Important Spa Owner Information
Your Jacuzzi J-300 Collection 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 and wall fittings directly
exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period are
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 premium 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 Section 4.0 titled,
“Choosing A Location” (page 9).
Jacuzzi 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.

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.
3.4
General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Jacuzzi spa is equipped with a “state-of-the-art” equipment
system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective
equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must be installed
properly to ensure dependable usage. Please contact your local Jacuzzi
dealer or local building department should you have any questions
regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi spas are equipped with
a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided on the
surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door (Figure
and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5
feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²)
solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.

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 supporting
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 over time. We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete
slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood deck-
ing is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that it meets the
requirements outlined above.
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.
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 outdoor installation to provide full access to the
entire spa. Please take this into consideration when placing the spa
in a deck or enclosed by a surrounding.
•
•
Consider locating your spa away from any reflective surface or glass
to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt.
Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat
on the intended foundation.
4.2
Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
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, bac-
teria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be pres-
ent in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building
contractor to determine your specific needs if installing your
hot tub 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.
Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat
on the intended foundation.

Spa Fill Up Procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that
step.
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 filter cover, then remove filter cartridge as outlined in
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket.
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. Water that is too soft can be corrosive
to metal components.
!
•
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 the filter bucket 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 the filter cartridge. Note: DO NOT overtighten
filter cartridge, finger tight only!
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up
sequence (Sec. 10.0, page 25). The heater and filter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel LED
flashes water temperature and “COL” or “ICE” this is normal, refer to
Note: “COL” will only appear when the spa is in Economy mode.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when adding
start-up chemicals in step 5.

5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized
Jacuzzi dealer. See Section 13.0 “Water Quality Maintenance” (page
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 of no less than 1.0 ppm free chlorine
or 2.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain
a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside
cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized, perform the
decontamination procedure steps 9-15 on the following page.
Note: The “decontamination procedure” steps 9-16 should also be used
been sitting without power for an extended period.
7. Set Spa To Heat
To warm spa water to a comfortable temperature, follow these
steps:
•
The LED display on the control panel displays the actual
temperature of the spa water. Press either the COOLER (
) or
WARMER (
seconds. If you want the water to heat to a different temperature,
simply press COOLER ( ) or WARMER ( ) within 5 seconds.
) button once to display the “set” temperature for 5
The set temperature increases or decreases by one degree each
time one of these buttons is pressed.
The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the
thermostat setting is achieved.
•
Important Heater Details:
•
•
•
•
•
The maximum water temperature setting for your spa is 104°F
(40°C) and the minimum setting is 65°F (18°C).
For North American spas connected to a 40 amp service, jets pump
#1 and jets pump #2 must be turned off to operate the heater.
For Export spas connected to a 20 amp service, jets pump #1 and
jets pump #2 must be turned off to operate the heater.
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 the programmed “set
temperature,” then turns off. The heater will reactivate after the
water cools to approximately 1.5° below the set temperature.

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 9-16)
Steps 9-16 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable
after performing steps 1-6 above. Disregard steps 9-15 below if sanitizer
levels remain stable after performing steps 1-6 above (refer to the inside
cover of the manual).
9. Add 2.5 ounces (71 g) of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons (378
Liters) 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 chemicals may damage components within
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

Selecting Desired Massage Action
All models incorporate a massage selector valve that
allows you to customize the massage and performance
by diverting water between various jet systems within the
spa. Simply turn valve to positions A, B or C to divert
water pressure to various jet groups.
B
C
A
Note: The valve is intended to operate in positions A (Combo), B, or C
for optimum performance. It is considered normal for sound levels within
the valve to increase between these positions due to the large amounts
of water flowing through it. For optimum filtration benefits, always leave
this valve in position A when the spa is covered and select positions B or
C for maximum jet performance during spa use.
10.7
Waterfall Feature
The waterfall feature allows you to independently control it for a
customized soothing effect. The waterfall is on when the circulation pump
is on. The JETS 1 or CLEARRAY buttons will also activate the waterfall
feature.
Waterfall Operation Details:
A. Push thumb wheel on top of waterfall to the left
(while in spa) to start or increase flow.
B. Push thumb wheel on top of waterfall to the right
(while in spa) to slow or turn flow off.
Note: When the waterfall is in the OFF position, some water could still
flow through.

