General Operation Information
All bathtubs manufactured by Jacuzzi Luxury Bath are
designed for “ll and drain,” which means the bathtub
should be drained after each use and lled with fresh
water by the next bather. This is a health precaution,
as these bathtubs are not designed to hold water
English
continuously like pools or spas.
Luxury Whirlpool Bath
Two control panel types are available for the Luxury
Whirlpool series. Refer to details below:
J4 Luxury Electronic Control Panel:
•
Operational instructions for this panel is listed
below.
Optional J5 Luxury LCD Control Panel:
•
Operation instructions for this panel are outlined in
the supplemental guide provided in your warranty
pack. Refer to this document for complete operation
details (P/N GU47000).
Close the drain and ll the bathtub until water is at
least 1˝ to 2˝ (25mm to 51mm) above the highest jet
(see water line indicated in the illustration). Do not turn
on the whirlpool system at any time if the jets are not
completely immersed in water. Running the whirlpool
system when there is insufcient water in the bathtub
could result in water spraying outside the bath area.
Running the whirlpool system without water will damage
the recirculating pump.
When exiting the bathtub, the water level will drop
below the jets which could result in water being
sprayed out of the unit. To prevent this, you must
turn unit OFF before exiting bathtub.

Controlling Whirlpool Direction and Flow
Direction -
All Jacuzzi jets, except the rotating neck jets, can be driectionally
adjusted. To change the direction of the water ow, swivel the jet
nozzle to the desired angle. The jets can be directed individually
toward any location on your body to provide a hydromassage.
The jets can also be adjusted so that they all point in the same
direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) to circulate the water in
a circular motion around the bath, causing a total whirlpool effect.
Water Force -
Most Jacuzzi jets are designed for ow adjustment. For robust
action, increase the force of the ow by rotating the nozzle, or
face, to the left (counterclockwise). For a more gentle effect, or to
close off the jet, rotate the nozzle, or face, to the right (clockwise).
Closing one or more jets can increase the water force in the
remaining jets.
The rotating neck jets, and some AccuPro™ jets, cannot be
adjusted for water force.
Never run the whirlpool system with all the jets closed.

Purging the Whirlpool System
To remove accumulations of bathtub residue from the whirlpool system, it is recommended that a whirlpool bathtub be
cleaned at least twice a month. For best results, however, we recommend that you clean your whirlpool bathtub after
each use using, Systems Clean™, our exclusive two-part plumbing system cleaner made specically for whirlpool
bathtubs. Systems Clean™ is available through an authorized Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Distributor or by calling us direct
at 1-800-288-4002.
English
Bathtub Additives
Do not use oil or oil-based bathtub additives.
If you want to use any kind of bathtub additive, use only a small amount of low-foaming powder or crystal substance;
the whirlpool action intensies the foaming properties of soaps.
The use of certain bathtub oils, bubble baths, and bathtub additives may increase the level of accumulations of bathtub
residue in the whirlpool system and may cause false reading of the water level sensors. If excess accumulations
persist, you should discontinue use of these products.

Maintenance
To clean your bathtub, simply use a mild, nonabrasive liquid detergent solution. You can protect and restore the gloss
to a dulled acrylic surface by applying Meguiar’s #10 Mirror Glaze, a product specically designed for use on acrylic
nishes. If Meguiar’s is not available, use a ne grade automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of
automotive paste wax.
English
Never use abrasive household cleaners on any Jacuzzi Luxury Bath product.
Surface Repair
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color nish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. Restore the gloss using Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze or automotive paste wax. Major scratches and gouges
which penetrate the acrylic surface will require renishing. Call Jacuzzi Luxury Bath to nd a service agent in your area.
Spinning Jet Maintenance
If hair, or other types of debris, get caught in the bearings
of these jets, it could cause them to stop spinning. This
may require disassembly and removal.
To do this, simply grab the nozzle and pull it straight out
of the jet housing. The bearing casing will be attached to
the nozzle. These two items can be separated by holding
the casing and pushing the nozzle out from the rear of
the casing. After the cleaning is complete, reassemble
and reinstall.
Suction Cover/Strainer Maintenance
Clean the suction cover/strainer of hair and debris when
necessary.
Remove the center screw and detach the suction
1
cover.
Clean the cover by backushing debris from the holes.
2
Replace the suction cover immediately after cleaning.
3
When reinstalling, orient the cover/strainer with the
small notch at the bottom. The gasket must be inserted
into the groove of the cover/strainer before reinstalling
onto the suction tting.
Keep hair a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) away
from the suction tting at all times when the
whirlpool system is operating. Hair longer than
shoulder length should be secured close to the
head, or a bathing cap should be worn.
Do not operate the whirlpool system with the
suction cover/strainer removed!
It is a safety device and must always be in place on
the suction tting to minimize the potential hazard
of hair and body entrapment.
