Priming the Pumps
Exiting Priming Mode
As soon as the Priming Mode screeen appears on the panel,
select the “Jets 1” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed
and then again to switch to high-speed. Also, select the other
pumps, to turn them on. The pumps should be running in high-
speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps have not primed after
2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in the spa,
do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the pumps
and repeat the process. Note: Turning the power off and back
on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Sometimes
momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime.
Do not do this more than 5 times. If the pump(s) will not prime,
shut off the power to the spa and call for service.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump
be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5 minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and
cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition.
The system will automatically enter the normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode, which lasts 4-5 minutes.
You can manually exit Priming Mode by pressing the “Back” button on the
Priming Mode Screen. Note that if you do not manually exit the priming
mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically terminated
after 4-5 minutes. Be sure that the pump(s) have been primed by this time.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will display the Main Screen, but the display will not show the water
temperature yet, as shown below. This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowing through the heat-
er to determine the water temperature and display it.
