1.0 Important Spa Owner Information
Your Jacuzzi® Premium 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 temperatures for
an extended period is subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by
exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered by warranty. We recommend
that you always keep the spa full of water when it is exposed to direct sun-
light 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 6).
Jacuzzi Premium constantly strives to offer the finest spas available, therefore
modifications and enhancements may be made which affect the specifica-
tions, illustrations and/or instructions contained herein.

M. WARNING: The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of
fatal hyperthermia in spas.
3.2 HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A description of
the causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 °F (37 °C).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase
in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
A
Unawareness of impending hazard;
B. Failure to perceive heat;
C. Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
D. Physical inability to exit spa;
E. Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
F. Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
3.3 CAUTIONS
1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pres-
sure, and any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant women,
the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before using a spa.

2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has stated that the water
temperature in a spa should not exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Immersion in
water in excess of 104 °F (40 °C) can be hazardous to your health.
3. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures at
higher temperatures can cause high body temperature. Symptoms may
include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced awareness.
These effects could possibly result in drowning.
4. Do not use the spa under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or other
drugs. Use of the spa under these conditions may lead to serious conse-
quences.
5. Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa. Enter and
exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
6. Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never operate
any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you are wet unless
such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
7. Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain
safe water and prevent possible damage to spa components.
8. Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use.
This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering the spa
and keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions. There is no rep-
resentation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks will prevent
access to the spa.
3.4 GENERAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Jacuzzi Premium spa is equipped with a "state-of-the-art" equip-
ment system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective equip-
ment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must be installed properly to
insure dependable usage. Please contact your dealer or local building
department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi Premium spas are
equipped with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is pro-
vided on the surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door
(Figure B, Page 10) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this
point 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 (8.4mm2)
solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature. Before
installing this spa, check with the local building department to insure instal-
lation conforms to local building codes.

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 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, dam-
age to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused by improp-
er 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 (10cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is con-
structed so that it meets the requirements outlined above. The spa must be
installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away from the spa. 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. 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 the cabinet side panels and access to the jets components,
especially on the side with the equipment bay doors.
4.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you take
into consideration:
1. The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather).
2. 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).
3. The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds
could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
4. A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in
lowered operation and maintenance costs).
5. 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.
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper ventilation.
When the spa is in use, considerable amounts of moisture will escape. This
can damage certain surfaces over time. If you have any questions regarding
the placement or installation of your spa, consult your authorized Jacuzzi
Premium dealer.

7.0 Start-Up Instructions
Congratulations! You are now all set to get your new spa ready to use. Simply
follow this step-by-step procedure and, before long, you will be enjoying your
first glorious experience in your Jacuzzi Premium spa. For best results, read
each step in its entirety before proceeding with that step.
7.1 Filling the Spa
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
and wax available from your dealer prior to filling the first time.
Remove the filter cover, then remove and clean the strainer bag and both
filter cartridges as outlined in section 12.1 (Page 33-35). Place the end of
your garden hose into the exposed pump #1 filter wall fitting without a
mesh grill. Fill the spa half way, then place end of your garden hose into
the circulation pump filter wall fitting with the mesh grill. Continue filling
spa until the water level is 1 inch below the lowest pillow and and above all
jets. Do not over fill. 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. Or, you may fill entirely
with hard water if you use a special water additive available from your
Jacuzzi Premium dealer. Always refill spa through both filter wall fittings
to purge trapped air from pump intakes. Failure to do so may cause air to
be trapped in either pump #1 or the circulation pump’s intake (air lock),
preventing either pump from circulating water. After filling, make sure
both filters are installed properly before applying power to the spa. Refer
to section 12.1 (Page 33-35) “Cleaning the Filters” for specific cleaning
and installation instructions.
7.2 Safety Check
Open the wood cabinet access panel and check all pump unions to make sure
they are hand tight. Loosening can occur during shipping and handling.
7.3 Turn on Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker. The heater and circulation
pump will automatically activate. If the control panel LCD flashes water tem-
perature and “COOL” or “ICE”, the pump 1 will also activate in low speed. If
this occurs, refer to page 41-42 for additional information.
7.4 Initiating Water Circulation
Depress the JETS 1 sensor pad on the control panel twice to
activate pump #1 in high speed and initiate maximum water
flow to certain jets.