Air Controls
Certain jet systems have their own “toggle” on/off air control.
Each control introduces air into the water lines that supply
specific jet groups. Simply press any air control button

Primary Filtration Menu
During the primary filtration cycle, the circulation pump and CLEARRAY
are activated. The spa is programmed with a factory default setting but
can be programmed to any of the cycle settings listed below. These
cycles allow the circulation pump to run for preset amounts of time per
day, in addition to the normal operation. Should the circulation pump
activate outside of a preset cycle (except for PF0 and PF6), e.g. when
heating, that run time will reduce the length of the next cycle.
Note: To set a time for the primary filtration cycle to begin, simply turn
power on to the spa two minutes prior to the desired time. You can also
press the Warmer, Cooler and Jets Pump 1 buttons simultaneously for 2
seconds to restart the spa once power has been provided.
No filtration

In extreme bitter cold weather we recommend you program

A. For Models J335 to J385
Two minutes after power is applied to the spa, an automatic primary
filtration cycles begins. The circulation pump is activated and set to run
for 8 hours a day (factory default). The circulation pump draws water
through the skimmer bag and one of two filter cartridges to effectively
remove small debris in your spa. During the primary filtration cycle, the
circulation pump and CLEARRAY are activated. The factory default
setting is PF2. This setting is programmable.
Note: The circulation pump also supplies heated water to the spa when
the heater turns on. Any time the circulation pump runs outside of
a programmed cycle (except for PF0 and PF6), that run time will
reduce the length of the next cycle.

To remove larger debris missed by the primary filtration system, the
control system can activate a secondary filtration system. These cycles
utilize Jets Pump 1 and the second filter cartridge to quickly “skim” the
water of large debris and minimize their “bath-tub ring” effect.
B. For Models J315 and J325
Your new spa includes a 24-hour primary filtration system, which
filters the water continuously (factory default). The circulation pump
draws water through the skimmer bag and one of the two filter cartridges
to effectively remove small debris in your spa. The factory default setting
is PF6. This setting should not be altered. Running the circulation pump
less than the factory recommended time will result in issues with water
quality maintenance.
Note: The 24-hour primary filtration system also supplies heated water to
the spa when the heater turns on.
To remove larger debris missed by the 24-hour primary filtration system,
you can program a secondary filtration system. The secondary filtration
cycles use Jets Pump 1 and the second filter cartridge to quickly “skim”

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
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
Never operate or use the spa if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer
assembly 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
12.1
Cleaning The Filters
Your Jacuzzi spa is equipped with a skimmer bag and two high
performance pleated filter cartridges located under the filter cover. The
circulation pump drawing water through the skimmer bag and filter
cartridge filters fine debris. Large debris is filtered by jets pump 1 drawing
water through the skimmer bag and second filter cartridge during an
automated Secondary Filtration Cycle or when jets pump 1 is manually
activated during spa use. Combined, both filters provide unsurpassed
water quality by trapping surface oils and suspended particles.

An optional chemical feeder is available through your
authorized Jacuzzi dealer that installs under the filter cap
(#2472-673). Always remove the chemical feeder cap and
feeder (when used) during the filter cleaning process by
turning the cap handle counterclockwise. Reinstall the cap
and feeder back onto the filter cartridge after the filter
cleaning process is complete. It is recommended that latex
gloves be used to avoid touching the chemical feeder
during the filter cleaning process.

Periodically, the filter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to
remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning
followed by soaking the filter overnight in a plastic container filled with
a solution of water and specially formulated filter cleanser available
from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. The average life expectancy of
each filter is approximately two years with proper care and water quality
maintenance. Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your
authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
12.2
Draining and Refilling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The
frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of
use, 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 damage
to the spa’s 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 outdoors,
freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment, see “WINTER-
leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:

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.
12.5
Vinyl Cover Care and Maintenance
Your Jacuzzi cover has a vinyl encasement. This vinyl encasement is
attractive and durable. Monthly cleaning and conditioning is strongly
recommended to maintain and increase the longevity of your cover.
A. To Clean and Condition the Vinyl Cover
1. Use a garden hose to loosen debris and dirt.
2. Using a large sponge or a soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap
and scrub the vinyl top. Rinse clean and do not allow soap to dry on
cover. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover.
3. Please check with your Jacuzzi Dealer for recommended cover
care and conditioning products. Condition using non-petroleum
based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple and threads/stitching
from drying out. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong
detergents. Do not use products that contain silicone or alcohol.
B. Additional Care and Maintenance Instructions:
1. Debris can accumulate on the spa cover. Removal of snow or other
debris will help to avoid breakage of the foam cores.
2. Be sure to lock the cover straps to secure the cover from unwanted
or accidental entry.
3. Do not place heavy objects on the vinyl.
4. Do not walk, sit or stand on the cover.
5. Do not drag or use the flaps/skirt or the cover lock straps to remove
the cover.
6. Use only recommended cover lift systems.
7. Use only chemicals and cleaners recommended by Jacuzzi.

