1.0 Important spa Owner Information  
®
Your Jacuzzi spa is constructed to the highest standards and is capable  
of providing many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat  
retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for efficient operation,  
an uncovered spa surface directly exposed to sunlight and high tempera-  
tures for an extended period is subject to permanent damage. Damage  
caused by exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered under warranty.  
We recommend that you always keep the spa full of water when it is  
exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the Jacuzzi insulating cover  
in place at all times when the spa is not in use. Read and carefully follow  
the requirements for your spa’s support base found in the Section 4.0  
titled, “Choosing a Location” (page 8).  
Jacuzzi® spas constantly strives to offer the finest spas available,  
therefore, modifications and enhancements may be made which affect  
the specifications, illustrations and/or instructions contained herein.

Important Csa safety instructions (Canada only)  
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should  
always be followed, including the following:  
1. reaD anD FOllOw all InsTruCTIOns.  
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,  
Grounding or the  
symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box  
or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal  
must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric  
supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size  
to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment. *IEC Publication  
417, Symbol 5019.  
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the  
external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/  
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local  
common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with  
an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG  
(10 mm²).  
4. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or  
other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded  
to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller  
than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).  
5. saVe THese InsTruCTIOns.  
4.0 Choosing a location  
ImPOrTanT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water  
and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the  
spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly support-  
ing this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the  
spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not  
meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell  
may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered  
under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure  
the integrity of the support at all times. We recommend a poured,  
reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10  
cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so  
that it meets the requirements outlined above.

J-400 Series  
warnInG: For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs  
or other platforms not specifically tied into main struc-  
tural support, consult a professional structural engineer  
with experience in this type of application.  
!
The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away  
from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper  
drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the  
equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas  
which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access  
to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain  
that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side  
cabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on the  
side with the equipment bay.  
CauTIOn: If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area,  
proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority  
competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to  
vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors  
outdoors. when the spa is in use considerable amounts of  
moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This  
can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces,  
surroundings, and equipment.  
!
4.1  
Outdoor location  
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you  
take into consideration:  
The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder  
weather).  
The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so  
that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).  
The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and  
birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).  
A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result  
in lowered operation and maintenance costs).  
The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to  
place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water  
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.  
For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not  
specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional  
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.

J-400 Series  
4.2  
Indoor location  
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before  
installing a spa indoors.  
Proper Foundation: Consult a structural engineer when  
considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa  
the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially  
if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are  
to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied  
into the main structural support, you should consult a professional  
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.  
Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place  
measures to sufficiently handle excessive water spillage. Be  
sure the flooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage  
and can handle the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to make  
provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the  
spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet or moist so  
all flooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures  
should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.  
Proper Ventilation: Proper ventilation should be discussed with  
an engineer or authority competent enough to understand the  
necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air  
associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use  
considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing  
mold and mildew over time which can damage certain surfaces and/  
or surroundings.  
sufficient access: In the unlikely event that you should ever need  
to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is  
highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide  
full access to the entire spa.  
warranty: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any  
improper installation not in accordance to local codes or authorities is  
not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state  
or city building ordinances.  
warnInG: In addition to maintenance of filters and water  
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the  
risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,  
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be  
present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or  
building contractor to determine your specific needs if install-  
ing your hot tub indoors.

