     The Santina™,  by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, is a spacious
octagonal whirlpool spa which will seat up to seven people
with room to spare.  Designed to provide the revitalizing
hydromassage for which Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is famous,
the Santina  features three directionally adjustable whirl-
pool jets and six high volume fully adjustable jets located
strategically about the spa.  The Santina also features a
Water Rainbow

 spout with flow control to create a dazzling

waterfall effect, as well as an underwater light with inter-
changeable colored lenses.

     For convenience, a clearly labeled control panel allows
push-button control of the integrated heater, filter,  whirl-
pool, and air blower functions, as well as thermostatic
control of water temperature from inside or outside the spa.
Also, adjustment of the Silent Air Induction feature may be
made by means of the control knobs.  A 7-day timer (located
on the System Control Module) can be set for automatic
control of temperature and filtration.

      The Santina  features two patented front load skimmer/
filters which make up the 50 sq. ft. filtration system.  This
system has been designed by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath to
allow easy access to the filter cartridge without having to
drain the spa or open the skirt door. The spa shell, which is
foam insulated to reduce energy costs, is tastefully sur-
rounded by a handsome factory installed wood skirt.

The complete equipment pack of the Santina  is mounted

within the perimeter of the spa, making the spa easy to
install.  The spa requires a 230 VAC 50 AMP, 4 wire,
grounded separate circuit and is equipped with a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).  The Santina  is available in
several lustrous acrylic colors with color-coordinated fit-
tings.  (See the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Color Guide.)

Options available for the Santina  include a gas heater to

be used as an additional remote heating source, a rigid
insulating spa cover to protect the spa from debris and
reduce heat loss, and an assortment of pillows.
