I am a new pool owner having purchased a house with a pool already installed. I've tried using the spa 6 times and about half of those times the spa temperature never reached the set point while the other times it worked fine.
I have a Pentair system, Master Temp 400, Intelliflo Variable Speed Ultra Energy Efficient Pump, Intelli-Touch System i7+3, Clean and Clear Plus Cartridge filter.
Today I tried again setting the target temperature to 101 and the spa never went above 83 degrees when I look at the readout on the in-home display panel. That panel shows the set point at 101 and the actual at 83. I went to look at the heater display and it said the current temperature was 99 and the set point was 100. So I'm guessing that the heater thinks it has reached it's set point and therefore has stopped heating. Both the Service System nor Service Heater lights are off.
I looked at the filter pressure and the needle has reached the point where it says to clean the filter. Could that be the problem? Are there other things to try on my own to investigate? I did already call my pool pro and of course at that time it heated fine so he couldn't do anything.
Thanks for your help!
