PompeyJay Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Hi everyone ive just bought a house and the previous owners left a spa form hot tub. Judging off the control panel I think it’s the elite m7-4000 model. I’ve never had a hot tub before so I am clueless on the maintenance side of them so apologies if this is a simple answer. so I’ve cleaned it before filling and then filled it, treated it and the drained down (hadn’t been used in 7/8 months the owners said so told me to fill it and use the keys to blow anything out the tubes, a load of white flakes came out) I’ve now refilled it and treated it again. gone to start it up and am having trouble priming it because I think the ‘jet 1’s’ on the tub arnt working. the blower and jets 2&3 are but when I press jet 1 (to initiate the priming) it makes a click sounds then hums, no bubbles in the tub. im pretty sure the first time I filled and and blew all the white stuff out the tubes they came on but now they won’t. it’s been about 2 weeks since I drained it and filled it last night. reading the faqs it says could be a blocked jet and if not contact a technician. does anyone have any possible suggestions before I call someone out? I’ve bleed all the valves like the manual says and I’ve made sure these two handle type things are lifted like the manual also says. I am sure jet 1 worked two weeks ago when clearing the tubes and when trying it it sounds like it’s trying but nothing comes out. many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimy Kraus Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Detach t5he suction side of the pump that isn't working. I am sure the impeller is plugged with white flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
