6.SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT

The water will heat at a rate of 1.3¡F an hour. If you are using the spa indoors, and the room tem- perature is maintained at 70¡F, it will take approximately 28 to 34 hours for the water to reach the set temperature.
b.If you are using the RENEW 815 outdoors, it may take longer for the water to heat. The chart below shows approximate heating times for different room temperatures when the water temperature is 60¡ to 64¡F.
