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).
