Self-help guide 

Sometimes the hot tub pump will flash and make noise at you; this does not mean there is a problem. They are preset to do this to inform you that you need to do something. Below are some of the most common errors:

E02 – There is a problem with the water flow, the filter is probably blocked. Take it out and clean it, checking the pipes for any debris that may have become caught. Reset (below).

EO3 – The pump is too cold, predominantly in winter. You need to warm the pump up to above 4*c to get it going again. This will only happen at initial set up and should not happen once the water is circulating. Reset (below).

EO4 – The water temperature is too hot, predominantly in summer. Check the temperature on the pump, if above 40*c, carefully replace some of the water with clean cold water. Reset (below).

EO8 – This is an electrical message. Either a dirty filter has caused the motor to begin to overheat and the pump senses a fault; in which case you need to clean the filter. Or, if using an extension cable, it may have overheated; this happens when it is not capable of drawing the energy that the hot tub requires to heat up. This can also occur from a household socket where too many appliances are running off the same circuit (think hot tub, microwave, tumble dryer and a kettle all turned on… it’s too much power) If the plug from the hot tub is hot to the touch; please turn off immediately and call us. Keep turned off until further notice. Reset (below).

If any of the above come up during your hire you will need to reset the pump; here’s how:

Turn the power supply off

Wait for the beeping to stop

Turn back on

About a foot down the cable is a ‘reset’ button, press this

Go to the pump

On the lower-half of the back of the pump is a small reset button, push it

Push the ‘power’ icon on the pump display (looks like a TV standby button)

Press the 3 flames for heat.

If this does not resolve the issue, or the problem you have is different to the above please call us, or refer to the lay-z-spa user guide
