Draining And Refilling - Jacuzzi J-100 Owner's Manual

To Clean Filter:
1. Turn off power to the spa at the home's breaker panel or select the
L1 "Lock Out" mode (page 24) to disable all spa functions.
2. Remove the filter strainer lid assembly by rotating it
counterclockwise, Figure A (page 27).
3. Remove the filter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to
unthread it from the filter wall fitting (Figure B). Then lift it straight up
to remove from filter well (Figure C).
4. Using a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle, rinse debris from
the filter pleats beginning at the top and working your way downward
(Figure D). Continue, one section at a time, until you have rinsed all
of the filter's pleats.

To ensure optimum performance, clean skimmer basket and filter
cartridge once a month or as necessary, depending on use.
Periodically, the filter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to
remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as
illustrated followed by soaking the filter overnight in a plastic container
filled with a solution of water and specially formulated filter cleanser
available from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. The average life
expectancy of each filter is approximately two years with proper care and
water quality maintenance. Replacement cartridges may be purchased
from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.

Draining and Refilling

About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa's water. The
frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of
use, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is
time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no
longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key
water balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.
