Water Flow Error | The stopper caps are still inside the spa. | Remove the black stopper caps from the inside of the liner before heating, filtering or running the bubbles on the spa. If you are unsure how to remove them, please refer to the assembly section within the Lay-Z-Spa owners manual. |
Filter cartridges are dirty | Remove the filter cartridge from the filter housing and check it is clean. Please make sure the new filter is clean and dry before you install it. | |
Filter housing is restricting flow | Remove the filter housing from the liner and check the black membrane inside. These should lie flat inside the housing. If they are ok, continue to run the spa without the filter cartridge attached and see if the error code persists. | |
Ensure that the debris screens are clear of debris. | ||
Pipes within the liner are kinked or bent. | Disconnect the pump and check the pipes inside the liner. You can manipulate these with warm water to return them to the correct shape. | |
Washers perished inside pump couplings | Disconnect the pump from the liner. Check the condition of washers inside the couplings on the pump. We would suggest backwashing the pump to clear any debris. If the washers are perished you can purchase spares from the Lay-Z-Spa website here | |

Backwash Procedure
Attach the stopper caps to the inside of the liner and then remove the Lay-Z-Spa pump unit from the liner (you can do this by unscrewing the 3 couplings ‘A, B and C’).
Using a hosepipe, flush water backwards through the pump. Water should go through pipe ‘B’ and come out of pipe ‘C’.
After a few minutes, flush the water in the opposite direction for about 2 minutes (through pipe ‘C’ and out of pipe ‘B’).
If you have a Hydro Jet Lay-Z-Spa, unfortunately, the backwash procedure will be a little tricky. These are not constructed like the other models of the Lay-Z-Spa. please contact us
