Description
This is a replacement magnetic Water flow sensor paddle for the water flow sensors used in the Bestway, Coleman and Lay-Z-Spa brands of inflatable hot tubs. If your pump/heater unit is displaying an E02 error and you find that your magnet is rusty due to the plastic cracking or other things like the one to the left, you should replace it with a new one as it could be one cause of your E02 error. The fully assembled flow sensors are selling for between $50 and $75. Why spend all that money when you can repair this yourself. The part you are buying is a 3D printed version made from ABS plastic with the magnet completely sealed to prevent it from being exposed to the water and rusting yet again. Other 3D printed versions like the one to the right seen on Ebay and other sites have the magnet exposed which will cause quick failure of the part due to the exposure of the magnet to water. Be weary of these and do not buy them. Due to popular demand I am now including the nylon retaining pin with the paddle as a kit. We understand that these pins commonly break and we want you to have ALL the parts necessay to fix your water flow sensor right. If you find that your o-ring seal is also worn you may want to look at our other kit which includes the o-ring seal with the Water flow sensor paddle and pin by clicking here.
NOTE: Please check and make sure that this is the part that you need prior to ordering. There are many causes of the E02 error and this is only one of them. It may be worth it to check out my article “Fixing the dreaded E02 error on your Bestway, Coleman or Lay-Z-Spa tub” prior to purchasing this part. I also have a second article that I wrote called “Repairing yourBestway, Coleman or Lay-Z-Spa water flow sensor.” This article goes more in depth on how to fully test your water flow sensor using a multimeter prior to purchasing.

Hot tub broke 4 days before an upcoming party. Dan sent the part from Wisconsin within an hour after I ordered it, and it arrived at my house in California in time for me to install it and have the hot tub heated and ready to go by party time!

THANK YOU! Standard shipping got it here in 2 days, and my EO2 Error is fixed now.
After clearing the filter and the impeller, this was my last resort. I’m so glad I found this website, on a Reddit thread of all places! I will be advocating for this if I see anyone else have the same issues.
