DO NOT waste your time taking your pump or spa apart. I have a quick simple 30 Second fix for the Intex PureSpa E90 Error.
TLDR; Change out the filter!
(Will that fix every single PureSpa with that issue? The short answer is NO. BUT with the feedback that I have gotten, it has helped and fixed many)
If you don't want to keep replacing the filters (@ Just over $2.50 a filter) you can also take your kitchen spray hose and clean them out as well, not exactly recommended, but it will work in a pinch.
The Intex PureSpa is the best way to have your very own hot tub or spa without breaking the bank. The spa is inflatable so it is portable as well as extremely easy to install. It contains 120 high power water jets, a puncture-resistant 3-ply laminate outer layer

Update to this E90 error: I have been changing my filters on a monthly bases like it is recommended, and I haven't had the E90 error come up in almost a year now.
Thanks I'm looking to get one and I constantly see this issue on Amazon.
@@cosmickatamari I just changed my filter every month and I didn't have that issues at all
@@SmittySahn Thank you for this. I have been wondering what the second filter is supposed to do, beside site there. Apparently nothing.. anyway thanks!!
@@bosk6793 No problem. I thought it was a bit strange that it does nothing at all. But that's what the rep at the company told me.
Does the error code auto clear or do you have to reset it somehow?
Works like a Charm in mine!, i just swicth the filters from one place to another. Thanks from México!
Awesome, glad I could help
Tonight I had this error come up on my hot tub and the first thing I did I looked up this issue and watched your video and changed out the filter and that fixed it. Thanks for the video!!
Awesome!! Glad it helped
Worked! Too easy. Like you said, I was about to tear into the pump assembly. Glad I looked at a few more videos first.
Awesome, glad I could help
Thanks for the advice. I changed my filter like you suggested and it worked like a charm!
Awesome :D Glad it worked
Thanks a million!!! It worked just fine, my husband was starting to freak out and I just "magically" solved it 😉
Hahah same here ! Girl power lol
Awesome :D :D
Thank you for this video! Was about to start dismantling. Different model but same outcome! Cheers 👍
Worked! Thank you so much! Very appreciated!
Thanks for this video. We had the E90 error after running the spa for 2 weeks. We rinsed the filters and reinserted them until we get replacements. All is well.
Glad it works for you too :D
Thanks for the tip. We're suppose to get one soon. I cant wait! Maybe I should record it also.
Most defiantly!! :D
Very helpful video fixed mine in 2 minutes just washed filter and no more errors thank you very much
Awesome, glad it helped
Hi Jason - thanks so much for the reminder to change filters. I'm going to add a link to this video to the notes in my video on replacing the impeller, if that's okay. The E90 error results from poor water flow, and dirty filters are one reason. Unfortunately replacing filters won't fix a broken impeller, which happen to at least some Intex spas which are older than a year. (The impeller break is probably accelerated by the pump working harder with clogged filters, but the root cause is a manufacturing defect.)
That would be awesome, thanks much
Thanks mate, you have opened my eyes
Glad to hear it helped, thanks for watching
Brilliant, thank you for this advice. It worked for me!
Awesome, glad it helped
Thank you for helping me fix this! We had it set up at our old home, then a year off no use and in the box, then when I reset it up I misplaced the filter location like a dummy! And yes the filter was disgusting 🤢
Awesome :)
I switched the filter from the real filter to the dummy filter and it worked like a charm thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome :D
What's a dummy filter?
@@MsFreedom9 If you watch the video and pause it at the very start (within a few seconds of starting) it's the filter on the left side (top left of the screen) It's just not a filter that does anything, it always stays clean.
THANKYOU so much!!! I almost bought new pumps and opened it up and I really didn’t wanna do that. E90 code gone!!
Glad it helped
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks for watching :D
Thank you so much mine was the small inlet valve, removed it cleaned it despite it passing water through ok, how wrong was I. Sorted the problem.
Nor worries, glad you got it fixed. I did that too when I first got mine and wondered why it didn't work. :)
Really appreciate this advice! I changed my filter like you suggested and the E90 error is gone!
