Spa Fill Up Procedure

For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with this
procedure. Make sure that all drains and drain plugs are closed, page
15.
1. Prepare The Spa For Filling
• Clear all debris from the spa. (Although the spa shell has been
polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with a specially
formulated spa cleaner.) Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for
additional information prior to filling spa.
• Remove both ProClarity™ and ProClear™ Plus skimmer, polishing
filter lids and filters as illustrated in Section 13.1 (page 49).
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into empty skimming filter fitting.
Fill spa half way, then place the garden hose into the opposite filter
fitting while adding the remaining fill water.
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.
Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is
extremely "hard," it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and
the rest of the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can
be corrosive to metal components.
!
WARNING:
•
DISEASE.
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of
contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus)
and/or respiratory ailments. Fill until water covers all jets but does not
touch the bottom of the lowest headrest (DO NOT OVERFILL!).
IMPORTANT: Always fill your spa through both filter fittings after
draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the pumps,
preventing the pumps from circulating water. Remove the hose and
replace both filter cartridges as illustrated in Section 13.1 (page
49).
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home's circuit breaker. The heater and
filter/circulation pump will automatically activate. Normally, at the
initial fill, the water tends to be cold. Refer to page 64 for additional
information.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jet pumps when adding chemicals in step 5 (see
Section 11.2, page 31 to activate jets).
