IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not recommend spa water
temperatures in excess of 104 F. High water temperatures in excess of 104 F. and prolonged periods of use
can raise internal human body temperature excessively
and impair the body’s ability to regulate its internal
temperature. Limit your initial use of the spa to 10 - 15
minutes. High body temperatures affect people differently; consult your physician about your safety and
comfort before using the spa.
The elderly, the infirm, and children should not use the
spa unattended. Infants should not be permitted in the
spa at water temperatures over 100 F. Pregnant
women and people with heart conditions should consult
their physicians before using the spa at water temperatures over 100 F.
Extra care should be taken when using the spa and
consuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, drugs, or
certain medications such as tranquilizers affect a person’s ability to withstand high temperatures and may
produce dangerous effects.
Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12 inches
away from suction fitting and skimmers at all times when
the spa is operating. Hair longer than shoulder length
should be secured close to the head, or a bathing cap
should be worn. Do not remove the suction grille! It is
a safety device and must always be in place on the
suction fitting to minimize the potential hazard of hair
entanglement or body entrapment.
o

The wet surface of the spa is slippery. Use care when
entering and exiting.
The optional cover available for your spa is rigid but is not
designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety
precaution, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it.
The spa must be installed with adequate access and
water drainage system. (See Installation Instructions.)
When using the electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed:
This unit is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) located in the System Control Module. Check to
be sure this is operational once a month. (The procedure for testing is described on page 6 of this manual.)
Do not use electrically connected devices such as
television, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, cooking
devices, or telephones within 5 feet of the spa while the
spa is being used. Lighting fixtures must not be located
directly above or within 5 feet of the spa. If located within
10 feet of the spa, they must be on a circuit protected by
a GFCI.
Do not turn on power to the spa unless it is filled with
water to the normal water level, which is to the water
level indicator mark on the skimmer frame. Activating
the spa when there is an insufficient amount of water can
damage the circulation pump and may cause a fire.
Read manufacturer’s safety information provided with
all optional equipment.
Save These Instructions for Future Use.

The Razza Plus™Portable Whirlpool Spa
Specifications and Installation Instructions
The Razza Plus™ is an exquisite tear-drop shaped whirlpool spa by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath designed with fullfeatured elegance to provide the comfort and luxurious spa experience you expect from a Jacuzzi whirlpool spa. The
Razza Plus features multi-level contoured seating for 5 or more people. Entry and exit from the spa are made easier
and safer by the built-in exterior and interior steps. And for a revitalizing hydromassage, five fully adjustable, color
coordinated PowerPro™ whirlpool jets and three directionally adjustable jet are located strategically to massage
lumbar, upper back, and neck regions, depending on where you are seated. The stacked jets ensure this simultaneous
hydrotherapy.
A unique feature of the Razza Plus is a cascade
waterfall which creates a dazzling, shimmering cascade of water while the spa's whirlpool or filter mode is
operating.
The Razza Plus also features a clearly labeled control
panel. Push button controls give you convenient command of the heater, filter, whirlpool, light, and air blower
functions. Two control panels having knobs for adjustment of the silent air induction are located at the rim of
the spa. A 7-day timer (located on the System Control
Module) can be set for automatic control of temperature
and filtration. The Razza Plus also features a low
voltage underwater light and interchangeable colored
lenses, adding even more luxury and excitement to your
spa experience.
The Razza Plus offers the convenience of two patented front-load skimmer/filters for maximum efficiency.
The unique 50 sq. ft. filtration system, designed by
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, allows easy access from inside
the spa to both filter cartridges without having to drain
the spa or open the skirt door.
The spa shell is foam-insulated to save energy costs,
and the spa is tastefully surrounded by a factory installed
redwood skirt.
The complete equipment pack of the Razza Plus is
mounted within the perimeter of the spa, so the spa is
easy to install. The spa requires a 230 VAC 50 AMP 4wire grounded, separate circuit and is equipped with a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). An optional gas
heater is available as an alternate heating source and
can be installed remotely. The Razza Plus is available
in a wide range of lustrous acrylic colors. (See the
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath color guide.)

