Buckster Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I refilled the tub today and went to turn the breaker on and heard the circ pump sputter a bit. I immediately turned it off and notice that there is about 12 inches of air stuck between the heater and the circ pump. the last time this happened, I burned up the heater. Is their a way to be sure that all of the air is out before I start it again. Thanks..Bucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Great thanks, this is what I thought. I tried this last time but did not do a good enough job, so I guess I will need to make sure this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may hear a little air escape but it may be subtle depending on how much air there is. Just loosen it until you see water start to escape and then you should be ok. The water won't hurt anything, don't close it too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
