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
five-minute “blow-out” function also activates pump 2 for a period of five
minutes to flush all lines. Then, after five minutes, 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:
With CLEARRAY®
Without CLEARRAY®
pH
7.4-7.6
7.4-7.6
Free Chlorine
no less than 1.0 ppm
3.0-4.0 ppm
Free Bromine
no less than 2.0 ppm
2.0-4.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity
100-120 ppm
100-120 ppm
Calcium Hardness
150-250 ppm
150-250 ppm
IMPORTANT: CLEARRAY® Water Purification System is factory installed. If
the CLEARRAY® system is altered or is not operating efficiently then follow
the “without CLEARRAY®” water chemistry parameters as defined by the
Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. CLEARRAY® 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
39 “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 39 for additional information.

Important Spa Owner Information
Your Jacuzzi J-200 Collection spa is constructed to the highest standards
and is capable of providing many years of trouble-free use. However,
because heat retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for
efficient operation, an uncovered spa surface and wall fittings directly
exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period are
subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by exposing the spa
to this abuse is not covered under warranty. We recommend that you
always keep the spa full of water when it is exposed to direct sunlight
and that you keep the Jacuzzi premium insulating cover in place at
all times when the spa is not in use. Read and carefully follow the
requirements for your spa’s support base found in Section 4.0 titled,
“Choosing A Location” (page 9).
Jacuzzi constantly strives to offer the finest spas available,
therefore modifications and enhancements may be made which
affect the specifications, illustrations and/or instructions contained
herein.

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 16) 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.

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.

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:
!
•
10
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.

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.
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 insure
dependable usage. Please contact your 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 16) 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 this spa, check with the local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.

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
Section 12.1 (page 32).
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 either
pump, preventing the pump 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 45 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.
1
2
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
39) for general guidance.
!
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 38) 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.

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

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
( ) or COOLER ( ) button to select either filtration/heating mode or
lock mode as outlined below.
11.5
Filtration Modes for Spas
During the filtration/heating cycle the Jets pump 1 low speed will activate.
To set a time for the first filtration/heating cycle, simply turn power on to
the spa two minutes prior to the desired time. Example: If you desire your
first filtration/heating cycle to begin at 10:00 AM turn off power to the spa
and turn it back on again at 9:58 AM. You can also press the Warmer,
Cooler and Jets Pump 1 buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to restart
the spa.
Note: Start time is approximate and may vary slightly from day to day.
28
J-200
With two pump models, an automatic five-minute “blow-out” function also
activates pump 2 for a period of five minutes to flush all lines. Then, after
five minutes, 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.
Standard Filtration/Heating Modes (F1-F3)
(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).
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. *Due to
a difference in software this feature is not available for all models.
Note: To exit a Lock Mode you will need to re-enter the filtration/heating
modes and select a cycle from F1-F6.

DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING BY
ENTRAPMENT!
Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from
suction fittings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid
entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
Never use the spa unless all suction guards, filter, filter lid, or
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
Never operate or use the spa if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer
assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is
missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center for
service.
The suction fittings and suction covers in this spa are sized
to match the specific water flow created by the pump(s). If it
is necessary to replace the suction fittings, suction covers or
pump(s), be sure that the flow rates are compatible and are in
compliance with the VGB Safety Act, page 2.
Never replace a suction fitting or suction cover with one rated less
than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. Using
improper suction fittings or suction covers can create a body or
hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or
severe injury.
Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair,
Limb, Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical
Entrapment, page 6.
12.1
Cleaning The Filters
TO DECREASE DROWNING OR ENTRAPMENT, ALWAYS TURN
POWER TO SPA OFF BEFORE CLEANING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE!
J-210/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 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 33).
32
J-200
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.

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.
33
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 needed for optimum
performance.

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 “WINTERIZING” (page 38). 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 door
screws and door. The door 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 door and screws, then
refer to the “Spa Fill Up Procedure” (page 17).

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
adding chemical shock treatment to the spa water. The pillows can be
36
J-200
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
Vinyl Cover Care and Maintenance
Your Jacuzzi cover has a vinyl encasement. This vinyl encasement is
attractive and durable. Monthly cleaning and conditioning is strongly
recommended to maintain and increase the longevity of your cover.
A. To Clean and Condition the Vinyl Cover
1. Use a garden hose to loosen debris and dirt.
2. Using a large sponge or a soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap
and scrub the vinyl top. Rinse clean and do not allow soap to dry on
cover. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover.
3. Please check with your Jacuzzi Dealer for recommended cover
care and conditioning products. Condition using non-petroleum
based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple and threads/stitching
from drying out. Do not use 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.
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.
37
J-200
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 36 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, see page 26.
4. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the
plumbing lines to drain, see page 23 and 24.
5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use
of the spa, page 27.
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.
9. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEARRAY® system and pull hose
off of CLEARRAY fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling
downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain. Then reinstall hose
38
J-200
and clamp. Remove the cover of the CLEARRAY 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.
39
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.

