- Got an E90 code? Here are some reasons for it and not just the ones you've heard before. I go over the temp sensors, filters, impeller rod, and water flow sensors and some tips along the way. These steps could be used for other spas as they employ similar ways of operation but parts may not be interchangeable.
I suggest you buy these replacement parts now so you have them ready

The man. Posting only one video. After scouring the internet, this is what i needed. I replaced the pump and intex does not sell replacement sensors. I appreciate you for the links.
I am the poster of this video this is just my other account . Yeah they definitely don't want you you fixing too much of this on your own because of course then they couldn't sell the units.
I'm glad that it worked for you and I actually bought four sensors so that I have two extras. But the last set that I replaced well over 2 years ago now is still working.
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort for making this video and putting it on TH-cam for us to find the help we needed. Our Intex Pure Spa was turning off all of a sudden and we were left clueless, we had checked the filters, propeller, sensors, and everything else we could possibly check. What solved our problem was your tip of cleaning the inside of the heater tube, like you said, so much dirt had accumulated, it definitely impacted the water flow. Now it is up and running!! Thank you!
So glad it helped you!! Mine is still running strong after cleaning all that stuff and replacing the flow sensors!!
My next door friends have an Intex PureSpa hot tub, and they're experiencing this after only one month of having the hot tub. And they had it a couple of weeks after having the hot tub. I'm reading the manual and watching these TH-cam videos to help them with this. I can't get into the hot tub, because I have a tracheotomy and I'm on a ventilator, however, I do something some people would consider unconventional, as well it IS unconventional. But essentially, I place one foot in the hot tub, and one hand. It allows me to enjoy the bennifits of the hot tub, even without being able to get into the hot tub. It's very nice. But now their hot tub is displaying Error Cde E-90 and so now I will do my absolute best to help them. They've let me use their hot tub in the way that I do, so I WANT to assist them as much as I possibly can!
Wish I could be there to help --- you and your neighbors. ✌
yeah try these steps but try cleaning or replacing the filters and cleaning out the filter ports too
Your a life saver! I figured out the shaft problem 2 years ago and have been replacing with brass then when the actual impeller warped I had to purchase the impeller and stainless rod from someone on eBay in G.B last year. After setting up this year it would pump very slowly and would throw e90 code. After watching this I decided to take out the heater tube and it was almost completely plugged. Cleaned that out and it’s running great! Thanks!!!
Glad it all worked out!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I was ready to buy a whole new hot tub till I saw your video in which you removed that part with the flapper that senses water flow. I took that off and the flapper part was fine, but in the tube there was wedged some kind of rubber grommet/gasket that must have been making the flapper stick. Don’t know how it would have gotten sucked in there, but there it was. It explains why I was getting a n E-90 error even though water was flowing; must have been partially flowing around the obstruction. I pulled it out and the tub is now happily filtering as it should. You just saved me a lot of money and time trying to hunt down a new pump that wouldn’t even have fixed this issue. Thanks!!!!
Aw you are so welcome!! i just had mine give me another E90 last night but it was just the filter and the two ports being clogged with gunk... So glad it all worked out. I was at the point of a new tub myself when i found those flappers!!!
Thanks for the video.. we kept changing the filters and using a hose to blast it out... Now we have other avenues to try.
No problem!!!
Best repair Video i found so far, i did every step you did. Now i ordered the Sensor 😂. Thanks for sharing and greetings from Bavaria
Glad it helped
thank you this video is more info then the rest. we have had our hot tub 5 years now its down till i get parts thank you.
awesome!!!
Ha so i am also Troy (maker of this video, on my halloween acct) and my heater unit finally went bad enough that i went to replace it. I got a new one and got the e90. i sealed up the new heater gasket as the guy lied to me about barely using it and the gaskets were leaky. i repaired them with loctite waterproof clear sealant. after that still got the E90 and thought i'll go to my own video and go step by step. the water flow sensor near the out tube (top of tube) had no water flow flapper at all... replaced from the old unit and bam works great!!! glad this video has helped others and now even my self again!!! I'll be making a new video with updated links as the guy who sells the flappers got a new website so stay tuned!!!
