OWNER’S MANUAL
2530-277D Rev A
Attention New Spa Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Jacuzzi ® spa! The following is a list of automated functions performed by your spa. These functions are listed below in an attempt to alleviate any operational concerns you may have during the first 24 hours of ownership! Also listed below are important maintenance recommendations you should observe on a regular basis to protect your new investment.
Automated Operations
Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the first filtration/heating cycle turns on pump 1. With two pump models, an automatic
“blow-out” function also activates pump 2 for a period of one minute to flush all lines. Then, after one minute, pump 2 turns off and pump 1 continues to operate for the duration of the cycle.
Note: This function only occurs during the first filtration/heating cycle each day.
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters: pH
With CLEARRAY®
7.4-7.6
Without CLEARRAY®
7.4-7.6
Free Chlorine
Free Bromine no less than 1.0 ppm 3.0-4.0 ppm no less than 2.0 ppm 2.0-4.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity 100-150 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm
100-150 ppm
150-250 ppm
IMPORTANT: CLEARRAY® Water Purification System is factory installed. If the CLEAR RAY® system is altered or is not operating efficiently then follow the “without CLEAR RAY®” water chemistry parameters as defined by the
Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. CLEAR RAY® requires an annual bulb replacement to properly sanitize your water.
! TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! Always maintain your spas filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer page
38 “Water Quality Maintenance” for additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water filtration system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all times, you should clean the filter cartridge once a month, or earlier as necessary. See page
32 for detailed filter cartridge cleaning/replacement instructions.
Required Water Replacement
! TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! You should replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a number of variables including frequency of use, number of users, and attention paid to water quality maintenance. You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water, even though the key water balance measurements are
all within the proper parameters. See page 38 for additional information.

3.3 Important CSA Safety Instructions (Canada Only)
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding or the symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment (*IEC Publication
417, Symbol 5019).
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/ compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG
(10 mm²).
4. All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).
5. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
3.4 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Jacuzzi spa is equipped with a “state-of-the-art” equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must be installed properly to ensure dependable usage. Please contact your local Jacuzzi dealer or local building department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi spas are equipped with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided on the surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door (Figure
B, page 15) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point
and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to insure installation conforms to local building codes.
8
J-200
4.0 Choosing A Location
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times.
We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above.
!
WARNING: For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main
structural support, consult a professional Structural
Engineer with experience in this type of application.
The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side cabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on the side with the equipment bay.
CAUTION:
If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area, proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use considerable amounts of
moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces, surroundings, and equipment.
9
J-200
4.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you take into consideration:
• The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather).
• The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).
• The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
• A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
• The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
• For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
• In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your outdoor installation to provide full access to the entire spa. Please take this into consideration when placing the spa in a deck or enclosed by a surrounding.
• Consider locating your spa away from any reflective surface or glass to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt.
• Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat on the intended foundation.
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before installing a spa indoors:
!
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of filters and water chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building contractor to determine your specific needs if installing your hot tub indoors.
• Proper Foundation: Consult a Structural Engineer when considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa
the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into the main structural support, you should consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
10
J-200
• Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place
measures to sufficiently handle excessive water spillage. Be sure the flooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage and can handle the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to make provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet or moist so all flooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
• Proper Ventilation: Proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air
associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing mold and mildew over time which can damage certain surfaces and/ or surroundings.
• Sufficient Access: In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide full access to the entire spa.
• Warranty: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any improper installation not in accordance to local codes or authorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state or city building ordinances.
• Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat on the intended foundation.

8.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that step.
1. Prepare The Spa For Filling
• Clear all debris from the spa. (Although the spa shell has been polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with a specially formulated spa cleaner.) Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for additional information prior to filling spa.
• Remove filter cover, then remove filter cartridge as outlined in
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket.
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.
Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely
“hard,” it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive to metal components.
•
!
WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
DISEASE.
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments. Fill until water covers all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest headrest. (DO NOT OVERFILL!)
IMPORTANT: Always fill your spa through the filter bucket after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the pumps, preventing the pumps from circulating water. Remove the hose and replace the filter cartridge. Note: DO NOT overtighten filter cartridge, finger tight only!
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up
sequence (Sec. 10.0, page 25). The heater and filter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel LED flashes water temperature and “COL” or “ICE” this is normal, refer to
page 43 for additional information.
Note: “COL” and “ICE” will only appear when the spa is in Economy mode.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when adding start-up chemicals in step 5.

