Parts Usage - Except in rare circumstances, only one part fails. How many parts do you replace before you find the bad one. The Jacuzzi Hot Tubs S.T.A Manual has been designed to help you control the overall cost of service by focusing on the three important aspects of your job outlined above. The S.T.A will help you fix your customer’...

Question the homeowner to determine, if possible, what specific component is not functioning. • Use the map of the spa (see below); become familiar with the components and their names. This will also help when speaking to technical service. • Keep the Owner’...

Make Sure there is access to the main breaker and GFCI, and ask the homeowner to disconnect if possible before you arrive at their home. Use the home service visit as an opportunity to sell aftermarket items such as chemicals, towels, etc. 10.
1.5 Preparing For A Service Call Know what each call is asking of you; determine whether or not the extent of service can be handled with a simple phone call or if it requires a visit. • Determine whether the call is warranty or non warranty. Make sure the customer is aware that the manufacturer will not cover out-of-warranty service.
Make professional repairs. • Putting bondo, underwater epoxy, silicone or any other product to fix cracked or leaking plumb- ing will not adequately correct the problem and will most likely result in a return visit. Replace the component or come back and do it for free! •...

1. Satisfying The Customer Most customers do not care what work you have done or what parts you have re- placed, but they always care whether or not their problem goes away. When you are done, show them that their problem is gone. If they ask how you did it, take a few minutes to explain.
If the hot tub runs only a few months, the customer thinks the circuit board was a low quality product. • The customer loses use of the hot tub. You lose money because you must go back to make it right. Jacuzzi Hot Tubs loses its reputation for quality.

4.0 Main Control Panel Functions Panel Functions: Heat Indicator: Lit when heater is on. Warmer Button: Increases water tem- perature setpoint. Cooler Button: Decreases water temper- ature setpoint. LED Display: Can display current water temperature (default display*), water tem- perature setpoint, selected filtration mode, and error messages.

Standard Filtration Modes FØ - F3 (EPROM Rev. 3.56) Heating in either of these modes (FØ - F3) is automatically controlled by the water temperature. If the hot tub water drops 2ºF (1.2ºC) below the temperature setpoint, the heater will turn on with the 24-hour circulation pump.
4.3 Aftermarket Ozone Facts All 2006+ spas include a factory installed ozone injector, check valves, and flow restrictor. Ozone System Specifications • Circulation pump runs 24 hours • Ozonator runs 24 hours • The ozonator shuts off when a Jets Button is pressed. The ozonator will resume operation approximately 5 minutes after the jets are turned off intentionally or automatically.

7.0 Troubleshooting Using The Control Panel .1 Control Panel Displays Complete operating instructions for the control panel can be found in the owner’ s manual. The hot tub’ s self-di- agnostic control system constantly monitors the hot tub for proper operation. When anything goes wrong, the control panel displays a message for the user which may result in a service call.

FL1 And FL2 Water Flow Problem • FL1: The flow switch is not closed when the circulation pump is running. The heater is de- activated. Proper water flow is inhibited or the flow switch may be obstructed, misaligned or defective. Refer to troubleshooting steps 1-4 below: Remove the filter and allow the air to bleed out of the cartridge.
Check the voltage at the transformer secondary. See section A15, page 57, for transformer testing instruc- tions. If the voltage is bad, replace the transformer. If the voltage is good, proceed to step 4. Check the circuit board transformer connections. If the connections are loose or oxidized, repair the connec- tions and retest the system.

315) at TB1 on the main terminal block. See pages 50-51 for your circuit board configuration. If the voltage is not 240 VAC (120 or 240 VAC for J-315) ±10%, consult an electrician. Check for power at the transformer secondary. Refer to appendix pages 57. If power exists on the transformer secondary, plug in a spare control panel.
.5 House Breaker Trips The hot tub’ s current draw will vary depending on how it’ s circuit board is jumpered. Jumper options determine whether multiple functions can operate together. If the house breaker trips, check the hot tub’ s current draw. If the jumpers are properly set and the current draw is within expected limits, the house breaker or wiring may be defective and need to be replaced or repaired.

• This should be 240 VAC (120 or 240 VAC on J-315), ±10%. If there is no voltage, then you have lost a hot leg or the GFCI has tripped. Verify voltage at the GFCI, if the GFCI is not tripped and you don’t have 240 VAC (120 or 240 VAC on J-315) at the hot tub, then the problem is between the GFCI and the hot tub.

If a component has excessive amperage draw, replace that component. If you should need to contact Jacuzzi Hot Tubs Technical Support, these are questions that will be asked of you. It is also a good idea to have the “Troubleshooting Data Collection Form” (see example on page 61) filled out.

• All models (except J-315 convertible models) are exclusively powered by 240 VAC. The J-315 models are convertible for either 120 VAC 3-wire or 120/240 VAC 4-wire operation. The 4-wire power configuration powers the heater only with 240 VAC for increased performance while powering all other components with 120 VAC.
Voltage is considered good if it is within ±10% of the listed value. Refer to appendix pages 50-51 for your specific circuit boards test point locations. • 2004 ProTech LED J-315 Models (US/Canada 50/60Hz) Device Test Points Voltage ±10%...

Some clothing dryer manufacturers have installed an ultraviolet light inside their machines to give clothes that “fresh-as-all-outdoors” smell. Jacuzzi Hot Tubs offers a type of ozone system, the corona dis- charge (CD). The corona discharge (CD) uses a highly efficient low current/high voltage arching chamber to gen- erate ozone.
