There are times when you’ll need to turn your hot tub off. Some of these are easy to predict and some depend on how often you’ll be using your tub at different times of the year. As mentioned previously Hot tubs need to be drained regularly – we recommend every 3 months for domestic tubs and typically more often for those in holiday lets etc. here

Good quality hot tubs have insulating side panels and covers so that as much heat as possible is kept in the water. They also have more effective heating elements which reduce the time and energy required to add heat when necessary. more

If you’re going to be away from home for some time – perhaps you’re lucky enough to have a house where you spend the summer – then you’ll want to consider turning your Hot Tub off when you go. Much like those who decide not to use their tub in the winter you’ll need to leave your tub empty and protected from the elements.

The good news is that hot tubs are designed to be left on, so they have many features which help them to maintain their temperature and therefore reduce running costs. This is where you’ll see a big difference between the performance of a high-quality tub and a cheap one. Tubs which are cheap to buy initially will often have much higher running costs in the long run as they’re inefficient. here

Heating up a large volume of water takes time (see how long does it take to heat a hot tub?) and energy. It’s much more economical to maintain your tub’s temperature rather than heating it from scratch each time. If you had to heat up your Hot Tub from cold each time you wanted to use it this would have a dramatic impact on your hot tub running costs. You would also spend a lot of time sitting around waiting for it to heat up! more

Many hot tub heater issues are signs of inappropriate levels of air/water in the spa or a problem with filtration. Often, the situation is easily remedied.

Spa cover has shifted. Reposition the cover to be sure it’s fully covering the tub. [links]

In order for the heater to work properly, it needs adequate water flow from the spa. Ensure the water level is at least one inch higher than the highest jets (excluding neck and shoulder massage jets) to avoid low-flow-related damage to the heater.

Stay out of the water and power off the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Make sure: more

And the natural process is the water draws the heat away from the equipment, keeping the equipment running cool, but in the meantime the temperature of the water does go up.

So the first thing that we recommend doing, is to turn down the filtration cycle by one hour per cycle. So when you go into the filtration settings, there’s two settings. There’s the FD, which stands for filtration duration, and then there’s also the FF which stands for filtration frequency. So, the one that we want to adjust is the FD. So the FD instead of being 2, where we normally have it set at, meaning that 2 hours for each filtration cycle, we’re going to adjust it to 1. [links]

So every once in a while during the summer, we get customers that call up and say that their spa is overheating. So the first thing to remember is that the Arctic Spa is designed to utilize the excess heat from the motors to heat the water. So as we go through that filtration cycle, that motor is going to be running and it’s gonna be generating heat.

[nephishe]

So when it gets really warm during the summer, sometimes you run into where it’s actually going hotter than what you want it to be. The other thing to keep in mind is that the Arctic Spa’s really designed to run at 100 degrees or above. So if you’re trying to run it down into the 90 degree range, the Arctic Spa just is simply not designed to be able to maintain that temperature, especially when it’s 100 degrees outside, or something like that. more

I just purchased a new blower, and it also runs 5 minutes and shuts off. Darn it.

[thomas66mccoy]

Any ideas on this? I can't figure anything out.

1. Most of us here who've worked in service over the years have learned the hard way to NEVER assume that "it" (whatever "it" is) works probably, just because it's new. [links]
