So what you could do is shut the power off in the evening when you would like the filter cycles to begin. This will reset the internal clock and should have your evening cycle start at that time and then run for however long or which filter cycle mode you have it set on. Then 12 hours later the second cycle would begin. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/how-to-set-heating-cycles#post-326 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:58:01 +0000 Anonymous 326@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>ah I see, so the manual is somewhat misleading. I guess this means it will heat/filter for 2, 4, or 6 hrs per 12 hrs (or continuous) as per the filter settings on pg15 of the manual. No way to set actual time (just duration). That's too bad as I was hoping to have it heat during the evening (when its used and when hydro is cheaper) instead of during the day. Oh well. Thank you very much for the info. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/how-to-set-heating-cycles#post-324 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:20:39 +0000 Mary 324@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>Economy mode means the spa will only heat during its set filter cycles. Standard mode will heat the spa on demand. I have included a link for the owners manual and it is confusing.<br /> <a href="http://www.spasbyleisurebay.com/PDF_Manuals/Celebrity%20Manual_02.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.spasbyleisurebay.com/PDF_Manuals/Celebrity%20Manual_02.pdf</a><br /> So whichever filter cycles you have set for your spa it will only heat during these cycles. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/how-to-set-heating-cycles#post-322 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:49:29 +0000 Anonymous 322@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>I have a Tonga hot tub from Leisure Spas. I want to program the heating cycles as it implies in the manual. Page 15 of manual says "Economy Mode operates the heater only during programmed Heating Cycles (See "Setting Heating Cycles" below)" Only problem is there is no section on "Setting Heating Cycles" so I have no idea how to program the heating times. I searched the internet high and low with no luck. Does anyone know how to do this or even how to contact this manufacturer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/flo-and-plug-message#post-258 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:37:35 +0000 Mary 258@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>If you are getting PLUG as an error message that means that the <a href="http://www.hottubworks.com/SpaParts/CabinetSides.php">spa top side panel</a> is not making a good connection. I would turn the power off, unplug panel and then plug it back in, turn power back on and see if it clears. On a FLO error message it could mean a few different things. It depends if it is flashing FLO or stays on solid. When the spa is in FLO the heater will not come on. If it's flashing then that means the <a href="http://www.hottubworks.com/SpaParts/HeaterFlowSwitches.php">flow switch</a> is not closing due to reduced or lack of water going to the <a href="http://www.hottubworks.com/SpaParts/HeaterComplete.php">spa heater</a>. This can be caused by a dirty <a href="http://www.hottubworks.com/HotTubSpaFilters/Filter_Search.php">spa filter</a> or the 24 hour <a href="http://www.hottubworks.com/SpaParts/PumpsCirculation.php">circulation pump</a> has stopped working. If it is a solid FLO then that means the flow switch is stuck closed, maybe something wrapped around the paddle not allowing it to open back up.<br /> Also, when testing power going to a 240V heater, you should test across the red and black wires to verify 240V, not one leg to ground. If the spa is in FLO you should not be getting 240V to the heater. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/flo-and-plug-message#post-255 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:20:20 +0000 Anonymous 255@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>I got a optima that I just replaced the heater(It froze and cracked the housing) everything else seems to work fine on start up but then I get a FLO or PLUG message on the screen and the heater is not working.

However the temp sensor would not cause the breaker to trip. You would need to determine which component is causing the breaker to trip. Usually heaters, blowers, ozones, and pumps would cause the breaker to trip. I would start by eliminating one component at a time by disconnecting the heater first and let the spa run to see if the breaker trips. </p> http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/topic/gecko-not-heating-up-32-on-display#post-158 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:17:33 +0000 Anonymous 158@http://www.hottubworks.com/spa-repair-forum/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>I just replaced my pump and onzonator and the tub is not heating up (after some time the breaker trips off).
