If your water is extremely “hard”, it is preferable to fill half-way with hard
water and the rest of the way with softened water. Or, you may fill entirely
with hard water if you use a special water additive available from your
Jacuzzi Premium dealer. Always refill spa half way through both filter wall
fittings to purge trapped air from pump intakes. Failure to do so may cause
air to be trapped in either pump 1 or the circulation pump’s intake (air lock),
preventing either pump from circulating water. After filling, make sure both
filters are installed properly before applying power to the spa. Refer to sec-
tion 11.1 (Page 30) “Cleaning the Filters” for specific cleaning and
installation instructions.
7.2 Safety Check
Open the wood cabinet access panel and check all pump unions to make sure
they are hand tight. Loosening can occur during shipping and handling.
7.3Turn on Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker. The heater and low speed
pump 1 automatically activate and the control panel LED display flashes water
temperature and “COL” or “ICE” (page 38).
7.4Initiate Water Circulation
Depress the JETS 1 sensor pad on the control panel twice to activate
pump 1 in high speed and initiate maximum water flow to certain jets.
7.5 Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your Jacuzzi Premium
dealer. Refer to section 12.2 (page 36) for general guidance.
7.6 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 and the capacity of your spa. Smaller spas heat at a rate of
approximately 8 to 10 degrees per hour (based on 240V operation); large
spas heat at about 4 to 6 degrees per hour.
WARNING: RISK OF INJURY. Always check water temperature
carefully before entering spa.
