FILLING, CHECKING AND STARTING YOUR HOT TUB
FILLING
When adding water for the first time, 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 connection.
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 fittings can occur during
shipping. Before any decking, tiling or carpeting is
completed around the installation, fill and operate your
hot tub to test for leaks (this ensures easy access and
inexpensive correction). Check all union connections
and plumbing for minor leaks. In the event of a leak,
ensure all union connections and pump plugs are tight
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 activated 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 instructions for your particular model
hot tub to put the pump into low speed see section
HYDROPOOL CONTROL SYSTEMS PUMP PRIMING
/ RELEASING AN AIR LOCK.
On some systems a message will appear on the display
indicating that the system is in PUMP PRIMING MODE
(“RUN PMPS PURG AIR”). This mode will last for 4
minutes before automatically entering the normal
operation mode. See complete details for your spa in
section HYDROPOOL CONTROL SYSTEMS.
