Well first the manual should say what a error 96 is but i'll save you the trouble , the control is saying heater failure as the water should never be 143 degrees this would burn/kill you if you got in , id look at temperature probe 1st (its in pipe right past the heater ) and next id look at control itself , sometimes water intrusion dammage in controller makes for some "funny" and wrong things to happen

SOURCE: QCA Opal hot tub display reading OH.

The tub experienced an overheat situation. This may be due to leaving the t stat turned all the way up and not monitoring or the hi-limit sensor is defective. The hi-limit sensor will shut down the heating cicuit if temp gets above 105 D optimally.the fact that the heater light is on is a good sign that things are working at this point.Whether or not a suitable temp(100-103 D) will be arrived at is to be seen. If spa heat kicks off before set temp is reached then replace hi-limit sensor.

It sounds like your circulation pump is not keeping up with the heater. Check for debris in the pump impeller. If this is 24 hour circulation pump, it is probably failing. New units are about $200 US

Since the blower simply takes air from inside the spa cabinet and blows it into the spa, the only solution is to get a heated blower, or insulate the interior of your spa cabinet better.

If the water pump is not circulating water you will want to do a simple procedure called "turning the impeller" You can call 888-997-6366 to be walked through this procedure over the phone.

Intex hot tub spa has been working great but now will only run 5 minutes then shuts down. I changed filters but doesn't help.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks.

It could be many things, but one of them is not the filters :>D The heater or the Pump, or the Control Gear / GFCI.

Intex PureSpa partially deflating then turning off completely And refusing to turn back on when I try to heat it.

There is a PRCD safety device that shuts the unit down if a fault electric current is detected. The device trips if water gets to locations that could cause electrocution. When it dries out it works and then stops when it gets wet. You need to check for air leaks using soapy water in a spray bottle.

Error code 90 on my Intex spa even after buying and replacing new pump . Checked for blockages but everything is clear. Got clean water in and new filter.

The E90 code on the Intex spa is due to a dirty water flow sensor. ... The black wire is plugged into a white wire, carefully unplug it and unscrew the sensor. Clean it good and blow out the hole it goes in. This will fix the code and you will be back in business https://www.justanswer.com/pool-and-spa/ap9qh-i-m-having-error-code-90-intex-hot-tub-intex.html

What does the E6 error mean

Hi Cheyenne,

Most of the time an E6 error code refers to a restriction of water in your power pack. When you don't have enough water flow the power pack shuts itself down so it does not over heat.

Possible reasons are dirty filters, air locks, restrictions of water flow,

Solutions are to make sure your water flow is as best as possible, clean your filters often, remove debris from your hot tub, and remove air locks from your power pack.

What does SPH MEAN?

When you have an SPH error it means you could have an over heated power pack, or you have a water flow issue, or possible damaged equipment. Here is the three trouble shooting items you can look for.

1. Your water temperature is lower then 60 degrees (Turn the unit off and let it cool down and then turn it back on, this may fix the issue)
2. Your water inlet or outlet is blocked or partially blocked (Clean the inlet and outlet of the hot tub)
3. Your heater sensor is not working (you may have to replace the heater element or circuit board)

Balboa vs500

Your economy spa is equipped with a hot stick. This "hot stick" is nothing more than a PVC manifold that forces the water through multiple 1/2" ports that creates enough friction for the water to heat itself. YOUR HOT TUB HAS NO HEATER. The benefit is that there is no heating element to corrode and replace. The down side is that it takes quite awhile to heat the water. If you start with water that is 55-60 degrees it will easily take 48 hours to hit 100 degrees. Keep in mind that is dependent on the outside air temperature. Good luck with that!

QCA Dream Series, Mystic SPA. Drained, cleaned and re-filled. Following power restore (and 5 min or so prime cycle), the the pump runs continuously at low speed - it NEVER stops. Everything else works fine...

After refiling a spa, typicall the water is below 50 degrees F. Spas have a freeze protection in their programming so that when the water is that cold, the pumps run constantly to keep it from freezing. It will correct itself

Panel reads HHO-----, no temperature display until activate jets, then shows a temperature drop sometimes down to 65 degrees ,then starts heating upwith jets going

"OH" is an overheat error. In normal function, it is used as a safety shut off if the spa water temperature reaches over 110 degrees in the event of a thermostat failure. But more commonly, (if the water temp hasn't gotten too hot) it indicates that the temp sensor(s) have failed. If you have a digital display on the topside controller of your spa, then it is a circuit board controlled spa pack. Most spa builders use the same control pack manufacturer - Balboa Watergroup. The sensor kit usually consists of 2 probes and wires that plug directly onto the circuit board. Depending on the spa, they could both be located onto the heater manifold, or one on the manifold and one mounted to the tub making direct contact with the water via a thru-wall sensor mount. If I knew the spa manufacturer, I could further assist you. If you replace the sensors, and encounter the same problem... then the circuit board is bad, and usually a costly replacement. The sensors are usually listed as a "BA sensor assy" Hope this helps you,