7.5 Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your Jacuzzi Premium
Dealer. Refer to section 13.0 (Page 39) for general guidance.
7.6 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 and the capacity of your spa. Smaller spas heat at a rate of
approximately 8 to 10 degrees per hour; larger spas heat at about 4 to 6
degrees per hour.
WARNING: RISK OF INJURY. Always check water temperature
carefully before entering spa.

9.0 Operating Instructions
Your Jacuzzi Premium spa has a touch-sensitive control panel, diverter valves,
and air control knobs located on the top rim of the spa (Page 14). These con-
trols let you operate many of the special functions of your Jacuzzi Premium
spa. By familiarizing yourself with the following information, you will be able
to gain the full benefit afforded by the various functions of your spa.
9.1 Set Spa To Heat
To warm spa water, follow these steps:
1. The LCD display on the control panel displays the actual
temperature of the spa water. Press either the WARMER
( + ) or COOLER ( - ) sensor pad once to display the “set
temperature” for 5 seconds. If you want the water to heat
to a different temperature, simply press WARMER ( + ) or
COOLER ( - ) within 5 seconds. The set temperature advances or
decreases by one degree each time one of these sensor pads is pressed.
2. The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the
thermostat setting is achieved.
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).
• If spa is powered by the minimum required amp service (Page 7-8)
turn off all high speed pumps to operate heater. Note: jets Pump 2
and J-380 Pump 3 run only in high speed.
• 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.”
9.2 View
Pressing this sensor pad inverts the main four-digit display on
the command center’s LCD screen to allow easy reading from
either inside or outside the spa.
9.3 Light
The spa light offers 6 constant color variations and a unique
random mode for enhanced spa enjoyment. Press the LIGHT
sensor pad once to turn the spa light on in “Random” mode,
Page 17
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
then repeatedly press the sensor pad to turn the light off or to select one of
6 constant colors illustrated below.

You must press the LIGHT sensor pad within 5 seconds between each “off”
or “color” step in the light sequence to prevent it from resetting. Pressing
the sensor pad after 5 seconds restarts the sequence at “Random” mode.
This mode automatically changes the light color every 8 to 20 seconds.
Note: Any time the spa light is manually turned on, it will automatically turn
off after approximately 1 hour. If you desire more light at this time, simply
turn the light back on.
9.4 Activate Pump 1
The sensor pad labeled JETS 1 controls the 2-speed pump #1.
Pressing this sensor cycles pump #1 from off, to low speed, to
high speed, and back to off.
9.5 Activate Pump 2/Pump 3
On two pump J-350, J-360, J-370 models, the sensor pad
labeled JETS 2 controls the high-speed pump #2. Pressing this
sensor cycles pump #2 on and off.
On the three pump J-380 model, this sensor pad controls both pump #2 and
pump #3 in the following sequence:
A) Press once to turn on pump #2 in high-speed;
B) Press a second time to turn on pump #3 in high-speed;
C) Press a third time to turn off pump 2;
D) Press a fourth time to turn off pump #3.
Auto Turn Off — Anytime a pump has been manually turned on, it will
automatically turn off after approximately 20 minutes. If at this time you
desire more jet operation you may simply turn the pump(s) back on.
9.6 Selecting Desired Massage Action
Your Jacuzzi Premium spa is equipped to allow you to customize the massage
action you desire. Each model incorporates a massage selector that allow you
Page 18
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
to
customize the massage and performance by diverting water
between various jet systems. Simply turn massage selector
to position A (Combo), B, or C to divert water pressure to var-
ious jet groups. Note: The massage selector valve(s) is
designed to operate in positions A (Combo), B, and C for opti-
B
C
A
mum performance. It is considered normal for sound levels within the valve
to vary between positions due to the large amounts of water flowing through
it! For optimum filtration benefits, leave the valve in position A when spa is
covered. Select position B or C for maximum jet performance during spa use.
9.7 Adjusting Individual Jet Flow
The water flow to the individual jets in your spa can be
increased or decreased by rotating the outside jet face (Except
Mini PowerPro Jets). Note: Always keep at least 6 adjustable
jets open at all times.
9.8 Adjusting PowerPro Jets
With the nozzles of the PowerPro Jets positioned straight
ahead, the jet stream will be stationary. Pushing the nozzle to
one side causes the jet nozzle to rotate, moving the jet stream
in a circular pattern.
9.9 Waterfall Feature
The waterfall feature allows you to independently control it for a customized
soothing effect. The JETS 1 button activates the waterfall feature. Then,
each fall is individually adjusted moving the control lever next to it forward or
backwards. To turn on, move lever inward. To turn off, move lever outward.
9.10 Air Controls
Certain jet systems have their own “push-button” air control.
Each control introduces air into the water lines that supply that
specific jet group. Simply press any air control button (once) to
open; then press a second time to close. To minimize heat loss,
all air controls should be closed when the spa is not in use.
9.11 Optional Jacuzzi Premium Audio System
Spas equipped with the optional Jacuzzi Premium Stereo
System offer enhanced spa enjoyment. These models include
an integrated AM/FM/CD receiver with two high-quality
marine speakers for unsurpassed sound quality and long-life.
Both speakers located on spa corners (Sec. 8.3, page 14) are designed for
manual extension and retraction. To expose each speaker for audio, simply
Page 19

