Periodically, the lter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to
remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning
followed by soaking the lter overnight in a plastic container lled with
a solution of water and specially formulated lter cleanser available
from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. The average life expectancy of
each lter is approximately two years with proper care and water quality
maintenance. Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your
authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
12.2 Draining and Relling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The
frequency 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.
CAUTION! 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
yourspahasbeenrelled.
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 “WINTER-
IZING” (page 42). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not
leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.
2. Locate the drain valve on the front/lower plastic
pan. Hold the larger (rear) 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 to open drain.
6. After the spa drains, perform steps 2-5 in
reverse order to close the drain prior to relling
the spa.
After relling, turn on power to the spa and follow
the steps listed under “Spa Fill Up Procedure” (page 18). Always ll
your spa through both lter wall ttings.
