Hot Tub Spa – Heater Troubleshooting Guide – The term Mechanical Failure covers everything from shipping damage to dog bite, but the most common mechanical failures in electric heaters are caused by improper handling – destroying the Epoxy End Seal, and breaking or twisting the Cold Pin until it breaks are the two leaders in this failure mode.

Basic Pool or Spa Plumbing Systems. To understand the basic plumbing system of a pool or spa, you must follow the path of the water. The water from the pool or spa, not both at the same time, enters the equipment system through a main drain on the floor, through a surface skimmer, or through a combination of both main drain and skimmer. It travels to a three-port valve (if there is no spa, there will be no such valve) and into the pump, which is driven by the attached motor. From the pump, the water travels through a filter, then to the heater, and back through three-port valves to the pool or spa return lines.

Pool and Spa Basic Electricity. Electricity is responsible for running pumps and motors, ignites gas heaters, and operates controls. When major renovation or installation of electrical circuits is required, call a professional electrician and subcontract the job. When troubleshooting short circuits or other specialized electrical problems, an electrician will solve and repair it faster than you can, so again, call a professional and let him do his job.
