pillows can be returned to the spa when the sanitizer reading drops
below 5 ppm.
12.5 Maintaining the Cover
Using the Jacuzzi insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will
significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and maintenance
requirements. To prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and
clean it regularly using mild soap and water. Periodic treatments with a
special conditioner developed for Jacuzzi spa covers will help protect
against deterioration caused by UV rays from the sun.
Never allow anyone to stand or sit on the cover, and avoid
dragging it across rough surfaces.
12.6 Maintaining The Synthetic Cabinet
Your new spa’s synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of
any kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild
soap solution.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any rea
-
son since this action may induce an electrical short in the spa’s
electrical equipment.
12.7 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 elec-
trical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter cold
weather less than -20°F (-29°C), choose the F3 “Standard” skimming/
heating mode to prevent freezing (page 23).
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 impor-
tant that all water be removed from the spa and equipment to protect
against damage from freezing. For expert winterization of your spa,
contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. In emergency situations,
damage can be minimized by taking the following steps:
1. Follow the directions on page 25 for draining the spa.
2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means nec
-
essary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into
the footwell.
3. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means avail
-
able to remove any remaining water from the footwell.
