❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How much does it cost to run the O-Spa compared to my electric spa heater?

A: The O-Spa saves approximately 75% on running costs. A traditional 3kW electric heater costs around £2,628 per year to run (8 hours/day at £0.30/kWh), while the O-Spa costs just £850 annually – saving you £1,778 per year. Your actual savings depend on usage patterns, local electricity rates, and climate.

Q2: Will the O-Spa work in winter temperatures below freezing?

A: Yes! The O-Spa operates down to -7°C ambient temperature with automatic de-icing protection. However, heating capacity decreases as temperatures drop (this is normal for all heat pumps). Between -7°C and +10°C, we recommend using the included spa heater relay to supplement the heat pump for faster heating. Above 10°C, the heat pump works efficiently on its own.

Q3: How long does it take to heat my spa from 15°C to 38°C?

A: This depends on your spa volume:

• 800L (2-person): ~3.3 hours
• 1,200L (4-person): ~4.9 hours
• 1,500L (6-person): ~6.2 hours
• 2,000L (8-person): ~8.2 hours

These are estimates at optimal conditions (air 26°C). Cold weather increases times. Good insulation and a quality spa cover are essential for efficiency.

Q4: Can I install this myself or do I need a professional?

A: The O-Spa is DIY-friendly for competent installers. It’s plug-and-play with no hardwiring required. However, we strongly recommend professional installation to ensure safety compliance, warranty validation, and optimal performance. Installation requires understanding of hydraulic systems, electrical safety, and heat pump positioning.

Q5: Is the WiFi control included or optional?

A: WiFi control is built into every O-Spa unit – no additional module required. Simply download the free Smart Life app (iOS/Android), follow the pairing instructions in the manual, and you’re ready to control your spa remotely. The app allows temperature adjustment, mode switching, scheduling, and monitoring.

Q6: What maintenance does the O-Spa require?

A: Very minimal! Required maintenance includes:

• Monthly: Check water flow and clean filter
• Quarterly: Clean evaporator fins with soft brush/vacuum
• Annually: Professional inspection of refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and safety systems
• Winterizing: If not using during winter, drain and store indoors

Q7: Can I use this with a salt chlorinator system?

A: Absolutely! The O-Spa is compatible with all water treatment systems including salt chlorinators, bromine, chlorine, and mineral systems. The titanium heat exchanger is corrosion-resistant and designed for saltwater environments. Just maintain pH between 6.9-8.0 and install chemical dosing AFTER the heat pump in the circuit.

Q8: How quiet is the O-Spa? Will it disturb my neighbors?

A: The O-Spa is exceptionally quiet at 32 dB(A) at 10 meters – quieter than a library or quiet bedroom. At the standard installation distance (2.5-3m), you’ll hear a gentle hum similar to a refrigerator. The sound is far less intrusive than filtration pumps or spa jets. Proper positioning away from bedroom windows ensures zero disturbance.

Q9: What’s the difference between the 3kW, 5kW, and 7kW models?

A: The main differences are heating capacity and spa size suitability:

• 3kW O-Spa: Best for very small spas (up to 800L) in warm climates
• 5kW O-Spa: Ideal for most residential spas (800-2,000L) in temperate climates (this model)
• 7kW O-Spa: Designed for large spas (1,500-2,500L) or colder climates

The 5kW model offers the best balance of performance, efficiency, and price for typical UK hot tub owners.

Q10: What happens if the heat pump fails? Do I lose my spa heating?

A: No! That’s the beauty of the integrated spa heater relay (included). The O-Spa is designed to work alongside your existing electric spa heater, not replace it. If the heat pump needs service, your electric heater continues working normally. Plus, you can use both simultaneously in extreme cold for rapid heating – the heat pump switches intelligently between solo and assisted operation.

Q11: Does the warranty cover the titanium coil and compressor?

A: Yes! You get comprehensive warranty coverage:

• 2-year full unit warranty (parts and labor)
• 5-year compressor warranty (manufacturer’s extended coverage)
• 10-year titanium coil warranty against corrosion

This is significantly better than most spa heat pumps which offer only 1-2 year warranties. Always register your warranty within 30 days of purchase.

Q12: Can I control multiple O-Spa units from one app?

A: Yes! The Smart Life app supports multiple device management. If you have multiple spas, holiday properties, or commercial installations, you can control all O-Spa units from a single app account. You can also share access with family members or property managers.
