• If your hot tub is equipped with the optional Remote
Above-Grade Equipment Package, you should close the
gate valves on either side of the pump, loosen off the lids
on the priming pots, fill with water, re-seal, turn on the
pumps and quickly re-open valves.
• Turn the pump onto high speed and re-check 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 sanitizor.
• The hot tub will require 8-10 hours to reach the desired
temperature.
• Keep insulated safety hard cover on the hot tub, and the
air controls closed during the entire heat up process.
Definition: '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.
