Lay-Z-Spa Pump/Heater - How to use the Timer Function
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 06. 2017
- This guide shows how to use and set the timer function which is included on all new 2016 & 2017 Lay-Z-Spa pumps.
There are two components to setting the Lay-Z-Spa heating timer:
1. You first set the duration that you would like the heater to stay on for (up to 48 hours) or for any other duration of time you’d like less than this. You can adjust the timing in hourly units.
2. You then set when your spa heater turns on, up to 24 hours in advance. This is also programmable with hourly units.
For more info see our blog: www.lay-z-spa.co.uk/blog/how-d...
So in simple terms, first timer setting you are choosing how long to heat for. The second one is how long UNTIL it starts heating. So if its 9pm when I set it, I set it to 3 hours to make it start at 12pm
Thank you!!!!
I can’t figure it, when I tap the button I can only set the duration. I’ve been messing about with it for ages and can’t switch on the timer!
Good grief - between this and Bestway Global, they do a terrible job explaining. Thank you.
@@pecs2222 - press the timer button, it flashes 0H, press the arrows up/down for how long you want the tub to heat - example 9H.
Press timer button again and the display will read 0H. Up/down arrow for when you want that 9 hour timer to start - example 3H.
Press timer button again and set the temp. It will display the current water temp, press up/down arrows to desired temp - example 96F.
So, in 3 hours, your hot tub will start heating the water from current temp to 96F. It will run for 9 hours.
So, it it took 4 hours to achieve 96 degrees, it will continue to heat and hold the temp for an additional 5 hours before it turns off.
Whew! 😄
@@nosirrahm we don’t deserve you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🎉
Why can’t I just set the timer to come on at one time and go off at another too come one at one time for so long each day?
So for people as confused as I was about the heating duration and heating time function, I found out that the heater does not reset and turn on automatically after the set cycle is complete. Basically how it works is you turn on your pump, touch the timer button and 1st set the heating duration (how long you want the hot tub to heat for), then touch the timer again and set your heating timer (how many hours from that time you set it for, for when the heater kicks on). Example: It is 12pm and I want the heater to start heating my hot tub starting at 5pm and I want it to heat for 6 hours because I want it nice and hot for when I get in it at night time around 9-10pm. So I would click on the timer button and set the heat duration for 6 hours and then hit the timer again I would set the heat time for 5 hours, because for the example I am using it is 12pm and I want the heater to kick on at 5pm, with a heat duration of 6 hours. So at 5pm it will kick on and heat my hot tub until 11pm. It will then shut of and it WILL NOT automatically reset and start again. You will have to go back and do this sequence all over again. Hope this helps the people that are/were just as confused as I was.
D Mo thanks for that, they should really explain that it's a "one time function" it would be much better to have this function repeat. All it's really good for is for when you're not around for up to 3 days.
Good explanation, but the whole idea uses more electricity, because it takes 1500 watts to heat up 1000 liters of water just one degree, so when you turn off
the heater for a few hours, the spa wil cool off alot of degrees, and then you may think that's okay, because you don't use it at night when you are asleep,
but the next day you want a warm tub again, so then the heater has to be on for hours, so you don't save a penny but pay even more.
You are going to pay more for electricity regardless when you own a hot tub. You just have to take that into consideration when you buy one. Figure out how much your electric company charges per kwh. Mine charges 0.06 cents. There are calculators online that can figure out the cost for you www.electricity-usage.com/Electricity-Usage-Calculator.aspx?Device=&Watts=1500&CostPerKWH=0.06&HoursPerDay=10. Yes I do not have mine running during the night, and I do have the heater set to kick on mid morning. I have it run for 10 hours a day and by mid afternoon the hot tub is up to 102-104 F which is where I like it. So for running the heater for 10 hours a day, it costs me $0.90 cents a day/$6.30 per week/$25.20 a month/$327.60 a year. I calculated this out prior to purchasing and YES that is a decent amount of money within a year, but for my family it is well worth it because we use it daily. Other people I know have actual hot tub spas that they paid thousands of dollars for and they said it cost them about $100 a month to heat their hot tub. So I think the Saluspa is worth it!