8.0 spa Fill up Procedure  
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with this  
procedure.  
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™ Plus skimmer, polishing filter lids and filters  
as illustrated in Section 14.1 (page 67).  
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: to DeCrease builD uP on CoMPonents anD  
mInImIZe aCrYlIC DamaGe.  
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. You may fill entirely with hard water if  
you use a special water additive available from your Jacuzzi dealer.  
!
warnInG: TO DeCrease rIsK OF InFeCTIOn Or  
DIsease.  
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of  
contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus)  
and/or respiratory ailments. Fill until water covers all jets but does not  
touch the bottom of the lowest headrest (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 illustrated in Section 14.1 (page 67).  
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 LCD display flashes the temperature  
icon and either “Water is below set-temp” or “Freeze  
protection” error, this is normal. Refer to page 73 for  
additional information.  
4. activate Jets Pumps  
Turn on all jets(s) pumps when adding chemicals in  
step 5 (see Section 11.2, page 50 to activate jets).  
Page 17  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
J-400 Series  
5. add start-up Chemicals  
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized  
Jacuzzi spa dealer. See Section titled “Water Quality Maintenance”  
(page 71) for general guidance.  
warnInG: rIsK OF POIsOnInG Or DeaTH.  
Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone. Use  
chemicals according to the vendors instructions. Always store  
!
chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from  
and out of reach of children.  
6. establish a stable sanitizer reading  
Establish a stable sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine  
or 2.0-4.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always  
maintain 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. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized,  
perform the Decontamination Procedures on the following page.  
note: The “Decontamination Procedure” should also be used after  
the spa has been “Winterized” (sec. 14.7, page 70) or has been sitting  
without power for an extended period.  
7. set spa To Heat  
SPLASH  
UP  
To warm spa water to a comfortable  
temperature, follow these steps:  
The LCD display on the control panel  
displays the actual temperature of the spa  
water. Press either the uP or DOwn button  
on the Navigational Quad Keypad to increase or decrease the water  
temperature by 1 degree.  
RIGHT  
LEFT  
DOWN  
The heater will turn off 1 degree above set temperature and turn on 1  
degree below set temperature.  
Important Heater Details:  
The maximum temperature for which the spa can be set is 104 °F  
(40 °C) and the minimum is 80 °F (27 °C).  
For North American spas: With a 50 amp service, turn off one  
of the jet pumps to operate heater. With a 30 amp service, turn  
off both jet pumps to operate heater. With a 60 amp service, the  
heater will operate with both jet pumps on.  
Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating  
process. This will only result in a higher ultimate temperature.  
The heater operates until the water reaches 1 degree above the  
programmed “set temperature”, then turns off. The heater will  
reactivate after the water cools to approximately 1 degree below  
the “set temperature.”

J-400 Series  
8. Place Cover On spa  
Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the spa is not in  
use will reduce the time required for heating, thereby minimizing  
operating costs.  
The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the  
starting water temperature.  
DanGer: rIsK OF PersOnal InJurY.  
Check water temperature carefully before entering hot tub!  
Excessive water temperature can cause burns, welts and body  
temperature to rise, hyperthermia (over-heating).  
!
Decontamination Procedure  
Steps 1-7 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable  
after performing Spa Fill Up Procedures steps 1-6. Disregard  
Decontamination Procedure below if sanitizer levels remain stable at  
3.0-4.0 chlorine or 2.0-4.0 bromine ppm after performing Spa Fill Up  
Procedures steps 1-6.  
1. Add 2.5 ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons of water.  
Refer to the table below for approximate water fill volume by model.  
CauTIOn: rIsK OF PersOnal InJurY Or sPa DamaGe!  
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for  
!
any reason! These chemical may damage components within  
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void  
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

!
To decrease the possibility of contracting a waterborne ill-  
ness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory  
ailments, maintain water chemistry within step 6 param-  
eters. If you or other bathers experience such a condition,  
discontinue use and seek medical attention.  
7. 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 reading 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 until stable sanitizer  
readings are achieved.  
8. After adequate sanitizer levels are achieved, close all spa air controls  
to maximize heat retention when spa is not in use.

Your Jacuzzi Spa is equipped with a state-of-the-art control panel. You  
will be able to access sets of multi-level menus. Familiarize yourself with  
the following information, so you can gain the full benefits of your spa. By  
learning the key features of the control panel, you will navigate through

just to the side of them (buttons A-D).  
At times you will see up, down, left or right arrows surrounding key  
features that are selected or made by using the Navigational Quad  
Keypad (see below).  
In the center of the Quad Keypad is the “Splash” button. This button  
is mostly used to save, set, reset or enter your changes.  
Located to the left, about mid-screen, is an icon that lets you know  
what menu you are currently in.

summer logic: In warm weather, the water temperature in the spa  
may exceed the set temperature. This condition may occur due to heat  
transference from the filter/circulation pump and jets pumps. If the  
water temperature is higher than 95 °F (35 °C) and rises two degrees  
above the set temperature, a “Summer Logic” condition occurs that  
deactivates the filter/circulation pump and ozonator (if equipped).  
This safety feature cannot be altered! The filter/circulation pump and  
ozonator will remain off until the water temperature cools to the set  
temperature (except between 9:00-11:00 AM when the filter/circulation  
pump runs for its mandatory 2-hour cycle). To help prevent a “Summer  
Logic” condition, it may be necessary to reduce filter/circulation pump  
cycles run times in warm weather.

