Restore Heat, Jets, and Water Flow

Spa and Hot Tub Repair in Lakeland

When your spa or hot tub in Lakeland or a surrounding area stops heating, loses pressure in the jets, or leaks water, the issue is usually tied to the pump, heater, plumbing, or control system. Florida Aquascapes diagnoses and repairs these problems to restore proper water circulation, heating, and jet performance.


The repair process starts with testing the system to identify whether the issue is mechanical, electrical, or related to water flow. Common repairs include replacing pumps, fixing heater elements, clearing clogged jets, and sealing plumbing leaks. The goal is to restore full functionality, improve energy efficiency, and extend the life of the spa without replacing the entire unit. Repairs apply to both standalone spas and hot tubs connected to pool systems.


If your spa or hot tub isn't working correctly in Lakeland or across Central Florida communities, contact Florida Aquascapes to schedule a diagnostic and repair.

What Gets Fixed During Spa Repairs?

The technician tests the heater, pump, and jets to determine where the system is failing. If the water isn't heating, the heater element or thermostat is checked and replaced if needed. If jets aren't working, the pump and air lines are inspected for blockages or motor failure. Leaks are traced to cracked plumbing, worn seals, or loose fittings, and those parts are repaired or replaced.


After the repair, you'll notice the water heats to the set temperature, jets produce consistent pressure, and the system runs quietly without leaking. The spa will use less energy if the pump or heater was inefficient, and water circulation will improve if clogs or airlocks were cleared.


Some repairs involve replacing control boards, upgrading pumps to variable-speed models, or installing new jet assemblies. The work depends on the age of the spa, the type of system, and how well it's been maintained. Repairs focus on the components that affect heating, circulation, and safety rather than cosmetic issues.

Typical Questions Before Repair

Homeowners usually ask what causes spa failures, how long repairs take, and whether fixing the system is worth it compared to replacement.

What causes a spa to stop heating?
Heating failure is usually caused by a bad heater element, faulty thermostat, or insufficient water flow. Low water levels or clogged filters can also prevent heating.
Why do spa jets lose pressure?
Weak jets are often caused by a failing pump, clogged air lines, or blocked jet nozzles. Air leaks in the plumbing can also reduce pressure.
How long do spa repairs take?
Most repairs take one to three hours depending on the issue. Part replacement may require ordering components, which can add a few days to the timeline.
What are the most common spa repairs?
The most common repairs involve pumps, heaters, jets, and plumbing leaks. Control boards and sensors are also frequently replaced in older systems.
When should I replace the spa instead of repairing it?
Replacement makes sense if the shell is cracked, multiple systems are failing, or repair costs exceed half the price of a new unit. Otherwise, targeted repairs extend the spa's life.

A repaired spa in Lakeland by Florida Aquascapes heats properly, maintains jet pressure, and runs efficiently without leaking or wasting energy. Most issues can be fixed without replacing the entire system, especially if the shell and cabinet are still in good condition.
