Why is my spa overheating?

If the spa is located in an area that is experiencing hot weather, it is normal to have the spa water temperature rise. To help keep your spa cooler, adjust the spa’s filtration cycles to no more than three hours per day, and only one hour per day during the warmer summer months. Set the cycles to run during later evening or early morning hours when the outside air temperature is cooler. During the summer, set only one filter cycle per day. Open the cover for several minutes, long enough to allow the water to cool down. Repeat a couple times weekly as necessary. For safety reasons, never leave your spa unattended with the cover open. If OHH is displayed on the control panel, this means that the thermometer has detected spa water temperature above 110 degrees F. Do not use the spa at this temperature. Take the advised steps above to cool your spa water to below 106 degrees F before use.

Why won't my spa heat?

If your spa temperature is low, first check the thermostat to see if it has been turned down or set to low heat range. Adjust the thermostat to desired temperature or set to high heat range. Another common reason for your spa temperature to be low is because the high limit sensor has tripped. Press any button on your control panel to reset the system. If neither of the above steps works, your heating system may be defective. Contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas Dealer for further diagnosis.

Why is my GFCI breaker tripping?

Warning: You must be a qualitied electrician and or service technician to perform diagnosing or serial injury or death can result: High voltage components are in use. If the spa was recently installed, the most common reason the GFCI would trip is the Load Neutral (white wire) between the spa and GFCI which must be connected to the Load Neutral port in the GFCI breaker. If the neutral wire is connected to the neutral busbar, the breaker will trip during startup. The neutral connection must not have contact to the ground on the load side of the breaker or it will trip. If the spa is not tripping immediately upon startup, a process of elimination should be used to identify the problem. Disconnect one component at a time from the control board and try restarting the spa. If the breaker trips, reconnect the component then try again by disconnecting a different component. Continue repeating this process until the breaker does not trip. Components include pumps, heaters, lights, stereos, ozone, etc. If the breaker does not trip after disconnecting the component, then the disconnected component is the source of the problem. Once you have determined which component is at fault, replace the component. If you have not found the source of the problem after disconnecting each spa component individually, disconnect all components from the control board and try starting the spa. If the breaker still trips, a certified electrician will need to inspect the breaker and wiring.

Why is my spa making a vibration noise?

A light vibration noise is normal while the spa pumps and motors are running. If your spa’s vibration noise level seems excessive, the first thing to check for is the spa motor’s shipping bolts. Each spa motor has a shipping bolt that can contribute to the vibrating noise and can be removed once your spa is delivered and installed. The bolts have tags with red lettering for easy identification. If the bolts have been removed and your spa still makes an excessive vibration noise, contact your spa dealer for further assistance.

Why is my spa pump creating a burning smell or making excessive noise?

If your spa pump is creating a burning smell or making excessive noise, the pump motor is defective. This can happen when running the pump during high ambient outside temperatures or due to excessive run times. Please contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas dealer for replacing the pump.

Why are my control pad and spa equipment not operating?

If your hot tub control pad and spa equipment are not operating, that means you have no electrical power to the spa. Turn on or reset the GFCI circuit breaker to supply the spa with power again. If this does not solve the problem, have a qualified Electrician check the electrical service for issues. Another reason your control pad and equipment won’t work is if the fuse (20 or 30A depending on the system) has blown. Contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas Dealer for repair/replacement.

Why are my hot tub jets not working?

If your hot tub jets are surging on and off, the first thing to check is your water level as it might be too low. Adjust water to the water level indication mark on the faceplate of the filter assembly. Next, check your filters as they may be dirty. If so, clean or replace them. If your spa’s jets seem weak or are not working, first double-check to make sure that the valves are open. JetPaks have valves at the bottom that open and close by turning the valve. Adjustable jets on M Series, A Series, R Series, and STIL spas open and close by turning the jet face. Adjustable jets on X Series spas open and close by turning the outer ring. The next thing to check is the suction fitting(s) normally located at the bottom of your spa shell to see if they are blocked. Remove any debris you find by hand or with a spa vacuum. If your jets are not working after filling your spa, you most likely have an airlock in the pump. Follow the directions in the “how do I fix an airlock in the pump” section below.

Why won’t my spa won't work after draining and refilling it?

If your spa pumps/jets are not working after filling your spa, you most likely have an airlock in the pumps. Follow the directions in the “how do I fix an airlock in the pump” section below.

How do I fix an airlock in the pump?

To prevent airlocks when filling your spa, be sure to open all valves in the JetPaks and all other jets in the spa before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the system during the filling process. Fill your spa through the filter by taking the filter cap off and put the hose directly in the filter. Detailed instructions for filling each spa series are found in your owner’s manual. Your hot tub’s pumps must be primed directly after filling to ensure correct operation of your spa and get rid of any airlocks. After initial startup, verify that the home status screen appears on the panel. Depending on your spa model, your spa has either 1,2, or 3 pumps. To prime the pumps, press the “Jets 1” button once to prime in low-speed. After the pump turns on and water is visibly flowing from the jets wait a few seconds and then press “Jets 1” again to initiate highspeed operation of Pump 1. The pump has primed when water is flowing from the jets. If your spa is equipped with a second jet pump, repeat the priming process for Pump 2 by pressing the “Jets 2” button once to turn on low speed and then a second time to turn Pump 2 on high. If your spa has a 3rd pump, press the “Jets 3” button to prime the third jet pump. All pumps will have primed when water is observed flowing from the jets associated with each pump. On rare occasions, priming the pumps will not get rid of an airlock. The next step is to remove the front panel and locate the pump with an airlock. The wet-end of the pump has a bleed valve—loosen this until all the air escapes and water starts to drip out, or loosen the union on the pump to let the air out until you see water. Do not attempt this while the spa pump is running. If you need help doing this or this does not resolve the problem, please contact your authorized Bullfrog Spa Dealer.

