FILLING, CHECKING AND STARTING YOUR SWIM SPA—13FFP
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
connecon.
• 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 fings can occur during
shipping. Before any decking, ling or carpeng is
completed around the installaon, fill and operate your
hot tub to test for leaks (this ensures easy access and
inexpensive correcon). Check all union connecons and
plumbing for minor leaks. In the event of a leak, ensure all
union connecons 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 acvated 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 instrucons for your parcular model
hot tub to put the pump into low speed see secon
HYDROPOOL CONTROL SYSTEMS PUMP PRIMING/
RELEASING AN AIR LOCK
• On some systems a message will appear on the display
indicang that the system is in PUMP PRIMING MODE
(“RUN PMPS PURG AIR”). This mode will last for 4
minutes before automacally entering the normal
operaon mode. See complete details for your spa in
secon HYDROPOOL CONTROL SYSTEMS
Definion: ‘Priming’ a pump is a term used to describe the
process in which air trapped in the plumbing and pump
wet-end (referred to as an ‘air lock’) is released, allowing
the pump to move water efficiently through the plumbing
system and to the jets.
