Always in-stock! This 2010 No-Fault PDR Titanium Heater is the newest factory upgrade replacement heater from the makers of Hot Springs spas. Its double-pass sleek design replaces all previously discontinued heater styles. The double-pass feature efficiently heats the water in two stages and oh what a perfect job it does! Now factory approved and warrantied for all 115 volt 1.5kW and 230 volt - 6kW installations for all 1995-now Hot Spring and Tiger River spa models. Your existing 3/4" vinyl tubing will attach to this heater with no worries. The thermistors have different thread sizes to insure they can't accidentally be reversed when re-installing them into this new PDR heater. The also have different tips on the ends of the wire to insure they can't accidentally be plugged into the wrong port on the IQ Control Box.
This replacement heater doesn't have a plug on the end of the power cord like on the 1995-1996 spas. In most applications, the heater is connected directly inside the spas control box. If your existing heater plugs in to the bottom of your control box, you may need the appropriate adapter. Adapters are listed next to your spa model on the chart below.
Tip: You can also utilize the cord end (plug) from your old No Fault heater and splice it onto this new PDR if needed.

Note: This PDR (power-down-reset) heater eliminates the manual reset button, which means that you never need to remove the equipment door to reset the heater. Simply power down the spa for 30 seconds by either tripping off the GFCI breakers in the sub panel (on 230volt models) or unplugging the spa (115volt models). This heater replaces all heaters in all 1995-now Hot Spring & Tiger River spas which includes the No Fault® 6000 heaters, Watkins No Fault® 5500 and the No-Fault 1500 cartridge style heater. Replacement Hint: It's easier to replace a heater if the spa is drained. However, some folks leave the water in the spa, disconnect the vinyl tubing from their old heater and insert wine corks into the ends of the vinyl tubing. This insures a minimal amount of water loss during the change out.
3/4" diameter (ID) by 24" long section of specially made thick walled, clear vinyl tubing. This thick walled tubing will stand up to the harsh chlorinated spa environment for years to come. This is the size of tubing that connects the circulation pump to the heater in all Hot Spring and Tiger River spas from 1990-2008. Use the 1/2" tubing for 1982-1989 Hot Spring spa models.

This jumper is used to bypass the pressure switch on the 2002-forward IQ 2020 control box. The PDR Titanium Replacement Heater has its own automatic cut-off in the event of a low flow condition thus negating the need for a pressure switch. After installing the PDR heater simply plug this bypass jumper into the port on the IQ 2020 Control Box that's marked "Pressure Switch". That's it!

I called and described my hot tub problem to Dale. Once provided with the make, model and S/N, he was able to determine the part that I wanted, recognizing a couple of additional parts that I would need as well. Very knowledgable. Great customer service, and quick shipping with tracking. I'm a repeat customer, and I call no one else for spa problems. Thanks Dale! Hide more ...
