Spa Problems?

Spa’s can come up with a host of different secret coded messages telling you what it wants. Deep End Pools have compiled a list of all of the error codes we have come across to try and assist people who are having troubles with their spa.

 

Applied Computer Controls (ACC)

  • CoLd : Temp in heater housing is below 40° F. Low speed / circ pump will operate continuously until the temp rises above 45° F.
  • OH : Overheat. Spa temp over 108°. 
  • HLoH : Hi Limit Over Heat. Hi limit sensor is disconnected, shorted, or spa temp is above 112° F.
  • SEoP : Sensor open or disconnected. Heater disabled but spa operational.
  • SESH : Sensor short, non functional. Heater disabled but spa operational.
  • PSoC : Pressure switch open with circulation pump. 
  • PSoL : Pressure switch open with low pump. 
  • PSoH : Pressure switch open with high pump.
