Re: Spa code of 'Dr' and 'Dry'. How does one fix this issue? Thank you for your reply it is greatly appreciated. I will take a look at the website you guided me to and see if this helps. As far as filling the tub, I did place the garden hose into the filter directly to minimize the possibility of air lock.
