I have just refilled by hot tub with a balboa 500z pump. After refilling it the pump is working fine but the jets are not. The dr light has come up. Please can someone help me bleed the pump to get it operational again. I would be grateful for lots of detail. Thanks

Priming can be done many different ways depending on thetubs design. Some tub manufactures provide bleed valves located on the plumbingjust beyond the pump and heater unions. Some pumps have a bleed valve locatedon the pump. If there are no bleed valves then you will have to release theunion nuts to allow the air to escape.

No temperature display cant set temperature

Located behind the access panel there is a grey box that is the spa pack. Open that up with the 2 screws on the top of the pack. There is a small glass fuse on the circuit board. One of those fuses is most likely blown. If that is not the culprit you need a new topside control. More than likely it's the fuse.

A lot of times you can get an air lock as the spa fills. All you need to do to fix this is open the drain valve for a few seconds till it runs just water and no air. Or start the pump wile the drain is open. This should fix your problem. Good luck.

Hot tub maintenance

there will be the same amount of basic maintenance on either spa. The difference will be in water chemistry. you definitely want an ozone generator on either spa. Both are awesome Mfg of spas. they both have been around since the 1980's
Ozone will keep the water cleaner, fresher smelling and reduce the total amount of traditional chemicals used in any hot tub.
There are many other solutions for taking care of water chemistry out there without using the traditional types.
some are all natural.
