DRAINING AND REFILLING BALBOA HOT TUB

SOURCE: our artic spa hot-tub is showing HL in the panel

HL is normally a "high limit" fault. If your filter is clean and you have sufficient flow, you may have a faulty high limit sensor. It should be mounted on the heater itself. The high limit sensor shuts the heater off if it senses excessively hot water. Check to see that you have sufficient flow, clean the filter, and make sure the filter pump is running. If everything else is running properly, you may have to replace the high limit sensor.

When you drain and refill most spas you will get an air lock in the plumbing. You will need to find the drain valve and open it to flood the pipes. It's possible you may have burnt the element and may have to replace it. Hopefully the breaker kicking spared you this expense. Myself I burnt two of them before I learned. Good luck.

If the cover and doors are on and everything is working then it should take no longer than about 8 hours.
It could be something simple like the heater is unplugged, or more complex like an airlock or faulty pump motor.

Hi!!
If the motor does not run, the water will not circulate and wont't get hot. I don't believe the wiring or breaker are at fault either, just to be on the safe side, check for tight connections all around, specially the ones coming from the breaker to the motor.
The problem with the motor is that is not getting enough juice to start up, so the start capacitor is most likely to be at fault and needs to be checked, if you don't have a multimeter with the capacitance function, just remove the capacitor and have it checked at the store. You can get capacitors at any appliance parts, electrical and most hardware stores. You can also get a motor start up kit for under $15 to solve this problem. Wiring instructions are included.
The capacitor is usually located on top of the motor, remove the metal casing to access it, before removal, take a picture of the wiring so you can hook it up the same way.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa!!
