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 suppress any operational

concerns you may have during the rst 24 hours of ownership! Also listed

below are important maintenance recommendations you should observe

on a regular basis to protect your new investment.

Maintain Healthy Spa Water

Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following

parameters:

With CLEARRAY®Without CLEARRAY®

pH 7.4-7.6 7.4-7.6

Free chlorine no less than 1.0 ppm 3.0-4.0 ppm

Free bromine no less than 2.0 ppm 2.0-4.0 ppm

Total Alkalinity 100-150 ppm 100-150 ppm

Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm 150-250 ppm

IMPORTANT: CLEARRAY® Water Purication System is factory

installed. If the CLEARRAY® system is altered or is not operating

efciently then follow the “without CLEARRAY®” water chemistry

parameters as dened by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals.

CLEARRAY® requires an annual bulb replacement to properly sanitize

your water.

!TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! Always

maintain your spa lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water.

Refer to pages 59-62 (Sec. 13.0) for additional information.

Required Filter Maintenance

Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water ltration system that

provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at

all times, you should clean the skimming lter cartridge every 3 months,

or as necessary. See pages 59-62 (Sec. 13.0) for detailed lter

cartridge cleaning instructions.

Required Water Replacement

!TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! 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 parameters. See pages

68-70 (Sec. 14.0) for additional information.

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 reten-

tive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for efcient operation, an

uncovered spa surface and wall ttings directly exposed to sunlight and

high temperatures for an extended period are subject to permanent dam-

age or discoloration. 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 9).

Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs constantly strives to offer the nest hot tubs

available, therefore, modications and enhancements may be made

which affect the specications, illustrations and/or instructions

contained herein.

2.0 FCC Notice

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for

a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will

not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Rearrange or relocate the receiving antenna;

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from the

circuit connected;

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

(Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party

3.0 Important Safety Instructions for all Spa Owners

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specications

outlined in the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act” (VGB

Safety Act). When installing and using this spa, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including:

1. !DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!

• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access

by children.

• To avoid accidents, ensure that children do not use this spa unless

supervised at all times. Adult supervision is a critical safety factor in

preventing children from drowning.

• Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the spa cover when not

in use. This will help discourage unsupervised children from entering

the spa. Keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.

• There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual

locks will prevent access to the spa.

2. !DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!

• Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from

suction ttings, 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, lter, lter lid, or

skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair

entrapment.

• Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter 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 ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match

the specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to

replace the suction ttings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that

the ow rates are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB

Safety Act.

• Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated less

than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using

improper suction ttings or suction covers can create a body or hair

suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe

injury.

3. !DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION!

• Install the spa 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.

J-400

• A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a

minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) 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.

• Never 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.

• Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa.

• Never operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when

you are wet.

• 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 disconnecting means must be readily accessible

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

from the spa.

• The electrical circuit supplied for the hot tub must include a suitable

ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by NEC Article

680-42.

4. !WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!

• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent diving or jumping

into the spa or slipping and falling, which could result in

unconsciousness, drowning, or serious injury. Remember that wet

surfaces can be very slippery.

• Never stand, walk or sit on the top railing of the spa.

5. !WARNING: RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA (OVER-HEATING)

CAUSING SEVERE INJURY, BURNS, WELTS OR DEATH!

• Water temperature in excess of 104°F (40°C) may be injurious to

your health.

• Refer to Section 3.2 Hyperthermia for specic causes and symptoms

of this condition.

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

temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are

considered safe for a healthy adult.

• Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children

(children are especially sensitive to hot water) and when spa use

may exceed 10 minutes.

• The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that the

water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).

• Always test the spa water temperature 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).

J-400

6. !WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!

• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing

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

possibly pregnant, consult your physician before using a spa.

• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water

temperatures to 100°F (38°C).

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

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

infectious diseases or immune deciency syndromes should consult a

physician before using a spa.

• If you experience breathing difculties 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.

• Persons suffering from any condition requiring medical treatment, the

elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before using a spa.

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

lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

7. !WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!

• Prolonged immersion in a spa may be injurious to your health.

• Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Exposures at

higher temperatures can cause high body temperature (over-heating).

Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and

reduced awareness. These effects could possibly result in drowning or

serious injury.

• Never use a spa immediately following strenuous exercise. Enter and

exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be slippery.

8. !WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DIS-

EASE!

• To reduce the risk of contracting a waterborne

illness (e.g. an infection,

bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments

, maintain water chemistry

within the parameters listed on the inside cover of this manual and

consult with a licensed engineer regarding proper ventilation if installed

indoors or in an enclosed area.

• People with infectious diseases should not use a spa to avoid water

contamination, which could result in spreading infections to others.

• Always shower before and after using your spa. Maintain water chem-

istry in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do

so may result in contracting a waterborne

illness (e.g. an infection,

bacteria or virus).
