Because the company has been around since 1978, Beachcomber's hot tubs vary in their specifications. Before you carry out any troubleshooting on your own, refer to your tub's user manual. You'll find some consistency in the company's offerings, however; although Beachcomber's lineup ranges from five-seaters to eight-seaters, with water capacities running the spectrum from 175 gallons to 437 gallons, its hot tubs share many of the same troubleshooting procedures. Likewise, Beachcomber's tubs -- from the Beachcomber 321 to the 750 -- rely on the same error codes, which help you identify the causes of some common problems.
Water Woes
If your Beachcomber's water feels tepid, first make sure the tub is not in standby mode, which suspends all of the unit's functions. You can enter standby mode by pressing the “Warm” button or the “Cool” button, then pressing the “Massage 2” button; press any button to exit standby. If the tub displays an “OHH,” “OHS,” “OH” or “HH” error message, it has overheated; do not enter the water in this case. Instead, remove the tub's cover until the water cools, then press the “Reset” button on the control panel to restart heating. Draining your hot tub at least once every three months helps keep water clean and clear, as does the use of an internal pipe cleaner as part of your hot tub's water balancing regimen.
Pressure Problems
When you experience weak water flow, indicated by a “DR” error message on your Beachcomber's control panel, check and open all of the knife valves, the T-shaped handles located on the spa's pump connections. Pull the plunger up to open each valve, and press it down to close it. As an alternative solution to pressure-related problems that inhibit water flow and weaken the jets, shut the tub down, close all of its knife valves, remove the Hush Pump's face plate and manually discard any debris found under the plate. Raise your tub's water levels to about 1/2 inch above the skimmer opening -- the horizontal opening just under the filter compartment's lid -- to remedy surges in jet pressure.
Filter Fixes
A dirty filter can cause all kinds of problems for your Beachcomber hot tub, including cloudy water, decreased water flow, temperature inconsistencies, foul odors and degradation of equipment. To remedy -- or better yet, prevent -- these problems, clean the tub's microfilter regularly. Put the hot tub in standby mode and open the filter compartment by twisting the handle counterclockwise. Remove the cylinder-shaped microfilter and discard any visible debris from the filter's basket. Thoroughly rinse the filter and basket with a spray nozzle, then soak the filter overnight in Beachcomber's Filter Pure solution and rinse it once again before replacing it. Beachcomber recommends cleaning the filter once every two weeks and replacing it at least once every two years.
Beyond the Basics
Some issues -- such as sensor problems, a faulty circulation pump or a defective heating element -- call for professional assistance. Contact Beachcomber's customer care department at 1-800-663-6557 or 604-591-8611 for problems of this nature. When purchased new, Beachcomber's warranty covers factory-installed hot tub components for two years, acrylic shell surfaces for five years and the tub's shell structure for a lifetime. This coverage extends to materials and labor.
