Periodically, both filter cartridges will need a more thorough cleaning to
remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as illus-
trated above (Step E), followed by soaking the filter overnight in a plastic con-
tainer filled with a solution of water and a specially formulated filter cleanser
available from your Jacuzzi Premium dealer. We also recommend rotating
your filter cartridges during each cleaning to maximize life. The average life
expectancy of each filter cartridges is approximately two years with proper
care, rotation, and water quality maintenance. Replacement cartridges may
be purchased from your Jacuzzi Premium dealer.
11.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The fre-
quency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use, atten-
tion 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 mea-
surements are all within the proper parameters.
WARNING! 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 “WINTERIZING”, Page
31. On the other hand, if it is hot out-
doors, do not leave the spa’s surface
exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.
2. Locate drain valve on front/lower plastic pan.
Hold larger (rear) body to prevent it from
turning, then loosen and remove the front
cap to expose underlying male hose threads.
3. Attach garden hose to exposed threads.
4. Gently rotate larger (rear) valve body 1/3
turn counterclockwise to unlock drain valve.
