INSTALLATION

Equipment Set-Up

1.

Remove the plastic sheet covering the spa. Use
care; stepping into the spa with shoes will scratch
the acrylic surface.

2.

Remove any packing materials from the spa.

3.

Remove each filter cartridge from its plastic bag.

4.

Pull open each skimmer/filter door by the handle
located in the middle of the door and remove the
skimmer basket.   Then insert the filter cartridge into
the filter housing and re-insert the strainer so that it
fits in place over the filter cartridge and close the
skimmer/filter door. See illustration on page 13.

5.

Clean the interior of the spa of any remaining con-
struction debris.  Remove stubborn stains, paint, or
tar with turpentine, isopropyl alcohol or paint thin-
ner.  A mild liquid dishwashing detergent on a damp
cloth is fine for cleaning off other dirt.  Plaster can be
removed by scraping with a wooden edge; do not
use a metal scraper, wire brush, or other metal tools,
as they will damage the spa's surface.

6.

Install the skirt panel which was not installed on the
spa at the factory.  To do this, secure with the screws
provided in your spa accessory package and follow
instructions provided with panels.

7.

On initial start-up, it is necessary to purge and
sanitize the system.  Carefully follow the procedure
described here to purge and sanitize your spa.

• Remove the optional spa cover completely.

• Close the drain valve located on the suction tee.

• Fill the spa with water to its normal operating

level, which is to the water level indicator mark on
the skimmer/filter frame.

• Turn on circuit breakers at the main electrical

panel.

• Select JETS on the SYSTEM switch.

• Add 1/4 cup sodium dichlor (a fast dissolving

granular type of chlorine) to the water and let the
whirlpool run for 15-20 minutes only.

• Turn off JETS.

• Turn off circuit breakers.

• Immediately open the drain valve and drain

the spa completely.

CAUTION: 

 Leave the optional rigid cover off

the spa during this procedure.  Do not use the
spa during this procedure. Drain the spa imme-
diately afterward.

8.

Close the drain valve and  fill the spa with water to
approx. 7 inches below the spa rim, or to water line
indicator mark on the skimmer frame. (See illustra-
tion on this page.)

9.

Turn on circuit breakers at the main service panel.

10. Set the heater thermostat for the maximum tem-

perature.

11. Test the spa for proper operation. (Refer to Operat-

ing Instructions.)

12. Refer to Water Quality section of the Operating

Instructions.  Test for water quality; then add treat-
ment chemicals to ensure proper levels.

All Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath spas are factory tested for
proper operation and water tight connections prior to
