I have a much older NEMCO spa, but the system may be similar. *With

Why not set to where you are comfortable or 5 up- Hide quoted text -

I think it depends on which way it's off. If it reads 105, but it's
actually 100, then that could be a problem. Spas are typically set to
go no higher than somewhere around 105. If you want to get that last
5 deg out of it, you wouldn't be able to. I like mine somewhere
around 104.

If it's off the other way, or he can live with whatever the incorrect
max turns out to be, then I agree, probably easiest thing to do is
live with it.
