Hot Springs Vanguard - Protection Mode


Recommended Posts

Hello,

Thank you for admitting me to the Pool Spa Forum. I am am total newby and have replaced the leaking heater and sensors on a friends Hot Springs Vanguard hot tub. After refilling and turning the electric on the tub immediately goes to Protection Mode.

The service companies seem to be totally backed up, so it seems like we are on our own to try and figure this out. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

If you have an air lock, (and it sounds like you do) I found the easiest way to purge the air is to take off the circulation pump filter and post. Then stick a hose down the hole, then wrap a small towel around the opening, hold the towel tightly to seal off around the hose, and turn on the water full. This will force any air locked in the system out. You will start to see large bubbles escaping the jets and floor drain. It may take several minutes to purge all the air, but this has worked for me every time. I just automatically do this every time I refill now just to make sure no air is trapped. Thanks, Randy
