Qca Spas Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Question moved from Cars and Trucks.Does the pump motor have a control board that is not on the main spa board? Sometimes they are on the motor, sometimes not.'Full 'make model (what it is)' in all questions please as first three words.

If you ran it without water. It's trashed. No pump or heater is ever to be tested dry!

the code might be FLO and could be the circulation pump has debris in the impeller so when idling it should have pretty good flow coming out of the jet the heater uses. other common failures with heat are the pressure switch seen pictured. let me know and pictures help me help u

drop the temperature all the way down and turn on unit like you would normally do [but depending on amount of time the product needs to circulate may need to turn on a few times ] or reset set the filter time for longer

didnt specify if you had a 4 8 or 10 button panel your unit is locked the only control that will work is temperature your owners manual has how to unlock it under side panel the following link is for an 8 button panel and the instructions are on page 6 http://qcaspas.com/media/pdf/Jewelp3-8Btn.pdf

Drain the water weekly. IF you really want to dish out the money you can get an Ultraviolet sanitizer or even an ozone generator but those are made to work with chemicas like chlorine or bromine, not stand alone, also for pools. And even then you would have to manage the ph somehow and that can only be done by replacing water or some kind of acid. Chlorine tabs now a days usually take care of both trichlor being slightly acidic for such a small body of water takes care of both. If you have some kind of chlorine smell from your spa and you are not sitting right next to a chlorine floater then you have a problem with the chemical balance and is a byproduct of chloramines.

Can't find the type of probe or even a picture of it, so if you could Look for it and if it looks like the first probe then you can turn that little nut to calibrate it usually. If the second then you either need to calibrate it within the spa controls or even might need to replace it.

You need to make sure that it is a real GFCI and not a spark detection fault interrupter. When the pump is turned all the way up it may be causing a large spark that the SGCFI is detecting. If it is not that then there is a parasitic floating fault that is causing the issue.

Don't think that's an error message? Could be letting you know heat is bypassed for Max setting?

If the water flow according to each pumps spec's match up and the plumbing lines up, with little or no modification, then all is good. but... remember this, if the water flow does (GPM's) not matchup, you will ever overdrive your hydraulics system causing premature leaking, or if undersized, your jet action will be diminished! you can find this information by obtaining the "Pump Curve" chart from each pump manufacturer. btw... The numbers you provided don't help much. Make and model name of each pump??

That is in your manual. Not all are the same and we do not know what you have,

pressure tap on pressure switch or you might have air in lines

sounds like the recirculation pump is overheating and tripping the breaker if the pump is ok could be heating element shorting out

check fuses and your connections

bad motor or if it pops breaker disconnect the heater leads remember where they go try it again if it runs bad heater element

IF YOUR GETTING A CODE TAKE SCREWDRIVER AND TURN SCREW ON SWITCH CLOCKWISE

That doesn't sound good, is it 110 volts or 220? if it is 220 you can not wire it backwards. the hum might be that there is not enough power to turn it over. it could be a loose wire, bad connection, or a bad start run capacitor. if it is a capacitor it is located under the hump cover on the motor.

You can find a copy of the Leisure Bay hot tub owners manual on The Cover Guy website. We also have a guide for error codes and information relating to Leisure Bay hot tubs. Leisure Bay Spas Hot Tubs Information

If you are experiencing a relay problem on the circuit board of the hot tub, then it is best replace the complete circuit board. There are relays that you can solder on but unless you are very familiar with this process we would not recommend it. US Parts Center
