OWNER’S MANUAL

2530-398B Rev B

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. An automatic “blow-out” function also activates pump 2 (if equipped) 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:

With CLEARRAY® Without CLEARRAY® pH

Free Chlorine

Free Bromine

Total Alkalinity

Calcium Hardness

7.4-7.6

no less than 1.0 ppm no less than 2.0 ppm

100-150 ppm

150-250 ppm

7.4-7.6

3.0-4.0 ppm

2.0-4.0 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 43

“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 both filter cartridges every month, or earlier as necessary. See page

36 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 43 for additional information.

3.3 Important Additional 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 mm 2 ).

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.

8

J-300

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 over time. 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 struc-

tural 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-300

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-300

• 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.

(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.

120/240 Volt Convertible Models

A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the included 10 feet (3m) power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO NOT

USE AN EXTENSION CORD as this could cause damage to the spa’s equipment due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this spa must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the power provided by the circuit.

6.0 Power Requirements

Jacuzzi spas are designed to provide optimum performance and flexibility of use when connected to the maximum electrical service listed below. Minor circuit board modifications can be performed to allow your new spa to accept an electrical service other than the factory operation setting.

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

Section 12.1 (page 36).

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 49 for additional information.

Note: “COL” 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.

18

J-300

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

43) 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 12.8, page 42) 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 American spas connected to a 40 amp service, jets pump

#1 and jets pump #2 must be turned off to operate the heater.

• For Export spas connected to a 20 amp service, jets pump #1 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.

19

J-300

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 (71 g) of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons (378

Liters) 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.

WARNING:

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

• To decrease the risk of injury, entrapment or drowning, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason, especially if while the cover is open and accessible to small children and animals!

• To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness

(e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water chemistry within 6 step parameters.

If you or other bathers experience such a condition, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

15. Establish a sanitizer reading no less than 1.0 ppm free chlorine or 2.0 ppm bromine, then allow the hot tub to set undisturbed for

8 hours. Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels are stable. If sanitizer levels are stable, your spa is ready for use.

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 are not stable at this time, it will be necessary to repeat this procedure in its entirety (steps 1-15) until stable sanitizer readings are achieved.

IMPORTANT: If the CLEARRAY® water purification system is removed from the hot tub or is not operating effectively follow the “without

CLEAR RAY®” water chemistry parameters as defined by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals.

16. After adequate sanitizer levels are achieved, close all spa air controls to maximize heat retention when spa is not in use.

These cycles allow the circulation pump to run for preset amounts of time per day, in addition to the normal operation. Should the circulation pump activate outside of a preset cycle (except for PF0 and PF6), e.g. when heating, that run time will reduce the length of the next cycle.

Note: To set a time for the primary filtration cycle to begin, simply turn power on to the spa two minutes prior to the desired time. You can also press the Warmer, Cooler and Jets Pump 1 buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to restart the spa once power has been provided.

No filtration

4 hours of filtration per day

8 hours of filtration per day ( default setting for J-335 to

J-385)




24 hours of filtration per day ( default setting for J-315

and J-325)

2 hours of filtration – 4 times per day

3 hours of filtration – 4 times per day

In extreme bitter cold weather we recommend you program the primary filtration cycle to run 24 hours. Refer to the "Win-

terizing" section on page 42.

A. Cleanup "Blow-Out" Cycle

This cycle is activated once every 24 hours in either Standard or

Economy mode. The Cleanup Cycle shall start before the first filtrations cycle. Pump 1 will activate for 1 minute and then shut off. Then Pump 2 will activate for 1 minute and then shut off.

B. For Models J335 to J385

Two minutes after power is applied to the spa, an automatic primary filtration cycles begins. The circulation pump is activated and set to run for 8 hours a day (factory default). The circulation pump draws water through the skimmer bag and one of two filter cartridges to effectively remove small debris in your spa. During the primary filtration cycle, the

29

J-300 circulation pump and CLEAR RAY are activated. The factory default setting is PF2. This setting is programmable.

Note: The circulation pump also supplies heated water to the spa when the heater turns on. Any time the circulation pump runs, e.g. when heating, outside of a programmed cycle (except for PF0 and PF6), that run time will reduce the length of the next cycle.

To remove larger debris missed by the primary filtration system, the control system can activate a secondary filtration system. These cycles utilize Jets Pump 1 and the second filter cartridge to quickly “skim” the water of large debris and minimize their “bath-tub ring” effect.