10.0 Automatic Filtration Cycles
Your new spa includes a programmable 24-hour circulation pump which
filters the water continuously while using less energy than a common 100
watt light bulb! The circulation pump draws water through one of two filter
cartridges to effectively remove small debris in your spa. Note: the 24-hour
circulation pump system also supplies heated water to the spa when the
heater turns on. See page 31 for programming details.
The control system activates a programmable “standard” or “economy”
skimming/heating cycles to remove larger debris missed by the 24-hour
circulation pump filtration system. These cycles utilize pump#1 and the
skimmer bag and second filter cartridge to quickly clear “skim” the water of
large debris and minimize their “bath-tub ring” effect. Apart from their
skimming benefit, each mode also effects the operation of your spa’s
heater. Refer to sections 10.1 and 10.2 below for additional information.
10.1 Standard Skimming/Heating Mode
Standard skimming/heating mode is typically selected by customers in cold
climates where heatup times are extended due to lower ambient tempera-
tures. In this mode, the water temperature is regulated by the set tempera-
ture, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater which turns on as needed. After
the programmed set temperature is reached, the heater turns off and the
circulation pump continues to operate 24-hours to filter and clean your spa
(unless programmed otherwise).
10.2 Economy Skimming/Heating Mode
Economy skimming/heating mode is typically selected by customers in
warm climates where heatup times are minimized due to higher ambient
temperatures. In this mode, the water temperature is regulated by the set
temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater only while a pro-
grammed skimming/heating cycle is running (unless in summer logic; see
note below). Note: this mode consumes less energy than the standard
mode outlined above.
10.3 Selecting Standard or Economy Skimming/Heating Mode
Press the MODE button to select either “Standard” or “Economy” skim-
ming/heating mode. The control panel’s indicator on the right side of the
LCD changes to indicate which mode is selected. When an automatic
skimming/heating cycle activates, the LCD screen displays the following
message:
FILTER
CYCLE
ON
Page 28
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Summer Logic: In warm weather, the water temperature in the hot tub may
exceed the set temperature. This condition may occur due to heat transfer-
ence from the main pump and 24-hour circulation pump. If the water tem-
perature is higher than 95°F (35°C) and rises two degrees above the set tem-
perature, a “Summer Logic” condition occurs that deactivates the circulation
pump and ozonator (if equipped). This safety feature cannot be altered!
The circulation pump and ozonator will remain off until the water tempera-
ture cools to the set temperature (except between12AM-2AM when the cir-
culation pumps runs for it’s mandatory 2-hour “clean-up” cycle). To help pre-
vent a “Summer Logic” condition, it may be necessary to reduce skim-
ming/heating cycle and/or circulation pump run times in warm weather.
10.4 Preset Skimming/Heating Cycles
Your hot tub comes with four 30-minute skimming/heating cycles already
programmed in, beginning at 6:00 a.m., noon, 6:00 p.m., and midnight.
You can easily change the start time, or the cycle length for any of these
cycles to suit your individual needs by following the steps in section 11.2,
page 30.
10.5 Clean-Up Cycle
The clean-up cycle is once per day in both Standard and Economy mode at
12:00 PM for two minutes. This is not user programmable. Pump #2 (and
J-380 pump #3) and blower activate for one minute to circulate any water
in the plumbing. After 1 minute they go off, then Pump #1 turns on and
runs for 1 minute. If the skimming/heating cycle is also set at 12:00 PM,
pump #1 will continue to run for the duration of the cycle.

