I have noticed that the time it takes to heat this spa at my new house is significantly longer than the amount it took to heat my spa at my old house. I know this spa is a little bit larger but not overly larger.
Currently, I have the spa at 3275 RPM and a Mastertemp HD 400K BTU heater. I know it was cold last night around 38 degrees, and it took it about 2 hours to heat from 49 degrees up to 104 degrees. This is seemingly double the amount of time it took to heat my prior spa.
-I took out the thermal regulator and tested it, worked flawlessly.
-I have adjusted the pump speeds but haven't noticed anything substantially different.
-Filter seems clean
-Water under the heater is from pulling out the thermal regulator.
Kinda stumped... is this completely normal operation and I just need to get used to having a larger spa or could there be something at play here? I only got an error code when I lowered the GPM too low and it started cycling.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
