7. Remove the two shipping bolts located on the front of the
pump mount (circled in illustration).
8. If your spa has a bleeder valve in the skimmer area (see
picture at right) remove it to allow air to escape from the
pump(s) while you are filling the spa. To remove the
bleeder, unscrew it until it comes all the way out of the spa
wall.
Note: Don’t forget to replace the bleeder valve later after
the pumps are operational.
9. Remove the skimmer canister lid and then remove the foam blocks securing the
filter. (See photo at right). Remove the filter and fill the spa with a hose placed
in the empty filter canister. (For a detailed description of opening the skimmer
canister and removing the filter, see the Filter Cleaning topic in the Routine
Equipment Maintenance section of this manual).
10. Fill the spa until the water level is about 6 inches (15 cm) below the top of the spa.
11. Once the spa is filled, turn on the power at the GFCI circuit breaker. Push the JETS Button twice (use the
JETS 1 Button on multi-pump spas) on North American 60Hz models to turn the pump on to high speed. (Push
it once on European 50Hz models for High Speed). Let the system run for 30 to 45 seconds to prime the pump.
Then push the button again to shut the pump off. If your spa has two jet pumps, repeat the process by pushing
the JETS 2 Button once to run it at high speed and prime that pump.
If there is no jet action, then there is air trapped in the plumbing. To eliminate the trapped air, turn the jets
button on and off several times to force the trapped air through the pumps. If there is still no jet action, turn off
the pumps, turn off the power at the GFCI and loosen the top pump unions (see image of typical unions in Step
6 above) slightly to let any trapped air escape. Then re-tighten the pump unions, turn the power on at the GFCI,
and prime the pumps again as described in the previous step. Repeat this process if necessary until the jets
