12.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The fre-
quency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use,
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.
WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent
damage to the spa’s 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 refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind
when draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is
outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment,
see “WINTERIZING” (page 26). On the other hand, if it is hot
outdoors, do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct
sunlight.
To drain spa:
1. Remove synthetic skirt panel below the control panel (page 18).
2. Remove drain hose behind synthetic skirt.
3. Raise end of drain hose above water line, then remove drain hose
cap and attach garden hose to drain hose fitting.
4. Lay drain hose down on ground, making sure water drains away from
spa.
After refilling, turn on power to the spa and follow the steps listed under
the “Spa Fill Up Procedure” (page 13).
12.3 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
refilled.
12.4 Pillow Care (J-220/J-230 Models Only)
Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water
using a cloth or soft-bristle brush. To maintain water resistance and
luster, apply a quality vinyl conditioner once a month. Always remove
the pillows when adding chemical shock treatment to the spa water. The