Inspection and Shipping Claim
Check for shipping damage upon receipt of the spa. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damage to the
spa sustained during shipping. If damage is evident before unpacking, see instructions regarding shipping claims on
the outside of the carton and immediately file a claim with the carrier.
Once the spa has been removed from the carton and before it is permanently installed (see below on this page for
unpacking instructions), check the spa completely for damage. Fill the shell with water and operate the system (see
Operating Instructions) to check for leaks which may have resulted from shipping or handling. All Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath spas are factory tested for proper operation and water tight connections prior to shipping. If leaks or other
problems are detected, immediately notify your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer or Authorized Service Agent, or call
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, (510) 938-7411 or, (510) 938-7070 for Warranty Service.
Note: Damage or defects which could have been discovered and repaired prior to installation and which are claimed
after final installation of the spa, are excluded from our warranty.
Unpacking
1. Remove sides and top of crate, as well as plastic
bags, leaving pallet intact.
2. Check for shipping damage. Register damage
claim with carrier. See Notice on this carton.
3. Remove and set aside unattached cartons and
accessory pieces.
4. Move spa to final site with pallet still attached as
shown. (See note below if spa must be moved

Positioning Your Spa
Because your Razza Plus spa is portable, you can locate it just about anywhere you wish--on a deck,patio, or even
indoors. Just be sure to position it above ground in an area with good drainage and on a level, continuous surface
which can support the weight of the spa when filled with water and people; this weight is approximately 4017 lbs. You
must also provide access to the spa's equipment for service and general maintenance.

Electrical Requirements
Your Razza Plus, requires a 230 VAC 50 AMP 4-wire
grounded type electrical service having copper conductors and must be in a separate circuit having no other
appliance connected in that circuit. If you do not have
this kind of circuit, a qualified electrician should be called
in to install the necessary wiring. Inadequately sized
wiring may cause a voltage drop which might cause the
unit to malfunction and bring about permanent damage
to the spa's electrical system. We recommend that the
wire be sized for a 3% maximum voltage drop. (See
NEC.) Each "leg"of the incoming power to neutral must
be 105 VAC minimum at the spa when all the spa
equipment is running.The circuit must also have a ground
wire in order to take advantage of the designed-in safety
features of the spa. A bond wire must also be used.
Bond according to procedure described on the next
page.
Caution: Without proper grounding and bonding, a
system malfunction may cause fatal shock.

INSTALLATION
Electrical Precautions
CAUTION: Do not apply electrical power to the
spa unless it is filled with water to the normal
water level, which is approx. 9" below the spa rim
(see location of water level indicator on face of
skimmer on page 13). If the spa's motor/pumps
are actuated when there is not sufficient water in
the unit, the circulation pump could be irrepara-
bly damaged. Not heeding this caution will nullify
the warranty. In addition to damaging the unit,
operating the unit with insufficient water could
cause a fire.
Do not locate lighting fixtures directly above the spa;
lighting and electrical receptacles must be located at
least 5 ft. from the spa. Lighting located between 5
and 10 ft. from the spa must be on a circuit protected
by a GFCI. (See National Electrical Code, 680-6.)
Do not use electrically connected devices, such as
television, radio, toys, telephones, stereo speakers,
lights or cooking devices within 5 ft. of the spa when
the spa is being used.
Bonding and Grounding
All fixed metal objects located within 5 ft. of the spa,
such as fence posts, railings, door frames greenhouse structures, gutters, etc., must be attached to
the bonding bar on the outside of the spa electrical
cabinet using #8 solid copper wire. With #8 solid
copper wire, bond the spa to the house electrical
panel or approved local bond.
An approved ground may be an 8 ft. long ground
rod, a plate electrode, or a buried metal water
pipe with at least 10 ft. of buried pipe. Check your
local building code for requirements. Bonding
lugs are available at your local electrical supply
store. (Bond bar location is shown on page 7.)
Outdoor Installation
If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend that
you provide a concrete pad for it to rest on. To do this,
construct forms for a 8' x 8' x 4" (approx.) thick level pad.
Install a #10 gauge wire mesh 6" x 6" steel reinforced
grid. Attach a #8 solid copper wire to the grid with a
ground clamp. This wire should be long enough to reach
the bond bar on the spa System Control Module (min.
36"), but should not be located under the base of the spa.
Then pour the concrete pad.
Drainage
Whether you install your spa indoors or outdoors, you
can drain it by attaching a garden hose to the drain valve
located on the suction tee of the spa. Simply run the
hose to the house sewer line or drain field and open the
drain valve. See inside back cover for a quicker, permanent drain method.
Make sure the area surrounding the spa has good
drainage to keep water from collecting at the base of the
BOND BAR
#8 BOND WIRE
(TO HOUSE ELECTRICAL
PANEL OR LOCAL BOND)
spa, especially near the equipment area. If drainage is
poor, install a drain line and/or gravel drain field (see
illustration below).
Indoor Installations
Water which splashes on the floor during use of the
spa may cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage unless good drainage is provided and proper
waterproof building materials are used in the area surrounding and beneath the spa. Take into consideration,
also, the high room humidity which will exist due to high
spa water temperatures. Providing natural or forced
ventilation of the room will help maintain comfort and
minimize moisture damage to the building. Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damages resulting
from excess moisture or water spillage. Consult an
architect or engineer for aid in designing your indoor
installation.
