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 rst 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
Your new spa is equipped with an automated “clean-up” cycle that clears all
plumbing lines daily to promote maximum water sanitation. Each day at 12:00
PM (noon), each pump will activate and run for one minute. If either pump
has just nished a 20 minute time out, it will not automatically activate for the
clean-up cycle.
Note: Turning off the corresponding jets pump that is running can deactivate the
feature.
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 100-150 ppm 100-150 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm 150-250 ppm
IMPORTANT: CLEARRAY® Water Purication System is factory installed. If
the CLEARRAY® system is altered or is not operating efciently then follow
the “without CLEARRAY®” water chemistry parameters as dened 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 lter 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 ltration system that provides
unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all times, you should
clean the lter cartridge once a month, or earlier as necessary. See page 37 for
detailed lter cartridge cleaning/replacement instructions.

1.0 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
efcient operation, an uncovered spa surface and wall ttings 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 53).

3.0 Important Safety Instructions for all Spa Owners
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specications
outlined in the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act” (VGB
Safety Act). When installing and using this spa, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including:
!
1.
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!
• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access
by children.
• To avoid accidents, ensure that children do not use this spa unless
supervised at all times. Adult supervision is a critical safety factor in
preventing children from drowning.
• Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the spa cover when not
in use. This will help discourage unsupervised children from entering
the spa. Keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.
• There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual
locks will prevent access to the spa.
!
2.
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!
• Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from
suction ttings, 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, lter, lter lid, or
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
• Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter 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 ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match
the specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to
replace the suction ttings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that
the ow rates are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB
Safety Act.
• Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated less
than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using improper
suction ttings or suction covers can create a body or hair suction
entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe injury.
!
3.
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION!

3.2 Hyperthermia
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia (overheating). The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in spas. A description of the causes, symptoms, and effects
of hyperthermia are as follows.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F
(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy
(fatigue), and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The
effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending hazard;
• Failure to perceive heat;
• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
• Physical inability to exit spa;
• Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
• Unconsciousness and DANGER of drowning.
A Warning Sign is provided in your warranty packet. Please install at
a location near your spa, where it is visible to users of the spa. For
additional or replacement Warning Signs please contact your local
Jacuzzi dealer and reference item number #6530-082.

3.3 Important Safety Instructions
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 eld 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.
8
J-200
4.0 Choosing A Location
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests
be smooth, at, 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 specically 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, overow and other casual water to ood the
equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas
which will be recessed into a oor 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
specically 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 reective surface or glass
to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt.
• Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit at
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 lters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
!
risk of contracting a waterborne
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect
or building contractor to determine your specic 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 specically tied
into the main structural support, you should consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
illness (e.g. an infection,
that could be

• Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place
measures to sufciently handle excessive water spillage. Be
sure the ooring 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 ooring 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.
• Sufcient 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 at
on the intended foundation.

5.0 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.
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 foot (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 insufcient 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.

8.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that
step. Make sure all drains are closed before you begin, page 40.
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 lling spa.
• If using the primary lter inlet to ll, remove lter cover, then remove
lter cartridge as outlined in Section 12.1 (page 37).
IMPORTANT: In most cases, lling the spa by placing the hose in
the footwell will not create an airlock, page 51. If you experience
an airlock we recommend lling by placing the end of your garden
hose into the primary lter inlet, page 37.
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into the one of the following
primary lter inlet or footwell.
!
•
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of
WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
DISEASE.
contracting a waterborne
and/or respiratory ailments
illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus)
. Fill until water covers all jets but does not
touch the bottom of the lowest headrest. (DO NOT OVERFILL!)
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.
Never ll with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely
“hard,” it is preferable to ll 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.
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up
sequence (Sec. 10.0, page 26). The heater and lter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel
ashes water temperature and “COL” or “ICE” this is normal, refer to
page 48 for additional information.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when
1
adding start-up chemicals in step 5.
18
2
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
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.
7. Set Spa To Heat
To warm spa water to a comfortable temperature, follow
these steps:
• The LCD 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 1°F (0.5°C) 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.
• 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 2°F (1°C) below the set temperature.
19
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 9-15)
Steps 9-15 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).
Note: The “decontamination procedure” steps 9-15 should also be used
after the spa has been “Winterized” (Section 12.7, page 42) or has
been sitting without power for an extended period.
9. Add 2.5 ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons of water.
Refer to the table below for approximate water ll volume by model.
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub
!
for any reason! These chemicals may damage components
within your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash,
and void the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

10.5 Selecting Desired Massage Action
For models that incorporate a massage selector valve
(Diverter Jet for J-210, Figure A) that allows you to
customize the massage and performance by diverting
water between various jet systems within the spa. Simply
turn valve to positions A, B or C to divert water pressure
to various jet groups.
Note: The valve is intended to operate in positions A
B C
(Combo), B, or C for optimum performance. It is considered normal for sound levels within the valve to increase be-
tween these positions due to the large amounts of water owing through
it. For optimum ltration benets, always leave this valve in position A
when the spa is covered and select positions B or C for maximum jet performance during spa use.
10.6 Air Controls
Certain jet systems have their own air control. Each control
introduces air into the water lines that supply that specic jet group.
Simply turn the air control of choice counterclockwise to open or
clockwise to close.
Note: To minimize heat loss, all air controls should be closed when the
spa is not in use. Certain jets may not draw air when jets pump 1 is
running in low speed; this is considered normal.

DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING BY
!
ENTRAPMENT!
• Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from
suction ttings, 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, lter, lter lid, or
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
• Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter 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 ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized
to match the specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it
is necessary to replace the suction ttings, suction covers or
pump(s), be sure that the ow rates are compatible and are in
compliance with the VGB Safety Act, page 2.
• Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated less
than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using
improper suction ttings 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-215/J-225/J-235/J-245/J-275 Models:
These model spas are equipped with a skimmer basket and lter
cartridge located in the skimmer/lter well. Filtering is accomplished
when jets pump #1 turns on in low speed initiating water ow through
the skimmer basket and polyester mesh lter cartridge. As this happens,
suspended particles become trapped on the lter’s surface. To ensure
optimum performance, it is necessary to remove and clean the skimmer
basket once a week and lter cartridge once a month or sooner,
depending on usage and water quality.
To Clean Filter:
1. Turn off power to the spa at the home’s breaker panel or select the
“SVL” (“SERVICE LOCK”) mode (page 35) to disable all spa
functions.
2. Remove the lter strainer lid assembly by rotating it
counterclockwise, Figure A.
3. Remove the lter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to
unthread it from the lter wall tting (Figure B). Then lift it straight up
to remove from lter well (Figure C).
4. Using a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle, rinse debris from
the lter 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 lter’s pleats.

To ensure optimum performance, clean skimmer basket and lter
cartridge once a month or as necessary, depending on use.
J-210 models include lters on their footwell suction covers
(shown right) that prevent debris from entering the pump
when operating. These lters 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.
37
J-200
J-280 Models:
These model spas are equipped with a skimmer bag and one high
performance pleated lter cartridge located under the lter cover. Debris
are ltered by drawing water through the skimmer bag and lter cartridge
when jets pump 1 is running a programmed lter cycle or when manually
activated by spa use. Combined, both provide unsurpassed water quality
by trapping surface oils and suspended particles. The lter cartridge
should be cleaned once a month or as necessary, depending on use, for
optimum performance.
J-280 Models:
Refer to steps below for complete lter cleaning/replacement
instructions.

illustrated followed by soaking the lter overnight in a plastic container
lled with a solution of water and specially formulated lter cleanser
available from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. The average life
expectancy of each lter is approximately two years with proper care and
water quality maintenance. Replacement cartridges may be purchased
from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.

J-200
12.2 Draining and Relling
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
yourspahasbeenrelled.
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 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 (actual
drain may vary from one shown). Turn off power to
spa at breaker.
1. Locate and remove the synthetic cabinet
screws. The cabinet is located directly below
the control panel.
2. Cut zip tie(s) and pull drain hose from
equipment area (Figure A).
3. Hold drain hose above water line, then unthread
drain cap (1) from hose using a counterclockwise
rotation (Figure B). Place drain hose on ground
to start drain, making sure to direct water away
from spa. If equipped, turn valve (2) clockwise to
open the valve.
4. After spa is drained, reinstall drain cap on drain
hose tting until nger tight! If equipped, turn valve
(2) counterclockwise to close the valve. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
5. Coil drain hose up and place back inside the spa equipment bay
(Fig. A).
6. Reinstall synthetic cabinet and screws, then refer to the “Spa Fill Up
Procedure” (page 18).

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
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 relled.
12.5 Cover Care and Maintenance
Certain hot tub covers distributed by Jacuzzi Hot Tubs have a vinyl
or PROLAST™/PROLAST™ Extreme encasement. This vinyl or
PROLAST™/PROLAST™ Extreme encasement also referred to as the
cover “skin” is attractive and durable. Regular monthly cleaning and
conditioning (vinyl) is strongly recommended and may increase the
longevity of your cover.
A. To Clean and Care for the Cover
To clean and condition the encasement (cover skin):
1. Use a garden hose to remove any debris.
2. Using a large sponge or soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap to
gently scrub the top.
3. Rinse and clean and do not allow soap to dry on the cover. Do not
use soap on the underside of the cover.
4. Please check with your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub Dealer for recommended
cover care and conditioning products. Use non-petroleum based
conditioners to keep the vinyl supple.
5. Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents. Do
not use products that contain silicone or alcohol.
B. Additional Care and Maintenance Instructions:
1. Debris can accumulate on the spa cover. Removal of snow or other
debris will help to avoid breakage of the foam cores.
2. Be sure to lock the cover straps to secure the cover from unwanted
or accidental entry.
3. Do not place heavy objects on the vinyl.
4. Do not walk, sit or stand on the cover.
5. Do not drag or use the aps/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 efcient operation and efcient 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.
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), program the primary ltration cycle
to run for a minimum of 8 hrs per day to prevent freezing (page 31). 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 40 for draining the spa.
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means
necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and
into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position
to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, page 28.
4. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the
plumbing lines to drain, pages 24 and 25.
5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use
of the spa, page 28.
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
ooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
42
J-200
9. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEARRAY® system and pull hose
off of CLEARRAY tting (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 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
ow 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
within specied 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 specic guidance on maintaining water quality,
consult your Authorized Jacuzzi dealer who can recommend appropriate
chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.
, m
aintain water quality
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.

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.

the purication system; it has two LED indicator lights, the green
indicating incoming power ow and the red indicating the system
is properly working. CLEARRAY is standard for all models.
Note: The CLEARRAY only runs when pump 1 is on low speed
for an automatic reason, a heat call or a lter cycle.
After a year the bulb must be replaced. A message will appear
on the LCD display when the time allotted has expired. In order to clear
the message, a new UV bulb needs to be installed and the timer must be
reset (page 33).
Note: In order to access the CLEARRAY unit, the front synthetic panel
or stereo panel and right corner panel must be removed.
WARNINGS:
!
• Do not operate the UV-C emitter when it is removed from the
appliance enclosure.
• This appliance contains a UV-C emitter.
• Unintended use of the appliance or damage to the housing may
