Spa Fill Up Procedure - Jacuzzi J-460 Owner's Manual

7.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure

FOR BEST RESULTS, READ EACH STEP IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH THAT STEP.
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 ProClear ™ skimming and polishing filter lids and filters
•
as illustrated in section 12.1 (page 41).
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into empty skimming filter bucket
(filter bucket on your left) as you stand next to the spa. Fill spa half
way, then place the garden hose into the opposite filter bucket (filter
bucket on your right) while adding the remaining fill water.
CAUTION: 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. Or,
you may fill entirely with hard water if you use a special water
additive available from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
• Fill spa until water level is above all jets and just touching the bottom
of each headrest in its lowest position. DO NOT OVERFILL!
IMPORTANT: Always fill your spa through both filter buckets
after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped
in either pump, preventing the pump from circulating water.
Remove the hose and replace both filter cartridges as illus-
trated in section 12.1 (page 41).
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home's circuit breaker. The heater and
filter/circulation pump will automatically activate. If the control panel
LCD flashes water temperature and "COOL" or "ICE", this is normal.
Refer to page 48-50 for additional information.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on all jets(s) pumps when adding chemicals in step
5.
