Possible Causes

Mispositioned Jandy NeverLube valves, Faulty valve actuator, Partially closed spa return valve, Air in spa lines

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before manually moving valve actuators.

  • Check valve positions:
    • Verify suction and return Jandy valves are set correctly for spa mode (suction from spa, return to spa).
  • Inspect actuators:
    • If using Jandy valve actuators, ensure they rotate fully and are not stuck mid-position.
    • Adjust actuator cam stops if valves are not aligning correctly.
  • Bleed air:
    • Run pump in spa mode and open any air bleed valves to purge trapped air.
  • If flow remains weak: Check for obstructions in spa jets or partially closed spa return valves; consult a technician if plumbing issues are suspected.
