Preparing forYour New Inground Spa

Air Test

The air test requires a wet/dry vacuum. Locate the plumbing line you wish to identify and secure the vacuum hose to cut open end. Turn on the vacuum, enter the spa and listen for vacuum suction sound from inside the spa side filter canister. If you hear the suction sound in the canister, the line is prop- erly marked and can be connected to the suction side of the pump on the equipment pack.

Water Test

The water test requires a garden hose and water source. Locate the plumbing line you wish to identify and secure the outlet side of the garden hose to cut open end. Turn on the water supply to the garden hose, enter the spa and look for water inside the spa side filter canister. If you see water in the canis- ter the line is properly marked and can be connected to the suction side of the pump on the equipment pack.

If any plumbing line is not properly marked or not marked at all, follow either the air or water test procedure until all lines are identified prior to glu- ing.

NOTE: Once complete, water test the plumbing run for at least three days prior to covering any plumbing trench- es and back-filling spa cavity com- pletely.

NOTE: Some local inspectors require pressure testing the plumbing lines. Although the spa is pressure tested at the factory, local inspectors may insist on pressure testing the plumbing run between the spa and equipment pack.

Gate/Slice Valves

The use of gate valves is recommended on all plumb- ing lines (both suction and return lines). These valves are used to contain the spa’s water in either the equip- ment or the spa. This will assist in the pump priming process and future servicing without needing to drain the spa.

NOTE: When draining the spa to perform mainte- nance, always close the gate valves prior to draining. This will maintain the pumps prime.
