Thank You for this video !!!!! Past few days has been mind numbing painful could not get the E96 error to go away for nothing, watching this video i took back off and gained access to board i then plugged unit back into outlet and while beeping removed #3 wire from bored when panel lost power connected wire back on board with in seconds poof no more error hot tub fired right up!!! All is back to normal .....Thank You !!Thank You !! Thank You ... if it continues i’ll end up doing same and installing the switch like you did....
What I did was clean the two sensors off with a dollar bill, a trick I learned from a furnace tech years ago, the two hex nuts on each side of manifold. Also put something over holes while cleaning because water will flow.
I tried your method, it didn’t work. I’m at a lost now. It was working fine I just brought it outside have it all apart now. I blew the tub up after that filled the tub with water now I’m getting the code.
Didn’t know if you would know the answer to this, when we first plug in the spa the temperature says it’s 118 F we then place the temperature we would like it to be which was 95 F and hit the heat button within minutes it’s says E96 error
Crystal Williams yes you need to replace the temp sensor. There is 2. Low temp and high temp. Your high temp is bad. There is no exact replacement. You will just have to ebay one and wire it in.
@jbrown198522, I just wanted you to know that your solution worked fantastic! I added a switch inline just as you have shown and the water temperature is back up to 98, with NO error codes! Thanks for the solution!
What i have done is take an old cheap pool pump with the filter in it. Pulled the filter out and the pump guts. Take a electric hot water heating element and modify the lid for it to fit into it. Make sure to get a 110v element. A 220 will work. But are more expensive. And if you do that get one that is double the wattage. It will only use have the wattage on 110. The 110 ones are around $20. Wire it up. Make sure to use ground neutral and hot with a 3 prong plug. Get a gfci for safety. Splice it into the hoses going to the pump from the tub. Run it. Make sure to crack open the lid a little to make sure all the air is out. Plug that in and with cover on i usually seen temps up to 112-115 depending on ambient air temps. The tubs element shuts off at 104. But the nice thing about doing this is when you are enjoying it and it gets down to 103. And both elements are running it holds the heat alot longer. Down fall is make sure its on its own circuit otherwise you could pop a breaker with both elements running. If you are not capable of making this and it be safe please dont. Its not worth playing with water and electricity. I just myself know what im doing. Also. If you dont want to tie into the plumbing on the tub pump. You can leave the pump together in the filter pump and just put the hoses over the side of the hot tub. Will just have to prime the hose to get it to start pumping.
@@jbrown198522 Thanks for the detailed response but I found (minus the necessary details) elsewhere online that you can "jump" the heating sensor with a a resistor
@@bobbarker3705 i dont recommend that. Cause then the element will never shut on and off. It will always be on. And that could cause an issue. If something went wrong with it.
99% of the time the e90 code is a bad impeller rod. take out of the pump on the bottom (be careful removing screws and such as they can get messed up) and take the pump apart. inside you'll see the impeller (white with fins) pull it out(magnetized) and inside middle is a rod and it will most likely be in piece or worn down at spots. go to home depot with the rod from the pump and buy a brass rod (they sell them in like 3 ft lengths. cut it to the same length with a metal saw or a dremel with a cut off wheel and insert the new rod. don't forget the black rubber boots on both ends and this will work for about 2-3 months depending on often you change the filters. but the pumps cost $60 the rod costs about $5 and you'll get about 10 rods out of one stick so that will last a couple of years.
Why not just replace the filters for a better quality only.. since that keeps the error away!?! Sorry I’m not a rocket scientist, but it’s just plane logic.
I watched your video, it was hard to see the exact connections. I took #3 wire off connected that to switch then other switch wire to where #3 was. It still coded n96. Did I do it wrong?
I have the same problem e96 since I’ve used my spa been waiting on warmer weather. I unplug my base brought it out side fill the tub with air and then started filling the tub with water and now it’s coding e96 . I tried the wires but nothing has changed still error code. I not sure what to do next?
Hi my unit doesn't seem to be getting any power to it ,there's no digits on the display it's just blank......can anyone shed some light on the subject thanks in advance
i done this but i still have a problem with the unit throwing the e96 i have good filters and everything this worked for a day and has not worked since do you have any suggestions?
