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.