17
J-200
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized
Jacuzzi dealer. See Section 13.0 “Water Quality Maintenance” (page
!
WARNING: RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.
Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone.
Use chemicals according to the vendors instructions. Always store chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from and out of reach of children.
6. Establish A Stable Sanitizer Reading
Establish a stable sanitizer reading of no less than 1.0 ppm free chlorine or 2.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized, perform the decontamination procedure steps
9-15 on the following page.
Note: The “decontamination procedure” steps 9-16 should also be used
after the spa has been “Winterized” (Section 12.7, page 37) or has
been sitting without power for an extended period.
7. Set Spa To Heat
To warm spa water to a comfortable temperature, follow these steps:
• The LED display on the control panel displays the actual temperature of the spa water. Press either the
COOLER ( ) or WARMER ( ) button once to display the “set” temperature for 5 seconds. If you want the water to heat to a different temperature, simply press COOLER ( ) or WARMER ( ) within 5 seconds. The set temperature increases or decreases by one degree each time one of these buttons is pressed.
• The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the thermostat setting is achieved.
Important Heater Details:
• The maximum water temperature setting for your spa is 104°F
(40°C) and the minimum setting is 65°F (18°C).
• For North America spas connected to a 40 amp service, jets pump
#1 must be set to low speed and jets pump #2 must be turned off to operate the heater.
• For Export spas connected to a 20 amp service, jets pump #1 must be set to low speed and jets pump #2 must be turned off to operate the heater.
• Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating process. This will only result in a higher ultimate temperature.
• The heater operates until the water reaches the programmed “set temperature,” then turns off. The heater will reactivate after the water cools to approximately 1.5° below the set temperature.
18
J-200
8. Place Cover On Spa
• Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the spa is not in use will reduce the time required for heating, thereby minimizing operating costs.
• The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the starting water temperature.
!
DANGER:
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Check water temperature carefully before entering hot tub!
Excessive water temperature can cause burns, welts and body temperature to rise, hyperthermia (over-heating).
Decontamination Procedure (Steps 9-16)
Steps 9-16 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable after performing steps 1-6 above. Disregard steps 9-15 below if sanitizer levels remain stable after performing steps 1-6 above (refer to the inside cover of the manual).
9. Add 2.5 ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons of water.
Refer to the table below for approximate water fill volume by model.
!
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for any reason! These chemicals may damage components within your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

10.0 Operating Instructions
The spa control system has automatic functions that operate upon start-up and normal operation to protect the system. Upon power up, the readout displays the following information:
1. Control panel displays current software release then;
2. Control panel displays “888” and all indicator LEDs are lit, permitting visual inspection of all display segments and indicator lights for proper operation.
3. After the initial start-up sequence ends, the actual water temperature is displayed. If water temperature at this time is less than the factory default temperature setting of 100°F (38°C) and the spa is set to either standard filtration/heating mode (Sections 11.1-11.2, page
28), the heater will turn on and run until the water temperature
rises to the factory setting, then turn off.
Note: It is common for the heater to turn on after the spa is first filled because tap water is often very cold.
10.1 Setting Water Temperature
The spa’s thermostat provides optimum control of water temperature. The temperature set point (set temperature) can be adjusted from 65-104°F (18-40°C). To raise the set temperature, press the WARMER ( ) button. To lower the set temperature, press the
COOLER ( ) button. The first press of either

