Hot tub wont power on?

Question

We purchased a home in feb and with it came a hot tub. We cleaned the filter and fille dit up and it was great for like 3 days. one day we go to start it up and it flashes FLO and TEMP of and on. the next time we turn it on, no power.

What should I check?

Answer 1

Yes check to mak sure the GFI has not tripped.  Next check the sc-25(Orange) or sc-30(Green) fuse or fuses and replace and the power will at least come back on.  Next see if it has door magnets, (very very few do anymore) and they make contact.  After that take out your filters and turn the power off then on.  If the FLO message is still there then have someone "jump" the pressure switch. (most likely the case for the "FLO" message, since they fail often since it's made of rubber)  If it is still there you need to replace your circuit board which in some cases can be extremely expensive.

It's that simple.  If you get into trouble feel free to email or call.

Answer 2

fuse? that's what was wrong with mine.

Answer 3

check the access door . there is a safty switch there that has to be alined or it will not turn on . it looks like a magnet

Answer 4

Every tub installed in the U.S. within the last eight years should have had a GFI circuit breaker installed.  Sounds like one leg has died.  Have an electrician check the power in the box in the base of the tub.

If you did not get all the air out of the system when you filled it, you could have burned out the heater.  Look for a small valve that lets air out, then check the electricity.
