Want to fix your hot tub? Why isn't your spa heater working? Why is the gfi breaker flipping? Why is your spa water dirty? These questions and more answered below. Troubleshoot a spa problem!

 

We are Carolina Spa Repair and

we Specialize Exclusively in Fixing Spas!

 

 

We are a Company that exclusively specializes in Spa Repairs. We aren't juggling two jobs or focusing on sales and ignoring the repairs until sales are slow. We Fix Spas! We currently provide service & Repair to 31 Major Manufacturers. Call today to see if we can help repair your spa at little or no cost to you under our warranty program. We have special pre-negotiated discount rates for nearly all major manufacturers.

 

Our Tech Department is staffed by Spa Repair Professionals with decades of combined experience and are able to provide support to our Field Technicians Monday through Saturday from 7am to 7pm. We have multiple field offices and each is properly Licensed & Insured. Our Parent Company has sufficient Liability Insurance to protect all authorized  work completed. It is very important to deal with someone that Repairs Hot Tubs as their Primary Business. There are hundreds of different types of spas being sold each year with one to ten new manufacturers starting each and every year (probably double that are closing their doors each year) =(. Now think about the fact hot tubs have been mass marketed and sold for the past 54 years. There are thousands and thousands of different types of spas on the market! How can anyone attempt to know everything there is to know about every spa out there? Especially if they cut wood or wash windows or rake yards as a general handyman to make ends meet? You hire a general handy man to do general work. DO NOT trust anyone to work on something that could KILL your family if they make one mistake!

 

There are a lot of components on a spa that can HURT OCCUPANTS if improperly installed. Do you want to risk a fire? or, harm to your family? in the hopes, of saving a few bucks? I mean, you do care about the people getting in your hot tub or they probably wouldn't be there in the first place, right?

Call us and we will match any verifiable quote from a legitimate "REAL COMPANY"(A licensed corporation with a commercial store/office maintaining at least one million dollars in insurance and made up of more than 3 people).

Every Technician on our staff has personal experience repairing hot tubs and portable or in-ground spas of no less than 10 years. (Not counting our trainee's of course. =)

 

Our Trucks are stocked and equipped to repair freeze damaged parts - most on the first visit. We are a "REAL COMPANY" and not some guy working out of his garage - we stock tens of thousands of dollars in parts and can have any part we don't stock within 2 days (with no extra expedite fees). We stock various jets and can install additional Jets, fountains, valves, customized seating jet formations, waterfalls, cool down mist, oxygen generators, ozone generators, fancy lights or any imaginable upgrade to your existing spa.

We stock powerful pumps and are happy to add a pump to your existing spa for more power! There is nothing we can't do to your spa. We can make it faster, stronger, quieter, more powerful, more efficient and more reliable.

We can troubleshoot and replace individual parts BUILT IN to your Spa Pack/Computer board. We are certified by the (Major) Manufacturers for Board repairs! We can reset and repair relays, capacitors and our Trucks stock enough parts to repair your spa in one trip. (93.2% of the time) (2009 #'s)

We do not recommend changing out the whole pack or entire heaters or pumps unless the situation dictates it. There is no reason to repair part of a a pack or computer or pump if another portion is obviously going to fail soon.

Many other work from home ... unlicensed ... un-insured ... individuals ... out there prefer to replace small components so they will have to come back out and complete another repair in a few months.

Oh and guess what? They don't give you a WARRANTY! If they do - it is only for a month or maybe 3. WE process up to 50 appointments each week in EVERY Metro we service. If we had to revisit each customer every few weeks or months, we would never get new customers taken care of. That's why, most of our repairs are completed on the first visit!

Due to our Powerful Buying ability we have been able to Negotiate exclusive Warranties for Products we install.

We provide every customer with 5 estimates at no extra charge. 1) Rebuild; 2) Bronze; 3)Silver; 4)Gold and 5)Platinum.

2010 WARRANTY PROGRAMS
We back our "Get You Going Repair" or Rebuild Repair Package with a 3 or 6 or 12 month warranty based on what parts we repair or rebuild (relays on a board, capacitors, coils, contactors, elements, water pumps, blowers, heaters, plumbing, etc);

 

Our Bronze Repair Package come with a Industry Standard 2 year warranty on Parts Replaced!

 

If you go with our Silver Repair Package you get a 3 year warranty on all Parts Replaced!

 

Of course our Gold Repair Package is the Number One Selling Package - We warranty ALL COMPONENTS we replace with a full 5 Year Warranty </b>

That's Not ALL! Our premium component replacement package is the PLATINUM REPAIR PACKAGE and you get a LIFETIME WARRANTY on ALL COMPONENTS we replace.

All Part Warrantees are backed by CSG Warrantee Co. and feature a ZERO DEDUCTIBLE and are Not Pro-Rated (Industry Exclusive)!

Any body can claim they know what they are doing. Only professionals back it up with a service guarantee and warranty their work like we do.

We know our business and stand behind our work with the Best Warranty in the Repair Business.

Find out why so many people choose us for their spa repairs! Not only people -Spa Manufacturers choose us to repair their spas!

 

Fine Print of Warranty: Any special order parts or non stock items that must be returned to the manufacturer for warranty exchange require the customer to cover shipping costs. Furthermore, a Labor Deductible may apply in some instances or locations of $50 per hour up to a cap of $250. Refer to the terms and conditions of your service & repair agreement for details. We answer the phone Monday through Saturday. If for some reason, we are inundated with calls and unable to answer your call, leave a brief message and your call will be returned within minutes. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction and feel confident we are providing an excellent service at a fair price with the best parts you can purchase.

