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 16.
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 39).
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter fitting.
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:
•
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 fitting after drain-
ing. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped the pumps, prevent-
ing the pumps 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 27). The heater and filter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel LCD
displays "COOL" or "ICE" this is normal, refer to page 51 for additional
information.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when adding
start-up chemicals in step 5.
