Procedures for 880 Series

In the unlikely event your hot tub is not working in the way you believe it should, please first review all the installation and operating instructions in this manual, and check the message on the panel display; second, if you are still not satisfied it is working properly, please follow the appropriate troubleshooting instructions.

  • Pump Priming Instructions

This method must be used for the jets pumps because these pumps are not connected to the main filter system in any way.

1. Turn off the power to the spa.

2. Remove the handle from the massage selector supplied by the pump you are priming.

3. Loosen the massage selectorÕs cap slightly (counterclockwise), listening for the air to seep out.

4. Tighten the cap finger tight, replace the handle, and turn the spaÕs power back on.