14.0 spa maintenance  
Proper and regular maintenance of your spa will help it retain its beauty  
and performance. Your authorized Jacuzzi dealer can supply you with  
all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to  
accomplish this.  
DanGer: risk oF severe inJury or Drowning by  
enTraPmenT!  
!
Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from  
suction fittings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid  
entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.  
Never use the spa unless all suction guards, filter, filter lid, or skim-  
mer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair entrapment.  
Never operate or use the spa if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer assem-  
bly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is missing.  
Please contact your dealer or nearest service center for service.  
The suction fittings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match  
the specific water flow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to  
replace the suction fittings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that  
the flow rates are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB  
Safety Act, page 2.  
Never replace a suction fitting or suction cover with one rated less  
than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. Using  
improper suction fittings or suction covers can create a body or hair  
suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe  
injury.  
Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair, Limb,  
Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical Entrapment,

14.1 Cleaning the Filter Cartridges  
A programmable “Please Check Filter”  
reminder appears on the control panel  
display after a specified number days to  
remind you to clean the skimmer filter and to  
check the polishing bag filter. This reminder  
must be reset at each filter cleaning interval.

information and programming details. Your new spa is equipped with an  
advanced 2-stage filtration system. Fine debris are filtered by the  
circulation pump drawing water through the ProClear™ skimmer and  
pleated filter cartridge 12 hours (unless programmed otherwise). Large  
debris are filtered when either jets pump is running when the spa is in  
use or during a programmed filter cycle. These pumps draw water from  
footwell suction fitting and through a secondary water polishing bag filter  
and additional filter. The exclusive footwell “sweeper” suction fitting  
enhances filtration in the footwell area by creating a “swirling” water  
motion to maximize particle agitation and pickup.  
To ensure optimum performance, the ProClear™ II  
skimming filter cartridge (A) must be cleaned every  
three months and replaced once a year. The secondary  
ProClear™ Plus polishing filter bag (B) should be emptied  
weekly and replaced every 3 months. The ProClear™ II  
filter cartridge (C) must be cleaned every three months  
and replaced once a year. To accomplish this, refer to the  
following filter cleaning procedure.

replacing the filter cartridge, make sure you remove the center cap  
and chemical dispenser for use with the new cartridge. Replacement  
filter cartridges may be purchased from your authorized Jacuzzi  
dealer.  
14.2 Draining and refilling  
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The  
frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of  
use, number of users, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc.  
You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing  
and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even  
though the key water balance measurements are all within the proper  
parameters.  
Caution! reaD this beFore Draining: To prevent dam-  
age to the spas components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit  
breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until your  
spa has been refilled.  
CauTIOn: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when  
draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is out-  
doors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see  
do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.  
Page 68  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
J-400 Series  
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:  
1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.  
2. Locate the drain valve located on the front left  
corner on the black plastic pan. Hold the  
larger (rear) drain valve body to prevent it  
from turning, then loosen and remove the  
front cap to expose the underlying male hose  
threads.  
3. Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads.  
4. Gently rotate the larger (rear) valve body  
1/3 turn counterclockwise to unlock the drain  
valve.

spa.  
5.  
Open Drain  
After refilling, turn on power to the spa and follow the steps listed under  
“Spa Fill Up Procedures.” (page 17). Always fill your spa through both  
filter buckets.  
14.3 Cleaning the spa Interior  
To preserve the sheen of your spa’s surface, it is crucial that you avoid  
using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse chemical effect  
on the surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of a particular  
cleanser, consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. Regardless of the  
cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no soap residue is left on  
the surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the spa is refilled.  
14.4 Pillow Care  
Clean the four headrests in your spa as needed by wiping them with a  
cloth with soapy water. It is not necessary to remove the headrests for  
cleaning. To remove headrests for long term storage or replacement,  
grasp both ends of each headrest and gently pull inward towards the  
center of the spa. To reinstall, over mounting strip and press down until  
headrest mounting bracket emits a “click” sound. Then adjust headrest  
height by simply moving up or down as desired.  
14.5 maintaining the synthetic Cabinet  
The synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind. To  
clean, simply wipe cabinet with mild detergent soap solution and a clean  
towel.  
Page 69  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
J-400 Series  
CauTIOn: Never spray cabinet with a high pressure garden  
hose for any reason since this action may induce an electrical  
short in the spa’s electrical equipment.  
14.6 maintaining the Cover  
Using the Jacuzzi insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will  
significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time, and maintenance  
requirements. To prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and  
clean it regularly using mild soap and water. Periodic treatments with a  
special conditioner developed for Jacuzzi spa covers will help protect  
against deterioration caused by UV rays from the sun. Never allow  
anyone to stand or sit on the cover, and avoid dragging it across rough  
surfaces.  
14.7 winterizing  
Your Jacuzzi spa is designed to automatically protect itself against  
freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing  
temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the  
electrical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter  
cold weather (less than -20 °F) verify auto-heating is set for 24-hour  
operation (Section 13.5 Programming The Primary Filter Cycle, page 64)  
and that auto-heating is selected (Section 13.2 Auto-Heating or Section  
13.3 Programmable Heating Mode, page 60) to protect against damage  
to the spa.  
If you do not intend to use your spa, or if there is a prolonged power  
outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important  
that all water be removed from the spa and equipment to protect  
against damage from freezing.  
expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, contact  
your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. In emergency situations, damage can  
be minimized by taking the following steps:  
CauTIOn: Turn OFF POwer TO sPa.  
1. Follow the directions on page 68 for draining the spa.  
2. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position  
to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 54.  
3. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the  
plumbing lines to drain, see page 54.  
4. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means  
necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and  
into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.  
5. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available  
to remove any remaining water from the footwell, such as a wet/dry  
vacuum.

