INSTALLATION Inspection and Shipping Claim WARNING Check for shipping damage upon receipt of the spa. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damage to the spa sustained during shipping. If damage is evident before unpacking, refer to instructions regarding shipping claims on the outside of the carton and immediately file a claim with the carrier. Without proper grounding and bonding, a system malfunction may cause fatal shock.
INSTALLATION Outdoor Installation Indoor Installation If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend that you provide a concrete pad for it to rest on. To do this, construct forms for a 4" thick level pad. Install a #10 gauge wire mesh 6" x 6" steel reinforced grid. Attach a #8 solid copper wire to the grid with a ground clamp. This wire should be long enough to reach the bond bar on the spa electrical cabinet (minimum 36"), but should not be located under the base of the spa. Then pour the concrete pad.
INSTALLATION Equipment Set-Up • Turn ON the circuit breakers at the main electrical panel. Test GFCI. • At the control panel on the spa rim, press the control button three times for high speed pump operation. • Add 1/4 cup sodium dichlor (a fast dissolving granular type of chlorine) to the water and run for 15 minutes. • Turn OFF the circuit breakers. • Immediately open the drain valve and drain the spa completely. CAUTION: Leave the optional cover OFF the spa during this procedure.
OPERATION Operating Instructions Initial Instructions Using a garden hose, fill the spa with water to the water line indicator mark on the skimmer frame. WARNING: Do not provide power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level. Refer to water line indicator mark on skimmer frame. Whenever the power is ON, the system will activate even though no controls are operated.
OPERATION Normal Operation/Whirlpool System Silent Air Induction The intensity of the whirlpool action is determined by how much air is inducted into the water. You control this by adjusting the air induction control knobs located on spa rim. For maximum air induction, rotate each control knob fully counter clockwise to the largest circle. For fewer air bubbles, decrease the amount of air induction by rotating the control knobs clockwise.
MAINTENANCE Water Quality and Water Chemistry Maintaining water quality and water chemistry in your spa is extremely important and should be a regular part of your spa maintenance program, as a neglected spa can be a breeding place for dangerous bacteria. The water quality of your spa is maintained by a combination of filtration and chemistry.
MAINTENANCE Water Chemistry (Continued) Disinfecting Balancing pH When filling the spa for the first time, follow the purge/sanitizing instructions in the Equipment Set-Up procedure of the Installation Instructions. For good hygiene and equipment longevity, maintain the pH of your spa water according to the instructions provided. pH is the measure to determine if the spa water is too acidic (low pH), or too alkaline (high pH). The ideal range for spa water is 7.4 to 7.6 pH.
MAINTENANCE Water Level/Drain Skimmer Basket Maintenance The water level in the spa must be maintained at its normal level. Evaporation and splashing will cause the water level to drop. The basket located in the skimmer of the spa should be checked at least once a week for collection of debris, such as leaves, hair, etc., and cleaned as necessary. To clean the basket, remove it from the skimmer by pulling it out, then backflush it with water from a garden hose and reinstall.
MAINTENANCE Automatic Filtration/Maintenance If you plan to be away, minimum water quality will be maintained by running the filter system. If you will be away for an extended period, however, we recommend that you drain the spa (following the procedure described under Winterizing on this page), as long periods without maintenance of water quality could be detrimental to the spa. NOTE: We do not recommend using this procedure if you are absent during the summer, when algae buildup is most likely.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning Your Spa Covering Your Spa Your spa shell consists of two layers of plastic materials. Its smooth top surface of acrylic is tough and durable and contains concentrated color. This is supported by a substantial thickness of fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin. A catalyst causes a chemical reaction during manufacture that bonds these layers permanently into a hard, strong material. With a minimum amount of care and cleaning, your whirlpool spa will look new for years.