11.0 Programming Instructions
11.1 Adjusting Time of Day
The control system remembers the time of day even in the event of a
prolonged power outage. However, it may occasionally be necessary to reset
the time of day. For example: if you are not in the Pacific Time Zone you will
want to reset the time for your own time zone. (The system will automatical-
ly adjust to and from daylight savings time.) To accomplish this, press DIS-
PLAY, MODE and DISPLAY within five seconds each. A number represent-
ing the hour will be displayed, followed by AM or PM. The hour will advance
or decrease each time WARMER ( + ) or COOLER ( - ) is pressed within five
seconds. Then, press DISPLAY again to display the minutes. Adjust the min-
utes as necessary by pressing WARMER ( + ) or COOLER ( - ) After 5 sec-
onds, the display will return to normal.
11.2 Changing Skimming/Heating Cycles
The control system allows you to easily adjust two separate aspects of each
of the skimming/heatng cycle: 1) the time of day at which each cycle begins;
and 2) the duration of each cycle.
To make adjustments, first press CYCLE to enter the skimming/heating cycle
programming mode. The LCD screen will display the following in the upper right
corner:
ADJUST
FILTER
CYCLE
START TIME
START TIME
This means the system is ready to accept your changes to the start time for
skimming/heating cycle number one. Simultaneously, the large four-digit
display in the center of the screen displays the currently programmed start
time for that cycle.
At this point, you have four options. You may:
1. Press WARMER ( + ) or COOLER ( - ) to adjust the start time in incre-
ments of 30 minutes.
2. Press CYCLE to display and adjust each subsequent skimming/heating
cycle start time. With each press, the currently programmed status will be
shown in the large four digit display. To adjust any display value, simply
press WARMER ( + ) or COOLER ( - ).
3. Press SELECT to move down the menu from Start Time to Duration.
Page 30
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
With each press, the currently programmed duration will be shown in the
large four-digit display. Press WARMER ( + ) or COOLER ( - ) to adjust
duration in increments of 15 minutes.
4. Press DISPLAY to make the skimming/heating cycle programming char-
acters disappear from the screen and the main display return to showing
the water temperature. If no sensor is pressed within 30 seconds, the
screen automatically returns to the standard water temperature display.
At any time, you may check the programming of any aspect of any skim-
ming/heating cycle by first pressing CYCLE then moving through the menu
by pressing either CYCLE or SELECT. The programming is changed only by
pressing WARMER ( + ) or COOLER ( - ) during this process.
11.3 Programming The Change Filter Reminder
You new spa is equipped with a programmable “Change
Filter” reminder that appears on the control panel display
after a specified number of days. It is designed to remind
CHANGE
FILTER
you to clean and/or replace your filter cartridge(s) on a regular basis but
does not affect spa operation in any way. This reminder must be reset at
each filter cleaning interval. It offers a selectable range from 10-120 days
or can be disabled. We recommend an initial setting of 30 days, after
which you can easily determine weather you need to shorten or lengthen
its interval by visually inspecting your filter cartridge. Refer to section 12.1
(page 33) for filter cleaning recommendations.
Programming Instructions
(1) Press the CYCLE sensor six times. The main display reads “FIL”
indicating the “Change Filter” display program has been accessed.
(2) Press SELECT sensor once to display currently programmed duration or
days elapsed since last filter cleaning interval.
(3) Press UP or DOWN sensor to change duration as follows:
0 - 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 - 60 - 70 - 80 - 90 - 100 - 110 - 120 - OFF
(4) Press DISPLAY sensor once to save changes and return to the
standard water temperature display. Note: If no sensor is pressed
within 30 seconds, the screen will automatically return to the standard
water temperature display.
11.4 Programming Circulation Pump Run Time
The control system allows you to easily adjust two separate aspects of
circulation pump operation:
1. The time of day (start time) the circulation pump begins operating.
2. The length of time (duration) the circulation pump operates.

