How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the spa before inspecting the pump or hoses.

  • Bleed air: Remove air from the system by loosening the filter housing cap slightly until water appears, then retighten.
  • Check for debris: Remove the filter and inspect the suction area for stones or hard debris that could reach the pump.
  • Secure motor unit: Ensure the NetSpa motor unit is on a stable, level surface to reduce vibration.

Persistent grinding or rattling usually indicates internal pump damage. The NetSpa circulation/massage pump assembly should be replaced to prevent complete failure.
