O-RING / GASKET AT THE UNION
RELEASING AN AIR LOCK THROUGH THE
PUMP UNION
STARTING (continued)
The water should start circulating immediately. If the
motor works but if you do not notice water circulating
within the first 15 seconds, the pump may require
priming due to trapped air (referred to as an ‘air lock’).
If the pumps have not self-primed after 2 minutes and
water is not flowing from the jets, DO NOT allow the
pumps to continue to run. Turn power off at the main
house panel (or GFCI) and try releasing the air by
loosening the union on the discharge side of the
pump(s) while the motor is not running. Turn the
power back on. If the pumps do not prime after 15
seconds, sometimes momentarily turning the pump(s)
off and on will help the system prime (Note: do not do
this more than 5 times). Repeat if necessary.
Important: Under NO circumstances should the
pump(s) be allowed to operate without priming beyond
5 minutes, as this may not cause unwarrantable
damage to the pump, it may also cause the control
system to into an overheat condition.
Turn the hydrotherapy pump(s) onto high speed and
recheck for leaks. The control system will
automatically return the pump to low speed after 15
minutes.
Adjust the hot tub heat control at the topside panel to
the desired water temperature.
Adjust water balance (pH, TA, calcium hardness) to
recommended levels and add sanitizer once the water
temperature reaches 20
o
C (68
o
F). See section HOT
TUB WATER BALANCE.
Keep insulated safety hard cover on the hot tub, and
the air controls closed during the entire heat up
process.
NOTE:
In order to prevent damage to your pillows caused by
the gassing effect of the chemicals, we do
recommend to remove them when the spa is not in
use. By removing them you will extend considerably
the life length of your pillows. We do design our
pillows to be removed easily in order to make sure
they will not remain in the spa when it’s not in use.
