Improper wiring: If the spa is connected with an extension cord, and/or
the house wiring is undersized, the pump may starve for voltage and
therefore may draw more amperage and generate excessive heat.
•
If the pump is shutting down due to excessive heat, make sure the
equipment compartment has adequate ventilation. The air gap at the
bottom must not be blocked. Should your jet pump continue to shut off
after short periods of use, contact a qualified service technician.

The limited warranty is void if the Hot Spring
®
spa has been improperly
installed, subjected to alteration, misuse, or abuse, or if any repairs
on the spa are attempted by anyone other than an authorized
representative of Watkins Manufacturing corporation. Alteration shall
include any component or plumbing change, electrical conversion,
or the addition of any non-approved sanitation or water purification
device, or heating system which contributes to component or unit
failure or unsafe operating system. Misuse and abuse shall include
any operation of the spa other than in accordance with Watkins
Manufacturing corporation printed instructions, or use of the spa in an
application for which it is not designed; specifically: use of the spa in a
non-residential application; damage caused by operation* of the spa
at water temperatures outside the range of 35°F (1.7°c) and 120 °F
(49°c); damage caused by a dirty, clogged or calcified filter cartridge;
damage to the spa surface caused by the use of tri-chloro chlorine,
BcdMH, chemical tablets in a floater, acid, or any other spa chemicals
or spa surface cleaners which are not recommended by Watkins
Manufacturing corporation; damage caused by allowing undissolved
spa sanitizing chemicals to lie on the spa surface (no spa surface
material can withstand this kind of abuse); damage to components or
spa surface caused by improper water chemistry maintenance; and
damage to the spa surface caused by leaving the spa uncovered while
empty of water and in direct exposure to sunlight (this may cause
solar heating distress in warm weather regions). These are considered
abuses and may invalidate this warranty.
Acts of nature, and damage caused by animals, rodents, and insects
are considered abuses and are not covered under this warranty.
*operation of the spa does not mean “use” of the spa! Watkins
Manufacturing corporation does not recommend using the spa if
the water temperature is above or below the spa’s control panel
temperature range.
