The provided information indicates that the "CHG/FIL" message on a Wave Spa is a reminder to clean or change the hot tub filter, rather than necessarily requiring a reset.
However, assuming that the message persists even after cleaning or replacing the filter, there's likely a procedure to clear the message. The exact steps can vary based on the Wave Spa model. Since the document only mentions the reminder to change the filter and doesn't specifically describe how to reset the change filter indicator, I recommend the following general troubleshooting steps and further resources.
Troubleshooting and General Steps
-
Clean or Replace the Filter: As the video suggests, the first step is always to ensure your filter is clean or, ideally, replaced. A dirty filter is the most common cause of the error message.
-
Power Cycle the Spa: Turn off the power to the spa completely for a few minutes. This can sometimes reset the system and clear the error.
-
Consult Your Wave Spa Manual: This is the most important step. Your spa's manual will contain the specific instructions for resetting the filter change indicator. Look for sections on maintenance, troubleshooting, or error messages.
-
Contact Wave Spa Support: If you can't find the reset procedure in your manual, contact Wave Spa customer support directly. They can provide model-specific instructions.
Why is Resetting Important?
The filter indicator light is there to remind you to perform essential maintenance. Resetting it after cleaning or replacing the filter ensures that the spa's system accurately tracks when the next filter maintenance is due.
