Periodically, the filter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to

remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as

illustrated in step “F”, followed by soaking the filter overnight in a plastic

container filled with a solution of water and specially formulated filter

cleanser available from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. The average life

expectancy of each filter is approximately two years with proper care and

water quality maintenance. Replacement cartridges may be purchased

from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.

12.2 Draining and refilling

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 damage

to the spa’s components,

turn off power to the spa at the circuit

breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until

your spa has been refilled.
CAUTION: 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 “WINTERIZ-

ING” (page 39). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave

the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.

to drain your spa, perform the following steps:

1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.

2. Locate the drain valve on the front/lower plastic

pan. Hold the larger (rear) body to prevent

it from turning, then loosen and remove the

front cap to expose the underlying male hose

threads.

3. Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads.

4. Gently rotate the larger (rear) valve body 1/3

turn counterclockwise to unlock the drain valve.

5. Pull the larger (rear) body outward to open drain.

6. After the spa drains, perform steps 2-5 in

reverse order to close the drain prior to refilling

the spa.

After refilling, turn on power to the spa and follow the steps listed under

“Spa Fill Up Procedure” (page 15). Always fill your spa through both filter

wall fittings.
