It is a coleman 8-10 person spa. It got left on set at 104 on a very cold night with the cover off.

Replacement 5 watts Heaters are $19.95 plus shipping on eBay. They are pretty standard. If you have water shut off or slid valves to keep the water from coming out of tub...it's very easy to change out heating element. Turn off power at breaker box....turn off or close slid valves....unscrew the ends of water hose off the control box...open front of control box...locate and unscrew the two nuts that hold wires to heating element...then loosen and remove screws that hold in the element. Slide the old out...the new in...tighten all the screws back down....re-connect water hoses...open valves....turn power back on and reset temp control.

Now after you have read all that...check the red button on control unit that trips when temp gets too high. It shuts down the heater. Push it back in and see if heater works.

how would I go about covering the ground where a broken spa is?

my in ground hot tub is broken and it will be too much to replace the tub and the heater and the propaine tank. We are going to buy an above ground hot tub to replace this, i was wondering if there is anyway to cover this area and place the new hot tub on top this WITHOUT filling it in with concrete?
thanks!

Answer
I would build a deck like structure around and over the top of the broken spa.
Add a couple steps and enclose the sides..
