Susanj Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 We had some family at our property and one night they went to get in and the hot tub temp had dropped 10 degrees. The circuit apparently had tripped. Now I worry if that happened when nobody was there in winter, it could freeze and ruin it. Has that happened to anyone?

RDspaguy Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 Common. In Tahoe many spas are wired with an extra 20 amp plug, not fed by the gfci, under the cabinet and a small space heater with thermostat set low kept under there in case this happens. If the spa stops heating and it gets cold under the cabinet the space heater turns on. Incidentally, new spa warranties specifically exclude freeze damage from their warranty even if that damage results from a part failure that is itself covered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDspaguy Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 I understand. Maybe the moderator, @waterbear, will merge them together, or whatever magic he does. I know hot-tubs, forum management is outside of my skill set.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only see it posted once in this topic. Is it also posted in another topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanj Posted December 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 No, so maybe it was deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanj Posted December 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Correction. I was wrong. Apparently a sensor needed to be reset by power cycling with the breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
