Spa Man..... Dude your videos are a life saver. You have saved me so many times from pissing away a bunch of money or time troubleshooting. Keep up the good work, your hottub content is priceless and I seek you out over anyone else. Make more repair videos as there is nowhere near enough hot tub repair videos on the web. Considering all the various models its hit and miss. Everyone always seems to be so intimidated about repairing their own tubs. Your light hearted videos remove that intimidation factor. Appreciate you.
You just saved me arse!! Thanks so much. I restarted the tub, cycled the pumps, bled the lines and I don't think I have a bleed valve. Nothing worked. I'm also in Canada so I was very worried about freezing. Then came your plunger idea!!!! It's first if there's a next time.
Yes, I'm a hot tub tech too, that is good 👍 You can also go in the front spa cabinet and release the airlock that way as well through the pump itself or intake pump union. Nice, I'll have to try the plunger method, I'm so used to releasing it from the pump, thanks! 👌
Awesome tip! Had a Flo error problem. Worked like a champ! Thanx! To give some more background, the tubby took a lightening hit and had to replaced the control board. Thought there were more problems , but you got me saved! Thanx again!
Good job .I Bought a new Spa had the electrical 220 hooked and breakers But wanted to know how to prime it first start up So now after you showing i will fire it up! TKU!
Awesome trick! Fixed my airlock problem! We had to try a few times, then I opened up the compartment that holds the chlorine called the "frog" and it allowed the air to escape and instantly started working while plunging.
@@spaman5440i tried loosening the union at the motor but it didn't...can it be I need to do it with the other union or it doesn't make a difference? The other union is very tricky to unscrew..
@@kingbee4474 I've done it with both and it worked fine.If I have a Hot Tub that just will not prime I take my Little giant pump and stick it in the tub and take the hose and put it in the filter hole and force the water through the system. there are a couple of tub that because of the way they are plumbed. alway seem to get air locks.. side note make sure all the jets are open and the diverter valve is in the middle. Hope this helps Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 Thanks for the reply! Do I use the submersible pump while the spa is off or I make it run into to filter area while I press jets on and off trying to prime it at samr time? How long should I let sum pump run?
@@kingbee4474 I do them at the same time with the spa on low speed. Then I take the hose from my little giant pump and stick it in the filter area and it primes in seconds.. if it doesn't you have other problems and should stop and call a tech...do not keep trying to make it prime if it doesn't prime in a couple seconds you most likely have a blockage in the system that you are unaware of it needs to be checked out .. If you have a blockage and you keep trying to prime it you will damage something and it might cost you big..Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
My Artesian spa has 4 individual pumps. I just finished using a spa system cleaner and was using my shop vac to clean. Now i have just 1 pump i guess has an air lock. I suppose i would have to got to the pump and release the air somehow?
Can I ask for your help I have that ht tub. But I have had to put a new pump heater and control panel how do I make it plug and play I am based in the uk.
I have a caldera vanto spa and it is air locked and nothing i do will fix it. The plunger trick wont work on mine of course because the caldera has a tube that comes up in the filter. So im still searching for a remedy.
I use an air hole and turn the pressure up to 100 psi and I blow the heck out of the jet and most often it does the trick Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Yes... If you had a little bit of water in the pipes down by the pump and the pump turned on...it would push the water out of the pump and without any water coming into the pump that would starve the pump of water and could cause an air lock ...Easy fix You know what to do. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
That’s the one I use. Except they have a white plastic handle now. My orange one got left in one of my old vans. I tried a little plastic one and it worked great but I think it is only going to be good for the pressure side of stuff because it got sucked down when I used it on the filter side and I had to rip it off.
All my jets work when I turn on the Jets the five Jets underneath the air filter that turns on every once in awhile to keep the hot tub hot is not working and I think the filter is not pulling water correctly how can I correct this
Hi! We just installed a new gecko spa pack (in.ye-5 bundled system). After installation, we filled up the hot tub and turned it on. We immediately got a FLO error message. We did ALL the troubleshooting (checked all connections, opening all jets, removed filter, bled the pump, etc.). We even did the plunger trick you describe in this video. It did not work. The water flow is intermittent and we can hear the pump click on and off. When we try to put on the higher speed, it'll run for 5 seconds and automatically turn off (and the water flow is not any faster). We have a Bahama spa, 250 gallon capacity with one filter port and only two speeds (low and high) on the jets. We've had it for approximately 12 years, we've only replaced the pump once about 5 years ago (it is now a gecko XP2 pump). Can you give us any advice as we have certainly stumped the gecko technicians. By the way, we really like your channel.
When i turn my jets off, air bubbles come out of the jets, i also noticed some of my jets have like full power, and the one next to it is barely flowing anything at all. Do you suspect i have an airlock, or some other issue? It's a brand new tub with a warranty, just doing my own research before calling for service.
I live in Puerto Rico and I can't find one person who repairs yacuzzis. Can you walk me thru a diagnosis so I can do it myself? You can charge me for it. Thank you
Hey man I have a pr code I try everything possible except the plunger because it's a Balboa spa so I can't put the use the plunger method. I even drain the hot tub two times and I still can't get it to run help please
I would need to know the manufacture of the spa.. (Balboa does not make spas they make the equipment inside the spa)Once I know who made the spa I can help you fix your problem...Every spa has quarks about them that make that spa sometime a pain to get up and running.. But we can Help You Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
As long as you can cover the filter inlet and get a good seal and all of the connection are tight...I will work every time. If it doesn't work you could have something else going... Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
No ...in your case I would take the side panel off and go the pump #1 and loosen inlet or outlet side of the pump to let the sir out Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
I have a Caldera Hot tub I tried the toilet plunger I couldn’t get the plunger method to work. I took out the filter & placed the plunger on the stem assembly that the filter slides down onto. My Hot Tub was working prior to refilling it back up. So it’s clear it has an air lock or something. I was just looking for help for Caldera Hot tub trouble shooting.