10.6 Selecting Desired Massage Action
For models that incorporate a massage selector valve
(Diverter Jet for J-210, Figure A) that allows you to customize the massage and performance by diverting water between various jet systems within the spa. Simply turn valve to positions A, B or C to divert water pressure to various jet groups.
Note: The valve is intended to operate in positions A
B
B
A
C
A
C
(Combo), B, or C for optimum performance. It is considered normal for sound levels within the valve to increase be-
Figure A tween these positions due to the large amounts of water flowing through it. For optimum filtration benefits, always leave this valve in position A when the spa is covered and select positions B or C for maximum jet performance during spa use.
10.7 Air Controls
Certain jet systems have their own air control. Each control introduces air into the water lines that supply that specific jet group.
Simply turn the air control of choice counterclockwise to open or clockwise to close.
Note: To minimize heat loss, all air controls should be closed when the spa is not in use. Certain jets may not draw air when jets pump 1 is running in low speed; this is considered normal.
10.8 Optional BLUEWAVE® Spa Stereo System (J-215
to J-280)
Spas equipped with the optional Jacuzzi audio system offer enhanced enjoyment. These models include a high-quality
AUX/Bluetooth stereo receiver with four high-quality marine speakers for unsurpassed sound quality and long-life.
Note: All operations for the BLUEWAVE system are controlled via a connected Bluetooth or Auxiliary device.
27
J-200
11.0 Automatic Filtration Cycles
The control system activates a programmable “Standard” or “Economy” filtration cycle to remove debris from your spa. These cycles use the low speed jets pump 1 and filter cartridge to quickly clear “skim” the water of debris and minimize their “bathtub ring” affect while the spa is in use or during a programmed filter cycle. Apart from their filtration benefit, each filtration mode also effects the operation of the spa heater.
11.1 Standard Filtration/Heating Modes
Standard filtration/heating modes (F1-F3) are typically selected by customers in cold climates where heat up times are extended due to lower ambient temperatures. In these modes, the low-speed pump and heater will come on as necessary to maintain the set temperature
24 hours a day. The low speed pump will run continuously during the filtration/heating cycles with the heater coming on as necessary to maintain the set temperature.
11.2 Economy Filtration/Heating Modes (All Models)
Economy filtration/heating modes (F4-F6) are typically selected by customers in warm climates where heat up times are minimized due to higher ambient temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the set temperature only during a programmed filtration/ heating cycle. The heater will turn on only when there is a heat call during a programmed filtration/heating cycle.
Note: These modes can be used to conserve energy while on vacation or out of town for several weeks since heater operation is minimized.
During such times, you can also minimize the spa set temperature to maximize energy savings!
11.3 Lock Modes - L1-L3 (All Models)
These modes are designed for use during spa service or to prevent unauthorized use.
11.4 Selecting The Filtration/Heating Mode
Press and hold both control panel WARMER ( ) and COOLER ( ) buttons at the same time, then release. Then press either WARMER

(Heater automatically turns on during any heat call while in any Standard mode).
F1 4 hours of filtration/heating per day (one 2-hour cycle every 12 hours).
F2 6 hours of filtration/heating per day (one 2-hour cycle every 8 hours).
F3 8 hours of filtration/heating per day (one 2-hour cycle every 6 hours). Factory default.
Economy Filtration/Heating Modes (F4-F6)
(Heater can only turn on during an active filter cycle while in any Economy mode).
F4 4 hours of filtration/heating per day (one 2-hour cycle every 12 hours).
F5 6 hours of filtration/heating per day (one 2-hour cycle every 8 hours).
F6 8 hours of filtration/heating per day (one 2-hour cycle every 6 hours).
Lock Modes (L1-L3)
(When in a lock mode the display will flash between the temperature and the Lock mode number)
L1 Lock Out (disables all spa functions to permit filter cleaning).
Note: The spa should not be left in this lock mode for an extended period of time. Especially in colder climates or when freezing conditions exist.
L2 Lock Mode (disables the jets and light buttons to prevent unauthorized use of spa). Filtration/heating cycle will continue to operate as programmed in this mode. The temperature display flashes when this function is enabled. Example: the “F3” filtration/ heating cycle was enabled prior to choosing lock mode. The spa continues to perform the “F3” cycle until lock mode is canceled, allowing another cycle to be selected.
L3 Lock Mode (disables the temperature up and down buttons to prevent unauthorized temperature adjustments). Filtration/heating cycle will continue to operate as programmed in this mode. The jets and lights buttons will still continue to operate as normal. The temperature display flashes when this function is enabled.
Note: To exit a Lock Mode you will need to re-enter the filtration/heating modes and select a cycle from F1-F6.

12.1 Cleaning The Filters
TO DECREASE DROWNING OR ENTRAPMENT, ALWAYS TURN
POWER TO SPA OFF BEFORE CLEANING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE!
J-210/J-215/J-225/J-235/J-245/J-275 Models:
These model spas are equipped with a skimmer basket and filter cartridge located in the skimmer/filter well. Filtering is accomplished when jets pump #1 turns on in low speed initiating water flow through the skimmer basket and polyester mesh filter cartridge. As this happens, suspended particles become trapped on the filter’s surface. To ensure optimum performance, it is necessary to remove and clean the skimmer basket once a week and filter cartridge once a month or sooner, depending on usage and water quality.
To Clean Filter:
1. Turn off power to the spa at the home’s breaker panel or select the
L1 “Lock Out” mode (page 28) to disable all spa functions.
2. Remove the filter strainer lid assembly by rotating it
counterclockwise, Figure A (page 32).
3. Remove the filter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to unthread it from the filter wall fitting (Figure B). Then lift it straight up to remove from filter well (Figure C).
4. Using a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle, rinse debris from the filter pleats beginning at the top and working your way downward
(Figure D). Continue, one section at a time, until you have rinsed all of the filter’s pleats.

