ashuger Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I hate to sound like such a girl, but my spa is on but not heating. I think the pilot light might be off. It is going down to 20 F tonight in Seattle and my husband is out of town. I can't find a manual or anything. Can anyone walk me through this? It is a Raypak heater and is just about 2 years old. THANKS to anyone who can help. Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you don't have a pilot light, unless your heater is gas fired. Perhaps you can get an emergency call into your guy, and he can walk you through whatever is wrong. BTW, it's 21 here in the Tri-Cities, and supposed to go to 14. We're looking at highs of 8 on Saturday! And, yes, my hubby is out of town too.

THANKS to anyone who can help. Allison Are you sure it is not electronicaly fired. Most of the newer ones are and maybe you have a flow problem. I think you need to call your pool guy. Otherwise if it is pilot fired then you need to open up the cover and lighting instructions should be right there on the inside of the cover. Locate the gas valve and turn the gas off for 5 minutes. During this time locate the pilot and thermal coupler inside the burner assembly. There may be a door to swing open. After 5 minutes turn the gas valve to the pilot position and hold down while you light the pilot, continue holding down until the thermal coupler has heated up enough, about 30 seconds to a minute and then realese. Now turn the gas valve all the way to the on position and stand back.....LOL Is there a plug in on your heater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realDrew Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Best way to handle this is to post the make and model of the spa, then the pros can tell you what to do. To save time you might want to call a spa guy in your neck of the woods right away. I hate to sound like such a girl, but my spa is on but not heating. I think the pilot light might be off.

Now, if KIALDA would have been helpful after the rude statement, it may have been able to be taken as a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
