12.8 restarting Your spa in Cold weather
If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time in freezing
temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain sections of the
piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water flow preventing
the spa from operating properly and possibly damaging the equipment.
We recommend you consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for guidance
before attempting to re-start your spa under these conditions.
13.0 water Quality maintenance
To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,