Awesome, glad it helped
Good info! We fixed our E90 error by using the hose to shoot water into the intake valve and eliminate the air. If changing the filter doesn't work, try the hose method.
That would have been my next option after the filter, but haven't had to do the hose one yet. Glad to hear it works as well
Thank you I will be needing all this information getting a hot tub
Thank you I'll try this I've tried everything new filters turn off on trying to get water in etc frustrated
@@michellenerdin5984 same here, set it up and get the e90. tried replacing the filters, also unplugging and then turning the jets on first for a few minutes. ugh
Worked perfect on changing filters a#1
Awesome, glad it helped
Thanks...this actually worked for me. Simply switched around the filter with the one you said did nothing with the other one.
Awesome!! Glad it helped
Awesome, glad I could help - Yeah those filters can be interesting for sure
Thanks the video bro! I had mine for month now and that code just showed up. So I changed the filters and the old filters were very dirty. Please keep in mind everyone, after changing to new filters and if your machine was on at the time, the code will still be there after the new filters. REMEMBER TO UNPLUG IT AND PLUG IT BACK TO POWER IT and then the code magically disappears. 👍
Awesome!! Glad that cleared it up for you.
hey! it worked! thank you!
Awesome :D
It worked for me, thanks
Awesome
Even if you have to remove the base unit to work on it, you don't have to drain the spa. Just pop those rubber caps on the outlets after you unscrew the base. Keep those caps!
Caps are placed while water is pouring out?... Any other way... I got water Every Where. .ugg
@@MsFreedom9 there are rubber plugs you put on the inside before you remove the hoses so that doesn't happen
You saved me a great deal of searching and work, thank you! Looks like my filters had a bunch of trapped air and after I filled them up with water, error went away
Awesome, glad to have helped and saved time
Worked.. Thank you
Awesome
The second intake hole labeled “c” is to prevent the pump from having too much suction at one intake. Filter systems with only one intake have sucked in a swimmer’s hair and drowned them. Similarly, a pool with a bottom drain must have two for the same reason.
I just figured out that on my own just yesterday actually. The company told me when I called them that it does nothing. But when I took the garden hose to the intake tube, water was coming out of that side 'C' hole. So yes they are all connected and it is 'functional' / 'useful'. I never would have known or bothered testing that since the company said it does nothing. Thanks for posting that info as well. :D
Does the second filter do anything? Because I just checked it and there is no water flow from that second filter. I thought I got a defective unit.
Jason Smith how do you use the hose method? Is there a video for it?
@@jliang77 According to the company the second filter does not do anything at all. If you take the pump off and take the filters off and put a hose on the 'pipes' on the outside that the pump attached to, water will come out of that spot on the inside of the hot tub. But in normal functions that second one does nothing at all.
@@jliang77 I don't have a video for that. I just would hold my hand over the hole when the filter is off to try and flush the air out of the pump. Others and the company say you can just put a hose at the front of the internal hole and force water into the pump to flush it out. I never had to try that method, so I don't know if or how it works. I would assume it works similar to just using your hand.
Also... Sometimes the grill at the filter inlet (behind the filter) gets clogged with hair and stuff. When you replace the filter be sure to clear that opening too.
Very good tip. Thanks much :D
Had the E-90 CODE, I Unplugged spa (power) ....removed filters...plugged spa in....turned on jets first--run about 30 seconds--gets water going thru the unit....off jets...off power button...on power button, turn temp up...works great...
Awesome, good to hear
Did not work for me 👎🏼
Hi, I changed the filter after 2 weeks (E90 code), spa is new. Filtration is very slow, even with new filter. But I have no idea what speed/flow is ‘normal’??
The "C" where your single filter is, is for the spa light...it holds the spa light...it just simply screws in.
That is correct, but I was also told by Intex when I called them, that a filter can or "Is supposed to go there because of regulations" But in fact it does nothing there, it does not filter anything. But because of regulations they are required to tell you to put a filter in that spot. So yes, since it does nothing having a filter there, a spa light would work just fine.
