Equipment system will not operate:

1.

trips repeatedly, contact a service technician to correct the problem.

2. Check the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, if equipped, to see if the reset button has popped out. If it has, press 

reset button inward.  If the GFCI trips repeatedly, contact a service technician to correct the problem.

3. Make sure the Power Air Switch is turned “ON”
4. For cord connected units check the receptacle.
5. Make sure the high-limit has not tripped.  Push to reset.

Pump will run but there is no water flow:

1.

Make sure system is installed below water level.

2.

Check the suction fittings to make sure that they are not clogged with debris.

3.

Check the water level and make sure it is above the jets and at the proper level on the skimmer opening.

4.

Check the pump for trapped air.  With the pump running, loosen the union at the pump outlet to release any 
trapped air.  You may need to use a sponge to collect the water released during this procedure.

Pump runs and there is water flow but no heat:

1. Turn the thermostat to a higher temperature setting.  Do not expect to feel hot water coming from the jets.

2. Check to see if the high limit switch reset button, located on the front of the control box, has popped outward.  

If so, reset by pressing inward.

3. Check to make sure that all the valves are open and that there is full flow.  Limited water flow may not activate 

the pressure switch to allow the heater to come on.

The water will not maintain the desired temperature:

1. A thermal cover is required to maintain the water temperature.

2. Turn the thermostat to a higher setting.

Pressure Switch adjustment:

With pump running and thermostat calling for heat if no heat indicator is illuminated perform the following:

1. Insure flow is moving into tub from equipment and that no air bubbles are present at tub return fitting (if air 

present open pump bleed valve on face to let air escape).

2. Insert flat tip screwdriver into slot on top of pressure switch and adjust CCW until heat engages (if heat 

indicator flickers continue adjusting until it remains steady).

3. Once heat indicator remains on steadily adjust the pressure switch knob an additional ½ turn CCW.
 
4.    Disconnect pump power by unplugging it from the control box. Insure that heat indicator does not come on 

with the thermostat turned up. If indicator does illuminate immediately disconnect power, reconnect pump, and 
repeat steps 1-3 until proper operation is observed. 

Check the main circuit breaker panel.  If the circuit breaker has tripped reset the breaker.  If the circuit breaker
