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.
