Possible Causes

Air trapped in Villeroy & Boch jet pump after draining, Improper refill procedure, Closed air control valves

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before opening unions.

  • Bleed pump: Loosen the union on the suction side of the jet pump until water flows steadily, then retighten.
  • Cycle pumps: Restore power and run pumps on low and high speed with all jets and diverter valves open to purge air.
  • Refill through filter well: Next time you refill your Villeroy & Boch spa, place the hose in the filter compartment to help fill plumbing first and reduce air locks.
