FILLING, CHECKING AND STARTING YOUR HOT TUB
FILLING
· When adding water for the first me, the hot tub
should be filled through the skimmer opening (helps
to prevent air locks) using a standard garden hose,
turning the tap on slowly to prevent damage to the
surface by a jerking hose connecon.
· Ensure the handles on the intake and return gate
valves are pulled up and stem locks are in place.
· Ensure the drain hose-bib is closed.
· Ensure that all jets are open.
· Fill the hot tub to the recommended level,
approximately 4 inches above the top of the
skimmer opening.
CHECKING
· Although your hot tub was thoroughly water-tested
in the factory, some loosening of fings can occur
during shipping. Before any decking, ling or
carpeng is completed around the installaon, fill
and operate your hot tub to test for leaks (this
ensures easy access and inexpensive correcon).
Check all union connecons and plumbing for minor
leaks. In the event of a leak, ensure all union
connecons and pump plugs are ght and all
o-rings/gaskets are in place.
STARTING
· Before applying voltage to power-up your hot tub, it
is very important that you understand the sequence
of events that occur when the system is acvated in
order that the pump can be primed efficiently and
damage to the system can be avoided.
· Turn the main power “on” at your electrical panel.
· Follow the control instrucons for your parcular
model hot tub to put the pump into low speed see
