Spa Heater - Important Information
Untitled Document
Spa heater is an important part of your spa bath. It helps to maintain
the right temperature, so you can relax and enjoy your bath. One
way it does that is to heat up water to help you relax. Don’t
become so relaxed that you miss the warning signs of a spa heater
problem. Remember that water and electricity don’t mix well.
A small problem can become a big problem if not handled properly.
Buying and installing your spa heater
Start by installing the spa in the right place in the right way.
Don’t install an indoor spa outdoors. Buy the proper spa for
the intended use. These days, it’s easy to purchase anything
at all online. Many times that means dealing with a trained and
experienced person. Often, it means getting a bargain from an auction
site where the seller may know everything or nothing at all.
It is not a good idea to buy a spa online, whether new or used,
unless you are guaranteed to receive the original manual with it.

When you receive your new spa, compare the manual to the merchandise

information of this model of the spa. Install the spa according
to directions, of course.
If you need to install the spa in an unusual way that isn’t
covered by the manual, you may want to call in an electrician just
to be sure. Make sure all of the exposed wires are in good condition
and the plug is sound. Check the spa heater to make sure it is in
the proper place without signs of wear or burning.
If you bought a used spa check your spa before getting into it.
Slow or inadequate heating can be a sign of trouble. If you have
an outdoor spa, perform all of the checks at the beginning of the
season. Check for frayed wires, animal damage and water damage.
Turn it on each spring and make sure it is working up to snuff.
Give the spa heater a test run to see that it still heats as well
as always. Investigate any unusual odors. If there are any questions,
call the electrician.
If you use an outside spa, pack it correctly for winter. Not covering
your spa properly can seriously damage the heater. If you take good
care of your spa bath, it can serve you for many years.
