Okay got a guy that is going to take a look at my plumbing. He also said that I may have a high limit switch issue? Is this something that has to be replaced or something that may be able to be repaired?

I see what your saying...But none of the three valves control the spa main drain. They all control the pool (main drain and the two skimmers).

Does this setup appear to be workable at all or do I need to redo it?

The two red valves and the white one controls my pool jets and drain. The small white one controls the spillover. He put a circulation pump on there that I have no idea what it circulates. Up at the top (not in pic) is the blower.

Sure. Here is some other shots: [attachment=1:vwxp4w5r]DSCN1522-2.JPG[/attachment:vwxp4w5r] [attachment=0:vwxp4w5r]DSCN1526-2.JPG[/attachment:vwxp4w5r]

Here is my pic..more if needed. Any help will be appreciated. [attachment=0:7g0b7yiu]DSCN1526-2.JPG[/attachment:7g0b7yiu]

Yes! I will try to get some pics at lunch and post them afterwards. Thanks again.

Thanks guys. That makes sense. Last night I played with the valves, when I do have the spillover turned off the heater loses pressure and of course wont go through the startup. The only way to keep pressure on the heater is to have the spillover valve open....

Then I need to turn the overspill off? I dont think my pool guy plumbed my pool right....If I turn the overspill off then the spa fills up with water...

The overspill is running the whole time to....I suppose it could be dumping whatever hot water comes in back into the pool?

Nope. It just runs for a bit (heating), then stops, recycles itself, then starts heating again. But it never warms the water past 4 or 5 degrees. I let it run for like 2 hours, it ran the whole time (stopping and starting), putting warm water in the spa but it "levels off" after a while...

Someone suggested I clean the burners? Could dirty burners be causing this?

I set it at 100 and it may get to 88 or so...actually heats less then 5 degrees. It also stops then starts again, when it starts there is cool water coming in. But even when the heat runs when it reaches a certain point it just stops heating.

Hi guys, I have a spillover spa that is heated with a minimax heater. When I set the temp the heater kicks on and heats the water up about 5 degrees...and thats it. It will then continue in the heat mode but the water will not get any warmer. Any ideas?

Nevermind, I got it figured out. Thanks for all the helpful tips and suggestions.

Does this happen when air gets in the lines?

Hey guys, I am brand new so please forgive my ignorance. I have a Prestiege spillover lounge spa. In the bottom of the spa there are about eight gray circles (silver dollar size) and when the blower is on bubbles will come up from them...well four of them. The four on the other side will only...
