Filling Your Hot Tub
Now it's time to fill your hot tub with water. Do not turn on
the electricity yet until the hot tub is completely filled. To
properly fill your hot tub :
1. Make sure that the filters (in the filtration canister) are
gently screwed into place. Turn them clockwise until
they stop being careful not to over-tighten them (this
avoids cracking the filter).
2. Connect a standard garden hose to a faucet with
regular cold tap water (not softened water or hot water).
Figure 18 – Filtration Canister
Caution: The water from your hot water tank should not be used to fill the hot
tub.
3. Put the pre-filter (if equipped
§
) on the other end of the hose, point the pre-
filter into a suitable drain, turn on the water, and allow any sediment to be
flushed down the drain. Once the water stream runs clear, turn off the hose.
4. Put the pre-filter (if equipped) into the filtration canister and turn on the hose.
5. Fill slowly . If too much water pressure is used, foaming water can force air
into the pipes and cause startup problems.
Important: To assure that the pump is properly primed, fill the hot tub
through the filter area only .
6. Fill the hot tub until the water level is about 1” above all jets (or about ½”
below the pillow). Do not over fill.
Note : Every person entering a hot tub displaces a given volume of water, so
adjust water level to the number of people regularly using the hot tub.
Turn off the hose and check again for any small leaks.
Operational Checks
Caution: Do not turn on any pump until your hot tub is properly filled with
water. Running any pump without water in your hot tub can cause
IMMEDIATE damage, which is not covered under warranty!
By now you have rechecked your hot tub’s mechanical connections and filled it
with water to about 1” above all jets by adding cold tap water through the pre-
filter (if equipped). Turn on power to the hot tub at the main breaker panel and
test the operation of the electrical system. If you encounter a problem, please
reference the troubleshooting guide on page 31.
