PREPARATION AND FILLING
Fill the spa 5-6” (13-15cm) below the lip of the spa. Open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to
escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process.
PRIMING MODE
This mode will last 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit the priming mode after the pump(s) have primed. Regardless of whether the priming mode
ends automatically or you manually exit the priming mode, the system will automatically return to normal heating and filtering at the end of the
priming mode. During the priming mode, the heater is disabled to allow the priming process to be completed without the possibility of energizing the
heater under low-flow/no-flow conditions. Nothing comes on automatically, but the pump(s) can be energized by pushing the “Jet” buttons. If the spa
has a Circ Pump, it can be activated by pressing the “Light” button during Priming Mode.
PRIMING THE PUMPS
After the display has gone through screens:
push “Jet” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and again to switch to high-speed. Push the Pump 2 button (if you have a 2nd pump) to turn it on.
The pumps will not 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, turn off the pumps and repeat.
NOTE: Turning the power off/on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Sometimes turning the pump off/on helps it to prime. If the pumps will
not prime after 5 times, turn power off 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.
EXITING PRIMING MODE
Manually exit Priming Mode by pressing either Temperature button. If you do not manually exit the priming mode, it will be automatically terminated
after 4-5 minutes. Be sure that the pump(s) have been primed by this time.
