Possible Causes

Dirty or clogged filter cartridges, Air lock in pump, Partially closed slice valves, Worn or clogged jet internals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before removing filters or opening unions.

  • Clean filters: Remove all MAAX filters and rinse thoroughly. If pressure improves with filters removed, replace old or collapsed cartridges.
  • Check valves: Ensure all slice valves around the pumps and heater are fully open.
  • Bleed pump: Loosen pump unions slightly to release trapped air, then retighten.
  • Inspect jets: Remove a few jet inserts and check for debris or scale buildup. Clean or replace worn jet internals.
  • Verify pump speed: Make sure you are running the high-speed setting on the jet pump when testing pressure.