Make sure all the jets are open and the diverter valve is in the middle and the plunger should work… if not you can take the side off and find primary pump one and crack open the the pump and this will work also… now for the bad part of you open it up to much and the O-RINGS gets pushed out you may half to empty and fix o ring and start over… Hope this Helps Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Thanks for the reply back I do appreciate it. I tried again the toilet plunger still nothing. My Caldera Spa has a stem where the filter goes on so the toilet plunger can’t suction out because of the stem design of it. My hot tub doesn’t have a diverter valve on the top area of my spa the only controls in a valve situation is turning on & off the jets to the seated portions. So unfortunately, it’s something that’s gonna have to be troubleshoot through taking off the control panel. I tried sticking the garden hose down the stem where I removed my filter, turned it on full blast, even tried that nothing worked.
Why does it say air lock but I have clean filters and all the jets are working ? First it said closed flow switch then I cleaned filter and put new water now says open / air lock
So first off take the filters and just let hem float in the water until the airlock goes away ( if the code does not go away most often it is a pump problem)If the problem goes away then put filters in place ( if the problem comes back you have a filter problem and I would replace them.. ( I replace filters every year !!! ) Thanks for Watching & SCBSCRIBING
My intake isn't accessible like that one. So I just loosen the highest fitting off of a pump. I can hear the air escape. I call it burping the tub. The airlock only happens after I drain and refill the tub.
Good stuff! I have a Sundance Certa 780 and pretty much after every refill for years the jets work and the heater doesn't and I get the dreaded FL1 error message. Usually within a couple days it works itself out (figuring air lock). This time it is not - tried this method with no luck. I refuse to believe a part happened to go bad between draining/refill. Any other tips where I don't have to open the panel?
Hi does anyone know if the plunger method can be used on a hot tub with a pressurized filter? I have to turn the hot tub off before removing the filter and the hot tub can't be switched back on until the filter and pressurised filter lid lock ring are back in place.
On a system like that you have ti turn the hot tub off and the use the plunger until you see air bubbles coming out the jets once that happens put the lid back on with the locking ring in place (note don't install the filter until the spa has started working)Some experts say that with a pressurized you can't do this because you will lose the prim when you reinstall the filter...I have never had that problem but that dissent mean it couldn't happen ...Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
We drained, cleaned and refilled our swim spa yesterday. It holds 1200 gallons of water. After it was almost full I turned on circuit breaker and left it alone for 11 min so it could do its diagnostics. This was at about 3:30 yesterday -Saturday . Then I increased the temperature and left it to warm up. For an hour. It will not go above 80 degrees. I got a LF message which means low flow but water level is fine. Manual says heating capacity of spa will not reset automatically you may press any button to reset. So I pressed several buttons waited another hour and it still was not heating. The manual says make sure the pumps have been primed. How do I do that? At 7 pm last night it was still not heating and I still got the low flow message. The filter was new a month ago. Water level is fine. I just checked this am and it’s still giving a LF message at 7:25 am Sunday. 😑
Ok you probably have an air lock or you are not in the right mode or your pumps are not functioning properly. when you turn on the jet does everything function properly on low and high speed ? if not you have a flow problem and need to figure out what kind of a system you have so as to fix the problem. 1 Is there a cir pump and if so is it working 2 Depending on how many pumps you have when you turn on Pump 1 or Pump 2 do they work the way they are supposed to work? # are all of the jets open so as not to cause any restrictions? I think when you turned on the breaker before it was full you got an airlock in the system and that is what is causing the problem with low flow or you have blockage somewhere or you might have a bad worn out pump. (Pro TIP) You NEVER put the filter in the tub until it is full of water and running properly.. Throw them in the tub and let them float around until everything is up and running.And do not turn on the breaker until you have the tub full of water. I know I have turned on breakers in my videos before tub was filled but I also tell the viewers that if I have any FLOW problems that I have a special pump to fix the problem in less then a minute. Hope this Helps Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Oh thank you - so I should NOT turn on breaker until swim spa is totally full? I have 2 swim jets and about 6 months ago the more forceful one stopped working as it usually did. When I turn on that swim jet it doesn't work like before but it still works. I didn’t mind because I use mostly only the weaker swim jet. Maybe this is the problem? I thought I was supposed to refill spa by putting water hose into the filter? That’s how I have always refilled The swim spa and never had this issue before.@@spaman5440
I have an air lock that continues to come back. I can bleed the pumps and get them working but the air lock just keeps coming back at every use. Any ideas?
@SevenThunderful Yes I remove the filter and put the pump's outlet hose at the filter hole. Its worked for me very quickly. I've wondered if a shop vac might be able to do the same thing in reverse by vacuuming the water through to remove the air but I've never tried it. The submersible is easier for me rather than getting dirty dealing with the shop vac filter.
Open up the side panel so you can get to the pump/motor and open up one of the connections on the pump just a turn or two when it starts to pump water tighten it back up...I hate doing it this way I will try everything before doing it this way. If this way doesn't work there is something you have missed along the way . Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 I found the ring, but it won't budge. I looks to be glued in place. Plunger doesn't seem to be working either. Company says to loosen the ring. Hopefully, they will reply to emails with ideas.
