This spa heating system may be complicated but in reality, its quite simple. Under normal conditions, the electricity passes through some relays and switches. This electricity is then applied to the heating components which cause it to get hot; this in turn, is transferred to the water.

What heater should you buy? There are endless choices! There are commercial spa heaters such as PacFab MiniMx 100 which is a natural gas or LPG heater. If gas isn't available there are also Raypak SpaPak which is an electric spa heater specially designed for hot tubs and spas. It has an on and off switch for safety and convenience.

You can also buy solar spa heaters. You can choose this if you want to use the spa night or day for longer periods. This can be a good investment since your cost will be virtually nothing after the solar system is installed; it is also environment friendly since you will be utilizing renewable energy.

It is also useful to know what to do when the heater malfunctions. Some spa heaters fail because of the deterioration from inappropriate water chemistry. If your spa isn't heating, the initial step is to check if the pump still moves water to the heating system. Take note that spa heaters wont function if there's insufficient water being pumped. However, if the pump works well, the next move is electrical tests.

In running your electrical tests, you can use an amp meter, volt/ohm meter and some basic hand tools that are necessary for appropriate testing. Keep in mind that without these meters, any spa repairs will just be trial and error. It may also lead to replacement of the not so broken parts of the spa. If you aren't sure of what to do or how to use the test meters, it will be best to call for some help from qualified spa technicians.

Spa heaters are an added feature in your spa. Spas can really be exciting and relaxing if the flowing water is warm since it can send a soothing effect to your body.
