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

suctionttings, 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 suctionttings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match the

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

the suctionttings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that theow

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

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.

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

Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent diving or jumping into

the spa or slipping and falling, which could result in unconsciousness,

drowning, or serious injury. Remember that wet surfaces can be very

slippery.

Never stand, walk or sit on the top railing of the spa.

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

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.

8. ! WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DIS-

EASE!

To reduce the risk of contracting a waterborne

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).

3.1 Entrapment Risk

The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has reported that

users of pools and spas have become entrapped (stuck) to drain and/or

suction ttings causing death, drowning, or serious injury (see diagram

below). This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specica-

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

(VGB Safety Act). Entrapment risk can be minimized if proper precau-

tions are taken.

DANGER: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

Never operate the spa if a suction tting, suction cover,

lter, lter lid or skimmer assembly are broken, damaged or

missing.

!

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

Hair entrapment: May occur if hair is entangled, knotted or snagged

in a drain suction or skimmer assembly. This has been reported in

persons who when submerge themselves underwater, allowing hair

to come close and/or within the reach of the suction fittings, suction

covers or skimmer assembly.

Keep hair away from suction ttings, suction covers, lter, lter lid or

skimmer assembly.

Children are at risk for hair entrapment if swimming under water.

Never allow children to play or get near the suction ttings, suction

covers, lter, lter lid or skimmer assembly.

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

Limb entrapment: May occur when a limb becomes entrapped,

inserted or sucked into a suction or outlet opening.

Always keep suction ttings, suction covers, lter, lter lid or skimmer

assembly in place when operating to avoid limb entrapment.

Never allow children to play or get near the suction ttings, suction

covers, lter, lter lid or skimmer assembly.

3.2 Hyperthermia

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia (over-

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

additional or replacement Warning Signs please contact your local

Jacuzzi dealer and reference item number #6530-082.

3.3 Important CSA safety instructions (Canada only)

When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,

Grounding or the symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box

or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal

must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric

supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size

to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment. *IEC Publication

417, Symbol 5019.

3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the

external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/

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.

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).

Jacuzzi J - 470 User Manual To The 1bf4331d-d862-445a-9b43-02857050dca6 (25)

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.”

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.

10.0 Control Panel Main Menu

10.1 Control Panel

Your Jacuzzi Spa is equipped with a state-of-the-art control panel. You

will be able to access sets of multi-level menus. Familiarize yourself with

the following information, so you can gain the full benets of your spa. By

learning the key features of the control panel, you will navigate through

the menus and programming with ease. You will be referred back to this

page as you move on to proceeding sections. Please pay close attention

to the key points below.

Although the graphics on the LCD display are vivid and colorful, the

screen is not a touch-screen. The screen does display menu icons

on every corner. These menus are activated by the button located

just to the side of them (buttons A-D).

At times you will see up, down, left or right arrows surrounding key

features that are selected or made by using the Navigational Quad

Keypad (see below).

In the center of the Quad Keypad is the “Splash” button. This button

is mostly used to save, set, reset or enter your changes.

Located to the left, about mid-screen, is an icon that lets you know

what menu you are currently in.

Note: The Start up menu will time out after approximately 3 seconds and

then change to the display in Section 10.2, page 35.

13.5 Programming the Primary Filter Cycle

1. To program the Primary Filter cycle

press button A (Figure P). This cycle

is mainly used to alter the pre-

programmed 12-hour running period

of the circulation pump. The 12-hour

cycle is from 12:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

(If you would like to leave the

circulation pump as is, then skip this

section). Upon entering the Primary submenu the “Start

Time” will be selected (Figure Q).

2. Press the Left or Right button on the

Quad Keypad to choose the hour

you want the circulation pump to

start running (Figure Q).

Note: If you are using a standard

12-hour period, you will see the hour

displayed as “1PM”. For the 24-hour

period it will read “1300”.

3. Now you will need to adjust the

“Duration” (Figure R) of the cycle.

Press the Left or Right button on the

Quad Keypad to make adjustments

in increments of 1 hour. Press the

Splash button on the Quad Keypad

to save hour and duration selections

and return to the Settings 2 Main

Menu (Figure P).

