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 40.
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.
• If using the primary filter inlet to fill, remove filter cover, then remove
filter cartridge as outlined in Section 12.1 (page 37).
IMPORTANT: In most cases, filling the spa by placing the hose in
the footwell will not create an airlock, page 51. If you experience
an airlock we recommend filling by placing the end of your garden
hose into the primary filter inlet, page 37.
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into the one of the following
primary filter inlet or footwell.
!
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!)
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.
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home's circuit breaker to start boot up
sequence (Sec. 10.0, page 26). The heater and filter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel
flashes water temperature and "COL" or "ICE" this is normal, refer to
page 48 for additional information.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when
adding start-up chemicals in step 5.
