How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before removing jets or opening unions.
- 1. Clean filters:
- Remove and thoroughly rinse filters.
- Soak in filter cleaner if heavily soiled.
- 2. Check valves and diverters:
- Ensure all slice valves in the equipment bay are fully open.
- Adjust diverter valves on the spa rim to direct flow where needed.
- 3. Bleed air from pump:
- Loosen the pump union slightly until water flows steadily, then retighten.
- 4. Inspect jets:
- Remove individual jet inserts and check for debris or scale.
- Clean and reinstall or replace worn jet internals.
- 5. If pressure remains low: The jet pump impeller may be worn or partially blocked. Have a technician inspect and service the pump.
