Installation and Setup

Pre-Fill Checklist

Important: The equipment should never be operated

without water in the spa. Serious damage to the pump

and heater may occur.

Step 1: Check Drain Cap: There is a drain cap included in

the Owner’s Packet. Make sure this drain cap is securely

tightened to the end of the drain hose.

Step 2: Tighten Equipment Fittings: Hand tighten all PVC

pipe unions located in the equipment compartment. This

will prevent the possibility of a leak. NOTE: Fittings can

loosen during shipment.

Step 3: Check Slice Valve Keepers: Verify that a slice

valve keeper is installed on each slice valve. Slice valve

keepers prevent the slice valve from vibrating shut during

shipment or operation. A slice valve that closes will result

in a noisy pump due to the lack of water ow. NOTE: Slice

valves are not installed on the Tadpole 251 or Tadpole 362.

For all Tadpole models, omit this step.
