Important spa owner Information
Your Jacuzzi spa is constructed to the highest standards and is capable
of providing many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat
retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for efficient operation,
an uncovered spa surface and wall fittings 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
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.

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 at all times.
We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum
thickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptable
provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined
above.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel LED
flashes water temperature and “COL” or “ICE” this is normal, refer to
4. activate Jets pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when adding
start-up chemicals in step 5.

chemicals according to the vendors instructions. Always store
chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from
and out of reach of children.
6. establish a stable sanitizer reading
Establish a stable sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or 2.0-
4.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain
a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the
Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside
cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized, perform the
note: The “decontamination procedure” steps 9-16 should also be used
after the spa has been “Winterized” (Section 12.9 page 39) or has 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
) button once to display the “set” temperature for 5 seconds. If
you want the water to heat to a different temperature, simply press
Cooler ( ) or warmer ( ) within 5 seconds. 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 must be set to low speed and jets pump #2 must be turned off to
operate the heater.
•
For Export spas connected to a 20 amp service, jets pump #1 must
be set to low speed 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.

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 9-16 below if sanitizer
levels remain stable at 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or 2.0-4.0 ppm bromine after
performing steps 1-6.

tinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
15. Establish a sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or
2.0-4.0 ppm bromine, then allow the spa to set undisturbed for 8
hours. Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels
are stable. If sanitizer levels are stable, your spa is ready for use.
To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant
sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the Association
of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside cover of

11.0 automatic Filtration Cycles
Your new spa includes a 8-hour circulation pump which filters the water
continuously. The circulation pump draws water through the skimmer bag
and one of two filter cartridges to effectively remove small debris in your spa.
note: The 8-hour circulation pump system also supplies heated water to
the spa when the heater turns on. The pump is not programmable.
The control system activates a programmable “Standard” or “Economy”
filtration/heating cycle to remove larger debris missed by the 8-hour
circulation pump filtration system. These cycles utilize pump #1 low
speed and the second filter cartridge to quickly “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 11.1 and 11.2 below for additional information.
11.1
standard Filtration/heating Modes (F0-F3)
Standard filtration/heating modes are typically selected by customers in
cold climates where heat up times are extended due to lower ambient
temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the
set temperature, 8-hour circulation pump, jets pump 1, 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 in summer logic; see Section
11.2
economy Filtration/heating Modes (F4-F6)
Economy filtration/heating modes are typically selected by customers in
warm climates where heat up times are minimized due to higher ambient
temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the
set temperature, 8-hour circulation pump, jets pump 1, and heater only
while a programmed filter cycle is running (unless in summer logic; see

lock modes
l1 Lock Out: Disables all spa functions to permit filter
cleaning.
l2 Lock Mode: Disables the jets to prevent unauthorized use
of spa. Filtration/heating cycle will continue to operate as
programmed in this mode. The temperature display flashes when this
function is enabled. Example: The “F3” filtration/heating cycle was
enabled prior to choosing lock mode. The spa continues to perform
the “F3” cycle until lock mode is canceled, allowing another cycle to
be selected.
To set a time for the first filtration/heating cycle, simply turn power on to
the spa two minutes prior to the desired time. Example: If you desire your
first filtration/heating cycle to begin at 10:00 AM turn off power to the spa
and turn it back on again at 9:58 AM.

Your Jacuzzi spa is equipped with a skimmer bag, filter skimmer and two
high performance pleated filter cartridges located under the filter cover.
Fine debris are filtered by the circulation pump drawing water through

debris are filtered by jets pump #1 drawing water through the skimmer
bag, filter skimmer and second filter cartridge during an automated
skimming/heating cycle or when jets pump 1 is manually activated during
spa use. Combined, these filters provide unsurpassed water quality by
trapping surface oils and suspended particles.

Periodically, the filter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to
remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as
illustrated in step “F”, 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 “WINTERIZ-
ING” (page 39). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave
the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.

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
maintaining the Cover
Using the Jacuzzi insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will
significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and maintenance
requirements. To prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and
clean it regularly. Below are the care instructions.
A. standard vinyl cover maintenance
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

Top rail Care and maintenance
Parts should be cleaned with soap and water and a non-abrasive
cleaning pad. More stubborn stains can be cleaned with a water based
cleaning solution or cleaners specified for vinyl surfaces. Solvent based
or aggressive degreasing cleaners should not be used.
Small scratches or nicks resulting in the lighter colored sub surface being
exposed can be made less obvious by using common furniture repair
markers. These are generally available in packs with several wood tones
from which a close match can be selected to the color of the scratched
part.
12.8
stainless steel Corners
To prolong the life of the stainless steel, handle it with care and clean it
regularly. Below are the care instructions.
1. A simply solution of warm water with a couple of drops of liquid soap
makes an excellent cleaner.
2. Dampen a soft cloth (such as a microfiber cloth) into the cleaning
solution.
3. Following the grain of the stainless steel, wipe and clean the steel.
4. Dry off the stainless steel using another clean, dry soft cloth.
note: Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, scrubbing brushes, or
scrubbing pads on the stainless steel. Should scratches occur, products
are available at local home centers that can help fix them.
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.
12.9
winterizing
Your Jacuzzi spa is designed to automatically protect itself against
freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing
temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the
electrical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter
cold weather less than -20°F (-29°C), choose the F3 “Standard” 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. 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 foot well, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
5. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the foot well, such as a wet/dry
vacuum.
6. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and
locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page
14). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and heater.
note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this

then reinstall hose and clamp.
8. 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.
12.10 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

consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer who can recommend appropriate
chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.

!
• 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.

CD ozone water maintenance system
If your spa is equipped with the Jacuzzi CD ozone water purification
system you will find that your water stays fresh and clear with
significantly less chemical sanitizer usage. You will also probably be able
to go longer between complete spa drainings.
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.
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.

25. reading MP3 files from a disc: When a disc containing MP3 data
is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the disc. If the disc contains
numerous folders with many levels or non-MP3/WMA files, it takes a
longer time to start playback. In addition, it may take time for the unit
to move to the next MP3 file and the fast forward function may not be
performed smoothly. Loading such a media may produce loud noise
and cause damage to the speakers. When selected to play, files and
folders are accessed in order in which they were written by the CD
writer. Therefore, the playing order may not be the same as the order
in which they are expected. For example, a disc with the following
folder/file hierarchy is subject to folder select, file select and play back
note: Do not attempt to play a media containing a non-MP3/WMA file with
the MP3/WMA extension or a media containing non MP3/WMA files.
