The family behind Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs & Spas first made an aerating pump for hydrotherapy in the 1950s, and they began manufacturing hot tubs two decades later. By the ‘90s, these hot tubs had expanded into backyard models, and the award-winning company spread out into the international market by the year 2000.
The company holds more than 250 patents worldwide, including the first patent in the world for a whirlpool bath. Their models feature eco-friendly and advanced hydrotherapy options, and Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs & Spas is headquartered in Chino, California. There are several models available for each group size such as the J-495 in the 6+ Person Series.

Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs LX Collection Error Conditions / Error Messages
| Message | Meaning | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| COL | This only occurs when spa is in Economy mode and indicates a cool condition where temps have dropped 20°F (11°C) below current settings for them. System activates the heater and jets pump 1 to bring temp within 15°F (8°C) of settemps. | No action required.Note: this condition often occurs when filling the spa with water since tap water is usually cold. |
| ICE | This only occurs when spa is in Economy mode and stands for “Ice;” means the system has detected a potential condition for freezing and will cause the system to implement freeze protection. | No action is needed. Jet pumps 1 and the heater activate automatically to bring the temp to 15°F (8°C) of the settemps. Note: this condition often occurs when filling the spa with water since tap water is usually cold. |
| Sn1 | Stands for "Sensor 1" and displays when the high-limit sensor is malfunctioning. Indicates a shorted sensor and spa is shut down or an open sensor and heater is disabled. | Contact a Jacuzzi® hot tubs dealer or a service technician. |
| Sn2 | Stands for "Sensor 2" and displays when the temperature sensor is malfunctioning. Indicates a shorted sensor and the heater is disabled. | Contact Jacuzzi® hot tubs dealer or a service technician. |
| FL1 or FL2 (Flashing) | When FL1 code starts flashing it means the flow switch is malfunctioning and stuck open-likely because of a dirty filter or because there is an air lock problem at the circulation pump intake.When FL2 code starts flashing it means the flow switch isn’t working and it is stuck closed. In both cases, the spa heater will deactivate. Jets pump 1 will also likely deactivate. |
|
| OH | One of the sensors detected that the water in the hot tub is 112°F (44°C). Stands for “Overheat”- and the tub shuts down because water temp is too hot. Low speed jets pump 1 and optional circulation pump (if your spa is equipped so) activates to circulate water through heater. |

The spa system’s ability to cool itself down is directly affected by ambient temperatures.