@@SmittySahn That is strange that it does nothing because when I read the manual last night it mentioned to put the filter in the spot C's. Where it's supposedly is operational. I just figured they go on top of one another. Hmmm bizarre?
@@robertfaulkner7152 Yeah I initially put them stacked on the side by the pump. Then when I called Intex to ask a couple questions they told me to put them both on the bottom apart from each other. I put my hand on there and told them there was no suction at all on the other 'C' spot. That's when the guy told me that it does nothing over there. They were just required by law to put a second 'filter' spot over there, even though it does nothing. Dumb I know, and I didn't care enough to even question it, but that's what he told me.
@@SmittySahn Thanks for this info. I came here looking for answers as to why my 2nd filter is always clean. Well there ya go.
@@Aquahutch702 Glad it helped. I was a little surprised that the company told me that it needs to have a filter but it does nothing for the system overall. Thanks for watching
The company is called Intex, not Initech. Initech is from the movie Office Space. :)
I was wondering if anyone would ever catch that :D
Holy crap i didnt know they made the inflatable ones that big, i have one and its only like half the size of that, it only uses one filter though so cant complain
Yeah... It's sold as a "6 person hot tub" and 6 people sitting in there with no water is very... cozy... But when we put 4 of us in there the water went right to the very top of the hottub, we would have easily overflowed with 6 in there.
That other filter.... I was worried it wasn't working... Makes sense. Doesn't do anything. Did you call customer support?? But yeah. Clean the filters and throw a bit of spa shock/chlorine in and it's clear in a day. Thanks for the video.
Yes, that's how I found out. I was talking to customer support and they are the ones that told me that other filter has to be there for rules and regulations, but it really doesn't do anything.
So we've had ours for 3 days and its already getting the E90 code. One filter was kinda of dirty so I washed it and we'll see if that works. I can't believe it got dirty that fast!
It got that dirty after 3 days? That's a little crazy. I ended up buying about 2 years worth of filters, just so I can change them out every month. You can "clean" them out, but at some point you'll have to just replace them. Sucks, but needs to be done. I guess that depends on how much you're using it, and they recommend taking a shower before getting in as well to help keep it clean.
I had to rinse out both filters out with a hose (with spray nozzle) after 5 days (got the E90). Thanks for the video.
@@davidg7454 Yeah I did that a few times as well to just clean them out, it works for a bit at least. :)
I also got the E90 on day 3!!! Thought we had done something to break our spa. Don’t have new filters on hand so tried rinsing it really well. So far code has not come back up and new filters are on the way. Ugh glad to know what it is at least! “It’s a feature!”
I have the bubbles deluxe and changed filter. Spa works again.
Awesome, good to hear
I just changed my filter and the e90 still happened, I checked the rod for the intake motor and that was in tact I put everything back together. If I run it without the filter near the pump I do not get the E90 error. It’s like the motor is not powerful enough to pull water through through the filter.
Follow up: The original filter from Intex was very dirty, so I replaced with one suggested from a local pool store. It was not the Intex brand. I realized the filter material was very different and not as porous. The water could not get through it. I took the original filter from the other side, away from the motor, and cleaned it really well with a garden hose. I reinstalled and now it’s working fine. I have ordered eight new OEM Intex filters.
