About this heater element

Each element comes with our comprehensive 1-year warranty for complete peace of mind. The 230V specification and robust 2.5KW output make this element ideal for addressing both heating issues (HH) and overheating problems (OH) in compatible spa systems.

Common symptoms this part fixes

If your spa is showing any of these signs, this part is likely your fix:

  • Spa not heating or heating very slowly
  • HH (high heat) fault code on control panel
  • OH (overheat) fault code on control panel
  • Spa water temperature dropping and not recovering
  • Heater element failed continuity or resistance test
  • Visible corrosion, scaling, or burnout on existing element

Not sure if this is your problem? Try our diagnostic centre or .

Before you buy — quick checklist

  • Confirm your spa runs on 230V — do not install on a 120V system
  • Verify your existing element's flange dimensions match the 2.5" x 4" configuration on this unit
  • Check your control pack or heater housing label to confirm HydroQuip or Watkins compatibility
  • Test your existing element with a multimeter before ordering — rule out a failed hi-limit sensor or flow switch as the root cause
  • Inspect the heater manifold for corrosion or cracking before reinstalling — a failed element sometimes indicates underlying water chemistry issues

Reading the checklist now prevents 90% of returns. Worth the 60 seconds.
