To change filters in a Jacuzzi J-415, follow these steps:

1. Turn off power to the hot tub.
2. Remove the skimmer (A) or filter bag cover (B).
3. Rotate the polishing bag lid (B) counterclockwise about 5 degrees to unlatch and remove it.
4. Pull upward on the blue filter ring to remove the polishing bag.
5. Below the bag, remove the ProClear filter by rotating it counterclockwise.
6. Remove the ProClear skimmer assembly (A) by lifting it upward.
7. Remove the ProClarity™ filter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise.

To reinstall:
1. Clean or replace filters as needed.
2. Reinstall the ProClear filter, then the polishing bag.
3. Install the filter lid by rotating clockwise until it latches—do not force it; finger-tight only.