SPA SHELL SPA SHELL
SPA SHELL CARTRIDGE
To ensure optimum performance, clean skimmer basket and filter cartridge once a month or as necessary, depending on use.
J-210 models include filters on their footwell suction covers
(shown right) that prevent debris from entering the pump when operating. These filters must remain in place to protect the components from debris entrapment/damage. They should be cleaned every 2 months, or when weak pump performance is observed.
32
J-200
J-280 Models:
These model spas are equipped with a skimmer bag and one high performance pleated filter cartridge located under the filter cover. Debris are filtered by drawing water through the skimmer bag and filter cartridge when jets pump 1 is running a programmed filter cycle or when manually activated by spa use. Combined, both provide unsurpassed water quality by trapping surface oils and suspended particles. The filter cartridge should be cleaned once a month or as necessary, depending on use, for optimum performance.

J-200
12.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key water balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.
CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage to the spa’s components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit
breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until your spa has been refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment, see “WINTER-
IZING” (page 37). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not
leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps (actual drain may vary from one shown). Turn off power to spa at breaker.
1. Locate and remove the synthetic cabinet screws. The cabinet is located directly below the control panel.
2. Cut zip tie(s) and pull drain hose from equipment area (Figure A).
3. Hold drain hose above water line, then unthread drain cap (1) from hose using a counterclockwise rotation (Figure B). Place drain hose on ground to start drain, making sure to direct water away from spa. If equipped, turn valve (2) counterclockwise to open the valve
(Figure C).
4. After spa is drained, reinstall drain cap on drain hose fitting until finger tight! If equipped, turn valve (2) clockwise to close the valve. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
5. Coil drain hose up and place back inside the spa equipment bay (Fig. A).
6. Reinstall synthetic cabinet and screws, then refer
to the “Spa Fill Up Procedure” (page 17).

