CHECKLIST BEFORE FILLING
YOUR SPA
Important: The equipment should never be operated
without water in the spa. Serious damage to the pump
and/or heater may occur.
 1. Installing Your Cover: Your spa cover comes
with tie-down straps and locking hardware to attach
the cover to the spa or decking. If your Dealer did not
install your cover, then refer to Cover Installation
Instructions that come in the cover cardboard
packaging.
 2. Check Drain-Cap: At the end of the drain hose
(located in the Equipment Compartment) is the Drain-
Cap (Fig. F) Make sure it is securely fastened to the
end of the drain hose.
 3. Tighten Equipment Fittings: In the equipment
compartment, hand-tighten all PVC Pipe Unions and
Pump Drain Plugs (Fig. G) to prevent the possibility of
leakage (sometimes these fittings loosen during
shipment).
 4. Check Valve Keepers: Verify that a Valve
Keeper (Fig. H) is installed on each slice valve. Valve
keepers prevent the valve from vibrating shut during
shipment or operation. A slice valve that closes will
result in a noisy pump due to a lack of water flow to
the pump.
 5. Fill the Spa: Fill the spa to approximately the
Water Level mark (Fig. I) on the back wall of the filter/
skimmer cavity (See Note 1).
Note 1: The higher the water level, the less spa users
it will take to cause the water to overflow the top of
the spa.
Note 2: Do not fill the spa with soft water unless the
mineral content is raised immediately (see your
Dealer).
 5. Check for Leaks: After the spa is full, but
before turning the power on, check all the fittings and
equipment in the equipment compartment for signs of
leakage. If a leak is detected, except from fittings that
can be hand-tightened, call your authorized Bullfrog
Spa Dealer.
