Spa Not Heating in Rainbow, CA
A spa that will not warm up usually traces to a stuck diverter valve, a heater fault, or an automation setting. In Rainbow, that is worth diagnosing before it turns into a bigger repair. Rainbow runs on Rainbow Municipal Water District at 14-18 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means severe mineral scaling on equipment from some of the region's hardest water, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Rainbow and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
