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 -20°F (-29°C), choose the F3 "Standard" filtration/
heating mode to prevent freezing (page 28). 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.
For expert winterization of your spa, contact your authorized
Jacuzzi dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by
taking the following steps:
CauTIon: Turn oFF power To HoT TuB!
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. Follow the directions on page
3. 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 foot well.
4. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the foot well.
5. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and
locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page
16). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and heater.
note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this
procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
6. Reinstall synthetic cabinet side panel and cover spa so that no
casual moisture can enter into it.
Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions
regarding winter use or winterizing.

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
33 for draining the spa.
