  | Air Relief Valve | 
  | Used for purging air from the filter system whenever servicing the  | 
  | 
  | 
  | filter, during initial startup, and whenever you drain and fill the  | 
  | 
  | 
  | Aquatic Fitness System. | 
  | Air Volume Controls | 
  | Increase or decrease the amount of air drawn through the jets. The  | 
  | 
  | 
  | intensity of jet action is varied by adjusting the amount of air mixed  | 
  | 
  | 
  | with the water forced through the jets. More air produces a more  | 
  | 
  | 
  | vigorous massage. Since air bubbles tend to cool the Aquatic  | 
  | 
  | 
  | Fitness System, the air controls should be closed while the  | 
  | 
  | 
  | Aquatic Fitness System is heating. |

  | 
  |

  | 
  | 
  | Fitness System’s water. The lock ring holding the filter cover in  | 
  |