C. For Models J315 and J325

Your new spa includes a 24-hour primary filtration system, which filters the water continuously (factory default). The circulation pump draws water through the skimmer bag and one of the two filter cartridges to effectively remove small debris in your spa. The factory default setting is PF6. This setting should not be altered. Running the circulation pump less than the factory recommended time will result in issues with water quality maintenance. The 24-hour primary filtration system also supplies heated water to the spa when the heater turns on.

To remove larger debris missed by the 24-hour primary filtration system, you can program a secondary filtration system. The secondary filtration cycles use Jets Pump 1 and the second filter cartridge to quickly “skim” the water of large debris and minimize their “bath-tub ring” effect.

12.0 Spa Maintenance

Proper and regular maintenance of your spa will help it retain its beauty and performance. Your authorized Jacuzzi dealer can supply you with all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to accomplish this.

!

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

Your Jacuzzi spa is equipped with a skimmer bag and two high performance pleated filter cartridges located under the filter cover. The circulation pump drawing water through the skimmer bag and filter cartridge filters fine debris. Large debris is filtered by jets pump 1 drawing water through the skimmer bag and second filter cartridge during an automated Secondary Filtration Cycle or when jets pump 1 is manually activated during spa use. Combined, both filters 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.

36

J-300

An optional chemical feeder is available through your authorized Jacuzzi dealer that installs under the filter cap

(#2472-673). Always remove the chemical feeder cap and feeder (when used) during the filter cleaning process by turning the cap handle counterclockwise. Reinstall the cap and feeder back onto the filter cartridge after the filter cleaning process is complete. It is recommended that latex gloves be used to avoid touching the chemical feeder during the filter cleaning process.

Note: When used, the chemical feeder MUST remain on the circulation pump filter cartridge! This filter cartridge is the one with the grid across the wall fitting as shown (right).

Periodically, the filter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning followed by soaking the filter overnight in a plastic container filled with a solution of water and specially formulated filter cleanser available from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. The average life expectancy of each filter is approximately two years with proper care and water quality maintenance. Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.

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 42). 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:

1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.

2. Locate the drain valve on the front/lower plastic pan. Hold the larger (rear) body to prevent it from turning, then loosen and remove the front cap to expose the underlying male hose threads.

3. Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads.

4. Gently rotate the larger (rear) valve body 1/3 turn counterclockwise to unlock the drain valve.

5. Pull the larger (rear) body outward to open drain.

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. To Clean and Condition the ProEndure™ cover:

1. Brush off dirt, leaves and any loose debris.

2. Thoroughly hose down the cover.

3. Using a large sponge or a soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap

(such as woolite or dreft, no detergents) and scrub the cover. Allow the solution to soak in.

4. Rinse clean and do not allow soap to dry on cover. Continue to rinse until all the soap solution is removed. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover. The fabric dries quickly allow it to air. Do not apply heat or machine dry.

12.7 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.

12.8 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), program the primary filtration

cycle to run for 24 hours to prevent freezing (page 29).

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!

1. Turn off power to the spa.

2. Follow the directions on page 39 for draining the spa.

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(s) to the open position to allow the water in

the plumbing lines to drain, page 27.

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 foot well, 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

16). 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.

42

J-300

9. Loosen the hose clamp on the circulation pump intake behind the

control box (Figure A, page 16) and pull the hose off (twist hose

back and forth while pulling outward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose and clamp.

10. 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.

11. Reinstall 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.

12.9 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 restart 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

WILL:

• 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.

43

J-300

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.

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 pH. 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. The “Proclear Mineral Spa Clarifier” designed especially for your hot tub is a beneficial product for water maintenance.

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® (Ultraviolet) Water Purification System

CLEAR RAY Water Purification System is exclusive technology utilizing natural ultraviolet technology to eliminate waterborne bacteria, viruses, and algae in

WARNING!

DO NOT LOOK AT LIT BULB

SEVERE EYE DAMAGE

OR BLINDNESS CAN OCCUR 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. CLEAR RAY is plumbed inline with your filtration system. After the water is drawn from the pump, filter, and heater it is then directed though the CLEAR RAY system.

Water passes through an ultraviolet light energy that treats and disinfects the water. The water is then pumped back into the

120 - 230V 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 flow and the red indicating the system is properly working. CLEAR RAY is standard for all models.

Note: The CLEARRAY System only runs when the circulation pump is running and shuts off when either jets pump is manually activated during spa use. The system will remain off for 5 minutes after both jets pumps time out or are manually turned off, then resume operations if the circulation pump is programmed to run.

After a year the bulb must be replaced. If the UV timer has been programmed correctly a message will appear on the LED display when the time allotted has expired. In order to clear the “blb” message a new

UV bulb needs to be installed and the timer must be reset (page 33).

