Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my spa not heating?
Your water level may not be at the required height
Your filter may be old or dirty - remove and see if the heater engages
You may have too many jets in the off position - open jets and see if the heater engages
Why is my spa getting noisy?
As the pump in a spa ages the bearing start going out and this creates additional noise - time to replace your pump and enjoy quiet relaxation.
You may also hear noise if your water level is too low and the filter/skimmer is sucking in air - raise the water level to fix this issue.
Why are there ball bearings floating around in my spa?
Jet inserts that spin have little ball bearings in them and when the jet ages they will fall out and the jet will no longer spin - time for new jet inserts.
How often should I clean my filter?
A filter should be removed and rinsed once per month and deep cleaned in a filter solution each time you replace the water.
How often should I replace my filter?

A quality spa will last 20 plus years with proper care and maintenance. You will have repairs on equipment through the years but a quality built spa will last a long time.
