8.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with this
procedure.
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 both ProClarity™ and ProClear™ Plus skimmer, polishing
filter lids and filters as illustrated in Section 15.1 (page 74).
2.
Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into empty skimming filter bucket
(filter bucket on your left) as you stand next to the spa. Fill spa half
way, then place the garden hose into the opposite filter bucket (filter
bucket on your right) while adding the remaining fill water.
CAUTION:
TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
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.

!
WARNING:
TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
DISEASE.
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 both filter buckets 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 both filter cartridges as illustrated in Section 15.1
(page 74).
3.
Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker.
The heater and filter/circulation pump will automatically
activate. If the LCD display flashes the temperature
icon and either “Water is below set-temp” or “Freeze
protection” error, this is normal. Refer to page 88 for
additional information.
