After using the spa, the water heater will not restart?

Your spa automatically checks the water temperature for one (1) minute, every thirty (30) minutes, in order to increase the temperature if it has dropped. If you are operating your spa on a 120V electrical supply, the heater will disengage when your pump is turned to high speed. If your set temperature has dropped during usage, the heater may not come on automatically when you change your pump from high speed to low speed. To turn the heater back on, decrease your set temperature by one (1) degree below the current temperature and wait for the display to stop flashing. After stopping, raise the set temperature back to your original setting. This should restart the heater within one (1) minute.

How often should I drain the spa?

You should drain and refill your spa every one (1) to three (3) months depending on usage. You should also replace the filter cartridge and wipe down the spa as needed. It’s important to have a replacement filter cartridge on hand.

On my spa leaflet and on the user manual, I see that it says 5 years warranty on the shell with a pro rata. What does that mean?

The pro rata is the period of time the consumer used the spa (from the delivery date)

For example

5 years = 60 months
Spa received on April 1, 2022
Replacement of the spa following a problem in April 2024
2 years of use = 24 months
Purchase cost: $5 000 before taxes
$5 000 / 60 months = $83.33
Prorated usage: $83.33 x 24 months = $2 000

Therefore, there is a pro rata of $2 000 to pay to have a new spa.

The spa cover is never included in a spa exchange.
