OC Hot Tubs Owner’s Manual
LTR50001045, Rev. N
If you have tried priming the pump several times unsuccessfully using the
control panel, you can bleed the air from the pump manually.
1. Shut off the power to the spa.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the front panel from the spa and
locate the pump.
3. Close the gate valve on the discharge side of the pump (if your spa is
installed with one.)
4. Turn the bleeder valve counter clockwise with a small pair of pliers until
the air has been released from the pump.
5. If this is unsuccessful, loosen the union nut on side of the pump with
channel locks. When air is bled out, tighten the nut.
6. Turn on power to the spa and press the
UP
button. If there is still air
trapped in the pump, repeat steps 2 through 5 until the pump primes.
