Periodically, the lter cartridge will need a more thorough cle-
aning to remove imbedded oils and minerals.
For this, we suggest cleaning followed by soaking the lter
overnight in a plastic container lled with a solution of water
and specially formulated lter cleanser available from your au-
thorized Jacuzzi dealer.
The average life expectancy of each lter is approximately two
years with proper care and water quality maintenance.
Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your authori-
zed Jacuzzi dealer.
Draining and Relling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water.
The frequency depends on a number of variables including the
amount of use, attention 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 measurements
are all within the proper parameters.
CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent da-
mage to the spa’s components, turn o power to the spa at
the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power
back on until your spa has been relled.
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”.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
