Spa Not Heating is one of the more common calls we get from Julian homeowners. A spa that will not warm up usually traces to a stuck diverter valve, a heater fault, or an automation setting.

  • Low flow tripping the heater high-limit
  • A failed actuator on the spa return valve

What to check before you call

  • Listen for the diverter valve turning when spa mode starts
  • Check the heater for an error code
  • Confirm the pump is running at a heat-capable speed
