Activate Jets Pumps - Jacuzzi J-495 Owner's Manual

2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into empty skimming filter fitting
as you stand next to the spa. Fill spa half way, then place the garden
hose into the opposite filter fitting while adding the remaining fill
water.
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 both filter fittings after
draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the pumps,
preventing the pumps from circulating water. Remove the hose and
replace both filter cartridges as illustrated in Section 13.1 (page
61).
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home's circuit breaker. The heater and
filter/circulation pump will automatically activate. Normally, at the
initial fill, the water tends to be cold. Refer to page 76 for additional
information.

4. Activate Jets Pumps

Turn on jet pumps when adding chemicals in step 5 (see
Section 11.2, page 44 to activate jets).
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized
Jacuzzi spa dealer. See Section titled "Water Quality Maintenance"
(page 69) for general guidance.
WARNING:
!
Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone. Use
chemicals according to the vendor's instructions. Always store
chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from
and out of reach of children.
TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.
