Heater Plumbing
Use at least 4 ft. of copper pipe in the inlet and outlet plumbing of a gas heater (refer to local codes). Install a current
collector in each water line to the heater if an electric heater is used. Piping should be 1 1/2" or larger. You must install a
swing check valve after heater discharge. To minimize performance loss, locate the heater no farther than 5 ft. away from
the equipment pack and at the same elevation. Refer to heater manufacturer's instructions and the "Recommended
Equipment Layout" on page 8.
Air Channel Plumbing
Use 2" PVC schedule 40 pipe for the plumbing line between the optional air blower and the 2" fitting located under the
spa near the skimmer wall. See page 12 for detailed air blower instructions.
Automatic Chlorinators
There are several brands and types of automatic chlorinators available. Automatic chlorinators should be installed
downstream of the heater (all types) with a check valve in the line to ensure that the chlorine solution does not enter the heater
and cause corrosive damage. Your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer will be glad to assist you in making your selection.
Note: Use of an automatic chlorinator does not ensure proper water quality. Check and adjust water quality frequently to
prevent corrosive damage, which is not covered by the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath warranty.
