Page 30: Operational Problems
Troubleshooting Operations No Power (Breaker Tripping Constantly) 1. Verify wiring of the GFCI breaker. (New Installs Only) a. The neutral wire to the spa must be connected to the GFCI breaker, not a neutral bus bar. b. If neutral wire is not connected directly into the breaker, the breaker will not turn on. - Page 31 Troubleshooting Operations No Power (Breaker Holding - No Display/Response) cont. 3. Test topside control. a. Turn off power at breaker/cord. b. Unplug topside control from circuit board. c. Turn on breaker/cord. d. Wait up to 20 minutes. e. If spa pumps turn on, replace topside control. 4.
- Page 32 Troubleshooting Operations Pump/Blower Not Operating cont. 3. Replace the spa pack. a. If the topside button is illuminating, the fuse is good, the spa has the proper voltage, but the pump plug port is providing incorrect or no voltage to the pump, or if the spa pack is providing voltage to both high and low speed at the same time, replace the spa pack.
- Page 33 Troubleshooting Operations Spa overheating 1. Why a spa overheats. a. Spas are designed to get hot and do not contain a cooling system. b. A spa can over heat if the outside temperature is hot, the spa is in direct sunlight, the filtration cycle is set too high, or a possible stuck relay on the circuit board.
- Page 34 Troubleshooting Operations Unresponsive controls First determine if 1 button is failing to operate, all buttons fail to operate, the display is blank, any codes are present, buttons do not operate proper components, or the screen is constantly cycling. If one component button is failing to operate, first unplug and plug in topside. Inspect fuse and component port for power.

Questions and answers
WHAT SIZE CIRCUIT BREAKER DOES THE 220VOLT REQUIRE
The required circuit breaker size for the Evolution Spas model 6-1000 at 220 volts is not specified in the provided context. Therefore, it cannot be determined.
This answer is automatically generated
It is taking a really long time to heat out spa. Just cleaned it and filled it up today. It has been running for 9 hours and only at 60 degrees so far.
Your Evolution Spas 6-1000 may be taking a long time to heat up due to several factors:
1. Filtration Cycle – If the spa is in a filtration cycle, the primary pump may not switch off until the cycle is complete, which could slow down heating.
2. Low Outside Temperature – If the surrounding temperature is cold, the heater will take longer to reach the set temperature.
3. Heater Issues – Ensure the heater is receiving the proper voltage. If not, it may need to be replaced.
4. Freeze Protection Mode – If the spa is in freeze protection mode (below 44°F/6.7°C), the pumps will run to prevent freezing, which could affect heating efficiency.
5. Set Temperature – Verify that the set temperature is correctly adjusted and not too low.
Adjusting the filtration cycle to the recommended F2 setting and ensuring proper heater function can help improve heating time.
