X SERIES SPA CONTROL PANELS
Preparation and Filling
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves
and jets in the spa before lling to allow as much air as possible
to escape from the system during the lling process. For details
see “Filling your spa” section. After turning the power on at the
main power panel, the control panel display will go through
an initializing sequence. is sequence displays information
regarding the conguration of the hot tub control. After a few
seconds, your control will display the Home/Status screen which
shows time, jet and light status, temperature status, operation
mode, etc.
Power
Press any button to turn the keypad on. After 30 minutes without
activity it will shut o.
Priming the Pumps
After initial start up, verify that the home status screen appears on
the panel. Pumps must be primed directly after lling to ensure
correct operation of your spa. To prime the pumps press the
“Jets 1” button once to prime in low-speed. After the pump
turns on wait a few seconds and then press
“Jets 1” again to
initiate high-speed operation of Pump 1 (if spa is equipped with
optional circulation pump you will only press once to turn on
high speed). e pump has primed when the jets are running with
water owing from the jets. Press the
“Jets 1” button again to
turn o Pump 1. If your spa is equipped with a second jet pump
repeat the priming process for Pump 2 by pressing the
“Jets
2” button once to turn on low speed and then a second time to
turn Pump 2 on high. Each pump should run for 4-5 minutes
at their highest speed to complete priming. Prime each pump
separately and turn o before priming the next pump.
IMPORTANT: A pump should not be allowed to run
without priming (no water owing out of the jets) 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 suggested
priming time. Doing so may cause damage to the pump(s) and
cause the system to energize the heater without water ow,
potentially resulting in an overheat condition.
NOTE: Sometimes momentarily turning the pump o and
on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than 5 times. If the
pump(s) will not prime, shut o the power to the spa and call for
service.
