PREPARATION AND FILLING
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all
valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow
as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the
control system during the filling process.
After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side
panel display will go through specific sequences. These sequenc-
es are normal and display a variety of information regarding the
configuration of the hot tub control.
PRIMING MODE – M019*
This mode will last for 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit
the priming mode after the pump(s) have primed. Regardless of
whether the priming mode ends automatically or you manually
exit the priming mode, the system will automatically return to
normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode. Dur-
ing the priming mode, the heater is disabled to allow the priming
process to be completed without the possibility of energizing the
heater under low-fl ow or no-fl ow conditions. Nothing comes on
automatically, but the pump(s) can be energized by pushing the
“Jet” buttons. If the spa has a Circ Pump, it can be activated by
pressing the “Light” button during Priming Mode.
PRIMING THE PUMPS
As soon as the above display appears on the panel, push the
“Jet” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then again
to switch to high-speed. Also, push the Pump 2 or “Aux” button,
if you have a 2nd pump, to turn it on. The pumps will now be
running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps have not
primed after 2 minutes, and water is not fl owing from the jets in
the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the
pumps and repeat the process.
Note: Turning the power off and back on again will initiate a
new pump priming session. Sometimes momentarily turning the
pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than
5 times. If the pump(s) will not prime, shut off the power to the
spa.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without prim-
ing 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 ºthe
pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into
an overheat condition.

EXITING PRIMING MODE
You can manually exit Priming Mode by pressing a “Temp” button
(Up or Down). Note that if you do not manually exit the priming
mode as described above, the priming mode will be automati-
cally terminated after 4-5 minutes. Be sure that the pump(s) have
been primed by this time.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel
will momentarily display the set temperature but the display will
not show the temperature yet, as shown below. This is because
the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowing
through the heater to determine the water temperature and
display it.
