FILL IT UP!

PREPARATION AND FILLING
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets
in the plumbing system before lling to allow as much air as possible to es-
cape from the plumbing and the control system during the lling process.
After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel will
display a splash screen or startup screen.
PRIMING MODE
After the initial 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 possibility of energizing the
heater under low-ow or no-ow conditions. Nothing comes on automati-
cally, but the pump(s) can be energized by selecting the “Jet” buttons. If
the spa has a Circ Pump, it can be turned on and off by pressing the “Circ”
button during Priming Mode.
PRIMING THE PUMPS
As soon as the Priming Mode screeen appears on the panel, select the
“Jets 1” button 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 after 2 minutes, and water is not owing from
the jets in the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the
pumps and repeat the process.
NOTE: TURNING THE POWER OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WILL INITI-
ATE A NEW PUMP PRIMING SESSION. SOMETIMES MOMENTARILY
TURNING THE PUMP OFF AND ON WILL HELP IT TO PRIME. DO NOT
DO THIS MORE THAN 5 TIMES. IF THE PUMP(S) WILL NOT PRIME,
SHUT OFF THE POWER TO THE 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 system to energize the
heater and go into an overheat condition.
