Vent air by slightly
opening pump unions.
when draining the spa (do not rely on the cap to stop the flow of water). Not
doing so could result in damage to the drain valve due to freezing water.
4. Install filter cartridges. (See INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridges.)
5. Fill the spa with water to two-thirds of the way up the Vortex skimmer
openings. The use of a Fill Filter is recommended, especially in areas with
high mineral content in the water.
6. Turn the power on.
WARNING: Spa must be completely filled with water before turning on power.
7. Your spa is now in "pump priming" mode and a "RUN PMPS PURG AIR"
message displays in the LCD window of the control panel. While in this
mode the spa appears idle, which lasts approximately four to five minutes if
not exited manually. To exit manually, press the TEMP+/- pad.
8. Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see SPA CONTROL OPERA-
TION) for four to five minutes to discharge air from the plumbing system.
Do not expect hot water immediately from the jets; the heater will take
several hours to heat the water.
9. At this time the spa should have water flowing from the jets. If the pump
has not primed and the water is not flowing from the jets after two min-
utes TURN OFF POWER TO THE SPA and vent air from the pumps by
slightly opening the pump unions located behind the equipment door.
After turning the power on again, the spa initiates a new priming mode.
Repeat steps above.
10. The system requires approximately two minutes of water flow to de-
termine the water temperature. After two minutes of water flow, the
temperature is displayed as actual water temperature. After you have
manually exited the priming mode (or allowed the spa to automatically exit)
the LCD window momentarily displays 100°F (38°C) and then the display
switches to - - °F.
11. The factory default setting for water temperature is 100°F (38°C). Use
the TEMP pad on the control panel to set the water temperature to the
desired level. (See SPA CONTROL OPERATION.) It takes up to 24 hours
to heat the water to desired temperature depending on the water tem-
perature and voltage of your spa.
12. If water is not coming out of the jets, check to make sure the adjustable
jets are open. Simply turn the jet face to open or close the jets.
Test the water for the proper chemical balance and adjust as neces-
sary. SpaCare products are recommended. (See WATER TREATMENT.)
PROPER CHEMICAL BALANCE IS IMPORTANT for your safety and the
longevity of your spa.