Why do my spa jets turn off during operation?

If your jets turn off automatically after either 30 or 60 minutes, this is completely normal. The automatic timer has completed its cycle. Simply turn the pump back on to start a new cycle. Another reason your jets can turn off unexpectedly is if the pump has overheated due to the vents on the equipment door being blocked. Clear away any items from the vents and wait a while to see if your jets work again. The last reason your spa jets can turn off is if the pump motor is defective. In this case, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas dealer for service.

Why are my hot tub jets/pump not turning off?

If you are trying to turn off the pump for jets 1 on your spa and it appears that they are not turning off, your spa is in the middle of a filtration cycle. Spas not equipped with a dedicated filtration pump will turn on automatically, using jet pump 1 on low speed, to filter and/or heat. This is normal spa operation.

What do I do if my spa is leaking?

If you notice your spa is losing water, check all fittings and equipment in the equipment compartment for the source of leakage. If a leak is detected, tighten the fitting by hand. If the leak persists, you cannot find the source of the leak, or the leak is coming from the shell, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas Dealer.

Deep Hot Tub Options for Tall People

Bullfrog Spas | Buying & Research Guide, Benefits & Features, Swim Spas | No comment

Tall individuals often face unique challenges when it comes to finding products that cater to their specific needs, and hot tubs are no exception. When it comes to unwinding and enjoying a relaxing soak, comfort is key. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the best hot tubs designed with tall people in mind and what features to look out for, ensuring that everyone can experience the ultimate relaxation without compromising on comfort.

A hot tub tailored for tall individuals excels in several key features to ensure optimal comfort and relaxation. It should offer ample interior space with deep seating arrangements, allowing tall users to fully stretch out and submerge themselves comfortably. The design should consider the natural contours of the body, providing adequate support and alignment for those with above-average height. Customizable jet configurations are crucial, allowing users to target specific muscle groups effectively. A well-designed hot tub for tall people prioritizes a spacious and open layout, ensuring unrestricted movement and an immersive soaking experience. Additionally, ergonomic seating and thoughtful placement of jets enhance the overall hydrotherapy experience, providing a perfect blend of luxury and functionality for individuals seeking a truly accommodating and rejuvenating soak.

Size and Depth

The size of a hot tub is crucial for tall individuals as it directly impacts their overall experience. A larger hot tub provides more space for individuals with longer limbs, allowing them to fully stretch out and relax without feeling cramped. Adequate legroom becomes essential for tall users to fully enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the hot tub, promoting better circulation and muscle relief. Additionally, a spacious hot tub can fit a group of people more comfortably. In contrast, a smaller hot tub may restrict movement and the ability to fully immerse.

The depth of a hot tub holds particular significance in optimizing tall hot tub users’ experience. A deep hot tub ensures that the water level is high enough to submerge your neck and shoulders. This immersion helps with the distribution of buoyancy and provides a more encompassing massage for muscles and joints. A deep hot tub can cater to the specific needs of taller individuals, and hot tub users in general, offering a more satisfying soak that benefits the entire body. A shallower hot tub might leave certain areas exposed, limiting the effectiveness of the hydrotherapeutic experience for tall people.

Bullfrog Spas offers a diverse range of hot tubs, providing options for many preferences and needs. This extends to both size and depth, ensuring that users can find the perfect fit for all body types. We recognize the appeal of deep hot tubs and offer hot tubs and swim spas of various depths. Swim spas, with their design and greater depth, offer a unique solution for those desiring a deep soak coupled with the ability to do aquatic exercises. This versatility exemplifies Bullfrog Spas’ dedication to providing a comprehensive range of options, accommodating different tastes and lifestyles.

Jets

The customization of jets in a hot tub is particularly important for people seeking a hydrotherapy experience. Bullfrog Spas offers the customizable JetPak Therapy System that allows users to personalize the jet configuration based on their preferences and specific body needs. For tall individuals, this means the ability to choose the right Jetpaks for targeting areas that may require more attention due to height-related muscle tension or discomfort. The customizable JetPak feature ensures that the water jets can be strategically positioned to help the needs of all body types, delivering a more tailored and effective massage experience. This level of customization offers a personalized hydrotherapy solution that addresses the unique requirements of individuals of different heights.

Layout and Seating

The layout of a hot tub influences the comfort and relaxation of all that use it. A well-designed layout ensures that the seating, footwells, and jet placements accommodate tall hot tub users. Ample legroom prevents any sense of confinement and allows for a fully relaxed and immersive soak. The arrangement of a hot tub ensures that jets target key areas, addressing the specific needs of taller individuals in terms of muscle tension and stress relief. Without thoughtful consideration to layout, a hot tub might inadvertently compromise the comfort and therapeutic benefits for those with greater height, hindering their ability to fully enjoy their hot tub experience.

A variety of seating options allows for all hot tub users to find a seat that fits their body type. Seating has the same impact as the layout as it can prevents any sense of confinement, allowing for all to fit comfortably in the seat that fits them best. Bullfrog Spas recognizes the importance of accommodating users of varying heights and offers many different hot tub layout and seating options. In essence, a hot tub with many seat options and loungers not only accommodates the physical dimensions of all body types but also helps everyone to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy. We recommend going into your local dealer or factory store to try out and see for yourself what seating is best for you.

Finding the best hot tub for a tall person involves considering factors like interior space, seating design, and customizable features. The models mentioned above prioritize comfort and relaxation for individuals of varying heights. Investing in a hot tub designed with tall users in mind ensures that everyone can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy without compromising on comfort.
