Maintaining The Synthetic Cabinet; Winterizing - Jacuzzi J-375 Owner's Manual

12.7

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.
12.8

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
filtration cycle to run for 24 hours to prevent freezing (page 32).
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!
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. Follow the directions on page 42 for draining the spa.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position
to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, page 30.
4. Turn the waterfall valve(s) to the open position to allow the water in
the plumbing lines to drain, page 30.
5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use
of the spa, page 31.
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 foot well, 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
16). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and
heater.
Note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this pro-
cedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flooding
the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
