Why is my hot tub showing a FLO error?
A FLO error often points to a flow or pressure switch problem. It can also come from a dirty filter, an air lock, a weak circulation pump, or the switch itself. A local pro can test each cause to find the real problem.
Does flow switch work need a permit in Weaverville?
County FAQ guidance says a permit is required anytime work is done on systems serving a structure, including electrical wiring, with limited exceptions. Residential spa electrical work must comply with Article 680 of the National Electrical Code and the North Carolina Electrical Code. Ask the pro whether your repair needs a permit.
Who is qualified to do hot tub electrical work in North Carolina?
North Carolina electrical contractor rules include a special restricted swimming pool electrical contracting license (SP-SP) for swimming pool bonding work. County permit packets ask for the electrical contractor's company name, license number, and expiration date. Ask any pro for proof of license and insurance.
What to do next
- Note your hot tub's FLO error code and whether the heater shuts off, so the pro can test the flow switch first.
- Check the filter and look for an air lock before the visit, since both can trigger a FLO error.
- Ask the pro for proof of license and insurance, and for the license number if electrical work is involved.
- Request a written quote separating the $20 to $50 part from the labor charge.
