Hydro-Quip heater replacement
Hydro-Quip makes one of the widest universal heater ranges in the industry — elements, complete assemblies and the HeatMax heater-in-a-box. We replace the element or the assembly, Incoloy or Titanium, same-day.

The universal heater catalog
Hydro-Quip builds an unusually broad range of spa heaters and controls, which makes the brand a go-to for both original equipment and universal replacements. Their lineup covers stand-alone flow-through heater assemblies, a deep catalog of replacement elements in every common kW and length, and the HeatMax 'heater-in-a-box' — a self-contained heater module that retrofits into tubs whose original heater is obsolete.
The mechanics are standard flow-through: an element inside the tube, with temperature and high-limit sensors on it feeding the board. Hydro-Quip heaters fail the usual ways — an element that burns open (no heat), one that grounds out (trips the GFCI), or a sensor/flow fault that prevents firing.
Hydro-Quip's universal sizing is the advantage: because they make a fitting heater for almost any tub, we can stock the common elements and assemblies — and the HeatMax for orphaned systems — and finish most Hydro-Quip jobs the same day across Palm Beach County.
The faults we see most
Open element — no heat
The element burns open and stops heating, often with no error code at all.
Grounded element — trips breaker
A cracked element leaks to ground and trips the GFCI the moment the heater fires.
Sensor / high-limit faults
HL or OH codes from a drifting sensor or a high-limit tripping on low flow.
Obsolete original heater
When the factory heater is discontinued, a HeatMax box is the universal retrofit.
Which element belongs in your Hydro-Quip?
Hydro-Quip offers both Incoloy and Titanium elements across its range. Incoloy is fine for conventionally sanitized fresh water — but in Florida, where saltwater spas and aggressive chemistry are everywhere, Incoloy corrodes and fails early.
If you run salt or your last element didn't last, we'll fit a Titanium element. It costs a little more upfront and pays for itself in lifespan. We show both prices and let you choose.
Element or complete assembly
We replace just the element when the tube is sound, or the complete heater when it isn't. Confirmed at your $69 diagnostic, credited to the repair.
What's your heater doing?
Answers before you call
Both. If the tube and housing are sound, we replace just the element from $189. If the tube is corroded or scaled through, a complete assembly is the lasting fix at $389 (Incoloy) or $469 (Titanium).
Yes. Hydro-Quip's HeatMax heater-in-a-box is a self-contained module designed to retrofit tubs whose factory heater is obsolete, so we can restore heat even when the original part is gone.
Titanium for saltwater spas or anywhere chemistry runs hot — it lasts far longer in Florida water. Incoloy is fine for standard fresh-water sanitizing. Hydro-Quip makes both and we carry them.
Usually yes. Their universal sizing means we stock the common elements and assemblies and finish most jobs the same day across Palm Beach County.
We stock it — and we'll fix it today.
Flat-rate from $189 (element) or $389 (assembly). $69 diagnostic credited.