Dan, this should be an easy fix, I had this happen a few times. Yes it can be a little tricky and just takes a little patience. I'm not 100% sure of the issue but I think it is just air in the line is all. What I would do to fix this was take off the filter completely. (from the bottom hole). Then turn it on and make sure the heat it turned on so it is pumping. Then hold your hand over the intake (bottom one, where the filter was) for about 5~10 seconds then release. Basically letting it pump water out and then sucking a bunch in when you remove your hand. I do this at least twice if not three times. Basically trying to just get any air out of the line. Once you've done that a few times just let it run. All the bubbles should stop coming out of the top side at some point, it shouldn't take long. then just let it run for 1~2 mins like that. Now, put the filter (inside the plastic housing) into the water. NOT onto the hole just yet. Let it sit in the water for a minute to fill with water. I would even move it around a little to let it fill with water and get the air out of it. If you put it in and right to the hole there's a good chance of getting more air into the line. Once that's done keep it under water and put it onto the hole and screw it on, (bottom one) that should keep out the air and it should work fine after that. Now keeping that in mind there was a couple times where I needed to just start over and run though that process again to get it to work, that's why I said it can require patience. "Starting over" for me anyway, required unplugging it from the wall to clear out the error, outside of that I couldn't get the error to go away by just turning it off and on. Worse case it took me three tries, best case I would get it first try. Normally you can just replace the filter, hold it under water for a bit and then screw it on so there is no air getting sucked in and then turn it on and it's fine. But every once in a while I'd run into the same issue. Hope that helps.
Jason Smith - Thanks for this post Jason! I think I figured it out. I think I was writing my follow up while you were writing to my original post, lol. Thanks again!!
@@DanPusateri Did that fix it or was it something else?
Jason Smith Yep, that was the fix. For everyone, only use clean OEM filters from Intex!
I’ve had my intex since 2015 I just had to replace the tub ( wasn’t to expensive from the company) I had an issue with the propeller magnets 2017. Believe it or not it wasn’t the rod that normally people have the issue with but the magnets they actually crumbled into pieces. I purchased a newer pump and took the part out of that since they don’t make the pump for the older ones. Well all said and done worked great until it started leaking in the spring 2020 😬 I kept it inside in the winter. Boy what a mess, it was a slow leak but nothing that could be fixed since it was inside the hose that the air comes out. I taken it that it ruptured or disintegrated from the chlorine tablets over time. But anyways I order the new tub and just got it up and running this year. New filters even took them off and still getting the E90 code 🤦🏼♀️ . The air is working it just when I hit the filter button. I have a feeling I’ll be taking it apart to check the motor now. I really loved this hot tub and when I’m not using it my cat and dog made it their bed and sleep on the lid. No I never had a hole outside the materials is pretty durable.
oh wow, that's crazy. Sucks that you're still getting that error though. We finally opted for a hard shell so we could leave it outside and not move it to the garage in winter. Now the garage is to full with workout equipment to even keep one in there. Hope you don't have to take to much of it apart to see what's going on with yours.
Nice I would love a hard shell hot tub but not in the budget lol
Well I spent the day disassembling the whole unit 🤦🏼♀️ First I took the pump apart check the rod then the impeller. I notice a hair line crack around the magnet casing. I put some super glue gel to seal it . Still no luck so I decide to change the pump with the new one I had for parts had to splice the wires together since the older model doesn’t have the connector fitting like the new ones. Still no go! This is were it gets fun fun fun. Took the whole unit apart OMG I had snails shells or slugs lol and that wasn’t just half of it, a rats nest I only know this cause I saw the 2 wires to the temperature have been chewed just the coating so I clean it out (blew air from compressor) wiped it down repaired the wires, for sun burnt! Finally got it back together. Hooked it up, turned it on the pump seem to be working but less then 30 seconds got the code! I did notice that some of the hard water deposits came out of the heater unit so I’m going to do a manual flush. With vinegar and my small pond pump. Tomorrow 🤞🏼 . The air blower is work the water is warm from the sun , bath water. Just no filter or heater. Can’t run one with out the other 🤦🏼♀️ If all falls maybe look to find a used unit cheap or just run my pond pump lol
@@runin1wild Holy crapola... That sounded like a mess, hope it get back to working order for you. :)
I had a pack of two NEW filters and one gave me error E90 and I tried the other one after watching this video and it worked perfectly. Weird
That is a little odd, there could have just been some air in your line as well, and switching them was enough to clear it out. Glad it's working
I also have been getting the E90. Changing the filter works. I have had to clean and replace the filter daily or I get the code. Do you know why they are getting dirty so quickly? And could there be another problem going on?