12.0 Spa Maintenance
Proper and regular maintenance of your spa will help it retain its beauty and
performance. Your authorized Jacuzzi Premium dealer can supply you with
all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to
accomplish this.
12.1 Cleaning The Filters
Your Jacuzzi Premium spa is equipped with a skimmer bag and two high-
performance filter cartridges located inside the filter skimmer. Fine debris is
filtered by the circulation pump drawing water through the skimmer bag and
circulation pump cartridge. Larger debris is filtered by the 2-speed pump #1
drawing water through the skimmer bag and main pump filter cartridge
during normal operation and at each skimming/heating cycle. The skimmer
bag and filter cartridges provide unsurpassed water quality by trapping sur-
face and suspended particles.
All models also include filters on their footwell suction covers (Page 14)
that prevent debris from entering pump 2 (and J-380 pump 3), when
operating. These filters must remain in place to protect the pump 2
(and J-380 pump 3) plumbing network(s). They should be cleaned every 2
months, or when weak pump performance is observed.

To ensure optimum performance, clean and reuse the skimmer bag and both
cartridges once a month, or as needed. ALWAYS TURN POWER TO SPA
OFF BEFORE CLEANING THE FILTER CARTRIDGES! Refer to the filter
cleaning/replacement procedure below:

Bubbles
Submerge both filter cartridges in
spa. Tilt threaded end upward to
remove trapped air bubbles from
each cartridge, then keep both
cartridges submerged for step H.

J
*Note: to maximize filter life, switch filter cartridge positions at each cleaning.
Periodically, both filter cartridges will need a more thorough cleaning to remove
imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as illustrated above
(Step F), followed by soaking the filter overnight in a plastic container filled with
a solution of water and a specially formulated filter cleanser available from your
Jacuzzi Premium dealer. We also recommend switching your two filter car-
tridges during each cleaning to maximize life. The average life expectancy of
each filter cartridges is approximately two years with proper care, rotation, and
water quality maintenance. Replacement cartridges
may be purchased from your Jacuzzi Premium dealer.
12.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The fre-
quency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use, num-
ber 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.
WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage
to the spa’s components, turn off power to the spa at the cir-
cuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on
until your spa has been refilled.
Page 35
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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 “WINTERIZ-
ING”, page 38). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave
the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.

order to close drain prior to refilling spa.
After refilling, turn on power to the spa and
follow the steps listed under “Start-Up
Instructions.” Always fill your spa through
both filter wall fittings (page 11).

12.3 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, con-
sult your authorized Jacuzzi Premium 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.
12.4 Pillow Care
Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water using a cloth or
soft-bristle brush. To maintain water resistance and luster, apply a quality vinyl condi-
tioner once a month. Always remove the pillows when adding chemical shock treat-
ment to the spa water. The pillows can be returned to the spa when the sanitizer read-
ing drops below 5 ppm.
CAUTION: Never attempt to remove the pillows by pulling on them! The
pillows utilize a bolt-on design that prohibits removal without tools.
Page 36
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
To remove pillows:
1. Grasp center pillow insert (A) with
finger tips and gently pry outward from
pillow base (C).
2. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen
and remove mounting bolts (B) from
pillow base.
3. Assemble in reverse order after
cleaning. DO NOT overtighten
pillow mounting bolts!
12.5 Maintaining the Cover
Using the Jacuzzi Premium insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will
significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and maintenance require-
ments. 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 devel-
oped for Jacuzzi Premium 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.
12.6 Maintaining The Wood Cabinet
With time and exposure to the elements, the wood on your spa will tend to lose its
new appearance. Protecting or reviving the wood surfaces is a fairly simple process.
Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will help smooth any roughness and regular
applications of a penetrating wood preservative will enhance and protect the rich-
ness of the wood. A specially formulated wood stain available from your Jacuzzi
Premium dealer is ideal for this.
NOTE: Do not apply varnish, shellac or other surface sealants to the
wood. These tend to react with the chemicals in the wood and the UV
rays of the sun, causing yellowing, flaking and peeling.
12.7 Maintaining The Optional Synthetic Cabinet
Your new spa’s synthetic wood cabinet requires little or no maintenance of
any kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild soap
solution.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any reason
since this action may induce an electrical short in the spa’s
electrical equipment.

