INSPECTION

and remove any debris in the spa tub and in the filter. Verify that pump
plugs are installed on the pumps and the pump unions are tight.

FILLING THE SPA WITH WATER

will cause damage to the surface and plumbing of the spa. This
will void your warranty. Level the spa before filling.

2) Remove the filters from your spa (see Removing, Installing and
