Understanding Your Hot Tub Lights: What Solid Blue and Green Mean in Cold Weather

When winter rolls around, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your hot tub can handle the cold. Thankfully, Hot Spring Spas make it easy to keep an eye on your spa’s status with their intuitive indicator lights. Here’s a quick guide to understanding what those lights mean and how to ensure your hot tub is always ready for you, even in the coldest weather.

Solid Blue and Green Lights: All Systems Go

When both the blue and green lights on your Hot Spring Spa are solid, you can relax—literally! Solid blue and green lights mean that everything is working as it should. Your spa is up to temperature and currently heating, ensuring that it stays warm and ready for use, no matter how chilly it gets outside. This is the green light (pun intended) to enjoy a soak in your perfectly heated spa, even in the middle of winter.

Blinking or Off Lights: Time to Take Action

If you notice either the blue or green light blinking, or if they’re off entirely, it’s time to pay attention. Blinking lights typically indicate an issue that needs addressing, such as your hot tub not maintaining the correct temperature. In cold weather, this could lead to more serious problems, like water freezing in the pipes. If both lights are off, it’s a sign that something’s wrong, and your hot tub might not be heating at all. In either case, it’s important to take action quickly to prevent damage and ensure your spa is safe to use.

Take Control with the Hot Spring Spas App

To stay on top of your hot tub’s status, consider using the Hot Spring Spas app, powered by the Connected Spa Kit (formerly Connextion). This app allows you to monitor and control your spa from virtually anywhere, ensuring that you’re always in the know about how your spa is performing—especially in cold weather.