D Mo ,
Thanks for the example but my head is still done in with this lol - as an example I only want to use my hot tub on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday the rest of the week it will rarely be used. Do I then set the heat duration for 72 hours on a Tuesday so its ready on Friday and then the heat time 72 hours (as I want it on all weekend?) or is it better to set the timer daily? My other question would what happens when the timer isnt set, is the heater constantly working? appreciate any answers on a postcard, this is giving me a huge headache :)
Still doesn’t make sense.
Trust me
When the heater is on should the water going into the tub be very warm like your hot faucet in your house? I set the 1st time thingy to 4 hours the other at 0. It should heat for 4 hours starting instant and shut off at the end of 4 hours. I don't need the delay timer for anything.
Not sure but think this is how it may work. Let’s assume the water is cold as you have not used it for a few days. So temp is prob 15 deg. We know it will takes 12hrs aprox to reach 40deg from cold. My models does so test yours to see how long. if I want it hot for Saturday at 12pm. I would do this. Step 1. Select 12hrs. It will take this long to reach the temp we want. Then step 2 when do you want the heater to start. Well we want it hot for Saturday 12pm. So I want it to start Friday at midnight. This means you can programme the timmer from as early as Wednesday midnight. It only allows 0-24hrs advanced notice to activate.
Once you set the heater temperature time and duration will it come on the same time everyday for the same duration or do you have to repeat this every day thank you
So does the pump have an internal clock that autosets or does it just automatically go when you set the timer?
Liked and Subscribed.
After setting the timer do you then have to then press the heater button to switch the heating off.
I set the timer last night according to the instructions to then come on the following afternoon. When I checked this morning, it had been maintaining the heat all night.

I know it’s been 2 years but did you work this out? Do I need to turn the heat off when the timer is set?
@@victormitchell8668 sorry, don't remember. It's been closer to three years now. It was only used that summer.
After setting the timer, can you turn the entire unit off? Or just turn the heat off? Or turn off heat and filtration, but leave the power on? I’ve tried using the timer twice and it hasn’t worked. Please help.
I want the heater on now. How do I turn the heater on and keep it on for 4 hours? I don't need to wait or delay I want heater on now.
So there's no way to set it to warm up for example 1am to 6am everyday when the eletricity is cheaper. It's all just a 1 off timer like an oven. Pointless feature
Um yes thats exactly what you can do. the first time you set is for how long? 1am to 6 am so 5 hours. Set it to 5. Then set how long away in the future is 1am from you? is it in 7 hours? set 7.
You are a simpleton if you dont understand this.
If I don't set the timer at all and just turn the filter and heater on and set the heat level I want, then does the pump and heater keep working all the time till I turn the heater and filter off?
Yes
@@gwhech but im guessing that will kill your electric bill
@@striker2fall1 yes although it is cheaper to keep it hot that keep having to warm it up. It depends how much you use it.
Gavin Hewitt I’ve got a feeling it will get used most days. So is it best just to turn the temp on to say 35c and just leave it running
@@striker2fall1 i turn mine off at night but have it set to come on in the morning. When the weather is hot it doesnt lose much heat over night. Maybe 5 degrees
I could not be more confused
Can you tell me whether the heater remains on after the timer has finished its duration or does it need to be turned on again?
Don't know the answer for sure, but if it stayed on after, what would be the point of the first setting which is "how long should the heater stay on for?" So I assume it shuts off afterward. So after using (presumably after the timer is done) you'd need to set it again.
I may be really thick but it’s 10pm and I want the spa at 38 degrees next day at 10am. Press timer for 3 hours, then step 2 press timer again for 10 hours. So it will start heating in ten hours for a duration of 3 hours? Do I then tap the heat button? Assuming in 10 hours when the timer kicks in the heat button will turn itself on? Am I correct?? Many thanks
First function is how long you want it to heat for
2nd function is how long till you want it to come on
Yes, it turns the heat on itself. Otherwise, you are correct.
I know you probably figured this out yourself in the year but, for us newbies, I’m answering the question. :)
Is the heater waterproof?
How can i get one and the power consumption the watts
it's about a pound a day not 8
@@TheMarg28 more like £2 a day, keeping it at 36-37. easily £4 a day keeping at 39-40
I keep mine at 40 every day and my electricity bill has gone up just over £28 a month. once it's up to temperature it doesnt ise the heating element that much but the initial heat up period is constant , Your energy supplier is raping you
I have a question. When you set the timer does the circulation come on too or do you need the circulation running all the time?
