Operational Checks
CAUTION:
Do not turn on any pump until your spa is properly filled with
water. Running any pump without water in your spa can cause
IMMEDIATE damage, which is not covered by the guarantee!
By now you have rechecked your spa / hot tub mechanical connections and filled it
with water to about 1” above all jets by adding cold tap water (if equipped) through the
pre-filter (if equipped). Turn on power to the spa / hot tub at the main breaker panel
and test the operation of the electrical system. If you encounter a problem, please
reference the troubleshooting guide on page
36
.
Plug in the spa (110 v) or turn on the breaker (220 v) and test the operation of the
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker by pushing the small button. This
should automatically trip the spa / hot tub circuit breaker. Only if pushing this button
successfully trips this circuit breaker should you reset this breaker and proceed to the
initial start up procedure.
DANGER:
If this breaker does not trip, immediately call your electrician.
Do not use your spa / hot tub!
1) Ensure the circuit breaker to the spa / hot tub is off.
2) Ensure that all of the gate valves are open. The gate valve is on when the handle is
in the up position. It is off when it is in the down position.
3) To prevent the possibility of leakage in the equipment bay, ensure the pump unions
are tight.
4) Close and cap the hose bib. This is used for draining the spa / hot tub.
5) Fill the spa / hot tub with water above the top of the filter cartridge and above the
level of the jets (approximately 4 inches or 10 cm).