Cleaning the filter every couple weeks to a month should be normal. Daily, something is wrong, and I'm not 100% sure but there is a senor inside that is either failing or faulty. I think there are videos on RUclips of how to replace that, if you want to try it on your own. If not the company should be able to send you a new pump if it isn't that old.
Please sir. One question. Where i should put the filter. It fits both intake and outtake. At the moment my filter is at the outtake. Should i put it at the intake?
The filters go on the very bottom two for this model. Marked 'C' on the inside of the hottub. If you pause the video at the very beginning you can see the 'C' right above both filters. Hope that helps
This is the second Intex hot tub I've had issues with, I replaced the upper filter and Waila it works perfectly
you saved me a lot of $$$
Thank you.
For me the fix was even easier. Go grab a cup of coffee and read a book for an hour or so. Then start the unit again. Has worked every time...
Even better :D That's awesome
If it works every times, that means that every times you didn't solved the problem. (It's reappearing)
@@yaniklandry-ducharme6877 Since the error kept happening and the company I bought from couldn't fix it or replace the unit I got a full refund instead....after using it the whole summer.
@@yaniklandry-ducharme6877 I gave the manufacturer every chance to resolve it. They couldn't come up with anything that worked.
Any recommendation for an uninflated tub, with a machine that won’t blow air. Also showing E90 code
I always had to completely unplug mine and let it sit for a minute to clear it from having the code. I'm not sure if that helps or not.
It worked
Awesome :D
LoveIt
I just installed mine, the filters are in the right place but as soon as I turn it on I get the E90 error, fitler and heater not working
As in you JUST bought it and put it together and then turned it on and got the error? If so that's not good. If walking through the steps doesn't fix it I would call up the company
I had that error keep coming up. I changed the filters and it hasn't done it again today so far but my filter light isn't kit up on the panel no more and when I press the button it doesn't come on but it's running because I can feel the suction when I take the filter off the hole..why isn't my light on anymore ?
Are they connected to the correct outlets?
@@SmittySahn yes
I never touched the wires inside the unit
Jason do you float Chlorine in a salt water spa
Saltwater hot tubs have a salt cell chlorinator that functions in producing chlorine naturally through an electrolysis process. Therefore you do not need to add chemical chlorine directly into the hot tub to keep it clean and hygienic.
I have new spa , 1 month. I set new filter, and still E90. Only if i take out filter at all , spa works . But it bad, work with no filter ... With new filter no flow .
I'm not sure what is going on with yours. My only guess is to unplug it from the wall and let it sit for a few minutes then put the filter on and then plug it back in and try it again.
@@SmittySahn seller recommend to change part of water and add more water, more that upper level . Now working
Can you change the filter while the spa is full of water?
Yes yes most definitely. I prefer changing it with the pump on and running as well. When I changed it with it off, I would sometimes get the E90 error. Changing it with the pump running there's way less chance of getting air into the line and getting the error. At least from my experience anyway.
I took a filter off while I was in the tub and it was running, the motor went off and started beeping. Can't read the error message b/c the LEDs are messed up. I changed the filters and shut it ll down; I now see that you are not supposed to take the filters off while it is running. Is there anything I can do or does it need s new motor?
You can get an LED replacement for, I think it was like $20 or so. It's just the top part, not the big bottom pump part. That should fix your LED issue, just go to Intex's website and look for replacement parts and then just select the one you have. I've taken the filters off while running and it's just fine, it doesn't break it or anything. I would completely unplug it and then let it sit for 5 minutes and then plug it back in and turn it on, it should be back to normal then.
@@SmittySahn Hi Jason, thanks for the reply. I see the LED part is $45.00 now, so I will wait to see if i can get it running before investing in that. I did try the turning it all off and letting it reset, and that didn't work. Power is on, bubbles work, but no water flow or heat. I changed the filters, no go. About 3 months ago I replaced the (broken) original impeller with a brass rod, maybe that has worn through, it did rattle a bit. Will mess with it tomorrow!
