No , just a green light by saftey suction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkneisler Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 If the heat light isn't going on then the spa is not calling for heat. That could be a flow error usually cause by dirty filters or the flow switch needing to be adjusted or replaced. Of if you have a circulation pump it might not be working, but I don't think Cal Spa uses circ pumps. Pull your filter(s) and run your spa for a little while to see if that resolves the problem; where you'll see the heat light on. If you still have no heat light and no heat then you need to identify where the flow switch is and check to see if it has continuity when the pump is running on low speed. Let me know if you need help with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipes51 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I pulled the filter, it looked like it was full of a bunch of slimey looking crap. the light did not come on. Do i need to run the jets or just let it run in the filtering mode. it constantly runs all day anyway. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipes51 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 no dice. I do notice that it will get a few degrees warmer when the weather gets warmer. This weekend it was 70 and it got up to 94. what now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE SPA GUY Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 after you pulled the filter did you shut off power and reset, also are the intakes plugged with the slimy crap also., if not and still not heating, and your heat light is off, could be low water,presuure switch may need to be adjusted, if your light is on . it could be a part failure like the board or the element.....just some advice ,,hope this works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
