Pump Priming Instructions: Turn Hot Tub Off!
Remove filter and insert end of garden hose into left-side filter fitting. Seal-
off fitting opening around hose using a large, clean rag and hold in place.
Ask a helper to turn on maximum water flow through the garden hose.
After about 30 seconds, turn off water. Repeat process for right-side filter
fitting, then remove hose and rag. Reinstall filter as illustrated in section
11.1 (page 32-33) and activate pump 1 in high speed. Another method of
priming the hot tub’s pump(s) is as follows:
1. Turn off the power to the hot tub.
2. Remove the handle from the massage selector supplied by the pump you
are priming.
3. Loosen the massage selector’s cap slightly (counterclockwise), listening for
the air to seep out.
4. Tighten the cap finger-tight, replace the handle and turn the hot tub’s
power back on.
Note: This method must be used for pump #2 and pump #3 because these
pumps are not connected to the filter.
IMPORTANT:
If freezing conditions exist and pump is not operational, take
measures to protect the system from freeze damage. See section titled
“Winterizing”, page 36.
POOR JET ACTION
1.
Make certain the pump is on high speed.
(see Figure-F, page 16)
2. Check position of massage selectors
3. Open air control for selected jet system.
4. Check for adequate water level.
5. Check for dirty filter (page 32-33).
6. Check for dirty filters on all six pump #2 and
pump #3 footwell suction filters (page 16).
WATER IS TOO HOT
1.
Reduce thermostat setting (page 14).
2.
Reduce skimming/heating cycle length. Even
with heater off, water temperature can increase
from prolonged pump operation (page 29).
