12. Refill spa with clean tap water from garden hose until water covers
all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest headrest with all
headrests in their lowest position (DO NOT OVERFILL!)
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.
13. Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for chemical recommen-
dations, then add chemicals to spa water to achieve a constant
sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the Association
of Pool And Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside cover of
this manual.
14. Turn on all jet pumps when adding chemicals to ensure proper mix-
ing and leave your spa cover open until the sanitizer level falls below
4.0 ppm to protect pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.
CAUTION: Never leave your spa unattended for any reason
while the cover is open and accessible to small children and
animals!
CAUTION: To prevent the unlikely possibility of contracting
a waterborne illness, maintain water chemistry within step 6
parameters. If you or other bathers experience such a condi-
tion, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
15. Establish a sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm Chlorine or 2.0-
4.0 ppm Bromine, then allow the spa to set undisturbed for 8 hours.
Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels are stable.
If sanitizer levels are stable, your spa is ready for use. To ensure
healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant sanitizer read-
ing within the levels recommended by the Association of Pool And
Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside cover of this manual.
If sanitizer levels are not stable at this time, it will be necessary to
repeat this procedure in its entirety (steps 1-15) until stable sanitizer
readings are achieved.