Any luck Chris? My Intex Purespa is displaying e96 and was just working great. Had it 14 months so no warranty. Intex customer support wants to sell you new control base $300. It just needs to be reset. Circuit board is in great shape nothing burnt on circuit board. Was working great not sure what happened. GFCI working great. Thanks
Michael Graham hi Michael... I turn on my spa unit gives me a clear panel I turn on the bubbles everything is functioning I've cleaned out all the screens for the filters and replace filters I am still having a E90 code I'm not sure where this flow sensor is although I've taken a couple of things out a black wire going to a chrome nut that seems to be absolutely nothing inside and water flows freely reinstall checked all the connections there's no condensation under the cowl it's plugged into a functioning GFI unit I'm stumped any help my friend flow sensor I don't see a flow sensor according to the manual ....directing me to go and find this sensor it leads me to Nowhere what am I doing wrong frustrated.... In Rochester New York
Bobby Phillips hey man such a great little hot tub it was given to me as a gift from family for Christmas.... Did not set it up until June because weather was lousy here in New York change the filters in it which is what prompted the E90 code and I have been playing around with it for three weeks and getting the runaround from the manufacturer stressed out and disappointed and it was a gift I'm not buying a $300 pump in unit for it..... So Merry Christmas
christopher standard as far as i know of and all the research that i have done there is no actual fix for the e96. Its a computer malfunction basically sums it up. Mine did it often. Then one day it just stopped and hasnt done it in a while.
@@jbrown198522 I have not modified it. Its a very cheap hot tub I doubt it will ever read over 104. I may get it over 104 but it wont go over that. Its hot just not hot enough for me.
Hi I’ve problem with e96 error. Doing what I’ve learnt to get rid of the error, the unit will start . I only start the pump it runs only for 10mins then the error comes on again it flashes and beeps. If I turn the heater on with the pump running it will only run for a few minutes. It’s had no time to heat up at all .Any suggestions anybody.
judith bates i’m sorry to hear about your problem! I have the same issue. What model do you have? The Facebook profile for the Entex spa has terrible reviews and zero customer service! There has to be a way to get our moneys worth out of these things!
Masked Banana actually no. That was the first thing i tried. Thats why i went as far as to do all this. Like the previous reply. The capacitors store power. I had left it unplugged over night one time and it still had this code. Now this this i just hit the switch and within 10 seconds every time it resets it.
Jo French feel free to message me on fb. My account name is Jeremy Scooter Brown. I will gladly help you and send you pictures of what wires to look for.
jbrown198522 Hi Jeremy I’m Jeremy too! These intext kits are great however like you I have had the same problems with the e 96 but like one of the recent people who dropped you a line my pure spa has no number 3 or 4 it is just 125678910 11 12 I guess cos so many people have had difficulty with this error code they have wired more recent models in a different way? I have noticed there is now a newer advert for this spa and the kit has changed there is now a RESET button on the screen control so maybe they watched your clip and decided they should do what you did but officially put it into the system. However this is no help to me as I still have a system which is clearly not wired up the same as yours but older than the newest ones. So my question to you is this , would you have any idea which wire to go into to put a reset switch on mine? I have no problem doing the job I’m no professional but I’m also not an idiot so I could work it out if only I knew which wires went to the heater circuit protector but I can’t work that out Any ideas bud? I’m in the UK Jerry

shut your face bones, we need to know nothing more about you , your name says it all. arf arf. you act just like the ankle biters you love so much. stop biting this guys pants leg. I went out and disconnected the right display wire. did it fix my issue .. nope. but it was worth a try. so pay attention next time yorkie lover .. giggles.....
it clearly says to connect to either 3 or 4 to a switch. it's not complicated at all. I just removed the control panel altogether and have a wireless remote for the heat, the air pump, and the filter. Works flawless. have the heat connected to it's own probe and can adjust a little higher than the 104. all-in fix was 120
you are for not understanding the problem. After unplugging from the wall the internal circuitry of the main board stays live for several hours. Electricity is stored inside capacitors and only after long time off grid the stored electricity flows away and the main board will be fully reset and free of errors.
mwarren hall the previous reply is correct. Ive even left it unplugged over night before and still hadnt gone away. This resets it right away every time.

jodyberry jeremy scooter brown is my name on facebook. Message me there and ill be glad to help you!
jbrown198522 mine is a newer model, I have the bubbles working but not the heaters, could you help me at all?
How do you get the clips out to take the first bit off
I'm having a E90 error code and I can not find a video on UA-cam on it or about it figured someone else would have had this same problem.
Anthony Durant its a filter code. Or low water flow code. If your pump cant pump water fast enough it throws that code. Try changing your filters.
99% of the time the e90 code is a bad impeller rod. take out of the pump on the bottom (be careful removing screws and such as they can get messed up) and take the pump apart. inside you'll see the impeller (white with fins) pull it out(magnetized) and inside middle is a rod and it will most likely be in piece or worn down at spots. go to home depot with the rod from the pump and buy a brass rod (they sell them in like 3 ft lengths. cut it to the same length with a metal saw or a dremel with a cut off wheel and insert the new rod. don't forget the black rubber boots on both ends and this will work for about 2-3 months depending on often you change the filters. but the pumps cost $60 the rod costs about $5 and you'll get about 10 rods out of one stick so that will last a couple of years.
