Possible Causes

Dirty or partially clogged filter cartridges, Airlock in jet pump, Diverter valves not positioned correctly, Debris in jet bodies or suction fittings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

  • Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly rinse all Michael Phelps Spas filter cartridges. Replace if they are old or collapsed.
  • Check diverter valves: Rotate any large top-side diverter valves slowly through all positions to direct flow to different seat groups. Ensure they are not stuck between positions.
  • Bleed air from pump: With power OFF, loosen the jet pump union until air escapes and water seeps out, then retighten.
  • Inspect jets: Remove individual jet inserts (where possible) and check for debris such as sand, leaves, or scale. Clean and reinstall.
  • Verify all slice valves are open: Ensure gate valves around the pump and heater are fully raised.