14.0 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 Summer Logic

When the actual spa water temperature reaches 2°F (1°C) above the set temperature, the spa goes into “summer logic.”

The circulation pump will turn off automatically, if running, to avoid adding additional heat to the water, eventually creating an overheat condition. This setting is not user-programmable.

Note: Summer logic does not take effect until the spa water temperature reaches 95°F (35°C). This condition is more likely in excessively hot weather. Remember, the spa’s ability to cool is directly affected by the ambient temperature. An excessively hot ambient temperature may prevent the spa from cooling down because it’s fully insulated construction is designed to retain heat and minimize operating costs.

14.2 Panel Displays COL

Cool Condition - Temperature has dropped 20°F (11°C) below the current set temperature. The circulation pump and the heater have been activated to bring the temperature 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.

14.3 Panel Displays ICE

Freeze Protection - A potential freeze condition has been detected. No action is required. Water temperature is below

55°F (12.78°C). No action is required. Jets Pump 1, Jets Pump 2 and the circulation pump will activate for 10 minutes, then turn off. Then the circulation pump and the heater will activate for 10 minutes. The two cycles shall repeat until the water temperature reaches 65°F (18.33°C).

See “Winterizing” (page 42).

14.4 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.

14.5 Panel Displays SN2

Open or shorted sensor (heater disabled). The temperature sensor is not functioning. Contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer or qualified service technician.

J-300

14.6 Panel Displays BLB

UV bulb needs to be replaced. The message will flash between “blb” and the water temperature. The countdown

timer for the UV bulb needs to be reset (page 33). A new UV bulb can

be purchased from a local Jacuzzi dealer.

14.7 Panel Flashes FL1 or FL2

A flashing “FL1” display means the flow switch is malfunctioning open, the filter cartridge is excessively dirty or an “air lock” condition has occurred at the circulation pump intake. A flashing “FL2” display means the flow switch is malfunctioning closed. In either case, the spa heater will deactivate and jets pump #1 may also deactivate. To correct condition perform the following:

1. Verify water level is above all jets but below lowest pillow. Add water if necessary.

2. Check for clogged or dirty filter cartridge (Sec. 12.1, page 36).

3. Purge “air lock” from circulation pump intake by removing filter cartridge. Hold your garden hose over the filter cartridge wall fitting while using a rag as a seal around hose end. Ask a helper to turn on water for 30 seconds, then turn off. Reinstall filter cartridge and

check spa (Sec. 12.1, page 36).

4. If the circulation pump is not running, turn power off at the main breaker, then turn power back on. This will reset the circulation pump priming cycle. Once the pump is primed, the error should clear.

5. If problem persists, contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.

14.8 Panel Displays OH

15.0 Troubleshooting Procedures

In the event your Jacuzzi spa is not working the way it should, please first review all the installation and operating instructions in this manual and check for messages on the panel display. If you are still not satisfied it is working properly, please follow the appropriate troubleshooting instructions below. Always insist on genuine Jacuzzi replacement parts.

Note: If any of the supply cords to accessories are damaged, they must be replaced by authorized service personnel. Contact your authorized

Jacuzzi dealer or qualified service technician.

15.1 None of the Components Operate (e.g. Pump, Light)

Check the following:

1. Is there power to the spa?

2. Is the household circuit breaker tripped?

3. Contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer or qualified service technician.

15.2 Pump Does Not Operate

Press the JETS 1 button. If no water movement is detected, make sure power is going to the spa and check the water level. If this does not solve the problem, contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer or qualified service technician. The main jets pump 1 operates but no water flows to jets.

Check the following:

1. Jets may all be closed. Verify all jets are in the open “on” position

(Sec. 10.5, page 26).

2. 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

51

J-300 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 36). Make

certain you reinstall the filter cartridge before turning on spa power and restarting the jets pump 1.

15.3 Poor Jet Action

• Make sure all jets are in the full open “on” position (page 26).

• Press the JETS 1 button to make certain pump #1 is on.

• Verify all air controls are in the “on” position by pressing down on

their Jacuzzi Logo (page 27).

• Check for dirty filter. Clean, if necessary (Section 12.1, page 36).

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 mode (page 33).

Should checking the above steps fail to correct the problem, please call your Jacuzzi Hot Tub 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.

Your input as a Jacuzzi spa owner is a cherished part of this process. If you have any comments or suggestions, or if you wish to be informed on any new products for your spa, please write to us.

CONGRATULATIONS on your good taste and welcome to the happiest and most relaxed family in the world!
