SOLUTIONS

Upon filling or refilling the spa, if a pump is operating and water is not flowing from any of its jets,
the pump may not be properly primed.  To correct, refer to the “Equipment Compartment” illustra-
tion on page 13 and perform the following procedures:

• Turn off power to the spa at the breaker and remove the equipment compartment door.

• Loosen the union on the top of the pump to allow the air to escape.  When water is present, 

hand-tighten the union.

• Turn power back on, activate the pump and check to make sure union is tight enough to keep it

from leaking.
