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.
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.
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. 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. 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. 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. 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? That's right - over $150 of free tech support

"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.

and house breaker. (*The GFCI should be located in a weatherproof
box within sight of the spa, but no closer than 5 ft.)

the spa does not respond, contact us.

primed and all slice valves are open.
7. Reset power to the spa at GFCI breaker.

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.
