The hot tub is no longer heating - Qca Spas Paradise Series Paradise Supreme Hot Tub

drop the temperature all the way down and turn on unit like you would normally do [but depending on amount of time the product needs to circulate may need to turn on a few times ] or reset set the filter time for longer

First, balboa does not manufacture hot tubs! They make control systems for hot tubs. If you are no longer able to switch between modes, then your topside control panel buttons are dead or falling. But... Even if you are still in economy mode, spa should still heat up. Once a demand for heat is recognized, you have a "Heat Call" and heater should come on. Is the "heat on" light, illuminated? If so, water should be heating, if not heater element may be bad? A multi meter would be good here: is there proper voltage at terminals on circuit board to heater? If so, bad element! If no voltage, then heater is not necessarily bad, probably just fine, I would then look at sensors? Good luck

Suggest you get a cover which is 2lb density which will last longer and has a doubled wrapped core. The cover will last allot longer than your original and keep more heat in. Here's link http://www.hottubworks.com/SpaCovers/Features.php

Turn off all power to the hot tub as soon as you realize it is overheating. The spa should have an automatic shut off when the water temperature reaches about 112 degrees fahrenheit. Call your hot tub dealer or manufacturer for service options. There are a variety of conditions that could lead to the overheating of your hot tub, but may differ in various hot tub models and brands. Check the water level of the hot tub. Low water levels could be the culprit for the over heating, so you may just need to add more water to the hot tub.
Check the shut-off valves in the hot tub. If they are closed while the hot tub heater is on, it could cause the water to reach unsafe temperatures.
Clean the hot tub filter. A dirty filter could be blocking the flow of water, causing the water to sit in the hot tub and overheat.
Turn the power back on after finding the problem and talking to the hot tub dealer. The hot tub will probably not start back up until the water reaches a safe temperature

Check your by-pass valves. You have one on the inlet and outlet pipes this should be closed or nearly so. And their is one inside the water header on the side of the heater. This is a spring loaded disc on a shaft and should move smoothly just from the water pressure coming into the heater. Sanding and cleaning the shaft and disc should fix this. Both of these keep the water from flowing to fast or to slow through the heat exchanger so it warms at the best rate.

sounds like the heating element has gone to the next life,.....you can test it with an ohm tester,....MAKE SURE POWER OFF WHILE WORKING ON IT!!!! but no doubt it just needs a "heating element" cracklin joe

it may take longer to heat to desire temp. if nothing chang have you adjust the temp higher . if everything check ok check high limit switch next to the control box ussualy red bottom push soft in

it is because the tub has a temp control valve in it so if you were to put more cold with the hot it will last longer but still won't be all the way hot,, now a days people are suing the manifacture because they are getting burned form the hot water so they put these saftey temp controls in place of the old style 2 or 3 handle faucets,, there fo no more real hot water nothing you can do outside of change to the othere type of faucet 2 or 3 handle tub shower diverter,, that why the water is hot in the sink but not the tub.....
