Prepara on & Filling
Fill the swim spa to its correct opera ng level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the
plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing
and the control system during the filling process.
A er turning the power on at the main power panel, the top side panel will display a splash
screen or start-up screen.
Priming Mode
A er the ini al start
-up sequence, the control will enter Priming Mode and display a Priming
Mode screen. Only pump icons appear on the priming mode screen. During the priming
mode, the heater is disabled to allow the priming process to be completed without the possi-
bility of energizing the heater under low-
flow or no
-
flow condi ons. Nothing comes on auto-
ma cally, but the pump(s) can be energized by selec ng the “Jet” bu ons. If the swim spa has
a Circ Pump, it can be turned on and off by pressing the Circ” bu on during Priming Mode.
Priming the Pumps
As soon as the Priming Mode screen appears on
the panel, select the “Jets 1’ bu on once to start
Pump 1 in low-speed and then again to switch to
high-speed. Also, select the other pumps, to turn
them on. The pumps should be running in high
speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps have
not primed a er 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in the swim spa, do not al-
low the pumps to con nue to run. Turn off the pumps and repeat the process. Note: Turning
the power off and back on again will ini ate a new pump priming session. Some mes mo-
mentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than 5 mes.
If the pump(s) will not prime, shut off the power to the swim spa and call for service.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than 2 minutes.
Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end
of the 4-5 minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the sys-
tem to energize the heater and go into an overheat condi on.
