Most Common Problems Faces By A Jacuzzi


1. Water chemistry - This is mother of all Jacuzzi (ג’קוזי)problems. 99% of all problems arise due to lack of maintaining proper water chemistry in your spa pool.
2. Heater failure - Most heater failures are due to low ph in the water. Any ph under 7.0 for an extended amount of time will corrode the heating element to the point of failure. This will typically manifest as a tripped GFCI breaker and the results are mostly to replace the heating element or heater
3. Circulation pump failure - Many modern spas and hot tubs have a 24/7 circulation pump. Water chemistry problems coupled with pump seal failure is a common problem.
4. Flow or pressure switch problem - Both a flow switch or a pressure switch are mechanical components with a limit life cycle.
5. Burned circuit board - A burned circuit board is typically the result of loose heater terminal connection screws. After a few years, those screws tend to vibrate and loosen up the connection to the heater. This results in heat building up and transferring to the circuit board.
6. Mice or rats - Still very common. Mice get in and eat on wires and hoses.
7. Clogged filters - The first thing we ask a home owner that calls in saying "my spa pool is not heating" is, "Did you clean your filters lately?” That takes care of 90% of those problems.
8. Tripped GFCI breakers - Many things can result in a tripped GFCI breaker. Spa pump,  Jacuzzi (ג’קוזי) heater, ozonator and many more
9. Pump seal leaks - Poor water chemistry is almost always the result of a failed pump seal. The symptoms are a small puddle of water around the equipment area.