@@barbaramcleod8337 Seems like many places are raising prices to help after all this covid crap and everyone shutting down. sounds like it might be broken again yeah, bummer. Hope you get it working.
filters had nothing to do with the problem. It was the pump and I had a spare from an old system on hand the fixed the problem. It was a 10 min fix.
It's a generic error code, so this code doesn't always mean this is the issue you are having. This did work for me though, so it's something you'll want to take into consideration
Cool, thanks for the info
it is a generic error code for not getting water flow so the filters are the best place to start!
No, that is not the "only" fix for the problem. My filters are clean, my water is always clear b/c I leave the lid on, and I'm still throwing an E90 code. I even tried to replace the pin in the motor for the heater b/c of the notch that can wear into it, but mine didn't have a notch. I'm thinking it's probably trapped air or some part I haven't found yet that is dirty. For people still looking for the answer to their E90 problem, I found a Q&A on Amazon that has a LOT of suggestions, so I'm going to start there. If changing the filters doesn't fix your problem (like it hasn't mine), you might try replacing that pin in the impellar shaft. It was pretty easy to take apart and check. It's a $3 fix versus letting them talk you into a new pump...
I thought my filters "were clean" as well, and as soon as I replaced them it worked perfectly. Yours, not so much. And yeah it's quite annoying that they just jump to sell you some new parts for something you just bought. Dumb.... The filters are not that great and seem to clog things very easily. All I'm saying is just replace the filters as a first step and then go from there. I went through a ton of the Q&As on Amazon as well, but most of the suggestions had to do with tearing the thing apart to "fix" something on the inside. And from many of the other comments, the people that tore apart the pump, that didn't fix it either. I started with some of the suggestions on Amazon from other people having this issue and I tore the pump apart, and those fixes didn't work for me. Every time I took the filters off completely, everything worked perfectly. Which lead me to just put a new filter on and that fixed my issue. I'm not trying to say that will fix everyone, just something to try as a first fix before taking it all apart like I did. And from what I've seen that whole pump unit is crappy at best as well. Which is made clear with the comments people have left on amazon.
Mine's new. Only been running about a week, and I have this error. I guess im off to the message boards as well.
Okay go to my RUclips videos and I will show you how to fix it . Just go to Steven Elliott then my picture will come up and then look for the video
Linda Kirk just replied and said she used a hose to force water through the pump to clear out the air and that worked for her. Might want to try that if you haven't already, or if you haven't found a fix. And no it certainly is not the only fix, I've read through a ton of different ones online and the air filter one was the easiest one to try and it just happened to work for me. I was going to try the hose one next.
@@stevenelliott3444 I looked and didnt you didnt have a video for intex spa E90 code
I don't havy filter on and it still gives me that code I'm so dmn frustrated
You have to unplug it for a few minutes and just let it sit. If you have no filters on at all when you turn it back on the error shouldn't come on. If it does you might have some air in the line. If you have it on, cover your hand over the very bottom filter for 30 seconds or so and then let go of it and let the water get sucked back into it. You might have to do that a couple times, and unplug and plug it back in, in between each time. That should get some water flowing in there and get the air out of the line. If you can plug it in and turn it on with no filters on it and the error doesn't come on then you should be good to unplug it and put the filters on and then turn it back on. If that doesn't work I would call the company. Hope that helps some...
Then unplug it, let it sit a minute and then when you plug it back in and turn it on, hold your hand over the bottom hole next to the pump. (Basically stopping the waterflow into the pump). Hold it there for about 15-20 seconds and then let go. Then wait about 5-10 seconds and repeat. Do that until you get the error again (if you even do get the error again.) If you get the error again, shut it all down, unplug and plug it back in, then turn it on and let it just run on it's own. If you get the error again. Start over and repeat the process again from above. Unplug, plugin, turn on, and hold your hand over the bottom one for 20 seconds or so and then let go. I know you're frustrated, but you might need to repeat that a few times to get the air / water flushed through the pump. Then let me know what happens.
