Operate Your Spa
Priming the Pump
Sometimes air can become trapped in the pump
while filling the spa. You will know this has happened
when after you have filled and started the spa, the
pump does not function. You will hear the pump op-
erating, but no or little water will be moving. The
pump will not work properly while air is trapped
in it. Con-tinuing to operate the pump in this
way will cause damage.
New spa owners often have difficulty the first time
they start their spa and the pump fails to prime. This
can be frustrating, but these simple instructions can
help you.
To remove small air bubbles trapped in the
pump.
1. Turn the spa on and wait for PR (Priming Mode)
to appear on the topside display.
2. Press the JETS1 button to turn on the
pump and let it run for 10 seconds. The
pump should be running on low speed.
3. Press the JETS1 buttons again and let the pump
run on high speed for 10 seconds.
4. Press the JETS1 button again to turn off the
pump. The pump should be left in the off position
for 10 to 15 seconds.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until water is flowing
through all the jets and all air is removed from the
plumbing.
To remove a large air lock within the pump:
1. Turn off power at the breaker.
2. Remove the spa panel closest to the pump.
3. Loosen the Pressure Union on top of the pump
by hand or with a strap wrench. You may hear a
hissing sound or see bubbles . Eventually you will be
left with a solid stream of water. When air is bled
out, tighten the union, turn breaker on and set the
pump on high speed.
