Filling Your Spa

  

 

Confirm that the drain valve is closed. Unthread and remove the filter. Place garden hose in the 
void where the filter was, this will help to eliminate air locks. With the electrical breaker in the 
OFF position and/or the power cord un-plugged, fill to an approximate water level that will not 
allow water to over flow the spa when bathers are in the hot tub. Every bather’s density is different 
and therefore water level may vary (remember to make sure that the filter is covered). Once the spa 
is filled, power can then be supplied to your spa.  
 
NOTE: Please ensure that the water level does not cover or submerge any equipment for an 
extended period of time when people enter the spa due to water displacement.  If this happens, 
please lower the water level to prevent this as it could cause damage to the spa components that 
would not be covered under warranty. 
 

 

Relieving  Air Locks

 

 

Occasionally, on a fresh fill or refill, an air lock may occur. This is caused by the build up of air in 
the plumbing lines which will not allow water or air to flow through the jets. If left un-attended, the 
pump can overheat from lack of water flow. This type of damage is not covered under the 
warranty. The easiest way to remedy this situation is to repeatedly cycle between low- and high-
speed on the topside controls. If this does not fix the issue you will have to open the access panel 
that houses the pump. Once the panel is removed, locate the pump and you will see two large, 
white nuts attached to the pump. One is horizontal to the pump and the other is vertical. Take a 
large pair of channel locks and loosen the horizontal nut with the pump in high-speed. Continue to 
loosen the nut until the jets begin to work. Doing this will cause water to come out the nut you are 
loosening which is normal. Once the jets are functioning properly, tighten the nut back up and put 
the panel back on. 
 

 

Adjusting Massage Jets

 

 

To adjust for direction, rotate the "eyeball" of the jet in the desired direction. To adjust for flow, 
turn the outer jet face counter clockwise to increase flow and clockwise to decrease flow.  At no 
time fully decrease flow to all of the jets. This may cause your pump to malfunction and suffer 
catastrophic failure which will not be covered under the warranty. 
 

 

Air Adjustment

 

 

To introduce air into the jets, turn the air controls (located on the spa's top edge) counter 
clockwise.  To decrease air flow, turn the air controls clockwise. 
 

 

Suction Fitting 

 

Keep the suction fitting (located in the foot well area) of the spa unobstructed and free from debris 
at all times. Only remove the suction-fitting screen for cleaning. Never remove it while the spa is 
connected to electrical power.
