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.
Expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, 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 33 for draining the spa.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position
to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 27.
4. Turn the waterfall valve(s) to the open position to allow the water in
the plumbing lines to drain, see page 27.
5. 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, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
6. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the foot well, such as a wet/dry
vacuum.
7. 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.
8. 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.
