Spa Maintenance; Cleaning The Filters - Jacuzzi J-230 Owner's Manual

The spa continues to perform the "F3" cycle until lock mode is canceled,
allowing another cycle to be selected.
Filter Cycle Setup Example
To set a time for the first filtration/heating cycle, simply turn power on to the
spa two minutes prior to the desired time. EXAMPLE: If you desire your first
filtration/heating cycle to begin at 10:00 AM turn off power to the spa and turn
it back on again at 9:58 AM. Note: start time is approximate and may vary
slightly from day to day.

12.0 Spa Maintenance

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 infor-
mation, supplies, and accessory products you will need to accomplish this.

12.1 Cleaning The Filters

J-210 & J-220 Models:
These model spas are equipped with a skimmer basket and filter cartridge
located in the skimmer/filter well. Filtering is accomplished when jets pump
#1 turns on in low speed initiating water flow through the skimmer basket and
polyester mesh filter cartridge. As this happens, suspended particles become
trapped on the filter' s surface.
To Clean Filter:
1. Turn off power to the spa at the home' s breaker panel or select the L1 "Lock
Out" mode (page 25) to disable all spa functions.
2. Remove the filter strainer lid assembly.
3. Remove the filter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to unthread it
from the filter wall fitting, then lift it straight up to remove from filter well.
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. Continue,
one section at a time, until you have rinsed all of the filter' s pleats.
To ensure optimum performance, clean and reuse the skimmer bag and filter
cartridge once a month or as necessary, depending on use.
All models include filters on thier footwell suction covers (shown
right) that prevent debris from entering pump 2 and the massage
selector(s), when operating. These filters must remain in place to
protect these components from debris entrapment/damage. They
should be cleaned every 2 months, or when weak pump performance
is observed.
