Intex PureSpa Error Code Fix and Reset

[@ColleenNewtonPause]

Thanks for making this video. After dealing with the dreaded E81 MANY times over the years, I suspect this happens to mine whenever there is an interruption to the electric or the wifi, as it seems to correspond with power surges, overnight router updates, etc. I struggled with the reset until I tried this: Step 1: Take the control panel from the pump unit and hold it in your hand Step 2: Press and hold the on/off button for more than 5 seconds to turn off the control panel Step 3: Unplug the pump unit from the power outlet Step 4: Place the control panel, which is still off, back on the pump unit Step 5: Plug the pump unit back into the power outlet and activate the spa with the RESET (Rücksetzen) button and wait for 1 to 3 seconds Pay attention! Do not press the TEST button, this will turn off the spa again The control panel will then reconnect and display the temperature. Please note: the control panel is still off. To operate the control panel, you have to switch on the control panel. I have the devil of a time trying to turn it back on, but eventually get there.

Jeff, the reset as you told worked for me. We had a small Electric faillure for 2 seconds. So I think that was the course.

[@imdeplorable2241]

Jeff, I would really like you to do a video about insulating that hot tub, heating it with a tankless propane heater, and the results you have with that setup.

[@gotboompah]

Hey Jeff I just had the same issue and legit the same environment here temperature wise (40s and sometimes dipping into 30s but not freezing). So it’s good to hear that it was just a quick reset. Mine’s working again too! 🎉

[@mattbrennan8088]

Thank you. Mine had an error code of low salt. Added salt. Code didn't go away. Now it works

[@jimfrala6739]

Just got the Intex Pure Spa!! Love the tub. Set up is easy. I am experiencing a steady leak but all connections are tight. I did have the error code E 80/ E81 but resetting fixed it, Thank You !!

[@zennychild6339]

The steady leak is probably from not having the silicone seal ring thingys things on it, that was my issue

[@jeffwebster7091]

Jeff mine does it every so often, I just keep trying and keep trying and it usually does ok. Not very happy about it, only had it two months.

[@lizzt76]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I just set my new 2022 square intex spa and it was doing this. I was very frustrated... thank you so much for your help

[@rbaran9656]

How long did it take to heat? It’s been 24 hours for me and only 88 degrees but it feels luke warm

[@debrapietrzak1257]

It worked on mine also, by unplugging and plugging it back in. Thank you!

[@trevorshenton2363]

Thanks Jeff, you fixed my hot tub problems, excellent video, thank you!

[@jeannieclapham4600]

I've tried all of these suggested work around tips. Still showing E81 on the screen and beeping. New filters fixed the E90 codes. Temp in 50s at night here in Iowa. Not sure what else to try? I've had nothing but problems with this hot tub.

[@proslackerr3972]

You ever get this fixed?

[@kevinblack4036]

Thanks Jeff give this a go around when i get home from work

[@ElectronicsandGuns]

I’ve had an Intex inflatable hot tub for a couple years. You are correct that when the water fails to get to temperature after around 24 hours it just shuts off and you have to restart it again, it’s really pretty annoying and I wish it would just keep trying to heat the water even if it’s not reaching full temperature.

[@HotTubOwnerHQ]

Thanks, Matt

[@Augownage]

It will flash END if the heater is unable to reach the set temperature after 72 hours. This can be caused be extreme cold, not enough insulation from your cover (Are you using an energy saving cover that comes all the way down to the ground?) or if the heater is having difficulties. You should be able to wake it back up by pressing the filter button. E81 is if you lose wireless signal between the pump unit and control panel. This can be caused by excessive distance between the two. If you have a new pump and re-use the old control panel, I do not know how to pair the two together.

[@ddc4374]

I have just bought one. It doesn’t charge. How do they charge. It had a little battery power when I installed it so I know the bubbles etc work. It just doesn’t charge and I can’t do a thing without the power. Thank you for your video. Love your pussie x

[@flintstone7404]

Thank you so much Jeff for the information. I really enjoy your instruction videos. Can you please show us how the pool works and where the bubbles come from or come out? Since I still haven't received my hot spring spa ordered in june 2020 I consider get me one of those inflatable ones.

