Attention New Spa Owner!

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Jacuzzi® spa! The following is a list of

automated functions performed by your spa. These functions are listed below in an

attempt to alleviate any operational concerns you may have during the ﬁrst 24-hours

of ownership! Also listed below are important maintenance recommendations you

should observe on a regular basis to protect your new investment.

Automated Operations

Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the ﬁrst ﬁltration/heat-

ing cycle turns on pump 1. With models J-270 & J-280 an automatic ﬁve minute

“blow-out” function also activates pump 2 for a period of ﬁve minutes to ﬂush all

lines. Then, after ﬁve minutes, pump 2 turns off and pump 1 continues to operate

for the duration of the cycle. Note: This function only occurs during the ﬁrst ﬁltra-

tion/heating cycle each day.

Maintain Healthy Spa Water

Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters as

deﬁned by the Association of Pool And Spa Professionals/USA:

pH 7.4-7.6

Free Chlorine 3.0-4.0 ppm

Free Bromine 2.0-4.0 ppm

Total Alkalinity 100-120 ppm

Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm

Always maintain your spas ﬁlter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer

page 33 “Water Quality Maintenance” for additional information.

Required Filter Maintenance

Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water ﬁltration system that provides

unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all times, you

should clean the ﬁlter cartridge once a month, or earlier as necessary. See page 27 for

detailed ﬁlter cartridge cleaning/replacement instructions.

Required Water Replacement

You should replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a

number of variables including frequency of use, number of users, and attention paid

to water quality maintenance. 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 param-

eters. See page 33 for additional information.

1.0 Important Spa Owner Information

Your Jacuzzi®J-200 series 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 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 7).

Jacuzzi constantly strives to offer the ﬁnest spas available, therefore modi-

ﬁcations and enhancements may be made which affect the speciﬁcations,

illustrations and/or instructions contained herein.

3.0 Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this

product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to con-

nect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm²) solid copper conductor between this

unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment,

metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.

DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exer-

cised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure

that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.

DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction ﬁttings in this spa are sized to

match the speciﬁc water ﬂow created by the pump. Should the need arise to

replace the suction ﬁttings or the pump, be sure that the ﬂow rates are com-

patible. Never operate the spa if the suction ﬁttings are broken or missing.

Never replace a suction ﬁtting with one rated less than the ﬂow rate marked

on the original suction ﬁtting.

DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m), from all

metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of

metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected (bonded) by

a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor attached to the

wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment

on the equipment box.

DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance,

such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5m) of a

spa unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: The electrical supply for this product must

include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded

supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the National Electrical

Code/USA, ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnect must be readily accessible and

visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m), from the spa

water.

WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:

The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water tempera-

tures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a

healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young chil-

dren and when spa use may exceed 10 minutes.

J-200 Series

Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing

fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly

pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). If

pregnant, please consult your physician before using a spa.

Before entering the spa, the user should measure the water temperature

with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-

regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5°F (2°C).

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead

to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease, low

or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes, infectious

diseases or immune deﬁciency syndromes should consult a physician before

using a spa. If you experience breathing difﬁculties in association with

using or operating your spa, discontinue use and consult your physician.

Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa

since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may

affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

Always shower before and after using your spa. To reduce the possibility

of contracting a waterborne illness, always maintain water chemistry within

the parameters listed on the inside cover of this manual. If you or other

bathers experience such a condition, discontinue use and seek medical

attention.

CAUTION: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s

instructions.

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:

Unawareness of impending hazard;

Failure to perceive heat;

Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;

Physical inability to exit spa;

Fetal damage in pregnant women; and

Unconsciousness and DANGER of drowning.

A warning sign is provided in your warranty packet. Please install it at a

location near your spa, where it is visible to the user of the spa. For addi-

tional or replacement signs please contact your local Jacuzzi spas dealer

and reference item number #6530-082.

3.3 Cautions

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.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA 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.

J-200 Series

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.

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 consequences.

Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa. Enter and

exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.

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.

Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain safe

water and prevent possible damage to spa components.

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 representa-

tion that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks will prevent access to the

spa.

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 indus-

try. 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-B, page 14) 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 cop-

per 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 impor-

tant safety assurance feature.

Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to insure

installation conforms to local building codes.
