I was wondering if anyone can tell me how long it is supposed to take he to get my spa heated up. I bought a 11o volt cal-x fun spa. It has been taking 4-5 days to reach 104 degrees. :(

If the spa is full foamed and has a proper fitting cover, it should raise the water them 2 to 3 degrees an hour. It could be loosing heat faster than it is making it if it is not covered. If you have an AMP meter you can verify if it is heating or not, you might be not heating with the element and building heat from the motor running.

Thanks for the info. I went through an owner's guide that I downloaded (for the pump) and kind of fixed it. There was a heater switch that was tripped that kept it from heating up, and I plugged everything in better, and now it works great. It went from 94 to 108 overnight. Yay!!! :lol:

I will bookmark this site for the future, as I expect to be back.
