Discuss this serviceWhat to expect
This service focuses on electrical and control-system faults rather than general spa servicing. It can cover loss of heat, nuisance tripping, dead or intermittent controls, error codes, pumps that will not start and faults within the control pack or supply. The make, model, installation and available technical information are checked before the likely scope is confirmed.
Subject to diagnosis, safe access and parts availability, work can include replacing heater assemblies or elements, circuit boards and PCBs, control packs, sensors, relays, contactors, circulation pumps and jet pumps. The user-facing control panel is commonly called the topside or topside control panel, and compatible replacements can be fitted where available. Compatibility is confirmed from the equipment details; a fault code alone is not treated as proof that a particular component has failed.
The electrical supply, protective devices, isolator, internal wiring and individual loads are assessed as appropriate before recommending parts. This helps separate an installation fault from a failed heater, pump, sensor or control component and reduces unnecessary replacement work.
Read the IET's hot-tub electrical guidanceFaultline Electrical does not offer leak detection, pipework repairs, shell repairs, water treatment, routine cleaning or chemical balancing. A pump may be replaced where the electrical and mechanical work is within scope and the plumbing connections can be safely managed, but leaks or damaged pipework may need a dedicated hot-tub plumbing specialist.
Useful details include the make and model, serial or control-pack label, displayed error code, when the fault started, whether the RCD or breaker trips and any recent work. Clear photographs of the control panel, equipment bay, data labels and consumer unit can make the first visit easier to plan.

Common questions
No. The service is for electrical and control-system faults. Leaks, damaged plumbing, shell repairs and water treatment should be handled by an appropriate hot-tub plumbing or servicing specialist.
Yes, where testing confirms the heater or element is faulty and a compatible replacement is available. The supply, protective devices and related controls are considered before the part is replaced.
Yes. A hot-tub control panel is also commonly called a topside or topside control panel. Circuit boards, control packs, topsides and related control components can be replaced where the correct compatible part can be identified. Manufacturer-specific programming or locked systems may require additional support from the manufacturer or an authorised specialist.
Yes, for suitable electrical faults and component replacement. Swim spas can have larger or more complex systems, so access, supply arrangements, equipment details and parts availability are reviewed before the scope is agreed.
Stop using it and do not keep resetting the protective device. Isolate the hot tub if this can be done safely, note when the trip occurs and arrange electrical diagnosis. Water and electricity require particular care, and the protective device may be operating because a genuine fault is present.