13.3
CLEARRAY® Water Purification System
CLEARRAY Water Purification System is exclusive
technology utilizing natural ultraviolet technology to
eliminate waterborne bacteria, viruses, and algae in
portable spas. The ultraviolet light otherwise known as
UV-C or germicidal light inactivates the microorganisms
disrupting the DNA so that it cannot reproduce and is
considered lifeless. CLEARRAY is plumbed in-line with your
filtration system. After the water is drawn from the pump, filter,
and heater it is then directed though the CLEARRAY system.
Water passes through an ultraviolet light energy that treats and
disinfects the water. The water is then pumped back into the
spa giving you crystal clear water instantly. The system has a
ballast that is the power supply for the purification system; it has two LED
indicator lights the green indicating incoming power and the red

7
6
grasp the black seal ring; slowly and carefully
remove the quartz tube.
Figure 6
7. Now you are ready to clean or replace the quartz tube (2).
For the cleaning of the quartz tube (2), follow steps 8 and 9 then
proceed to step 10. For replacing of the quartz tube (2), skip steps 8
and 9 and proceed to step 10.
8. Cleaning quartz tube: Clean the quartz tube by wiping until clear
using a paper towel or a dry cotton cloth. If needed a household tub
and shower lime removal product can be used.
!
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can
scratch the quartz tube surface.
9. Rinse the quartz tube with clean water to completely remove any
cleaning products that were used in step 4.
10. Replacing quartz tube: You will notice that the new quartz tube
does not have a black cushion on the domed end as the old quartz
tube does. This is normal as the cushion was provided with the
original quartz tube to protect it from breakage during transportation.
Install the black seal ring (13) over the opened end of the quartz
tube. Place the new quartz tube (2) into the water chamber (1) with
the domed end first making sure it is inserted and seated inside the
quartz end holder. Only a small portion will be exposed when it is
seated correctly.

J-200
14. System Test 1: Assure there is no water dripping from the seal
compression nut (7). If water is visible, STOP and tighten the
compression nut (7) using a pair of channel lock pliers to a maximum
of 1/4 turn. If that does not fix the leak, then repeat quartz tube
maintenance process from step 1 through step 13. Make sure there
is no water leaking before proceeding to step 15.
15. System Test 2: Reconnect the CLEARRAY System to the controller.
Turn breaker back ON. Turn on the pump to circulate the water
through the CLEARRAY System. Wait for 5 minutes and assure no
water is dripping. If water is visible, STOP, fix the leak by repeating
quartz tube maintenance process from step 1 through step 14. Make
sure there is no water visible and turn the pump and breaker
OFF, disconnect the CLEARRAY System to the controller
BEFORE proceeding to step 16.
16. Reconnect the bulb socket (5) to the new UV bulb (4) make sure you
use the latex glove provided when handling the UV bulb.
Note: Align pins on UV bulb (4) to the receptacle holes on the bulb
socket (5) before inserting the pins completely into socket holes. Failure
to do so will damage the UV bulb.
!
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW UV LAMP WITH
YOUR BARE HAND. Oil on your skin will cause hot spot on
the UV bulb and shorten the life of your UV bulb. Use the
provided latex glove to handle the UV bulb.
17. Slide the new UV bulb (4) back inside the quartz tube, Figure 3.
18. Reinstall the black bulb boot (8) back over the quartz seal
compression nut (7).
19. Reinstall the enclosure cover (10) with gasket (9) and secure with
the screws.
20. Reconnect the CLEARRAY System to the controller and turn on the
power to the spa.
21. Properly dispose of the old UV bulb.
!
WARNING: This CLEARRAY System includes a UV bulb,
which contains mercury. Dispose of the bulb in accordance
with disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
22. Once power is activated you can check the ballast
(12), Figure 7, to see if the CLEARRAY System
is functioning. A solid green light indicates that the
CLEARRAY System is being provided power and
should always be on. A solid red light indicates that
UV bulb is activated.

Error Conditions/Error Messages
Your spa has a self-diagnostic control system. The system will
automatically display the following if a problem is detected. Always
insist on genuine Jacuzzi replacement parts.
14.1
Panel Displays COL
Cool Condition - Temperature has dropped 20°F (11°C)
below the current set temperature. Jets pump 1 and the
heater have been activated to bring the temperature to within 15°F (8°C)
of the set temperature. No corrective action is required!
Note: This condition is common during first time fill ups or during refills
since tap water is often very cold. “COL” will only appear when the spa is
in Economy mode.
14.2
Panel Displays ICE
Freeze Protection - A potential freeze condition has been
detected. No action is required. Jets pump and heater will
operate to circulate and warm water through the plumbing until spa is out
of DANGER. See “Winterizing” (page 38).
Note: “ICE” will only appear when the spa is in Economy mode.
14.3
Panel Displays SN1
Open sensor (heater is disabled) or shorted sensor (spa is
deactivated). The high-limit temperature sensor is not
functioning. Contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer or qualified service
technician.
14.4
Panel Displays SN2
Open or shorted sensor (heater disabled). The temperature
sensor is not functioning. Contact your authorized Jacuzzi
dealer or qualified service technician.
14.5
Panel Flashes FL1 or FL2
A flashing “FL1” display means the pressure switch is
not closed when the jets pump 1 is activated. Proper water
flow is inhibited or the pressure switch has malfunctioned. A
flashing “FL2” display means the pressure switch is malfunctioning
closed. In either case, the heater is deactivated. To correct condition,
perform to the following:
1. Verify water level is one inch below lowest pillow. Add water if
necessary.
2. Check for clogged or dirty filter cartridge (Sec. 12.1, page 32).

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
mode (page 28).
Should checking the above steps fail to correct the problem, please call
your dealer so that they may arrange service. We build the best spas in
the industry. Nonetheless, we are always striving to improve the quality
and features of our products.