Jason Smith I can not get mine to work and I replaced the pump a week ago now it’s blowing the e90 code again I’m so frustrated
it took ou 2 and 1/2 minutes to say change the filter? Thanks, man...
If RUclips would promote 10-second videos of me being rude and just saying "change the filter dummy"... Then I would make 10-second videos. But RUclips doesn't promote that kind of stuff. So I am respectful and explained everything without rambling on too much. Just to make RUclips happy. This coming from someone with no videos. Thanks... man... For the comment...
we just got ours and it isn't getting hot. Any suggestions?
Could you explain a little more as what's going on, what you've done, not done? It takes quite a while to heat up. They say about 1 degree every hour or two hours. I don't recall exactly. If it has water, filters on, the pump is on, and you pressed the fire looking button to turn on the heat. Then give it about 24+ hours. Also make sure you turn up the heat to 100 or so.
Okay it’s only been running for about eight hours. I just need to be more patient… LOL
@@jenniferelizarrez3960 Yes yes... Slow cooker :D Come back in a day or so :)
I have no filter on right now, just straight e90 code when you turn it on
I'm assuming you meant e90 and not e99, I'm not sure what e99 code would be. Some things you may or may not have tried... Completely unplug it and just let it sit for a minute. Plug it back in and turn it on and see what happens. If you still get the e90, leave it on and hold your hand over the intake hole, (should be the bottom one where the pump is attached) Just hold it over it for 10 seconds or so and let go, this should suck in a bunch of water into the pump. (basically similar to turning it on for the first time). Leave the pump on and do this a couple more times. Then unplug it again and then plug it back in after a minute. If you're still getting the e90 I would probably call the company.
@@SmittySahn e90 yep my pump is gone.. impeller shaft shattered. Yeah my pump never turned on was the problem and it all broke 8 days after my 1 year warranty :( I also checked my sensors while in there, they were super clean. I take care of mine so surprised it broke so soon... everything is like new and clean inside, no wear at all except the broken shaft of course, which seems to be the weak point of this pump.
@@radekw708 Oh man, that blows. I've heard that as well that others had issues right after the 1-year warranty. Mine lasted almost two years till the pump died. Cheap ish hot tub, I guess you can't expect too much from them.
@@SmittySahn Yeah I expected a little more for $750 CAD. I'm gonna see if intex can do anything for me here.
@@radekw708 I would say so for sure, let me know what you find out, I'm certainly curious.
Mine not heating but no code?
I would try replacing your filters first. If not you might need to call them to troubleshoot or replace your unit.
So would you recommend just not putting a filter in the “dummy” filter spot? Seems like you could get twice your money’s worth if it’s not necessary to begin with
I don't know. It does nothing so sure it wouldn't hurt to put nothing there. Considering you can put a light in there, then you certainly don't need a filter there. I put on there, and I just don't change the filter at all. It stays completely clean, so outside of one filter I'm not wasting money on having it in there. If you don't I do not think it changes anything either way.
Thanks for the reply, man. I’ve had mine for a little under a month now, and it’s the newer generation without the elevated control panel. Upon removal of the first two provided filters, I saw that they are both in fact very dirty. Perhaps INTEX decided to actually use the second intake gasket in their updated model
@@rossallen5121 That's interesting, maybe they finally did yeah. The tech support guy told me they had to put it there just to make the regulations people happy. Guessing they finally had to actually use it.. lol nice..
@@SmittySahn I have an updated Spa with the remote control panel. The one filter near the motor (covered with LED Light), was very dirty. I pulled it off and didn't get the error. I'm cleaning the dirty filter, but ordered new OEM filters. First month of having the new Pure Spa Greywood Deluxe. Thanks for all the posts.
@@dkplatt99 Awesome. I'm getting ready to post some more update videos on mine as well. Doing some updates and adjustments to mine :)
Mine wont get hot I need a new filter will that fix it urs only 2 months old
If it is not getting hot a new filter will not fix that. Call the company and let them know.
