IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

  WARNING: Before installing this product. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions accompanying this 

pump. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe injury, death or property damage  
 
This Salt System must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool installer in accordance with the 
latest edition of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70(“NEC”) and/or all applicable local and state codes and ordinances. 
Installations in Canada must be in accordance with the latest edition of CSA C22.1 – the Canadian Electric Code, part 1 
(“CEC”) 
Improper installation could cause an electrical hazard which may result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or 
others due to electrical shock, and/or property damage. Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the house circuit 
breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others. 
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.   
 

 

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervized 

at all times

  

 

WARNING

Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter 

(GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a “GFCI” and “ATTENTION”: 
CONNECTOR UNIQUEMENT A UN CIRCUIT PROTÉGÉ PAR UN DISJONCTEUR DIFFERENTIEL DE CLASSE A”. This 
marking is to be installed where it is visible during installation

.

 

WARNING:

 

The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter 

(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the 
test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button, Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate 
in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a 
ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this Salt System. Disconnect the Salt 
System and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cords immediately (where line cord is permissible by 

local codes) The installation must conform to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, NFPA70, for USA 
installations, or all applicable provisions of the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1, for Canada

  

WARNING:

 

High voltage is present in some Salt System circuits making it mandatory that any electrical maintenance 

and repairs be attempted only by properly qualified personnel

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

 GENERAL OVERVIEW 

Your Jacuzzi® J-SS40 Salt System works by converting some of the salt (sodium chloride) in your pool into chlorine which 
starts to destroy algae and bacteria and sanitises your pool.  As part of the process, the chlorine is converted back into salt 
and hence salt is not consumed. 
 
Please read the instructions carefully and your purchase will provide you with years of trouble free use. 
 
Your Salt System control has many features which ensure simple operation of your Salt System and Filtration system.   
 
WARNING:   This appliance is not intended for use by persons including young children or infirm persons with reduced   
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or 
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 
Please ensure that young children are supervised to ensure that they do not play with the pump or chlorinator. 
  

WARNING

This Salt System power supply must be connected to the same source power supply as the circulating 

pump provides water flow to the cell. Any isolation switch, time clock or control that oprates the circulating pump must 
simultaneously operate the Salt System control.
