will increase between 5-10F degrees per hour. For most hot tubs, that means it will take between 3-8 hours to heat it up.
