Why is there an error code showing on my CleverSpa® control panel?

If your control panel is displaying an error code, please use the below information to find out the cause and solution to the problem.

General advice

Please DO NOT use an extension cable, as this can be a fire risk and can cause issues with your hot tub. We recommend using an external mains socket that is weatherproofed and professionally fitted. If you are using an internal mains socket, ensure that the power cable is not running through any windows or doors.

FC, SL, HL and SH are the four error codes that may be displayed on your CleverSpa® control panel. The below table explains the cause of each of these error codes and the best way to resolve the problem. 

Code	Cause	Solution
FC	When the filtration system has worked for approx. 168 hours, FC (Filter Change) will appear on the display screen of your CleverSpa® accompanied by a warning tone. The red light will still be lit on the ‘Filter’ button, but the pump will not be operational. The heating system will also not work, and the red light will be out on the ‘Heater’ button.	You should check the filter and change it if necessary. Once you have done this, you need to press the ‘Filter’ button again. The ‘FC’ error code will disappear, and the warning tone will stop. The water temperature will be displayed, and all functions will return to normal.
