PDC spas Owner's Manual - Page 71

A good general rule is to visually inspect your spa and equipment area frequently. If anything looks broken,
worn, or incorrect, contact your electrician or spa retailer. A simple repair may prevent an injury or more serious
problems requiring expensive repairs. If your spa is not operang, check the following:
1. Nothing on the hot tub operates
Check power source G.F.C.I. breaker. (or equivalent)
Check to assure spa has dedicated circuit.
Check the “test” and “reset” buons on G.F.C.I. (or equivalent)
Check internal fuses.
Review control panel for any error code. Refer to that secon of this manual.
2. Pump does not work
Check all items above.
Check filter; clean or replace cartridge.
Check for blockages (restricons) at sucons, skimmer and pump.
Push “pump” buon(s) to check if high speed is funconing, on a dual-speed pump.
3. Inadequate jet acon
Make sure jets are turned on.
Make sure air controls are open.
Check for restricons (blockages) in jets and/or main skimmer and pump.
Check water level.
Push “pump” buon(s) to check if high speed is funconing on a dual-speed pump.
Check to be sure the diverter valve is in center posion.
Check for dirty filters and change if necessary.
4. No heat
Check all steps under part “1”.
Check temperature sengs.
Check for clogged filter element and other restricons.
Check water level.
Check if pump is running.
5. No light
Check “light” buon.
Check G.F.C.I. (or equivalent) “test” and “reset” buons.
6. Water is cloudy
Increase circulaon cycle.
Test water chemistry.
Clean/replace filter cartridge.
7. GFCI or equivalent is tripping
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required by the Naonal Electric Code for your protecon.
The tripping of the GFCI may be caused by a component on the spa or by an electrical problem.
Electrical problems include although are not limited to, a faulty GFCI breaker, spa component, power
fluctuaons, or improper wiring. If this new electrical service and GFCI installaon, an instantly
tripping GFCI may likely be caused by improper wiring of the neutral from the GFCI to the spa. Contact
a qualified technician to recfy the problem.
If above checks do not solve the problem, contact a qualified service technician.