This is very good information I just got my intex hot tub have to wait for the spring to use it I cant wait so thanks again have a beautiful day God bless you always
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very helpful
Troy My spa is about 2 years old, when I turn on my filters or the heater, it goes on for some seconds or even a few minutes some times and then it trips. It does not trip the GFCI there is still power in the panel but it trips as if I had shut clicked the off button in the panel, stops the filter and stops the heater, no error code just shows 888 in the panel as it does when you energize the head unit. When is on there is normal water flow and when the heater is on it is demanding about 13 amps so everything seems fine but it still trips, Any idea what I could try to solve this?
So i've never had mine do the 888.. that sounds like something in the board behind the panel (might have gotten wet, it's not a very good seal back there) or something has gotten into the base, maybe a mouse. I would tear it apart and check all the connections and for loose or damaged wires. demanding 13 amps is way too high and is likely due to a short. i would stop using it until you find the wiring issues. i don't think anything in my video will help with that, but please report back what you find
For the E90 Error code inspect the impeller and rod. Impeller and rod are sold on Ebay. Search E90 error, the rod commonly breaks and can be brass and other non magnetic materials. Best to replace rod and impeller while unit is apart
the problem was is that mine motor was brand new. it was the flow sensor flappers that was the issue
Intex pure spa the bubbles start up but after 2 - 3 minutes the cut off I've cha get the fan it does exactly the same. Thanks Ray
I'm try this all o e more time. Thank you.
Also. When I'm done ,will intex send me an engineering degree or offer me a job
you would hope right!!
Best video I’ve seen on this! So I ordered two flow sensors to start with since both of mine are cracked. I was going to ask, those 2 temp sensors you link fit? It looks like the ends of them are bigger than the ones on mine. Thanks for the help :)
they fit sorta. i used waterweld from jbweld to ensure it's sealed. i think i've seen the actual temp sensors online now maybe ebay. as long as the metal probe fits into the hole, the screw parts can just be sealed
Hi, I know this is a bit old, but I took my hot tub out of storage, set it up and got the e90 error. Did everything on this video and can't find the problem (all parts look fine and I cleaned the heating tube). E90 still persisting. Thing is, it doesn't make a sound when I turn it on, just displays the E90 within seconds of turning on heat or filter. Any suggestions?
Ok so does the pump turn on? Can you hear that at least? Turn on just the filter and if the pump isn't working that's your first problem. You can buy those from Intex still.
Start it up with the cover removed so you can see if there are leaks. A leak can cause it too. Mine just did it too and I ran the filter for a second and then hit the heating button super fast and it stayed going. A blocked filter tube from the tub to base can cause it. 90 means no water flow or restricted. Also the out flow white round screen in the tub can clog up and cause it too. The crap in the heater goes into that screen and mine has said e90 on that too. I'm updating the video this weekend too
I don't see the link to the sensor do you still offer these, I replaced my pump and still getting this error code
let me find a new link

Do you know the diameter of the impeller shaft? I have read where it is 1/8th inch but, it doesn't look that thick. Why not use a TIG welding electrode? Just cut it to the proper length. It's made of tungsten so, it's non-magnetic and really tough. Brass is too soft, in my opinion.
They come in 8 sizes:
.020" (0.5mm)
.040" (1mm)
1/16" (1.6mm)
3/32" (2.4mm)
1/8" (3.2mm)
5/32" (4mm)
3/16" (4.8mm)
1/4" (6.4mm)
1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" are the most common sizes used. Most come in 7" lengths. All welding supply stores carry them and I've seen them in Lowe's.
Just thinking about a long-term solution to a common problem.
yeah that would work, just not anything that would flake off and go into the water and cause a reaction to the chemicals
I ordered the probes from thermomart back in February did not receive them just had to apply for a refund from PayPal but the phone number on the website to thermometer is not a working number
That's sad.... I ordered a set for mine last year and they arrived on time and such. Maybe it was a mess up on their end but if the number doesn't work that's worse. I'll update the listing (this is my Halloween channel acct but I'm the creator of this video too)
@Troy Criv, my Intex Spa allways seems to suck air in and that is why I get an error E90. Any idea how to prevent this or how the air gets in? It seems to get worse after using bubbles.
that doesn't happen to me... odd
I tried to go to the links for water sensors and it says no longer available. Any suggestions
looking for a new link

Mine is doing this out the box, so this makes no sense to me lol
So if it's doing this out of the box, you need to return it or call intex and have them send you out a new control base, but DO NOT throw this one away. Keep it. The spare parts alone will save you tons of time and money. It still is one of the issues i talk about in this video though, flow sensor, clogged filter, heat sensor, or the metal rod in the impeller motor. But if you just got this tub, get them to replace it.