The rental hottub took nearly 50 hours to heat up but David was so nice, he even drove out to double check everything and was just a text message away all weekend. We had a blast. Thanks for everything!

N.K. - Folly Beach

Amazing, I purchased a spa from a Coast Spa dealer in North Carolina. No one would help - not even the manufacturer. Although coast refused to warranty the pump David Martin handled the repairs quickly and efficiently. Thanks for my tub back.

J.H. - Charleston

  I never thought I would get the water in my hot tub right - but David was patient enough to teach me.  Now it is a breeze. 

B.J. - Hanahan

They worked around my schedule and were there when they said they would be.  I cant believe how quick they were.  It was up and running within 20 minutes. I wish I had called them first.

 R.M. - Hanahan

I always had a bad taste in my mouth about the dealer until we were introduced to My Spa Guys - they are awesome and made me feel great about my choice. 

J.P. Mt. Pleasant

I expected empty promises (like I got from the dealer) but just the opposite - great things happened and in record time. Best two hundred bucks I ever spent.

Anon. St. George

Extremely professional and polite. Could not have had nicer people.  Fixed the issues my husband spent a week trying to fix in less than an hour.

C.M. J.Island

We couldnt find anyone to fix our hottub.  My spa guy drove and resolved the issue within 20 minutes.  These guys are awesome.

I am having problems with my spa - what can I do?
 
Nothing on the spa operates as it should
1. Check the control panel display for any messages. If there is a message, refer to the diagnostic section on that model spa. There you will find the meaning of the message and what action is to be taken.
2. If there is no message on your control panel, check and reset the GFCI* and house breaker. (*The GFCI should be located in a weatherproof box within sight of the spa, but no closer than 5 ft.)
3. If the spa does not respond, contact us.
Pump(s) do not operate
1. Press the “Jets” button on your control panel.
If you hear the pumps trying to operate:
A. Check that all the slice valves are open.
B. Pump may need to be primed.
C. Check that the air controls are open.
If you do not hear anything from the pump, contact us.


Poor jet performance even when the pump is on high
1. Make sure pump is operating.
2. Check that the water level is adequate (up to minimum safe water level side).
3. Make sure the jets are open and the air controls are open.
4. Check for dirty filters. Clean if necessary.


Spa not heating like it used to
* If the spas heater has failed, the majority of the time it will trip the GFCI breaker. If the spa is not heating and has not tripped the breaker, please follow these steps:
1. Check the control panel for diagnostic messages. (Refer to your spa models diagnostic message area in the owners manual.) Follow steps to alleviate message.


2. Check water set temperature at control panel.


3. Check for dirty filters. Clean if necessary.


4. Check “heat mode” the spa is set in. Spa should be in standard mode.


5. Check the control panel for heater light indicator and/or thermometer icon. If the light is on or the indicator icon is moving, the spa should be heating. Wait a reasonable amount of time (approximately 1 hour) to see if the water temperature is changing.


6. Check to make sure that the pump is primed and all slice valves are open.


7. Reset power to the spa at GFCI breaker.


8. If spa is still not heating, contact us for service.


My Hot Tub GFCI is tripping, what can i do to determine why it is tripping?
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required, by NEC code (National Electrician Code), for your protection. The tripping of the GFCI may be caused by a component on the spa or by an electrical problem. Such electrical problems include, but are not limited to, a faulty GFCI breaker, power fluctuations, or a mis-wire. It may be necessary to contact us to come out and correct this issue.

"NO HEAT AT ALL!"

This is very different from "it's getting a little bit warm". It could have the same cause, but a heating element is like a light bulb, it either works or it doesn't. If there's absolutely no heat the first thing to test is the heating element. IS IT GETTING ELECTRICITY? (Hint, if you have a 240v heater, you must test for 240 volts directly at the two terminals of the heater. Testing from one terminal to ground will give a proper reading even if the element is bad).

 

The element is getting electricity.

If the element is getting electricity the next test is an amp draw test. If you don't know how to perform an amp draw test call a qualified spa technician. Generally, a 120v heater should pull 10-12.5 amps and a 240 volt heater should pull 15-25 amps. If you're getting proper amperage draw, move on to "it's getting a little bit warm", below. If you're not getting any amperage draw, you have a bad heater element.

 

A perfect match is not always possible, and some differences are just fine. Some of the acceptable differences are;

 

  • Difference in physical length. A shorter element is ok, as long as the other specifications match up. A longer element may not fit the existing housing and may actually cause a fire.

  •  

  • Slight difference in kilowatt rating. A difference in "kw" rating of 1/2kw is perfectly acceptable. Frequently, a 6kw element will be replaced with a 5.5kw element.

The two most important things are;

 

  • How the element attaches to the heater housing - must be the same on the replacement unit. (some unusual or obsolete elements may require a different element along with an adapter). If your heater element is threaded, the picture below should give some guidance on sizing and measuring for replacements.

 

  • The voltage rating must be the same. An element rated for 120v only, cannot be used in place of a 240v element, however, an element rated for 240v can generally be use in place of a 120v element. Also the kW rating must be within half a KW or you risk a fire.
