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 suppress any operational

concerns you may have during the rst 24 hours of ownership! Also listed

below are important maintenance recommendations you should observe

on a regular basis to protect your new investment.

Automated Spa Operations

Your new spa is equipped with an automated “clean-up” cycle that

clears all plumbing lines daily to promote maximum water sanitation.

Each day at 12:00 PM (noon), each pump will activate and run for one

minute. If either pump has just nished a 20 minute time out, it will not

automatically activate for the clean-up cycle. Be aware, the factory

programmed clean-up cycle cannot be canceled or altered!

Maintain Healthy Spa Water

Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following

parameters as dened 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

! TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! Always maintain

your spa lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer to

pages 67-68 (Sec. 14.0) for additional information.

Required Filter Maintenance

Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water ltration system that

provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality

at all times, you should clean the skimming lter cartridge every three

months, or as necessary. See pages 67-68 (Sec. 14.0) for detailed lter

cartridge cleaning instructions.

Required Water Replacement

! TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! You should

replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a

number of variables including frequency of use, number of users 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 pages

72-73 (Sec. 15.0) for additional information.

1.0 Important Spa Owner Information

Your Jacuzzi® spa is constructed to the highest standards and is capable

of providing many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat reten-

tive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for efcient operation, an

uncovered spa surface and wall ttings directly exposed to sunlight and

high temperatures for an extended period is subject to permanent damage

or discoloration. Damage caused by exposing the spa to this abuse is not

covered under warranty. We recommend that you always keep the spa full

of water when it is exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the Jacuzzi

insulating cover in place at all times when the spa is not in use. Read and

carefully follow the requirements for your spa’s support base found in the

Section 4.0 titled, “Choosing a Location” (page 8).

3.0 Important Safety Instructions for all Spa Owners

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specications

outlined in the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act” (VGB

Safety Act). When installing and using this spa, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including:

1. ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!

Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by •

children.

To avoid accidents, ensure that children do not use this spa unless •

supervised at all times. Adult supervision is a critical safety factor in

preventing children from drowning.

Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the spa cover when not in •

use. This will help discourage unsupervised children from entering the

spa. Keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.

There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks •

will prevent access to the spa.

2. ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!

Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from •

suction ttings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid

entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.

Never use the spa unless all suction guards, lter, lter lid, or skimmer •

assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair entrapment.

Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter lid, or skimmer assembly •

are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is missing. Please

contact your dealer or nearest service center for service.

The suction ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match the •

specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to replace

the suction ttings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that the ow

rates are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB Safety Act.

Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated less •

than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using improper

suction ttings or suction covers can create a body or hair suction

entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe injury.

3. ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION!

Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5m), from all metal surfaces. As an •

alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each

metal surface is permanently connected (bonded) by a minimum No. 8

AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector

Page 3

J-400

on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on the

equipment box.

A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a •

minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor between this

unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment,

metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.

Never permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, •

television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa unless such appliances are

built-in by the manufacturer.

Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. •

Never operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you •

are wet.

The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated switch •

or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply

with Section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code/USA, ANSI/NFPA

70. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible and visible to

the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m), from the spa.

The electrical circuit supplied for the hot tub must include a suitable •

ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by NEC Article 680-42.

5. ! WARNING: RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA (OVER-HEATING)



Water tem• perature in excess of 104°F (40°F) may be injurious to your

health.

Refer to Section 3.2 Hyperthermia for specic causes and symptoms of •

this condition.

The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water •

temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered

safe for a healthy adult.

Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children •

(children are especially sensitive to hot water) and when spa use may

exceed 10 minutes.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that the •

water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).

Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa. •

The user should measure the water temperature with an accurate

thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating

devices may vary as much as +/- 5°F (2°C).

Page 4

J-400

6. ! WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!

Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing •

fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, if pregnant or

possibly pregnant, consult your physician before using a spa.

Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water •

temperatures to 100°F (38°C).

Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease, •

low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes,

infectious diseases or immune deciency syndromes should consult a

physician before using a spa.

If you experience breathing difculties in association with using or •

operating your spa, discontinue use and consult your physician.

Persons using medication should consult a physician before using •

a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other

medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

Persons suffering from any condition requiring medical treatment, the •

elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before using a spa.

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may •

lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

7. ! WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!

Prolonged immersion in a spa may be injurious to your health.•

Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Exposures at •

higher temperatures can cause high body temperature (over-heating).

Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and

reduced awareness. These effects could possibly result in drowning or

serious injury.