I get an e90 error code. Replaced impeller but still had e90 code. Took a part again and tested. Put the intake of the pump in a pile of water and started. The new pump ran but did not pump water through the return. Anyone have a reason why it wouldn't pump with a new impeller and shaft?
So it could be the flow sensors that are mentioned in the video. Or the heater is very clogged. These heaters have a coating that flakes and such over time and can clog up the system.
Yes thank you. I should have watched the complete video before posting.@@ScareHollow
So I have messaged you a couple of times sorry to keep asking questions I have replaced my sensors and I replaced the filter pump still I have no power to the filter pump I've taken stuff apart I've clean stuff up replaced all the sensors still no power to the pump is there a used pump somewhere I can get a used base unit or am I just looking at buying a new one or a whole new tub
sorry i made this on a different account than i'm usually on. You can buy the pump from Intex or on ebay. Most of the pumps on the intex site are the same but ensure the tubes line up. Select different options / years on their parts website and maybe just try a new pump. Do you mean the motor doesn't even turn on when you hit the filter or heat button on the display?? My filter button is shot but if you press the heater button it will force the pump / filter to work too
@@troycriv1524 so I work at a Walmart in St George area $300 for a brand new hot tub it's pretty nice I'm happy with it too bad that my hot tub's brand new just minus the pump so I'll probably get a new pump and have two hot tubs
Thank you though I appreciate your time
So I had the E90 error code took the pump out cleaned it up put it back still didn't work so I bought a brand new pump from Intex 63 bucks put the brand new pump in I clean both of the sensors in the top of the housing area turned on the pump and it still does not come on and I still get the E90 error code what else can I do so I can use it and use the heater to heat it up
cleaning them may not do the trick. i had to replace them as the insides of the housing can get bad or moldy and then not connect. they are magnets and once it connects it says the water is flowing. so if the magnet inside has gunk it won't connect. mine looked amazingly clean yet didn't work. once i replaced the sensors it works.
so buy two sensors and let me know
@@troycriv1524 heat sensors or flow sensors. And what's the best website to buy them. Flow sensors I found 100 dollars for two with shipping that's to much
@@ricksnow1613 does the link in the description not work anymore?? They were super cheap from that guy on eBay....
@@ScareHollow so I am not super tech savvy I don't even know where to go to the links in this I watch a lot of TH-cam but I'm not for sure I know how to do the links sorry
My hot tub will beep. The lights all light up and the unit shuts down with no error code. Does anyone know how to fix this?!
That seems like an electrical issue with the actual power supply inside the base. I would check all the connections, make sure everything is tight and dry. Usually that type of issue is purely electrical and maybe a short or exposed wire is there.
So I completely replaced my filter pump but a brand new pump on I clean both of the sensors and I still get the E90 and the pump does not turn on with a brand new pump
There is the other sensors lower down that are flow sensors like i talk about in the video
How the heck do I disconnect/remove white wires from heater
you don't you take off the cap with all the screws and the wires come off that. in my video you'll see the black wire going into the mound of white stuff, that is the temp sensor that goes to the heater. otherwise you just disconnect the electrical wire at the back panel that go to the heater. you unscrew it and the wire should slide off that panel.
Check that a mouse hasn't nested in the housing and chewed through a wire. If I had, it would have saved me about 4 hours of video watching & dismantling.🙄
ah dang but hey that advice might have helped the comment above yours about the 888 and 13 amp issue, he may have chewed wires touching
Yes it should never be painted it ruined mine and i took it apart and scraped it out. But i broke temper guage burnt a hole in the side if the heater.
I just purchased a new one and i was going to clear out heater before using it. However im having error codes after 2 months using it and am about to take it apart. I did but a 3 yr extended warranty. Only bought new because 1 mine was disc. 2. Rodent got in basement through broken window and chewed hole in hot tub itself. Could not seal it up and the thing leaked at the fill up spot. Washer was cracked i could not seal that part. 3. Im going to fis my other base and use it as a heater for my pool. I have 2 bades because they sent me new one when the plug went out. So i have plenty of parts. The heater that burnt hole in it is gaulded and i have to drill out screws to get it off the base.
I just updated the links in the video description but here is the link to the flow sensors