Im gonna cuz now it’s shocking people
@@Purgeshadowglitch As in it is surprising people? Or it's literally electrocuting you?
Jason Smith literally electrocuting people
@@Purgeshadowglitch Holy crap... Yeah, call the company. :/ I don't understand how or why it could even do that, but that's not good in the slightest. :( Sorry to hear
Took filtdr out did nothing
So for the record the brand is pronounced Inte(x) and not Intech. Its literally printed in bold print right on the side of the unit. While this seems like a small detail it shouldn’t be ignored that many people make this same mistake by pronouncing it this way. That being said it’s also not a pool it’s a hot tub. That being said I too have experienced changing to a new filter works for a bit. I have yet to pull anything apart but that may have to be the next step considering it has happened more than once and after a short period of time. It seems like a fairly expensive habit to just continually change out filters at this pace.
So for the record... You should really start making some of your own videos so others can ridicule you before you start trying to correct other people on their videos. First off, I know what the brand is called I just wanted to see if anyone else got the Office Space reference, and someone did get the reference, so you're a little late to that party. And second, since you want to get really nitpicky, it's not even called a hot tub by the company (Intex). They call it a Spa, or Massage Spa, or Bubble Massage Set. check out their website and you'll see "hot tub" is not really even used anywhere. I called it a spa at the very beginning of the video, and since I didn't edit this particular video at all, I did misspeak and say pool. So I called it a pool instead of a spa (or hot tub as you call it)... Ya got me there. "Changing the filters every month" If you think it is an expensive habit, then maybe you shouldn't own one, or contact the company to get them to re-engineer their product. I did call them a couple times already and they do recommend changing out the filter every month anyway (of course depending on usage). Now on the new hot tub I have I only need to change the filter once a year. I knew that going into purchasing it because that is how it was designed.
Two and half minutes to say, "change the filters."
Well, this isn't TikTok and RUclips doesn't like short videos. (until recently that they are promoting "shorts" videos)
Your filter in the wrong spot
No, both filters go on the bottom spots marked "C". I have called Intex and they told me to put them both on the bottom apart from each other, which is where I have them now. They also told me that the "C" that is across from the pump is really not a filter and it does nothing. By law they are supposed to have a hole there and they are supposed to tell people to put a filter there. Mainly that second "C" across from the pump can be used to put a light if wanted. But they are both in the correct spots. If you put your hand over the top hole were the pump it that hole pushes out water.
Laat het sien
Ek hoop dit werk
Mine must be shot then
That sucks to hear. Sorry about that.
so why not show how to change the filter, instead of just talking about it?
It's just the filters in those two little capsuled areas.
I could have yes, did I think of it at the time? No. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to turn the filter to the left until it comes off, and then take the filter out of the plastic housing (turning the lid to the left again). Take the filter out of the plastic housing, and put a new on in. Then screw the lid back on, and attach the filter to the outlet again. I hope that helps.
Jason Smith do you take the entire filter housing off or just the cap of the housing? Does the filter need to go in a particular way i.e. One end goes in first?
@@iceboardin Right... :) If you followed directions and put the hot tub together, I figured I didn't need to explain how to remove the filters. :D
@@jliang77 I always take the whole housing off, only because I use my hand to cover the hole to flush it out. You can cover it with your hand with the housing on it. The filter is identical on both ends so it can go on either way. Hope that helps.
You're 30 second fix took 2 and 1/2 minutes to explain, but could have been explained in 20 seconds!
If RUclips would promote 10-second videos of me being rude and just saying "change the filter dummy"... Then I would make 10-second videos. But RUclips doesn't promote that kind of stuff. So I am respectful and explained everything without rambling on too much. Just to make RUclips happy.
dude,are you ok? your fix is to change the filter?Wow.wonder if anyones tried that????What the actual fuck dude?cmon
The rod for the impeller on mine is broken in half. That's why I received E90 error code. When I replaced the impeller...it still didn't work and I could here a whirring inside. The shaft on my new impeller was 3 mm too short. Thanks Amazon.
Gotta love that... :/
