Possible Causes
Spa just powered up and is in priming mode, Air lock in pump after refill, Pump not receiving power or seized
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the spa is completely filled before powering on. Running pumps dry can cause damage.
Priming steps:
- Allow priming cycle: After power-up, many Dream Maker Spas enter a priming mode (PR) for several minutes. Use the JETS button to cycle pumps on and off to purge air.
- Bleed air manually: If the pump only hums or no water moves, turn power OFF and loosen the pump union slightly until water seeps out, then retighten. Restore power and try again.
- Check slice valves: Ensure any gate/slice valves on either side of the pump are fully open.
- Verify pump operation: If the pump does not run at all, check for tripped GFCI or internal fuses. A seized pump may need replacement.