Never use a spa immediately following strenuous exercise. Enter and •

exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be slippery.

illness (e.g. an infection,

bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments

, maintain water chemistry

within the parameters listed on the inside cover of this manual and

consult with a licensed engineer regarding proper ventilation if installed

indoors or in an enclosed area.

People with infectious diseases should not use a spa to avoid water •

contamination, which could result in spreading infections to others.

Always shower before and after using your spa. Maintain water chem-•

istry in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do

so may result in contracting a waterborne

illness (e.g. an infection,

bacteria or virus).

heating). The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal

hyperthermia in spas. A description of the causes, symptoms, and effects

of hyperthermia are as follows:

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches

a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F

(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy

(fatigue), and an increase in the internal temperature of the body (feeling

of being too hot). The effects of hyperthermia include:

Unawarenes• s of impending hazard;

Failure to perceive heat;•

Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;•

Physical inability to exit spa;•

Fetal damage in pregnant women; and•

Unconsciousness and • danger of drowning.

A Warning Sign is provided in your warranty packet. Please install at

a location near your spa, where it is visible to users of the spa. For

compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local

common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with

an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG

(10 mm²).

4. All eld-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or

other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded

to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller

than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).

5. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

4.0 Choosing a Location

IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water

and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the

spa rests be smooth, at, level and capable of uniformly support-

ing this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the

spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not

meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell

may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered

under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure

the integrity of the support at all times. We recommend a poured,

reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10

cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so

that it meets the requirements outlined above.

!

The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away

from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper

drainage could allow rain, overow and other casual water to ood the

equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas

which will be recessed into a oor or deck, install so as to permit access

to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain

that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side

cabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on the

side with the equipment bay.

CAUTION: If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area,

proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority

competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed

to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors

outdoors. When the spa is in use considerable amounts of

moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This

can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces,

surroundings, and equipment.

4.1 Outdoor Location

In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you

take into consideration:

The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder •

weather).

The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so •

that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).

The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and •

birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).

A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result •

in lowered operation and maintenance costs).

The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to •

place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water

will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.

For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not •

specically tied into main structural support, consult a professional

Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.

!

J-400

4.2 Indoor Location

For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before

installing a spa indoors.

WARNING: In addition to maintenance of lters and water

chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the

risk of contracting a waterborne

illness (e.g. an infection, bac-

teria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments

that could be pres-

ent in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building

contractor to determine your specic needs if installing your

hot tub indoors.

!

Proper Foundation:  Consult a Structural Engineer when

considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa

the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially

if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are

to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specically tied

into the main structural support, you should consult a professional

Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.

Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place

 Be

sure the ooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage

and can handle the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to make

provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the

spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet or moist so

all ooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures

should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.

Proper Ventilation: Proper ventilation should be discussed with

an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the

necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air

associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use

considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing

mold and mildew over time which can damage certain surfaces and/

or surroundings.

 In the unlikely event that you should ever need

to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is

highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide

full access to the entire spa.

Warranty: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any

improper installation not in accordance to local codes or authorities is

not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state

or city building ordinances.

8.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure

For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with this

procedure.

1. Prepare The Spa For Filling

Clear all debris from• the spa. (Although the spa shell has been

polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with a specially

formulated spa cleaner.) Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for

additional information prior to lling spa.

Remove both ProClear™ • Plus skimmer, polishing lter lids and lters

as illustrated in Section 14.1 (page 67).

2. Fill Spa

Place the end of your garden hose into empty skimming lter bucket •

(lter bucket on your left) as you stand next to the spa. Fill spa half

way, then place the garden hose into the opposite lter bucket (lter

bucket on your right) while adding the remaining ll water.

CAUTION: 

MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.

Never ll with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely

“hard”, it is preferable to ll half-way with hard water and the rest of

the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive

to metal components.

!

• 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 buckets after

draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in either pump,

preventing the pump from circulating water. Remove the hose and

replace both lter cartridges as illustrated in Section 14.1 (page 67).

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 LCD display ashes the temperature

icon and either “Water is below set-temp” or “Freeze

protection” error, this is normal. Refer to page 74 for

additional information.

4. Activate Jets Pumps

Turn on all jets(s) pumps when adding chemicals in

step 5 (see Section 11.2, page 50 to activate jets).

Page 18

J-400

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 72) for general guidance.

WARNING: RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.

Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone. Use

chemicals according to the vendors 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 between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine

or 2.0-4.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always

maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended

by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the

inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized,

perform the Decontamination Procedures on the following page.

