wave1 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I recently replaced my pump in my Hydropool Serenity hot tub, before hand I completely emptied the tub, wet vacuumed and blew out all the lines. After I installed the pump, it sat empty for a few days and some run off from the cover accumulated in the bottom foot well of the spa and froze there, roughly about 2 inches. Much to my chargrin, when I got water delivered for it, the water guy didn't notice the ice in the bottom and filled the tub completely. I seem to be getting flow through all of the outlets and the new pump is working fine, but my heater won't come on and I have a FLC error displayed on the control panel which the instructions says is a flow switch problem. Can anyone give me advice, I don't want to blow my new pump or have the tub freeze up. Is the heater not coming on because to the flow switch?? Is the flow switch not coming on because of the layer of ice in the bottom of the tub?? Never had a problem with the flow switch before I replaced the pump?? Help? Solutions?

If the pump is pushing water fine, give it a day with the pump on low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 im gonna guess that there was water in the pressure switch and it froze. It will thaw when the ambient temp in the equip bay is warm enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wave1 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 That was it, just put a heater in the bottom for an hour, reset the breaker once and voila, working well, heating now. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
