Proper and regular maintenance of your spa will help it retain its beauty
and performance. Your authorized Jacuzzi dealer can supply you with
all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to
accomplish this.
DANGER:
!
ENTRAPMENT!
• Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away
from suction fittings, rotating jets or other moving components to
avoid entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
• Never use the spa unless all suction guards, filter, filter lid, or
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
• Never operate or use the spa if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer
assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is
missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center
for service.
• The suction fittings and suction covers in this spa are sized
to match the specific water flow created by the pump(s). If it
is necessary to replace the suction fittings, suction covers or
pump(s), be sure that the flow rates are compatible and are in
compliance with the VGB Safety Act, page 2.
• Never replace a suction fitting or suction cover with one rated
less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Using improper suction fittings or suction covers can create a
body or hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drown-
ing or severe injury.
• Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair,
Limb, Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical
Entrapment, page 6.

Cleaning the Filter Cartridges

A reminder message appears on the control
panel display after a specified number days to
remind you to clean the skimmer filter and to
check the polishing bag filter. This reminder must
be reset at each filter cleaning interval. Refer to
Section 12.7 (page 42) for additional
information and programming details. Your new
spa is equipped with an advanced 2-Stage filtration system. Fine debris
are filtered by the circulation pump drawing water through the
ProClarity™/ProClear™ skimmer and pleated filter cartridges. Large
debris are filtered when jets pump 1 is running when the spa is in use or
during a programmed filter cycle. These pumps draw water from footwell
suction fitting and through a secondary water polishing bag filter and
additional filter.
