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 suppress 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 “blow-out” cycle that clears all
plumbing lines daily to promote maximum water sanitation. Each day at 12:00 PM
(noon), pump 2 automatically turns on for a period of one minute, then goes off.
Then pump 1 will turn on and run for one minute to complete the blow-out cycle.
Be aware, the factory programmed blow-out cycle cannot be canceled or altered!
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters as
dened by the Association of Pool And Spa Professionals/USA:
Always maintain your spas lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water.
Refer to page 39 “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 every three months, or earlier as necessary. See
page 33-35 for detailed lter cartridge cleaning/replacement instructions.
Required Water Replacement
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
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.

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,
and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending hazard;
2. Failure to perceive heat;
3. Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
4. Physical inability to exit spa;
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
6. Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
A warning sign is provided in your warranty packet. Please install
it at a location near your spa, where it is visible to the user of the
spa. For additional or replacement signs please contact your local
Jacuzzi Spas dealer and reference item number #6530-082.
CAUTIONS
1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood
pressure, and any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant
women, the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before
using a spa.
2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that
the water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
Immersion in water in excess of 104°F (40°C) can be hazardous to
your health.
Page 6
3. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature.
Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and
reduced awareness. These effects could possibly result in drowning.
4. Do not use the spa under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or
other drugs. Use of the spa under these conditions may lead to serious consequences.
5. Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa.
Enter and exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
6. Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never
operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you
are wet unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
7. Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to
maintain safe water and prevent possible damage to spa
components.
8. Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in
use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering the spa and 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.
Page 7
3.0 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 (10cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided
it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above. The
spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from the spa. 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.
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 the cabinet side panels and access to the jets components,
especially on the side with the equipment bay doors.
3.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you
take into consideration:
1. The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in areas sub
ject to colder climates).
2. 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).
3. The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and
birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
4. A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can
result in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
5. 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.
Page 8
-
3.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper ventilation. When the spa is in use, considerable amounts of moisture will
escape. This can damage certain surfaces over time. If you have any
questions regarding the placement or installation of your spa, consult
your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of filters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
risk of exposure to viruses and bacteria that could be present
in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building
contractor to determine your specific needs if installing your
spa indoors.
4.0 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 13) 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 (8.4mm2) 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.

7.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure
FOR BEST RESULTS, read each step in its entirety before proceeding
with that step:
1. Prepare Spa For Filling
• Clear all debris from the spa. (Although the spa shell has been
• Remove filter lid then remove filter cartridge from filter bucket.
polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with a specially formulated spa cleaner. Consult your dealer for additional information
prior to filling spa.
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket.
CAUTION: 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. Or, you may fill entirely with hard
water if you use a special water additive available from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
• Fill spa 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.
Page 14
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker. The heater and
filter/circulation pump will automatically activate. If the control panel
LCD flashes water temperature and “COOL” or “ICE”, refer to section 15.0 (page 41-42) for additional information.
4. Activate Jets Pump 1
Depress the JETS 1 button on the control panel once to
activate jets pump #1.
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your autho
rized Jacuzzi dealer. See section 14.0 “WATER QUALITY
MAINTENANCE” (page 39) for general guidance.
6. Establish A Stable Sanitizer Reading
Establish a stable sanitizer reading between 3 ppm and 5 ppm.
To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant
sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the Association of Pool And Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside cover
of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized, perform the
decontamination procedure steps 9-15 on page 16-18. Note: the
“decontamination procedure” steps 9-15 should also be used after
the spa has been “Winterized” (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 LCD display on the control panel displays the actual tem
perature of the spa water. Press either the COOLER (Down) or
WARMER (Up) button once to display the “set” temperature for 5
seconds. If you want the water to heat to a different temperature,
simply press COOLER (Down) or WARMER (Up) 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 temperature for which the spa can be set is
104°F (40°C) and the minimum is 80°F (27°C).
-
Page 15
• 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.”
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 operat
ing costs.
• The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the start
ing water temperature.
DANGER: Risk of injury, always check water temperature carefully before entering spa!
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 at 3 ppm to 5 ppm after performing steps 1-6 above.
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: Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) to your spa for
any reason! This chemical may damage components within
your spa and void the manufacturer warranty.