Thanks for the comment. Because of all the comments I get, and my inability to answer them all in a timely manner, I answered yours in a video scheduled for 2/22/21. Please check it out and thanks for being here! - Jeff

[@mattwatts4088]

It worked! Thanks for saving me a trip to the pool store! :D

[@Buitenritreserverennl]

Thanks, was already in stress over it. Just bought the spa.

[@officialmajesticmatty3004]

Heyy mate how are you doing I did what u said but it still says E81

[@simms87]

I did that…. And it worked for me. …. Random. It’s mild where I am, I’m not convinced it’s to do with the outside temp. Reddit says control unit …. People have had units replaced with same error

[@donhiggins1196]

How about episode on the salt treatment system

[@johnfriermood6028]

Hey Jeff I replaced my entire pump unit but it didn't come with a display so I used the old one, now I'm getting the E81 error and I can't get it to connect, do you have any insight

[@superviet]

Hi sir. Is there a setting for the purespa to stay inflated all the time?

[@rubensosatuub]

I had an E81 after power overloads. Too many power users hooked up

[@JohnMFritsch]

I woke up to an E81 the first morning after initial setup. The GFCI on the plug kept tripping. Other devices on the same circuit were functioning just fine. I plugged a hair dryer with a GFCI plug into the same outlet as the spa and it worked fine. My suspicion is when my grow light turned on at 8am, it was too much for the spa to run as well and the GFCI sense the additional draw and tripped? Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how I got it reset but after several iterations of unplugging it and powering off/on the control panel, it started working again. I moved the grow light to another circuit and (knock on graywood) I haven't gotten another E81 since.

[@mofoco1971]

@@JohnMFritsch thanks for the tip mine is doing the same thing only when i turn on the heater, tried other outlets still keeps doing it.

[@Ian-ic9lv]

Hi. I think your cover needs inflating? Mine look like it fits better than yours shows in the video.

[@theEmilieClark]

Hi Jeff, we just inflated the hot tub and the valve seems to leak. Are we doing something wrong?

[@ocrushjam]

Hey Jeff Have you had any issues with your tub jets coming on and off by itself? I have no codes.

[@karolgausvik5323]

We have the same hot tub. One of our filters has no suction. Any ideas?

[@benjaminklein7299]

That worked the first 2 times. But I reset and test but my jets still run with the power turned off.

[@Trowbridge09]

Hey Jeff I bought the PureSpa by Intex inflatable. I got everything setup and the salt added in correctly, but having trouble getting the unit itself to connect to the app. Any how to videos for that? Thanks in advance, Jared

[@immomgarcia1428]

After cleaning and replacing filters I got error E90 I do not feel any suction on Main filter when I replace the filters when I remove the filters I get good suction

[@stevenenyeart8217]

My tub bulged on one side, looked it up. Deflated it. Now code E81 and air/bubble pump is no longer working

[@michaelzev6163]

What about E90? I troubleshooted the problem and discovered it happens due to the heating element but how do I fix it? That's the real question.

[@jospleizier10]

Chance waterfilter wil help.

[@roweshowtactical]

What extension cord are you running?

[@lizazagirova]

My pure spa is turning off after 20 minutes of working. What can be a problem?

[@giovannibenuzzi9950]

Hi. Does your PureSPA works with the “Intex SPA Management App” (on IPhone/Android) via Wi-Fi? Could you make a video about it? Thank you so much

[@DT-ol6nj]

Internal battery may be dead does it work when it's on the unit

[@TattsnGuns]

Well that was easy

[@robertcavin1108]

I am also having problems with E81 and E90 I called intex and they told me my warranty was out and I would need to buy 13031, Spa Control Base For 28439/28441 I'm losing my freaking mind

[@TattsnGuns]

@@robertcavin1108 get it fixed yet?

[@elleyz8813]

It’s probably because you have it plugged into an extension cord.

[@benscreeton5565]

It does look like you have the hot tub cover on correctly.. Mine don't look like that.. Thanks
