Carolina Spas™

OWNER'S MANUAL

Start-up Procedures - SE MODELS 

1 .  For a successful start-up, remove both filter cartridges, and fill the spa with water through 

the openings in the filter compartment .
a .  Locate the filter compartment area .
b .  Pull up and remove filter cover .
c .  Remove each filter cartridge and screen adapter by turning counter clockwise .
d .  After removing the filter cartridges and screen adapters, place a garden hose through 

one of the filter openings .

e .   Turn water on and run water until it reaches a minimum level of 2” above the top of 

the filters .

   

Note:

 

Besides filling the spa to 2” above the top of the filter, all models will need to 

be filled to 2” above the highest jet(s) in the spa . This is the minimum level allowed to 
run the spa's circulation system, and/or jet pump(s) .

2 .   Check all plumbing (clamps, unions and drain valve) connections for leaks .
3 .  Re-install filter cartridges and screen adapters by turning them clockwise . Exit garden hose 

from the spa .

4 .   At this point turn power on to the spa control system by turning on the GFCI breaker . A 

startup sequence of numbers will appear on the display . If no button is pressed, LINK will 
appear after the startup sequence . Press any button to link the panel with the system . The spa 
will go into Priming Mode . During the Priming Mode the heater will be disabled . Priming 
Mode will end automatically in 4 minutes . (Pressing a TEMP button will exit Priming Mode 
manually) . When the Priming Mode ends Pump 1 low speed will start, however the water 
temperature will not appear for a minute or so . Press the Jets Button(s) to turn the pumps 
on and off to verify that all air is purged from the plumbing, particularly the plumbing 
associated with the heater . (Pump 1 low speed) .  If the pump(s) have been primed continue 
to next step . If the pump(s) have not primed after 2 minutes, and the water is not flowing 
from the jets in the spa it may be necessary to manually prime the pump(s) by taking the 
following steps: First turn the power off at the GFCI breaker . Next loosen, but do not 
remove, the union nut on the top most areas of the the pump(s) . Once all the air has escaped 
tighten the union nuts back down . After the pump(s) have been vented, turn on the spa 
control system by turning on the GFCI breaker . The spa will now go back into Priming 
Mode . 

5 .   After you verify the pumps are primed, turn them off by pressing the Jet(s) button(s) . The 

Priming Mode ends after 4 minutes, or Press TEMP to exit manually . The current factory 
default set temperature will display flashing 80˚F (26˚C) (The set temperature and actual 
water temperature are often different) . While the numbers are flashing, Press TEMP again 
to change the Set Temperature . Press and hold for faster adjustment . After the new Set 
Temperature stops flashing, in about 10 seconds, the actual water temperature is displayed 
again and the new set temperature is programmed . The spa will now heat to the new set 
temperature as needed . 

6 .  Re-install filter cover and allow spa to heat to desired set temperature; this normally takes 24 

hours . 110 Volt models may take up to 48 hours to reach desired set temperature .

7 .  Water must be balanced and shocked upon start-up . See your dealer or pages 32-34 of this 

manual for details . This procedure must be repeated each time the spa is drained and refilled .

It is recommended to press and release the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) 
RESET button monthly to verify GFCI is working properly .

 

Note:

 

When there is a heat demand, a cool down period (30 seconds after heater turns  

off), or when the pump is running because of a filter cycle, the controller will turn the 
pump on low speed .
