Spa water has very weak jet pressure; bubbles may be present but massage is poor.

Possible Causes

Dirty or clogged filter, Partially closed diverter valve, Air control valves closed, Worn jet internals or orifices, Low pump speed selected

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work is required for this procedure.

  • 1. Verify pump speed: Ensure the main jet pump is on high speed if your Sundance model has 2-speed pumps.
  • 2. Open air controls: Turn the air control knobs on the spa rim fully open to allow air to mix with water for stronger jets.
  • 3. Adjust diverter valves: Set diverter valves to direct flow to the seats you are using. Mid-position often splits flow and reduces pressure.
  • 4. Clean filter: Remove and clean or replace the filter to restore full flow.
  • 5. Inspect jets: Remove individual jet inserts and check for debris or scale buildup. Clean or replace worn jets.
  • When to call a technician: If pressure remains low with a clean filter and open valves, the pump impeller may be damaged or partially blocked and should be inspected by a professional.
