Maintaining The Synthetic Cabinet
Your new spa's synthetic cabinet requires little or no mainte-
nance of any kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean
towel and mild soap solution.
ATTENTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any
reason since this action may induce an electrical short in the
spa's electrical equipment.

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 0°C (32°F), program
the primary filtration cycle to run for 24 hours to prevent
freezing
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 situa-
tions, damage can be minimized by taking the following steps:
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. Follow the directions 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.
4. Turn the waterfall valve(s) to the open position to allow the
water in the plumbing lines to drain.
5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you re-
sume use of the spa.
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). Remove
plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and heater.
Note: Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from
3
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
9. Loosen the hose clamp on the circulation pump intake behind
the control box and pull the hose off (twist hose back and forth
while pulling outward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then
reinstall hose and clamp.
10. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEARRAY® system and
pull hose off of CLEARRAY® fitting (twist the hose back and forth
while pulling downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain. Then
reinstall hose and clamp. Remove the cover of the CLEARRAY®
system to access the UV bulb and quartz tube. Remove and store
the UV bulb in a safe location. Remove and dry off the quartz
tube then reinstall it. Depending on the length of time, consider
replacing the UV bulb when you resume use of your hot tub.
11. Reinstall synthetic cabinet side panel and cover spa so that
no casual moisture can enter into it.

Restarting Your Spa in Cold Weather

If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time
in freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in
certain sections of the piping may still be frozen. This situation
will block water flow preventing the spa from operating properly
and possibly damaging the equipment.
