A er the ini al start

As soon as the Priming Mode screen appears on the panel, select the “Jets 1” bu on once to start Pump 1 in low
‐
speed and then
again to switch to high
‐
speed. Also, select the other pumps, to turn them on. The pumps should be running in high
‐
speed to
facilitate priming. If the pumps have not primed a er 2 minutes, and water is not
fl
owing from the jets in the spa, do not allow the
pumps to con nue to run. Turn o
ff
the pumps and repeat the process.
Note: Turning the power o
ff
and back on again will ini ate a new pump priming
session. Some mes momentarily turning the pump o
ff

Do not do this more than 5 mes. If the pump(s) will not prime, shut o
ff
the power
to the spa and call for service.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than 2
minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without
priming beyond the end of the 4
‐
5 minute priming mode. Doing so may cause
damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater into an overheat
condi on.

Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top

side panel will display the Main Screen, but the display will not show the water
temperature yet, as shown below. This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water
fl
owing through the heater
to determine the water temperature and display it.
