Inspect all plumbing connections in the
equipment area of your spa.
• Make sure unions in the equipment pack are tight. (Be
careful not to over-tighten the plumbing fittings.)
• If your spa has gate
valves, make sure
they are all in the UP
or OPEN position.
• Make sure the drain
valve is closed and
capped. (See page
53 for a description of
drain valves.)
Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa
Never run the spa with the gate valves closed or
without water circulating for long periods of time.
1 . Inspect the spa equipment .
2 . Remove the cartridge from filter canister.
After you remove the filter, remove the plastic
wrapper and soak it in water for 30 minutes
before you replace it. A dry filter can allow air
into the filtration system which can cause the
pump to fail to prime.
If you have a skimmer like this:
Grip the filter by the handle and unscrew it from
the canister. Never try to pull the filter cartridge
while the spa is running in low or high speed (i.e.,
any speed).
If you have a skimmer like this:
Remove the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip
the filter by the handle and unscrew it from the
canister.
If you have a skimmer like this:
Rotate and remove the black locking ring. Remove
the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip the filter
by the handle and unscrew it from the canister.
Replace and lock the locking ring and slide the
skimmer cap and barrel back in the canister.
Note: The skimmer cap and barrel were locked
in place at the factory to prevent damage during
shipment. It must be unlocked and replaced in
the filter canister so that it can float when the spa
is filled. If you do not remove the cap and barrel,
your spa’s filtration system will not perform as it was
designed to.
