Whether pump 1 is on high speed for jets or on low speed for heating, filtration cycle, or clean up cycle, ALL of the water goes through the filters.
Except, of course, all of the water going through jet pump 2.

I am curious as to how Pump #1 can be tied into the filters and Pump #2 is evidently not.  I am also curious as to why some of the models have 4 by-pass valves in them if they are not really by-pass valves like everyone else uses. :)

My Texas friend simply seeks accountability in the spa industry claims, nothing more.  I'm sure we all want honesty and forthrightness to be upheld on this wonderful forum that is a great source of information.

Always be prepared to validate your position and the truth will set you apart from the riff raff.

There is just something about that fairy...I don't know if it's his tights or that wand...but he is just so credible..I'm sure if we could just hear his voice...it would bring fond memories of Mrs. Doubtfire....

IF Marquis doesn't have a bypass valve on the filters, and IF the bottom suction does indeed send the water through the filter, then it will have joined the ranks of truly world-class spas which filter all the water moved by it's jets.

Of course, only half of a Marquis would be world-class* since only one of the jet pumps filters while the other does not filter AT ALL.
