That would just be the start of what could be wrong with alot of the hot spring models there can be many reason for that to start it could b your control t-stat also the hi limit sensor could cuase that promblem two both of these are a simple fix it also depends on how old the spa is an what style of heater is in it. that brand came out with a new heater almost every year an both of the sensors will be screwed into the outlet side of the heater an they can be replced w/out empting the spa also wath out for hotspring spas frm 2004-2006 cause in 90% of them the heater board traces on the back of the the heaters on n off relay switch are bad an will burn up seem it to the point where its melted the entir control box along w/the circuit board.The most unlikley thing that can cause that problem can some times be the alternate comtrol panel not the main one water can get behind them an short then out an this will make the main board do some strange things such as what is wrong w/yours

It could be two things, first is the flow sensor, if it is bad the tub will shut off as it does not detect water flow and is protecting the pump(s). The other thing is the temp sensor, if it is bad, it senses the tub is to hot and shuts down so to protect the bathers from being burned. Both are are to check without the proper training and tools, find a good hot tub technician, it will run in the hundreds for testing and parts.

Lasco jet tub no power when pushing off/on button. The motor is good. This tub doesn’t have air controls it has low voltage lines coming out of the button

Ok, if this is a heated tub then it is possible that it works off of 220-240 Volts AC. Either you have a disconnect close to or connected to the tub, or it may be wired directly to the main home panel. One side of the 220 volts circuit breaker may be tripped. (being that what makes up 220 volts is two lines of 120) Your circuit breaker may look like it is not in the tripped position, so shut off the circuit breakers then turn them back on again and see if that may have helped.

Glacier bay faucet manual

Contact glacier bay to get a replacement control/handle assembly. Usually their customer service department is good at replacing the parts under warranty

You should have individual cold & hot water supply shut-offs in your basement for your tub/shower; if not, now's the time to install them.

If I could be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hot tub won't start

More info needed.


I have had many hot tubs and had to fix them all.

First check:Plugged in, right?Is the GFI tripped?

Is there power on the HT control panel? little red or green lights, lcd display info, anything? Look up any codes you find.

After that little inspection, a number of things can go wrong. First Unplug the unit, then Open her up and look for any sort of anomaly. Photograph and post what you find.

Gfi Breaker 2 Pole 20 Amp: installed 20 amp dbl pole breaker to hot tub. Keep...

When Working with Household Electricity you want to always keep in mind that the BLACK wire ALWAYS carries DEATH. What I mean by this is that working with a Single Phase Circuit (one that uses 120VAC) the only wire that should be carrying a voltage is the BLACK one, the other 2 wires (typically the White Neutral and Green Ground) should both be electrically connected to Earth Ground (usually by being attached to your water pipe.)

It is also possible that your hot tub may use more than 20 Amps.

120v hot tub wiring diagram! Need to wire fro 120v! there is a red, white, black & green to connect the wire from the power plug. The power cord only has black, white & green. Which is the hot and...

I would expect your tub is either 110 or 220. Currently you are set up for 110. Based on that ... you disregard the red wire.

If your tub can run on 220, you should run it on 220 as this is more economical.

You should probably have an electrician check this out and make any changes to assure proper and SAFE operation of your tub. You are using a GFI, correct?

2000 Hot Springs Hot Tub hose came loose

this may be for the ozone the other end maybe up toward the top maybe part of a double loop.hose is black or clear but with yellowish tint. this would only leak if the tub is off or clogged up filter, also during filling and draining. plug off hose and refill tub with water once full turn on. if this is for ozone it will draw air into line once you turn it on. if thats it need new check valve in line also.

No jet flow hot springs highlife 1990

you might have an air lock, when you first start filling the spa, start the water running in the skimmer first. that should force air out of the pump and should pick up prime right away. if not, you may have a valve problem.
