8.0 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 section 12.1
(page
).
2. Fill Spa
Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket.
CAUTION:
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 authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
Fill spa until water covers all jets but does not touch the bottom of the low-
est 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 garden hose
and replace filter cartridge. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! FINGER
TIGHT ONLY!
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up sequence
(sec. 10.0, page
). The heater and filter pump will automatically activate after
several seconds. If the control panel LED flashes water temperature and “COL”
or “ICE” this is normal, refer to pages
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when adding
start-up chemicals in step 5.
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
