Amp Meter: Utilised to check for amp draw by the heater element.

You will also require different hand instruments. Screw drivers, Pliers, open finish wrenches, and so forth.

5. Substitute filter lid and safe for operation.

six. Double examine spot about heater terminals to make positive you have entry to the terminals with the multi-meter probes, devoid of the hazard of touching other contacts.

7. Don't forget, when you re-apply energy to spa, you will be operating with 240 volts of electrical power. H2o and electrical energy do not combine.

eight. Make sure no h2o is close the terminals in which you will be operating. Re-apply energy to spa and flip thermostat up to trigger heater to come on. Hear to spa to see if operation sounds typical.

ten. Turn multi-meter on and plug probes into the meter as directed by the meter guidelines. You will be testing voltage.

12.
thirteen. Eliminate the two probes, and publish down the voltage you study from your check.

15. Turn energy off to spa. If you received "0" volts at the heater terminal, your dilemma is most possible not the heater aspect. If you obtained the right voltage at the heater terminals, you ought to now examine for amp draw at your heater.

Check amp draw at heater factor

one. Turn power off to spa. (This indicates to shut off supply voltage to the spa at the breaker or disconnect).
Find wires that connect to the spa heater terminals.

Oil Heater $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles An oil heater, also often known as a column heater, is a common form of convection heater used in domestic heating. Oil heaters consist of metal columns with hollow cavities, inside which oil flows freely around the heater. A heating element at the base of the heater heats up the oil, which then flows around the cavities of the heater by convection. The oil acts as a heat reservoir or buffer, with a relatively high specific heat capacity (approximately 2 kJ.kg1.K1) and high boiling point (approximately 150300 degrees Celsius). The high specific heat capacity allows the oil to store a large amount of thermal energy in a small volume, while the high boiling point allows it to remain in the liquid phase for the purpose of heating, so that the heater does not have to be a high pressure vessel.
