Operating instructions
4. Open the air bleed valve to release any air
trapped in the external plumbing. (See
equipment configuration diagrams in this
guide) There is one on the 300 and 500
series hot tubs, two on a 500 series with
HushPump™ and a standard 700 series and
three on a 700 series with HushPump™.
Once all air is bled from the system, open any
knife valves that are facing down.
5. With the air bled from the system, you can
now turn on the power at the GFCI. Once
the control panel is on, use the instructions
on the following pages to complete your start
up. Refer to the instructions for the control
panel that matches your system.

configurations, one of which you now own.

features the equipment outside of the hot tub
cavity under a safety step. See Figure 6.

tucked inside the hot tub cabinetry. A
plank style step is available for this style of

MICROFILTER REMOVAL AND MAINTENANCE
The Microfilter in the hot tub should be
cleaned approximately every two weeks or
more if bather load is high. Failure to clean the
Microfilter can result in cloudy water, odor and
potential equipment damage due to decreased
flow. To remove the Microfilter, turn off power
to the hot tub at the GFCI breaker or at the
power disconnect.
To remove, twist the trim ring to unlock it
and remove with the floating weir assembly,
then lift out the basket and then pull out the
Microfilter. See figure 8. Remove any hair or
debris from the basket. Soak the Microfilter
in a cleaner such as Filter Pure overnight and
then remove and rinse thoroughly with a hose
spray nozzle to remove cleaner residue. It is
recommended that you alternate Microfilter
cleaning each month with Filter Cure. It is also
advisable to have two Microfilters, to alternate
while the other is soaking in the cleaner.
