Insect and Rodent MayhemUpdated a year ago

Insects such as ants and cockroaches can cause severe damage to your control unit. Slugs and rodents also seem particularly fond of the heat coming from your control box, especially during the winter months. If you notice any of these near your spa pool, set out baits or traps accordingly as unfortunately these creatures most often end up inside the main power board housing once inside the unit. As you can imagine, hundreds of ants, a few cockroaches or one decent sized slug or small mouse touching a live terminal ends poorly for the offending pest(s)-- and generally shorts out your main power board. Mice can also chew through main water lines between the pump and heater or through the internal bubbler line, causing leaks or making bubblers ineffective. In addition to taking your spa offline, any repairs required due to pests is not covered under warranty and can be expensive repairs to get you up and running again.
