I now know what is meant by spatopia! Love my new spa 2005 Marquis Reward. But than again having wet tested 12 different spas I was expecting that.
I now know why there is a disconnect box close to the spa. I did my own wiring. I wanted to be sure I could wire the spa correctly before I added the water. Minnesota gets rather cold this time of year. I finished the wiring and turned on the main breaker in the house and the breaker in the disconnect box. I checked the lights and everything appeared to work fine. I hooked up the hose and started to fill the spa. Gee, what is that strange sound? I did not turn on the spa, only the lights. That strange sound is the main jet pump not getting any water to pump. I immediately went to the disconnect box and turned off the power. My spa does not have an on / off switch. If you want it off, you use the disconnect box.
Outside of having to prime the pump by letting out some air there was no damage. The electronics were probably designed to allow for this mistake.