Summer Logic: In warm weather, the water temperature in the spa

may exceed the set temperature. This condition may occur due to heat

transference from the lter/circulation pump and jets pumps. If the

water temperature is higher than 95°F (35°C) and rises two degrees

above the set temperature, a “Summer Logic” condition occurs that

deactivates the lter/circulation pump and ozonator (if equipped).

This safety feature cannot be altered! The lter/circulation pump and

ozonator will remain off until the water temperature cools to the set

temperature (except between 9:00-11:00 AM when the lter/circulation

pump runs for its mandatory 2-hour cycle). To help prevent a “Summer

Logic” condition, it may be necessary to reduce lter/circulation pump

cycles run times in warm weather.

14.0 Spa Maintenance

Proper and regular maintenance of your spa will help it retain its beauty

and performance. Your authorized Jacuzzi dealer can supply you with

all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to

accomplish this.

DANGER: 

ENTRAPMENT!

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 skim-

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

Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter lid, or skimmer assem-

bly 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

theow rates are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB

Safety Act, page 2.

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

than theow rate marked on the original suctiontting. Using

improper suctionttings or suction covers can create a body or hair

suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe

injury.

Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair, Limb,

Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical Entrapment,

14.1 Cleaning the Filter Cartridges

A programmable “Please Check Filter”

reminder appears on the control panel

display after a specied number days to

remind you to clean the skimmer lter and to

check the polishing bag lter. This reminder

must be reset at each lter cleaning interval.

Refer to Section 12.3 (page 56) for additional

information and programming details. Your new spa is equipped with an

advanced 2-stage ltration system. Fine debris are ltered by the

circulation pump drawing water through the ProClear™ skimmer and

pleated lter cartridge 12 hours (unless programmed otherwise). Large

debris are ltered when either jets pump is running when the spa is in

use or during a programmed lter cycle. These pumps draw water from

footwell suction tting and through a secondary water polishing bag lter

and additional lter. The exclusive footwell “sweeper” suction tting

enhances ltration in the footwell area by creating a “swirling” water

motion to maximize particle agitation and pickup.

To ensure optimum performance, the ProClear II

skimming lter cartridge (A) must be cleaned every

three months and replaced once a year. The secondary

ProClear Plus polishing lter bag (B) should be emptied

weekly and replaced every 3 months. The ProClear II

lter cartridge (C) must be cleaned every three months

and replaced once a year. To accomplish this, refer to the

following lter cleaning procedure.

Note: Do not attempt to wash the polishing lter bag (B)

or it will come apart!

6. Clean the ProClear lter cartridges with a garden hose and high

pressure nozzle. Rinse debris from the lter pleats beginning at the

top and working your way downward. Continue, one section at a

time until you have cleaned all debris from the lter pleats. When

replacing the lter cartridge, make sure you remove the center cap

and chemical dispenser for use with the new cartridge. Replacement

lter cartridges may be purchased from your authorized Jacuzzi

dealer.

14.2 Draining and Refilling

About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The

frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of

use, number of users, 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.

 To prevent dam-

age to the spas 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 relled.

CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when

draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is out-

doors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see

“WINTERIZING”, page 70). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors,

do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.

Jacuzzi J - 470 User Manual To The 1bf4331d-d862-445a-9b43-02857050dca6 (76)

Page 69

J-400

To drain your spa, perform the following steps:

1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.

2. Locate the drain valve located on the front left

corner on the black plastic pan. Hold the

larger (rear) drain valve 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 as shown

to open drain.

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

reverse order to close the drain prior to relling

spa.

After relling, turn on power to the spa and follow the steps listed under

“Spa Fill Up Procedures.” (page 17). Always ll your spa through both

lter buckets.

14.3 Cleaning the Spa Interior

To preserve the sheen of your spa’s surface, it is crucial that you avoid

using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse chemical effect

on the surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of a particular

cleanser, consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. Regardless of the

cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no soap residue is left on

the surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the spa is relled.

