In some cases, pumps may turn on and off and the heater may operate during Freeze Protection. This is an operational message, not an error indication. |
The water is too hot – M029 | The system has detected a spa water temp of 110°F (43.3°C) or more, and spa functions are disabled. | System will auto reset when the spa water temp is below 108°F (42.2°C). Check for extended pump operation or high ambient temp. |
The water level is too low | This message can only appear on a system that uses a water level sensor. It appears whenever the water level get too low (or the water level sensor is disconnected) | Automatically disappears when the water level is adequate. Pumps and the heater turn OFF when this message appears. |
The water flow is low – M016 | There may not be enough water flow through the heater to carry the heat away from the heating element. | Heater start-up will begin again after about 1 min. See: **. |
The water flow has failed – M017 | There is not enough water flow through the heater to carry the heat away from the heating element and the heater has been disabled. | See: **. |

Flow-Related Checks | Check for low water level, suction flow restrictions, closed valves, trapped air, too many closed jets and pump prime. | |
Sensors are out of sync – M015 | The temperature sensors MAY be out of sync by 3°F. | Call for Service if this message does not disappear within a few minutes. |
Sensors are out of sync — Call for service — M026 | The temperature sensors are out of sync. | The fault above has been established for at least an hour. Call for service. See **. |
Sensor A Fault, Senor B Fault – Sensor A: M031, Sensor B: M032 | A temperature sensor or sensor circuit has failed. | If the problem persists, contact your vendor or a service engineer. See: ** |
Communications error | The control panel is not receiving communication from the System. | If the problem persists, contact your vendor or a service engineer. |
Test software installed | The Control System is operating with test software. | If the problem persists, contact your vendor or a service engineer. |
