6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT
a. Make sure that the hydrotherapy spa is fully
covered with a spa cover. The spa cover must
be tight for the water to heat. (A cover made
especially for your spa model is available as
an optional purchase. Ask for Model No.
PFHS61590.) Set the air control to low. The
water will heat at a rate of 1.8¡F an hour with a
cover. If you are using the spa indoors, and
the room temperature is maintained at 70¡F, it
will take approximately 24 to 36 hours for the
water to reach the set temperature with a cover
installed.
b. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa outdoors,
it may take longer for the water to heat. See
the chart below for the approximate heating
time.
Air Temperature Heating Time w/Cover
70¡F
+
24 to 36 hours
50¡FÐ70¡F 2 to 3 days

contact our customer service department.

when the water level is low. Add water until the
jets are covered (see step 3 on page 9).
9 SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS
a. Some water loss due to evaporation is normal.
If rapid water loss occurs, or if you notice wetness on the floor around the hydrotherapy spa,
then the spa shell may have a leak. Contact
your local pool and spa service provider for
repairs.
b. A clamp or seal inside the pump compartment
may be loose. Check inside the pump compartment for excess water and watch the pump unit
while it is operating to see if water drips from