14.4 Pillow Care

Clean the headrests in your spa as needed by wiping them with a

cloth with soapy water. It is not necessary to remove the headrests for

cleaning. To remove headrests for long term storage or replacement,

grasp both ends of each headrest and gently pull inward towards the

center of the spa. To reinstall, over mounting strip and press down until

headrest mounting bracket emits a “click” sound. Then adjust headrest

height by simply moving up or down as desired.

14.5 Maintaining the Synthetic Cabinet

The synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind. To clean,

simply wipe cabinet with mild detergent soap solution and a clean towel.

14.6 Cleaning the Control Panel

To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a micro-ber cloth that is used for

cleaning polycarbonate lenses.

CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a high pressure garden

hose for any reason since this action may induce an electrical

short in the spa’s electrical equipment.

14.7 Vinyl Cover Care and Maintenance

Your Jacuzzi cover has a vinyl encasem*nt. This vinyl encasem*nt is

attractive and durable. Monthly cleaning and conditioning is strongly

recommended to maintain and increase the longevity of your cover.

A. To Clean and Condition the Vinyl Cover

1. Use a garden hose to loosen debris and dirt.

2. Using a large sponge or a soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap

and scrub the vinyl top. Rinse clean and do not allow soap to dry on

cover. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover.

3. Please check with your Jacuzzi Dealer for recommended cover

care and conditioning products. Condition using non-petroleum

based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple and threads/stitching

from drying out. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong

detergents. Do not use products that contain silicone or alcohol.

B. Additional Care and Maintenance Instructions:

1. Debris can accumulate on the spa cover. Removal of snow or other

debris will help to avoid breakage of the foam cores.

2. Be sure to lock the cover straps to secure the cover from unwanted

or accidental entry.

3. Do not place heavy objects on the vinyl.

4. Do not walk, sit or stand on the cover.

5. Do not drag or use the aps/skirt or the cover lock straps to remove

the cover.

6. Use only recommended cover lift systems.

7. Use only chemicals and cleaners recommended by Jacuzzi.

8. Remember to keep spa covered when not in use. Maintaining proper

water levels assures efcient operation and efcient electrical usage.

9. Do not expose your spa to the sun for extended periods of time as

UV rays can damage the interior surface.

10. Use caution when removing cover. Before removing cover, assure all

locks have been released to avoid lock breakage and or cover strap

damage.

14.8 Winterizing

Your Jacuzzi spa is designed to automatically protect itself against

freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing

temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the

electrical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter

and that auto-heating is selected (Section 13.2 Auto-Heating or Section

13.3 Programmable Heating Mode, page 60) to protect against damage

to the spa.

If you do not intend to use your spa, or if there is a prolonged power

outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important

that all water be removed from the spa and equipment to protect

against damage from freezing.

your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. In emergency situations, damage can

be minimized by taking the following steps:

CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO SPA.

1. Follow the directions on page 68 for draining the spa.

2. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position

to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 54.

3. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the

plumbing lines to drain, see page 54.

4. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means

necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and

into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.

5. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available

to remove any remaining water from the footwell, such as a wet/dry

vacuum.

6. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain

plugs in the front of each pump (Figure A, page 12). Remove these

plugs to allow the water to drain out of the pumps and heater.

Note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this

procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from

ooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.

7. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figure A, page 12) and pull

hose off of heater tting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling

downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose

and clamp.

8. Loosen the hose clamp on the circulation pump (if equipped) intake

behind the control box (Figure A) and pull the hose off (twist hose

back and forth while pulling outward). Tip hose down and allow to

drain, then reinstall hose and clamp.

9. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover spa so that no casual

moisture can enter into it.

Consult your Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions regarding winter

use or winterizing.

14.9 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

ow preventing the spa from operating properly and possibly damaging

the equipment. We recommend you consult your dealer for guidance

before attempting to restart your spa under these conditions.

15.0 Water Quality Maintenance

To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,

bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments

, m

aintain water quality

within specied limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong

the life of the hot tub’s equipment. Doing so requires regular attention

because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.

Procrastination in regard to water maintenance will result in poor and

potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even damage to your

hot tub investment. For specic guidance on maintaining water quality,

consult your Authorized Jacuzzi dealer who can recommend appropriate

chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.