Note: The “Decontamination Procedure” should also be used after the

spa has been “Winterized” (Sec. 14.8, page 70) or has been sitting

without power for an extended period.

7. Set Spa To Heat

To warm spa water to a comfortable

temperature, follow these steps:

The LCD display on the control panel •

displays the actual temperature of the spa

water. Press either the UP or DOWN button

on the Navigational Quad Keypad to increase or decrease the water

temperature by 1 degree.

The heater will• turn off 1 degree above set temperature and turn on 1

degree below set temperature.

Important Heater Details:

The maximum temperature for which the spa can be set is 104°F •

(40°C) and the minimum is 80°F (27°C).

For North American spas: With a 50 amp service, turn off one •

of the jet pumps to operate heater. With a 30 amp service, turn

off both jet pumps to operate heater. With a 60 amp service, the

heater will operate with both jet pumps on.

Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating •

process. This will only result in a higher ultimate temperature.

The heater operates until the water reaches • 1 degree above the

programmed “set temperature”, then turns off. The heater will

reactivate after the water cools to approximately 1 degree below

the “set temperature.”

Page 19

J-400

8. Place Cover On Spa

Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the spa is not in •

use will reduce the time required for heating, thereby minimizing

operating costs.

The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the •

starting water temperature.

DANGER: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

Check water temperature carefully before entering hot tub!

Excessive water temperature can cause burns, welts and body

temperature to rise, hyperthermia (over-heating).

!

Decontamination Procedure

Steps 1-7 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable

after performing Spa Fill Up Procedures steps 1-6. Disregard

Decontamination Procedure below if sanitizer levels remain stable at

3.0-4.0 chlorine or 2.0-4.0 bromine ppm after performing Spa Fill Up

Procedures steps 1-6.

1. Add 2.5 ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons of water.

Refer to the table below for approximate water ll volume by model.

CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!

Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for

any reason! These chemical may damage components within

your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void

the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

!

Water Fill Volume by Model

Average Sodium

Model Fill Volume* Dichlor

J-460................................350 Gal (1,325 L) .................................9.0 oz

J-465................................380 Gal (1,438 L) .................................9.5 oz

J-470................................415 Gal (1,571 L) ................................10.5 oz

J-480................................480 Gal (1,817 L) ................................12.0 oz

*Use average ll volume for chemical maintenance

2. Leave spa cover open during this step to allow

excessive chemical vapors to exit spa, protecting

pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. If spa is

indoors, open doors and windows for proper ventilation.

Turn on all spa jet pumps for one hour, open all air

controls, and place all massage selector knob(s) in their center

“combo” position as shown.

Note: You will need to activate the jet pumps every 20 minutes since

these functions have an automatic 20 minute time-out that turns them off.

Page 20

J-400

WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY!

To decrease the risk of injury, drowning or entrapment, •

never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while

the cover is open and accessible, especially to small chil-

dren and animals!

Precautions should be taken to minimize your exposure •

to chemical vapors (that could cause lung, brain, or skin

damage).

!

3. Turn off power to the spa at the circuit breaker, then drain tub as

outlined in Section 14.2 (page 68).

4. Rell spa with clean tap water from garden hose until water covers

all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest headrest with all

headrests in their lowest position (DO NOT OVERFILL!)

CAUTION: 

MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.

Never ll with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely

“hard”, it is preferable to ll half-way with hard water and the rest of

the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive

to metal components.

5. Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for chemical

recommendations, then add chemicals to spa water to achieve a

constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the

Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside

cover of this manual.

6. Turn on all jet pumps when adding chemicals to ensure proper

mixing and leave your spa cover open until the sanitizer level falls

below 4.0 ppm to protect pillows and plastic knobs from chemical

attack.

Page 21

J-400

WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

To decrease the risk of injury, entrapment or drowning, •

never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while

the cover is open and accessible to small children and

animals!

To decrease the possibility of contracting a waterborne •

ill-

ness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory

ailments, maintain water chemistry within step 6 param-

eters. If you or other bathers experience such a condition,

discontinue use and seek medical attention.

!

7. Establish a sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or

2.0-4.0 ppm bromine, then allow the spa to set undisturbed for 8

hours. Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels

are stable. If sanitizer levels are stable, your spa is ready for use.

To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant

sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the Association

of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside cover of

this manual. If sanitizer levels are not stable at this time, it will be

necessary to repeat this procedure in its entirety until stable sanitizer

readings are achieved.

8. After adequate sanitizer levels are achieved, close all spa air controls

to maximize heat retention when spa is not in use.