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 32°F (0°C), program the primary filtration
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 HOT TUB!
1. Turn off power to the spa.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position
4. Turn the waterfall valve(s) to the open position to allow the water in
5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use
6. 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.
7. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the foot well, such as a wet/dry
vacuum.
8. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and
locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page
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.
9. Loosen the hose clamp on the circulation pump intake behind the
back and forth while pulling outward). Tip hose down and allow to
drain, then reinstall hose and clamp.
10. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEARRAY® system and pull hose
off of CLEARRAY fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling
downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain. Then reinstall hose
and clamp. Remove the cover of the CLEARRAY system to access
the UV bulb and quartz tube. Remove and store the UV bulb in a

safe location. Remove and dry off the quartz tube then reinstall it.
Depending on the length of time, consider replacing the UV bulb
when you resume use of your hot tub.
11. Reinstall synthetic cabinet side panel and cover spa so that no
casual moisture can enter into it.
Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions
regarding winter use or winterizing.
12.9
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 authorized Jacuzzi
dealer for guidance before attempting to restart your spa under these
conditions.
13.0 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.
WARNING: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN WATER QUALITY
WILL:
!
• Increase risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an
infection bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
.
• Damage the equipment, components and spa shell, which
are not covered under the hot tub’s warranty.
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.

13.1
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 pH. 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 the sanitizer.
13.2
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
OR ENTRAPMENT!
!
Never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the
cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and
animals!
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for
any reason! These chemicals may damage components within
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash and void
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

CLEARRAY® (Ultraviolet) Water Purification System
CLEARRAY Water Purification System is exclusive
technology utilizing natural ultraviolet technology to
eliminate waterborne bacteria, viruses, and algae in
portable spas. The ultraviolet light otherwise known as
UV-C or germicidal light inactivates the microorganisms
disrupting the DNA so that it cannot reproduce and is
considered lifeless. CLEARRAY is plumbed inline with your

and heater it is then directed though the CLEARRAY system.
Water passes through an ultraviolet light energy that treats and
disinfects the water. The water is then pumped back into the
spa giving you crystal clear water instantly. The system has a
ballast that is the power supply for the purification system; it

has two LED indicator lights the green indicating incoming power flow
and the red indicating the system is properly working. CLEARRAY is
standard for all models.
Note: The CLEARRAY System only runs when the circulation pump
is running and shuts off when either jets pump is manually activated
during spa use. The system will remain off for 5 minutes after both jets
pumps time out or are manually turned off, then resume operations if the
circulation pump is programmed to run.
After a year the bulb must be replaced. If the UV timer has been
programmed correctly a message will appear on the LED display when

14.0 Error Conditions/Error Messages
Your spa has a self-diagnostic control system. The system will
automatically display the following if a problem is detected. Always
insist on genuine Jacuzzi replacement parts.
14.1
Summer Logic
When the actual spa water temperature reaches 2°F (1°C)
above the set temperature, the spa goes into “summer logic.”
The circulation pump will turn off automatically, if running, to
avoid adding additional heat to the water, eventually creating
an overheat condition. This setting is not user-programmable.
Note: Summer logic does not take effect until the spa water temperature
reaches 95°F (35°C). This condition is more likely in excessively hot
weather. Remember, the spa’s ability to cool is directly affected by
the ambient temperature. An excessively hot ambient temperature
may prevent the spa from cooling down because it’s fully insulated
construction is designed to retain heat and minimize operating costs.
14.2
Panel Displays COL
Cool Condition - Temperature has dropped 20°F (11°C)
below the current set temperature. Jets pump 1 and the
heater have been activated to bring the temperature within 15°F (8°C) of
the set temperature. No corrective action is required!
Note: This condition is common during first time fill ups or during refills
since tap water is often very cold. “COL” will only appear when the spa is
in Economy mode.
14.3
Panel Displays ICE
Freeze Protection - A potential freeze condition has been
detected. No action is required. Jets Pump 1 and heater will
activate to circulate and warm water through the plumbing until spa is out
of danger. See “Winterizing” (page 42).

Panel Flashes FL1 or FL2
A flashing “FL1” display means the flow switch is
malfunctioning open, the filter cartridge is excessively dirty or
an “air lock” condition has occurred at the circulation pump
intake. A flashing “FL2” display means the flow switch is
malfunctioning closed. In either case, the spa heater will deactivate and
jets pump #1 may also deactivate. To correct condition perform the
following:
1. Verify water level is above all jets but below lowest pillow. Add water
if necessary.
3. Purge “air lock” from circulation pump intake by removing filter
cartridge. Hold your garden hose over the filter cartridge wall fitting
while using a rag as a seal around hose end. Ask a helper to turn
