If you do not get a light showing on the topside panel indicating it is heating the first thing to check is the filters. Remove them even if they are new. If the problem persists then check to make sure both valves are completely open on either side of the pump so you have not restricted the waterflow.If the valves are open and the filters are removed and the heat indicator light still does NOT come on then you most likely have a bad pressure switch and should be changed.there are a couple of other things that would cause a hot tub NOT to heat but that is the starting place for you.

SOURCE: I have a new Jacuzzi

The bath heater you have is not designed to HEAT water - they only Maintain what you start with.
You need to start the bathtub with the hot water you want. It will only heat about 1-2 degrees an hour.

SOURCE: I just installed a new whirlpool jacuzzi tub with

if the light on the heater is not coming on when the tub is full of water and the pump is on then the heater is not working.
check the circuit breaker to make sure it is on.
the heater and the pump cannot be on the same circuit. They have to be on separate circuits.
Make sure they are on separate circuits.
Check to make sure you have the heater installed in the correct place.
there is a pressure heater that mounts anywhere after the discharge of the pump.
there is a vacuum heater that mounts in front of the pump in the suction line.
if you put on or the other in the wrong place it will never come on.

Circuit braker keep popping

Sounds like the heating element has gone out again. Once you reset the circuit breaker and the tub turns on it will start to circulate the water. This usually runs like this for about 2 mins and then the tub will recognize it is cold and send power to the heater. If the element is back at that point it will blow the circuit breaker.
If this circuit breaker pops as soon as you turn it on then you most likely have a bad circuit board.

Jacuzzi hot tub, Water is too hot. Heats until it trips the system. I have replaced the analog temperature control,

1) Safety question first
Why hasn't the GFCI tripped.
If your spa is not protected by ground fault., then you are at serious personal risk.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-GFCI.html#arc-fault

2) Replace the element.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-test-water-heater-element.html

3) If element is cracked, it can continue heating to ground wire, causing runaway heating.
This applies to spas, and water heaters of all type.

The water will not heat up. How can I trouble

the last time I looked at heaters for jacuzzi tubs they are designed to keep the water at the temperature you filled the tub and not heat up the water from cold to hot.

Water not heating

It sounds like your inline heater has stopped working. The only way to test it is to drain the water back out, remove the inline heater, and hook power to it to see if it heats up.

If it doesn't you can get one at a discount supply house (like Home Depot or Lowes) for less than $150.

Jacuzzi not so cuzzi. Could it be just the heater?

There are usually two breakers for a hot tub. One sends power to the heater and another sends power to the big pump.

Be sure both breakers are turned all the way too off and then turn them to on. Next look for a reset button on inside of the jacuzzi which may have to be reset.

good luck

Jacuzzi Hot Water Heating Capacity

Depending on how you heat the hot water, whether gas or electric, is a missing detail in your problem, but if it is electric then your problem is the size, being only 40 gal, and needing probably about that to fill the tub, will always lead to your current position.
If the hot water heater is gas, the chances of it keeping up are slightly better, but again things like the temperature of the water leaving the tank, any mixing valves, etc. will effect the water temp at your tub.  Before raising any temps, make sure you follow local code, as not to scald yourself or others.
