CHECKLIST BEFORE FILLING SPA

Important: The equipment should never be operated without water in the spa. Serious damage to the

pump and/or heater may occur.

 Check Drain Cap: Make sure the drain cap is fastened

securely (located at the end of the drain hose).

 Tighten Equipment Fittings: Hand tighten all PVC pipe

unions and pump drain plugs, located in the equipment

compartment. This will prevent the possibility of a leak

(fittings can loosen during shipment).

 Check Valve Keepers: Verify that a valve keeper is

installed on each slice valve. Valve keepers prevent the

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 flow.

 Fill the Spa: Fill the spa to the water level indication on

the faceplate of the filter assembly. Note: To avoid air

pockets in the pumps and in the main plumbing intake,

fill the spa through the filter assembly. The higher the

water level, the fewer users it will be able to handle.

Also, do not fill the spa with soft water unless the mineral

content is raised immediately (consult your authorized

Bullfrog Portable Spa dealer).

 Check for Leaks: After the spa is filled check all fittings

and equipment for signs of leakage BEFORE turning the

spa on. If a leak is detected, tighten the fitting by hand,

if the leak persists contact your authorized Bullfrog

Portable Spa dealer.

 Install Cover: The spa cover comes with tie-down

straps and locking hardware that attaches the cover to

the spa or decking. If your dealer did not install the

cover, refer to the Cover Installation instructions that

came with the cover.