J-400 Series  
6. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain  
plugs in the front of each pump (Figure A, page 12). 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  
procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from  
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.  
7. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figure A, page 12) 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.  
8. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover spa so that no casual  
moisture can enter into it.  
Consult your Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions regarding winter  
use or winterizing.  
14.8 restarting Your spa in Cold weather  
If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time in  
freezing 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.  
15.0 water Quality maintenance  
To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,  
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality  
within specified limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong  
the life of the hot tub’s equipment. Doing so requires regular attention  
because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.  
Procrastination in regard to water maintenance will result in poor and  
potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even damage to your  
hot tub investment. For specific guidance on maintaining water quality,  
consult your Authorized Jacuzzi dealer who can recommend appropriate  
chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.

CauTIOn: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub’s  
equipment bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated tempera-  
tures, this is where high voltage electronic devices are located. This  
area is not intended for storage of any kind.  
15.1 pH Control  
pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured  
on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which  
is alkaline and below which is acidic. In spa water, it is very important  
to maintain a slightly alkaline condition of 7.4 to 7.6. Problems become  
proportionately severe the further outside of this range the water gets.  
A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the spa equipment. A high pH will  
cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling). In addition,  
the ability of the sanitation agents to keep the spa clean is severely  
affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all  
spa water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanitizer.  
15.2 sanitizing  
To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the spa water, a sanitizer  
must be used regularly. Chlorine and bromine are the two most popular  
sanitizers used to date. The “Proclear” Mineral Spa Clarifier” designed  
especially for your hot tub is a beneficial product for water maintenance.  
Many other additives are available for your spa. Some are necessary to  
compensate for out-of-balance water; some aid in cosmetic water treatment  
and others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. Your authorized Jacuzzi  
dealer can advise you on the use of these additives. When adding spa  
shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH balancing chemicals activate the  
jets pump(s) and leave the spa cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes.  
By doing this you will allow excessive chemical vapors to exit the spa,  
protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.  
warnInG: risk oF Personal inJury, Drowning

Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for  
any reason! These chemical may damage components within  
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash and void  
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.  
15.3 Other additives

15.4 Ozone water maintenance system (Optional)  
This system is optional on North American models and standard  
equipment on export 50 Hz modes. If you spa is equipped with the  
Jacuzzi CD ozone water purification system you will find that your water  
stays fresh and clear with significantly less chemical usage. You will  
probably be able to go longer between complete spa drainings.  
note: To maximize sanitation benefits from this product, always turn off  
the spa waterfall valve when the spa is covered or not in use. This setting  
ensures maximum water flow through the ozone injector and higher  
ozone concentrations. The ozone only runs when the circulation pump is  
running and shuts off when either jets pump is manually activated during  
spa use. The circulation pump will remain off for 5 minutes after both jets  
pumps time out or are manually turned off, then resume operation as  
programmed.  
16.0 error/Display messages  
There are a number of unique functions designed into your Jacuzzi spa  
to protect it from damage and/or to aid in troubleshooting. When an error  
occurs the spa will notify you by showing the screen below and an error  
code next to it. Following is a listing of all the possible messages along  
with their meanings:

sound is detected, turn off power to the hot tub. Pump may not be  
properly primed. If condition persists, contact your authorized dealer  
or service organization.  
5. Freeze protection: A potential freeze condition has been detected. No  
action is required. Jets pump(s) and heater operate until the spa is out  
of danger. Depending on the amperage provided, operation will be as  
follows:  
In 60A or 20A (50Hz only) logic, the heater remains on at all  
times, while pump 1 and pump 2 turn on for 10 minutes and then  
off for 10 minutes. The pumps will alternate on and off until the  
spa gets out of the freeze condition.  
In 50A or 30A logic, the heater turns on for 10 minutes then turns  
off. Then pump 1 and pump 2 turn on for 10 minutes, then turn  
off. The spa will alternate between the heater and the pumps  
being on and off until the spa gets out of the freeze condition.  
note: The pumps cannot be manually controlled while the Freeze  
condition is active. If a button is pushed, the error message will go away,  
but will reappear if the spa is still in the Freeze condition 5 minutes later.  
This error commonly occurs when the spa is first filled because tap water  
is often very cold.