When the heat is activated, the filtration is automatically activated
Guys how do you save what temperature you want? I want it at 37c but don't know how save it at 37 still goes to 39 lol. Cheers
Did you find an answer to this?
Hi there can any body help me my layzspa maima is not heating up right
Try resetting the Pump. It is a little black button on the side of the pump. You will need something small and thin to press it.
Does the timer control the pump and heater together or just the heater.
Is there a way to disable/override ALL timer function, including the default timer, so my spa does NOT shut off by itself, stays hot and filter constantly?
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same prob and want it to stay on
@@brandoscott7566 No I guess it's made to break/freeze so we buy an other one. The only solution I see is to make an other controler for it! I tried to bypass/jump/splice thru the pump motor but the factory controler throw an error.
does stay on for 72h just make sure u click a button every other day?
Just press the heating button and don't set/touch the timer at all that is what I do
@@helloSam1Am - it shuts down after 72 hours I believe. So you just have to turn it on again.
I put the heat up but it just flashes
Hi did you figute out this problem I am having the same trouble
Water is coming out of air outlet C in to the pump????
I have had this problem with mine double check there is a clear rubber seal attached to the pipe that's connected to the pump. Mine wasn't and I had the same problem. The seal was in the black plastic cap in another bag that is supposed to be used for storing it away when drained. Once I put the seal in it worked fine.
We had the same issue, my wife was responsible for that part of the assembly process (true, not sexist) and had forgot the seal, once fitted the leak was fixed. Oh and disappointed the timer is a “one time” application. Wouldn’t you of thought you could have it on the timer to say switch off mid afternoon when the sun is high for an hour each day repeatedly just to stop it switching off completely as mine has during the night and now my water temperature is down to 30 degrees rather than the 36 we like to keep it ticking over when not in use 😡
Some one help I set my temperature to 40c but it keeps flashing going bk to 11c someone plz help
It's still set.. It flashes at that temp. You set on.. Example 40.. And then bonce back to What temp the water is now.. Keep an eye on it. And you Will se. It go. Up
I've just bought the lazy spa hawaii its filling with water as I speak can I set the heat to go on NOW ?
No point because you're filling it with cold water. Waste of money.
This is one of those "can't be" moments! After some research, it turns out that they have actually used a timer that works only once ... yes only once, on their spa! Why???? Anyone who buys a spa will want to normally heat it once per day, or at least get the pump running for an hour or so to keep chemicals distributed. But no ... Their spas will switch on once after you set it, and then after that one time, you have to go set the timer again!!!!! Quite incredible! My real worry now, is that if they could be that stupid with a simple timer, what could they have done with the electrics in general, and do i trust them not to electrocute me?
I can't get pump power on new spa, it continues to reset. So I've not gotten to blow up with air or fill with water. I thought it was a bad pump so ordered a 2nd spa, this pump is doing exact same. any ideas?
Did you press the power button for 2 secs to start the control panel function. Thats what you need to do. My hubby was having same issue until i came and rescued him.
So if you turn the timer off then does the heater keep the spa heated continuously?
It looks like it to me. I have only had mine a few days and I've not messed with the Duration or Timer at all and it just keeps on running and maintaining the 101 degrees I set it at.
Unfortunately no. I just got on to figure out why and read that it will auto shut off after 72 hours no matter what.. kinda pissed but at least now we know
Ah, we meet again. Confused Lay-z-spa owners, who for years have been struggling to understand how on earth we use the things correctly.
Is there another company put there with such abysmal instructions? With each attempt to help these guys just muddy the waters even more. It’s astonishing.
The Bestway Global page won’t even allow comments on their terrible video. 😂
how to fix E03 ????
support.bestwayaftersales.co.uk/faq/get-help-with-your-lay-z-spa-pump/#E03
Temperatures Is too cold. Either the water is too cold or the unit is cold outside. Insulating the pump off the ground and cover it from the cold or warm the water will fix it.
my lazy spa is stuck on 18 degrees wont get any higher how can i reset the temperature as its too cold at 18 degrees is the Helsinki hot tub
Push the black reset button on the back of the filtration unit
How do you deflate the lazy spa hot tub
Vegas model
Are you talking about for storage or just to release a little excess air. You need to unhook the pump and then unscrew the exterior plug completely where you inflated it (unscrew and pull out the whole plug).
With a knife.....
