It’s a sunny day and you’re about to take a relaxing dip
in your hot tub. Just as you turn it on you notice that the hot tub heater isn’t
working correctly. It heats up with no problem but then seems to just die out and
begins to cool cools off. Or you turn it
on and nothing happens. The hardest problem to diagnose is hot tub temperatures
that go up and down. Before you pick up the phone to call your hot tub
repairmen, here are a couple of common issues that you can look into.
The first thing that you should check if your hot tub
isn’t staying hot is your filters to make sure there are no clogs. While we all mean well, cleaning the filters
and removing leaves etc… doesn’t always make our To-Do list.
Checking the thermostat and any heat sensors on your
tub should be your next step. If they aren’t working properly, they will send
the wrong signals to the heater. Water circulation can be another problem. You should also check to make sure that that something
isn’t preventing the water from circulating properly in your hot tub preventing
it from heating properly and cooling while you’re in it.
Another reason that your hot tub is not heating is
that the heating element is broken. If this occurs, you should turn off the hot
tub immediately and call in a professional or risk causing more damage.
Finally
fluctuating temperatures has to be the hardest hot tub problem to diagnose and
repair. You turn on your hot tub and hop in your hot tub water and the water is
freezing five minutes later. And then the water is boiling five minutes later. A temperature sensor that is wearing out is
the typical culprit but sometimes a bad thermostat or even a clogged filter can
cause the problem.
Troubleshooting
your hot tub heater issues isn’t always straightforward, but you can save time
and money if you can determine your hot tub issues.