12.8 Winterizing
Your Jacuzzi Premium spa is designed to automatically protect itself against
freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing tempera-
tures, 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 (-29 °C), reset the filter cycles for 24-hour operation to protect the spa
(i.e. four 6-hour cycles). 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.
For expert winterization of your spa, contact your authorized Jacuzzi
Premium dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by tak-
ing the following steps:
1. Follow the directions on page 35 for draining the spa.
2. 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.
3. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available to
remove any remaining water from the footwell.
4. Turn off power to the spa.
5. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain plugs
in the front of the pump(s) (Figure-A, Page 10). 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.
6. Loosen the hose clamp on the circulation pump intake behind the con-
trol box (Figure-A, Page 10) and pull the hose off (twist hose back and
forth while pulling outward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then
reinstall hose and clamp.
7. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover spa so that no casual moisture
can enter into it.
Consult your Authorized Jacuzzi Premium 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
Page 38
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
spa from operating properly and possibly damaging the equipment. We rec-
ommend you consult your dealer for guidance before attempting to re-start
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 chem-
istry involved is a balance of several factors. There is no simple formula, and
there is no avoiding it. A careless attitude in regard to water maintenance will
result in poor and potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even
damage to your spa. For specific guidance on maintaining water quality, con-
sult your Authorized Jacuzzi Premium dealer who can recommend appropri-
ate chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your spa.
CAUTION: Never store spa chemicals inside the spa's equipment bay.
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 alka-
line and below which is acidic. In spa water, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
MAINTAIN A SLIGHTLY ALKALINE CONDITION OF 7.2 to 7.8. 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.
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. Many other additives are available for your spa.
Some are necessary to compensate for out-of-balance water, some aid in
Page 39
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
cosmetic water treatment and others simply alter the feel or smell of the
water. Your Authorized Jacuzzi Premium dealer can advise you on the use
of these additives.
CAUTION: Do not use chlorine tablets (Trichlor) in your spa. This chemical
can have an extremely corrosive effect on certain materials in the spa.
Damage caused by use of this chemical, or improper use of any chemicals,
is not covered under the spa's warranty.
13.3 Optional CD Ozone Water Maintenance System
If you have elected to have your spa equipped with the optional Jacuzzi
Premium CD Ozone water purification system you will find that your water
stays fresh and clear with significantly less chemical sanitizer usage. You will
also probably be able to go longer between complete spa drainings. The
CD ozone unit operates in conjunction with the circulation pump.
13.4 Summer Logic
When the actual spa water temperature reaches up to 2 °F
(1 °C) above the set temperature, the spa goes into
“summer logic.” The circulation pump will turn off automat-
ically to avoid adding additional heat to the water, eventual-
ly creating an overheat condition. This setting is not
user-programmable.
Note: The summer logic does not take effect until the spa water tempera-
ture 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 to minimize operating costs.

14.0 Troubleshooting - Display Messages
There are a number of unique functions designed into your Jacuzzi Premium
spa to protect it from damage and/or to aid in troubleshooting. Following is
a listing of all the possible messages along with their meanings:
MESSAGE
MEANING
Overheat Protection (Heater is deactivated, pump’s
low speed is activated). Water temperature is
above acceptable limits. Do not enter the water!
When the actual water temperature is approxi-
mately 2 °F (1 °C) above the set temperature, the
circulation pump will stop operating to reduce
(frictional) heating. Remove spa cover to speed
cooling (CAUTION! Never leave spa uncovered
when children are present!) See “WATER IS
TOO HOT” on page 44. If condition persists,
contact your authorized Jacuzzi Premium dealer.
If the spa water is more than 20 °F (-7 °C) cooler
than the temperature setpoint, the low speed
pump #1 and heater will automatically activate to
provide freeze protection. The spa will stay in this
mode until the water temperature reaches 15 °F
(-9 °C) below the set temperature. No corrective
action is necessary.
FLOW SWITCH (Heater is deactivated. Pump may
also be deactivated). Proper flow of water is inhibit-
ed or a flow switch has malfunctioned. Check for
proper water level and for a clogged circulation
pump filter cartridge (Sec. 12.1, Page 33-35).
Contact your dealer or service center.
