Bleeding Air from the Pump
If you have tried priming the pump several
times unsuccessfully using the control panel,
you can bleed the air from the pump manually.
1. Shut off the power to the spa.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the
front panel from the spa and locate the
pump.
3. Close the gate valve on the discharge side
of the pump (if your spa is installed with
one.)
4. Turn the bleeder valve counter clockwise
with a small pair of pliers until the air has
been released from the pump.
5. If this is unsuccessful, loosen the union nut
on side of the pump with channel locks.
When air is bled out, tighten the nut.
6. Turn on power to the spa and press the
JETS button. If there is still air trapped in
the pump, repeat steps 2 through 5 until
the pump primes.
