Instructions


1. Re-prime the spa's pump. Turn off power to the spa and turn it back on after a few minutes. Listen to the spa and make sure it begins to prime the pump -- you should hear the motor turn and the spa begin to cycle. Look at the control panel to see if any error messages are present.


2. Cycle through each jet pump settings after re-priming the spa. Place your hand over the jets to test the water flow from the jets. Add water to the spa if it is below the skimmer in the spa tub.


3. Remove the spa's access panel from the external skirting with a screwdriver. Loosen the airlock plug to bleed air from the spa's internal plumbing. Close the airlock when water begins to leak out. Open all air valves located around the pump.


4. Remove the filter to clean out the spa's skimmer. Inspect the filter and clean off any loose debris. Replace the filter if necessary. Clean any water intake inlets in the spa tub.
