WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
DISEASE.
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of
contracting a waterborne
illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus)
and/or respiratory ailments
. Fill until water covers all jets but does not
touch the bottom of the lowest headrest (DO NOT OVERFILL!).
IMPORTANT: Always ll your spa through both lter ttings after
draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the pumps,
preventing them from circulating water. Remove the hose and
replace both lter cartridges as illustrated in Section 13.1 (page
51).
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker. The heater
and lter/circulation pump will automatically activate. If the screen
displays either a “Cool Warning” or “Freeze Protection” error, this is
normal. Normally, at the initial ll, the water tends to be cold. Refer to
page 66 for additional information.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jet pumps when adding chemicals in step 5
(see Section 11.2, page 32 to activate jets).
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized
Jacuzzi spa dealer. See Section titled “Water Quality Maintenance”
(page 59) for general guidance.
WARNING: RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.
Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone. Use
chemicals according to the vendor’s instructions. Always store
chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from
and out of reach of children.

6. Establish A Stable Sanitizer Reading
Establish a stable sanitizer reading of no less than 1.0 ppm free
chlorine or 2.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions,
always maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels
recommended on the inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels
cannot be stabilized, perform the decontamination procedure steps
1-7 on the following page.
Note: The “Decontamination Procedure” should also be used after the
spa has been “Winterized” (Sec. 13.8, page 58) or has been sitting
without power for an extended period.