Drain location and appearance may vary.
12.3 Pillow Care
Remove and clean each headrest by gently grasping both ends in each hand and pulling upward to release each pillow “snap.” To reinstall, simply “snap” each pillow back into place. Clean as needed with soapy water using a cloth or soft-bristle brush. Always remove the pillows when
35
J-200 adding chemical shock treatment to the spa water. The pillows can be returned to the spa when the sanitizer reading is stable as recommended on the inside cover of the manual.
12.4 Cleaning The Spa Interior
To preserve the sheen of your spa’s surface, it is crucial that you avoid using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse chemical effect on the surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of a particular cleanser, consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. Regardless of the cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no soap residue is left on the surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the spa is refilled.
12.5 Cover Care and Maintenance
Certain hot tub covers distributed by Jacuzzi Hot Tubs have a vinyl or
PROLAST™/PROLAST™ Extreme encasement. This vinyl or PROLAST™/
PROLAST™ Extreme encasement also referred to as the cover “skin” is attractive and durable. Regular monthly cleaning and conditioning (vinyl) is strongly recommended and may increase the longevity of your cover.
A. To Clean and Care for the Cover
1. Use a garden hose to remove any debris.
2. Using a large sponge or soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap to gently scrub the top.
3. Rinse and clean and do not allow soap to dry on the cover. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover.
4. Please check with your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub Dealer for recommended cover care and conditioning products. Use non-petroleum based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple.
5. Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents. Do not use products that contain silicone or alcohol.
B. Additional Care and Maintenance Instructions:
1. Debris can accumulate on the spa cover. Removal of snow or other debris will help to avoid breakage of the foam cores.
2. Be sure to lock the cover straps to secure the cover from unwanted or accidental entry.
3. Do not place heavy objects on the vinyl.
4. Do not walk, sit or stand on the cover.
5. Do not drag or use the flaps/skirt or the cover lock straps to remove the cover.
6. Use only recommended cover lift systems.
7. Use only chemicals and cleaners recommended by Jacuzzi.
8. Remember to keep spa covered when not in use. Maintaining proper water levels assures efficient operation and efficient electrical usage.
9. Do not expose your spa to the sun for extended periods of time as
UV rays can damage the interior surface.
10. Use caution when removing cover. Before removing cover, assure all locks have been released to avoid lock breakage and or cover strap damage.
36
J-200
12.6 Maintaining The Synthetic Cabinet
Your new spa’s synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild soap solution.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any reason since this action may induce an electrical short in the spa’s electrical equipment.
12.7 Winterizing
Your Jacuzzi spa is designed to automatically protect itself against freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the electrical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme bitter cold weather, less than 32°F (0°C), choose the F3 “Standard” filtration/
heating mode to prevent freezing (page 28). If you do not intend to use
your spa or if there is a prolonged power outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important that all water be removed from the spa and equipment to protect against damage from freezing.
Expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, contact
your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by taking the following steps:
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO HOT TUB!
Follow the directions on page 35 for draining the spa.
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position
to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, page 27.
4. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the
plumbing lines to drain, pages 23 and 24.
5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use
6. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
7. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available to remove any remaining water from the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
8. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page
15). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and heater.
Note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
37
J-200
9. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEAR RAY® system and pull hose off of CLEAR RAY fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain. Then reinstall hose and clamp. Remove the cover of the CLEAR RAY system to access the UV bulb and quartz tube. Remove and store the UV bulb in a safe location. Remove and dry off the quartz tube then reinstall it.
Depending on the length of time, consider replacing the UV bulb when you resume use of your hot tub.
10. Re-install synthetic cabinet side panel and cover spa so that no casual moisture can enter into it.
Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions regarding winter use or winterizing.
12.8 Restarting Your Spa in Cold Weather
If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time in freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain sections of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water flow preventing the spa from operating properly and possibly damaging the equipment. We recommend you consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for guidance before attempting to re-start your spa under these conditions.
13.0 Water Quality Maintenance
To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality within specified limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the hot tub’s equipment. Doing so requires regular attention because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.
Procrastination in regard to water maintenance will result in poor and potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even damage to your hot tub investment. For specific guidance on maintaining water quality, consult your Authorized Jacuzzi dealer who can recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.
!
WARNING: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN WATER QUALITY
CAN RESULT IN:
• Increase risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments.
• Damage the equipment, components and spa shell, which are not covered under the hot tub’s warranty.
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub’s equipment bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated temperatures, this is where high voltage electronic devices are located. This area is not intended for storage of any kind.
38
J-200
13.1 pH Control pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which is alkaline and below which is acidic. In spa water, it is very important to maintain a slightly alkaline condition of 7.4 to 7.6. Problems become proportionately severe the further outside of this range the water gets.
A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the spa equipment. A high pH will cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling).
In addition, the ability of the sanitation agents to keep the spa clean is severely affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all spa water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as the sanitizer.
13.2 Sanitizing
To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the spa water, a sanitizer must be used regularly. Chlorine and bromine are the two most popular sanitizers used to date. Many other additives are available for your spa.
Some are necessary to compensate for out-of-balance water, some aid in cosmetic water treatment and others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. Your authorized Jacuzzi dealer can advise you on the use of these additives. When adding spa shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH balancing chemicals activate the jets pump(s) and leave the spa cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes. By doing this you will allow excessive chemical vapors to exit the spa, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.
!
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DROWNING
OR ENTRAPMENT!
Never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and animals!
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for any reason! These chemicals may damage components within your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash and void the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

15.2 Pump Does Not Operate But Light Does
Press the JETS 1 button:
1. If no water movement is detected, make sure power is going to the spa and check the water level. If it does not solve the problem, contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer or qualified service technician.
2. The main jets pump 1 operates but no water flows to jets. Check the following:
• Jets may all be closed in spa. Verify all jets are in the open “on”
position (Sec. 10.5, page 27).
• Pump may not be properly primed. This can happen after the spa is drained and refilled. Press the JETS 1 button on the control panel several times, never leaving the motor running for more than 5 to 10 seconds at a time. Turn power off and let the air out of spa plumbing
system by removing the filter cartridge (Sec. 12.1, page 32). Make
certain you reinstall the filter cartridge before turning on spa power and restarting the jets pump 1.
15.3 Poor Jet Action
1. Make sure jets are in the full open “on” position (page 27).
2. Press the JETS 1 button to make certain pump #1 is on.
3. Open all air controls to their full on position (counterclockwise).
4. Check for dirty filter. Clean, if necessary (Section 12.1, page 32).
15.4 Water is Too Hot
Reduce thermostat setting.
15.5 No Heat
1. Check thermostat setting.
2. Keep the spa cover in place while heating.
3. Check the settings to see if your spa is in economy filtration/heating