WARNING: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN WATER QUALITY

WILL:

Increase risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an

infection bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments

.

Damage the equipment, components and spa shell, which

are not covered under the hot tub’s warranty.

!

CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub’s

equipment bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated tempera-

tures, this is where high voltage electronic devices are located. This

area is not intended for storage of any kind.

15.1 pH Control

pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured

on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which

is alkaline and below which is acidic. In spa water, it is very important

to maintain a slightly alkaline condition of 7.4 to 7.6. Problems become

proportionately severe the further outside of this range the water gets.

A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the spa equipment. A high pH will

cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling). In addition,

the ability of the sanitation agents to keep the spa clean is severely

affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all

spa water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanitizer.

15.2 Sanitizing

To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the spa water, a sanitizer

must be used regularly. Chlorine and bromine are the two most popular

sanitizers used to date. The “Proclear Mineral Spa Clarier” designed

especially for your hot tub is a benecial product for water maintenance.

Many other additives are available for your spa. Some are necessary to

compensate for out-of-balance water; some aid in cosmetic water treatment

and others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. Your authorized Jacuzzi

dealer can advise you on the use of these additives. When adding spa

shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH balancing chemicals activate the

jets pump(s) and leave the spa cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes.

By doing this you will allow excessive chemical vapors to exit the spa,

protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.

WARNING: 

OR ENTRAPMENT!

Never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the

cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and

animals!

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.

!

15.3 Other Additives

Many other additives are available for your spa. Some are necessary

to compensate for out-of-balance water, some aid in cosmetic water

treatment and others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. Your

authorized Jacuzzi dealer can advise you on the use of these additives.

15.4 Ozone Water Maintenance System (Optional)

This system is optional on North American models and standard

equipment on export 50 Hz models. If your spa is equipped with the

Jacuzzi CD ozone water purication system you will nd that your water

stays fresh and clear with signicantly less chemical usage. You will

probably be able to go longer between complete spa drainings.

Note: To maximize sanitation benets from this product, always turn off

the spa waterfall valve when the spa is covered or not in use. This setting

ensures maximum water ow through the ozone injector and higher

ozone concentrations. The ozone only runs when the circulation pump

is running and shuts off when either jets pump is manually activated

during spa use. The ozone will remain off for 5 minutes after both jets

pumps time out or are manually turned off, then resume operation as

programmed.

16.0 Error/Display Messages

There are a number of unique functions designed into your Jacuzzi spa

to protect it from damage and/or to aid in troubleshooting. When an error

occurs the spa will notify you by showing the screen below and an error

code next to it. Following is a listing of all the possible messages along

with their meanings:

1.

Overheat protection: (Heater is deactivated, lter/circulation pump is

activated). Water temperature is above acceptable limits. DO NOT

ENTER THE WATER! Remove spa cover to speed cooling. See

“Water Is Too Hot” on page 79. If condition persists, contact your

authorized dealer or authorized service center.

2. Water is below set-temp: If the spa water is more than 20°F/6°C

cooler than the temperature set point, the circulation pump and

heater will automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The

spa will stay in this mode until the water temperature reaches

15 degrees below the set temperature. No corrective action is

necessary.

3. Communication error: Communication between the control panel and

circuit board is faulty. If condition persists, contact your authorized

dealer or service organization.

4. Pump does not operate: Proper ow of water is inhibited or a ow

switch has malfunctioned. Check for proper water level and for

clogged lter (page 67). If no sound is detected or if a “buzzing”

sound is detected, turn off power to the hot tub. Pump may not be

properly primed. If condition persists, contact your authorized dealer

or service organization.

5. Freeze protection: A potential freeze condition has been detected. No

action is required. Jets pump(s) and heater operate until the spa is out

of danger. Depending on the amperage provided, operation will be as

follows:

In 60A or 20A (50Hz only) logic, the heater remains on at all

times, while pump 1 and pump 2 turn on for 10 minutes and then

off for 10 minutes. The pumps will alternate on and off until the

spa gets out of the freeze condition.
