Spa Not Heating in Bonsall, CA
When a Bonsall pool has an attached spa that will not heat, the fix is usually straightforward once the cause is found. A spa that will not warm up usually traces to a stuck diverter valve, a heater fault, or an automation setting. Bonsall runs on Rainbow Municipal Water District at 14-18 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means aggressive calcium scaling from nearly pure Colorado River water eating away at plaster, tile, and pump seals, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. Call and we will connect you with a Bonsall pool pro who finds the real cause, not a guess.
