New spa owners often have difficulty the first time they start their spa and the pump fails to prime. This can be
frustrating, but these simple instructions can help you.
Sometimes air can become trapped in the pump while filling the spa. You will know this has happened when
after you have filled and started the spa, the pump does not seem to function. You will hear the pump operating,
but no water will be moving.
There are two methods of priming the pump.
The pump will not work
properly while air is trapped in it.
Continuing to operate the pump
in this way will cause damage.
Whenever you fill your spa, fill it through
the filter canister and make sure all jets
are open.
Note: If you press the Temp button
any time during Priming Mode, it will exit
that mode and begin Standard Mode.
The second method will remove a large air lock
within the pump.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the front
panel from the spa and locate the pump.
2. While the spa is operating, turn the bleeder valve
counter clockwise with a small pair of pliers or
a flat head screwdriver until the air has been
released from the pump.
3. If this is unsuccessful, loosen the white union nut
on side of the pump with channel locks. When air
is bled out, tighten the nut and set the pump on
high speed.
The first method will remove small air bubbles
trapped in the pump.
1. Turn the spa on and wait for PR (Priming Mode) to
appear on the topside display.
2. Press the JETS 1 button to turn on the pump and
let it run for 10 seconds. The pump should be
running in low speed.
3. Press the JETS 1 buttons again and let the pump
run in high speed for 10 seconds.
4. Press the JETS 1 button again to turn off the
pump. The pump should be left in the off position
for 10 to 15 seconds.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until water is flowing
through all the jets and all air is removed from the
plumbing.
