Jacuzzi J-280 - Manual (Page 2)

Attention New Spa Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Jacuzzi® spa! The following
is a list of automated functions performed by your spa. These functions are
listed below in an attempt to alleviate any operational concerns you may
have during the first 24-hours of ownership! Also listed below are important
maintenance recommendations you should observe on a regular basis to
protect your new investment.
Automated Operations
Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the first filtra-
tion/heating cycle turns on pump 1. An automatic five minute “blow-out”
function also activates pump 2 for a period of five minutes to flush all lines.
Then, after five minutes, pump 2 turns off and pump 1 continues to operate
for the duration of the cycle. Note: this function only occurs during the first
filtration/heating cycle each day.
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters
as defined by the Association of Pool And Spa Professionals/USA:
pH 7.4-7.6
Free Chlorine 3.0-4.0 ppm
Free Bromine 2.0-4.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity 100-120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm
Always maintain your spas filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa
water. Refer page 30 “Water Quality Maintenance” for additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water filtration system that
provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at
all times, you should clean the filter cartridge every three months, or earlier
as necessary. See page 25 for detailed filter cartridge cleaning/replacement
instructions.
Required Water Replacement
You should replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency de-
pends on a number of variables including frequency of use, number of us-
ers, and attention paid to water quality maintenance. 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. See page 30-31 for
additional information.
