Would this work for as. Inflatable hot tub also ? Have the same problem I turn on the bubbles I hear a humming noise but no bubbles

[@QuadDamageFPV]

Thank you. I watched about 5 videos before yours, and all them pointed vaguely in the right direction. But your description of how to bleed the air off through the valves on the exit of the pump was my perfect solution. Strange that this simple procedure is absent from the included manual. Thanks again man 👍

[@SwimUniversity]

Glad it was helpful!

Where was this video yesterday!!! lol...i had to watch some super old video from a random guy to figure out how to fix an Air Lock...all good now though. Hot tub is up and working. Keep up the great videos!!!

[@SwimUniversity]

Glad you got it fixed! And we'll keep up the video making for sure ;-)

[@davidcalabria6761]

My friend, I don't how much money you just saved me from a service call but your burping method worked like a charm!!

[@SwimUniversity]

Great! So happy to help!

[@dbry4756]

Which side of pump is discharge side. Also I didnt notice you say to reopen that valve but i assime you must, right?

Thank u Swim U

Even though I fill through the filter housing, I still manage to get an air lock EVERY time. This time, it would not give! I even tried releasing the air at the pumps and I got water so the air lock was not where I expected it to be. I know it was not the recommended option, but I gently used my plunger to pull the air out through the filter housing and voila! Air Lock resolved!

Thank you so much! Worked!!🎉

[@SwimUniversity]

Glad it helped!

[@shephardofdeath7172]

Thanks you!! Helped me with my air pocket and get my hotub running again!

[@jeremykelone36]

That works thanks

[@equilibriumfloats]

Does that also work in a hot spring?

[@mrdeneanon9519]

How about if all but one jet are working? Its spinning slowly but no air jet? Any hot tip? Many thanks.

[@WeNeedChange3310]

I have a Hot Springs tub. I like to do a though cleaning and at the end of every cleaning I suck the old water with a vacuum from the jets themselves within the tub. Since using this method during cleans my hot tub struggles to engage clean cycle or jet cycle after refiling, but usually after a few seconds starts working. This recent cleaning I'm having even more issues. Clean cycle won't work and jets work. This morning trying it again, I got the clean cycle to run but once I turned it off and tried again it wouldn't work and neither would the jets. I'm also noticing after my cleaning that the waterfall is not pushing out water. Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much.

[@geraldkyle5819]

That was an easy fix after you told me how to do it.

[@oakvalleycollege]

Great video, thanks. I am able to turn the jets on for my hottub. Everything seems to work fine with the jets on high. However, when I shut the jets off, the filter tries to turn on (low jets) for 5-15 seconds, but then it shuts off. I have tried dozens of times.

[@tiffanygallagher6348]

Hi I had a small leak in the hot tub (now fixed) plus my water line got below the top jets so I think I have an airlock but water is coming out of jets pressue is just not as powerful as it was before (circ pump jets only) does this sound like an air lock to you? :)

[@betsyweber38]

I have a BullFrog hot tub. I have air bubbles coming out a few jets. When I turn them off the bubbles come out of a different jet. I think I have air in my lines? Pump? I have lost jet pressure. Physically I can't get to the pump and try to bleed the air out. I have tried everything that I can and I maintain my hot tub well. My technical service person said that this is normal but I'm worried that air is running through the pump and it's going to burn out??? I have even had air bubbles coming out of my filters and I spray them every week

[@SwimUniversity]

Unfortunately like we mentioned in the video if it is a hot tub air lock and if burping your jets didn't solve the issue, you'll need to find a way to access your pump and expel the air directly.

[@byronfiscus5454]

​Any suggestions for a professional who's starting to question his abilities. I have a tub that is a year old they built it into a deck with a roof over it and left no access to the bottom bottom of the tub to bleed the pumps.

[@johnnymiller4156]

Just the tips I was looking for to get the air out of the pump and the spa working again, thanks

[@franciscofredviana743]

I have a Jacuzzi, I'm getting FL1 code after I empty and refilled there is not hot water coming from the place where hot water comes from. Jets are working fine and I opened a few places in the pipe to get water out including the flow switch location. I've removed the filter and run without the filter too. Still getting FL1 and no hot water. Any tips?

[@maylovesdailyprofit]

Hi my hottub has a slow, and I don't see any water underneath, what do u think the problem is . Thanks

[@Ryandoesdifferentthings]

Help! I bought 2 of the same spas and 1 has really strong jets the other one not so strong. I tried to drain air lock from pumps, but it didn’t help completely. I am frustrated and the spa company isn’t helping me!!

[@Lilith87]

Just to confirm, I need to turn the power off during the burping process?

[@cmdoggy24]

I keep getting air trapped under my filter caps, one cap has the bulk of the air. Anyhow it causes low flow through the heater and then the heater trips off. Is there any way to prevent this? It’s a perpetual problem each week

[@SwimUniversity]

Might be an issue with your o-ring and the filter not making proper suction

[@Plutoxx10]

But I’m having a problem with my hotel hot tub

[@devan2462]

You forgot to mention to reopen the valve on the discharge side
