By now you have rechecked the mechanical connections and filled it with water to within 1/4" of the top of the Weir door by adding cold tap water through the filter. Next, you can turn on all power to the spa at the main breaker panel and test the operation of the system.

 

  1. Turn on the breaker and test the operation of the Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker by pushing the small button. This should automatically trip the spa's circuit breaker.
     

    DANGER!

    If this breaker does not trip, call our technical support number immediately at

    (727) 573-9888.
    Do not use your spa!
     
    Only if pushing this button successfully trips this circuit breaker, reset this breaker and proceed to the next step.

  2. Go to the topside control panel and look at the display. The topside control display goes through a startup sequence after which the panel should alternately display the time and system status.

  3. Press the Pump 1 button. You should hear the first pump turn on, see water circulating, and see the Pump 1 light illuminate.

    If water is not flowing from the jets in the spa after 2 minutes, turn the power off at the main house panel and bleed the pump. Do this by loosening the union on the discharge side of pump. Turn the power on again. Sometimes momentarily turning the pump off and on will help to prime. Do not do this more than four times.

  4. Press the Pump 1 button again. You should hear the first pump turn on a higher speed.

  5. If the water is running smoothly through the lines, open the air control valve to the jets and you should see an increase in jet pressure. Check and adjust the water and airflow of every jet if necessary.

  6. Push Pump 1 key a third time to turn Pump 1 off. A built-in timer automatically turns Pump 1 off after 20 minutes, unless the pump manually has been deactivated first.

  7. Press Pump 2 key to activate the single-speed pump (if equipped). If Pump 2 has not primed after 2 minutes repeat same priming procedure of step 3 above for Pump 2. Check and adjust the water and airflow of every jet from Pump 2 if necessary.

  8. Push Pump 2 key a second time to turn off Pump 2.

  9. Press the Blower key to turn on the air blower (if equipped). Check if air goes to air jets on the butt/bottom of each seat.

  10. Press the Blower key again to turn the Blower off. A built-in timer automatically turns the Blower off after 20 minutes, unless it manually has been deactivated first.

  11. Press the Light key to turn the spa Light on. Verify the spa Light is on.

  12. Press the Light key a second time to turn the spa Light off. A built-in timer automatically turns the spa Light off after two hours, unless the spa Light manually has been deactivated first.

 

Once the electrical check is complete, continue to the next step.
