Restarting Your Spa In Cold Weather; Water Quality Maintenance - Jacuzzi J-460 Owner's Manual

2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means nec-
essary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into
the footwell.
3. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the footwell.
4. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain
plugs in the front of each pump (Figure-A, page 11). Remove these
plugs to allow the water to drain out of the pumps and heater. (Note:
Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this proce-
dure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flood-
ing the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
5. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figure-A, page 11) and pull
hose off of heater fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling
downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose
and clamp.
6. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover spa so that no casual mois-
ture can enter into it.
Consult your Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions regarding winter
use or winterizing.

12.8 Restarting Your Spa in Cold Weather

If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time in freez-
ing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain sections
of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water flow
preventing the spa from operating properly and possibly damaging the
equipment. We recommend you consult your dealer for guidance before
attempting to restart your spa under these conditions.

13.0 Water Quality Maintenance

Maintaining the quality of the water within specified limits will serve to
enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the spa's equipment. It
is a fairly simple task, but it requires regular attention because the water
chemistry involved is a balance of several factors. There is no simple
formula, and there is no avoiding it. Procrastination in regard to water
maintenance will result in poor and potentially unhealthful conditions for
soaking and even damage to your spa investment. For specific guidance
on maintaining water quality, consult your Authorized Jacuzzi dealer who
can recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and main-
taining your spa.
