PORTABLE CONTROL UNIT MESSAGES

CHECK 1 - Water Level

Ensure water level meets fill lines on both interior

sides of the spa. Check if this resolves the PCU’s 

malfunctioning.   

   

CHECK 2 - Inside Connection Caps

Make sure the plastic Inlet/Outlet caps have been 

removed before turning on the PCU.

    

  

CHECK 3 - Bleed Air out of Portable 

Control Unit

If PCU makes a grinding noise, no water is going to the 

pump. Turn the PCU off. Bleed the air out of the pump by                    

unscrewing the Air Valve until a small amount of water is 

released then re-tighten it. Check if this resolves the noise.  

CHECK 4 - Check Spa for Obstructions

Check that inlet/outlet ports inside the tub are clean 

and remove any obstructions detected. Check if this 

resolves the PCU’s malfunctioning.   

CHECK 5 - Ensure Filter is Clean 

Check the filter. If the filter is dirty or scaled, wash and/or 

replace it. Check if this resolves the PCU’s 

malfunctioning.      

CHECK 6 - Ensure Connectors are Not 

Kinked

Check the connection hoses. Make sure that they are not 

kinked or bent and that both the spa and the PCU are 

set on the same level surface. If you still cannot solve this 

problem, please contact us for service.

Part 10 

SPA OPERATION CHECK LIST

CHECK 7 - Back Flush PCU

Back flushing the PCU is a good practice to carry out every few 

months to aid in PCU performance and longevity. Simply remove 

the PCU from the tub connections (cap ports inside tub first if 

you do not want to drain spa) remove the filter and run water 

from a garden hose into the ‘Heater Port’. Flush for 30 seconds 

and hold PCU upside down to drain remaining water.
