Priming The Pump - OC Hot Tubs Serenity Owner's Manual

Priming the Pump

New spa owners often have difficulty the first time they start their spa
and the pump fails to prime. This can be frustrating, but these simple
instructions can help you.
Sometimes air can become trapped in the pump while filling the spa. You
will know this has happened when after you have filled and started the spa,
the pump does not seem to function. You will hear the pump operating, but no water will be moving.
Your spa will perform a self-diagnostic check and go into
Priming Mode. The control panel will display either RUN
PUMPS PURG AIR --- or Priming Mode, depending on
which control panel you have.
Do the following:
1. Press the JETS or JETS 1 button once to start the pump
in low speed.
2. Press it again to switch the pump to high speed.

3. If you have other pumps, press JETS 2 to turn them
on also.
Running the pumps helps the pumps prime.
After two minutes, the pump should prime. If it does not,
follow the priming instructions on the next page. If it does,
continue with the next step.
For one pump systems
For two pump systems
The pump will not work
properly while air is trapped in it.
Continuing to operate the pump
in this way will cause damage.