Can anyone tell me why my lazy spa deflates as soon as I take the pump off
איך מחממים את המיים
My tempature keeps flashing at 23 has anybody any ideas of how to get it up to 40c for it to stick at that
I have just bought the lazy spa helsinki now this is my first time having a hot tub can anyone help me in how to heat up the water and how to work the heat setting to heat the water as soon as i have filled it do i need to use the timer or just put a timer on at all???
Jamie Fairlie have you read the manua
@@southcoastairsports I did not get a manual or are you talking about that little print of a manual that does not even tell you how to set the thing up. OH I am frustrated. TYIA
Just got the same one have the same issue no manual what buttons do what and how, I found a pump operations manual on their web site however its for the Monoco but is the same as the Helsinki download that manual
je le rouve compliqué celui j'en ai eu un autre auparavant bien plus simple d'utilisation
This is a dumb feature. I want the tub at 104 all the time. It’s a t 102 nonstop and I can’t get it to 104.
Mine stopped hitting 104, I realised the lid had deflated a little bit so pumped some more air into in and when putting the lid on I really push it down to "seal" the heat in properly. Seems like a small thing but made a big difference.
Go buy a reflective insulation roll that’s Normally used for garage doors and some black gorilla tape and apply it underneath the hot tub and around heater pump leaving a space on top for your hand to fit to press buttons etc, also wrap the intake hose with this as well, and also make sure your inflated top cover has enough air and is sealed, I use and air compressor it works well, in the winter time or if it’s cold out you can leave this on and just lift it up get in and put it back down with your head sticking out or if you want a sauna affect go underneath , this will keep the heat in and feels great.
you set it for 6/7 hrs on then when to start.I set mine for midnight,off peak eletrricity for 6 hrs.Half the price.;;
Hi how do you do this please has I have just got a Miami one and using loads of electric I would want it to come on at midnight because I am leaving it on all night so the I don't loose the temperature thanks Gareth
Gareth Bartram hi here is how I done mine press timer set how long you want it to heat up for I do 8 hrs then press timer again then set how long before timer to start so if it 10 am and to want the heater to come on at 10 pm you set it to 12hrs that’s it
@@1860wright will this be set for everyday then or just the once?
Grumpy Sheep just once
@@1860wright so what the point of this
I can’t increase the temperature past 28 degrees, every time i try to change it it instantly goes back to saying 28 again and won’t let me increase it
Hi Hannah. Thank you for your question. When the temperature increase or decrease arrows are pressed on the pump this will show the desired temperature. After a few seconds it will then revert back to show the current actual temperature of the pool. On average a Lay-Z-Spa heats by 1.5-2°C/h (3-4°F/h) per hour. You should therefore see the actual temperature increase overtime should you have set the target temperature to 40°C for example. I hope this helps and kind regards, Ben :)
HannahBears how do i increase the temperature
@@Lay-Z-Spa-UK hi I have the Miami. Do I constantly leave the heater and pump on or do I turn off when finished as the next day would be cold water etc ..or what if I don't use for say 3 days do I turn off etc cause IV been told it takes ages to heat back up from cold I'm confused
This timer is so confusing and not helpful. Like everyone says, it should heat for a specific time each day. Ugh. If you use an outside timer, the pool will reset every time. Oh well.
Yup. What he said. (Nerf Boy). Stupid people can't even get a simple idea across clearly. Still experimenting, as I can't see anybody would make such a stupid arrangement. I must be wrong...
Okay I think I get this.....
The first one is how long the heater will remain on
The second one is how long from now will the first time start
So its 11pm, I want to the heater to turn on at 12am for 8 hours. First timer is 8 and the second is 1
The purpose of this is for those who do not use the spa everyday... I have noticed just leaving it on one temperature and the heater to maintain it. The water is heated 8 hours out of 24. And that is for no one to use it
Add that up for 5 days. Saying I use it on the weekends for conversations sake. That's 40hours of wasted energy
Leaving the heater off the water temperature only drops so far (I live in the UK south and it sits at 25c in the summer with no heater) takes 8-10 hours to heat back up to 38c
You now have just reduced 40 hours of heating down to 8 and at a time of night where electricity is cheaper
That is the point of the feature
Have somebody talking so you can understand it
Not sure this helps their brand - saying this is a timer is misleading and really unhelpful. Very poor.
