6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT
a. Make sure that the hydrotherapy spa is fully
covered with the spa cover. The spa cover
must be tight for the water to heat. Set the
air control to low. Set the temperature to the
desired setting. The water will heat at a rate of
2.0°F (1°C) an hour. If you are using the spa
indoors, and the room temperature is main-
tained at 70°F (21°C), it will take approximately
24 to 36 hours for the water to reach the set
temperature.
b. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa outdoors,
it may take longer for the water to heat. See
the chart below for the approximate heating
time.
Air
Temperature Heating Time
70°F+ (21°C+) 24 to 36 hours
50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C) 2 to 3 days
30°F to 50°F (1°C to 10°C) 3 to 4 days
b. If the water still has not heated after four days,
contact our customer service department or, if
your spa is no longer under warranty, you may
also contact a local spa and pool service
provider.
c. If actual water temperature is lower that the set
temperature, and the Heat On LED indicator on
the console is not lit, contact our customer ser-
vice department. If your spa is no longer under
warranty, contact a local spa and pool service
provider.
