Attention New Spa Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Jacuzzi® spa! The following
is a list of automated functions performed by your spa. These functions are
listed below in an attempt to alleviate any operational concerns you may
have during the rst 24-hours of ownership! Also listed below are important
maintenance recommendations you should observe on a regular basis to
protect your new investment.
Automated Operations
Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the rst
ltration/heating cycle turns on pump 1. An automatic ve minute “blow-out”
function also activates pump 2 for a period of ve minutes to ush all lines.
Then, after ve minutes, pump 2 turns off and pump 1 continues to operate
for the duration of the cycle.
Note: This function only occurs during the rst ltration/heating cycle each
day.
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters
as dened by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA:
pH 7.4-7.6
Free Chlorine 3.0-4.0 ppm
Free Bromine 2.0-4.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity 100-120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm
! TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! Always maintain
your spas lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer page 36
“Water Quality Maintenance” for additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water ltration system that
provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at
all times, you should clean both lter cartridges every month, or earlier as
necessary. See page 30 for detailed lter cartridge cleaning/replacement
instructions.
Required Water Replacement
! TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE!
You should
replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a number
of variables including frequency of use, number of users, and attention paid to
water quality maintenance. 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. See page 36 for additional information.

1.0 Important Spa Owner Information
Your Jacuzzi® J-300 Series spa is constructed to the highest standards
and is capable of providing many years of trouble-free use. However,
because heat retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for
efcient operation, an uncovered spa surface directly exposed to sunlight
and high temperatures for an extended period is subject to permanent
damage. Damage caused by exposing the spa to this abuse is not
covered under warranty. We recommend that you always keep the spa
full of water when it is exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the
Jacuzzi premium insulating cover in place at all times when the spa is not
in use. Read and carefully follow the requirements for your spa’s support
base found in Section 4.0 titled, “Choosing A Location” (page 9).

3.3 Important Additional CSA Safety Instructions (Canada Only)
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding or the symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box
or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal
must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric
supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size
to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment (*IEC Publication
417, Symbol 5019).
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the
external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local
common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with
an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG
(10 mm²).
4. All eld installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or
other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded
to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller
than No. 6 AWG (10 mm2).
5. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
3.4 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Jacuzzi® spa is equipped with a “state-of-the-art” equipment
system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective
equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must be installed
properly to ensure dependable usage. Please contact your local Jacuzzi
dealer or local building department should you have any questions
regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi spas are equipped with
a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided on the
surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door (Figure
B, page 17) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point
and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5
feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²)
solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.

J-300 Series
J-300 Series
4.0 Choosing A Location
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests
be smooth, at, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight,
without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If the
spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements,
damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused by
improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility
of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times.
We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum
thickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptable
provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined
above.
WARNING:
-
consult a professional Structural Engineer
with experience in this type of application.
!
The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper
drainage could allow rain, overow and other casual water to ood the
equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas
which will be recessed into a oor or deck, install so as to permit access
to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain
that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side
cabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on the
side with the equipment bay.
CAUTION: If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area,
proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority
competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed
to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors
outdoors.
moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This
can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces,
surroundings, and equipment.

J-300 Series
4.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you
take into consideration:
The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder •
weather).
The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so •
that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).
The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and •
birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result •
in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to •
place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not •
specically tied into main structural support, consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
Proper Foundation: Consult a Structural Engineer when
considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa
the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially
if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are
to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specically tied
into the main structural support, you should consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place
Be
sure the ooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage
and can handle the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to make
provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the
spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet or moist so
all ooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures
should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
Proper Ventilation:
an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the
necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air
associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use
considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing
mold and mildew over time which can damage certain surfaces and/
or surroundings.
10

J-300 Series
J-300 Series
In the unlikely event that you should ever need
to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is
highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide
full access to the entire spa.
Warranty: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any
improper installation not in accordance to local codes or authorities is
not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state
or city building ordinances.
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of lters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
risk of contracting a waterborne
illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
that could be
present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or
building contractor to determine your specic needs if install-
ing your hot tub indoors.

surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door (Figure
B, page 17) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point
and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5
feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²)
solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
Before installing this spa, check with the local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.
A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close
enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the
included 10 feet (3m) power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO NOT
USE AN EXTENSION CORD as this could cause damage to the spa’s
equipment due to insufcient voltage. The power supplied to this spa
must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the
power provided by the circuit.
6.0 Power Requirements
Jacuzzi® spas are designed to provide optimum
performance and exibility of use when connected to the
maximum electrical service listed below. Minor circuit
board modications can be performed to allow your new
spa to accept an electrical service other than the factory
operation setting.
Note: Refer to pages 42-45 for circuit board conguration details or
contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.

8.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that
step.
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 lter cover, then remove lter cartridge as outlined in •
Section 12.1 (page 30).
2. Fill Spa
Place the end of your garden hose into the empty lter bucket.•
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
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. You may ll entirely with hard water if
you use a special water additive available from your Jacuzzi dealer.
!
• 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 the lter bucket 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 the lter cartridge. Note: DO NOT overtighten
lter cartridge, nger tight only!
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot
up sequence (sec. 10.0, page 25). The heater and lter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel LED
ashes water temperature and “COL” or “ICE” this is normal, refer to
page 38 for additional information.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when adding
start-up chemicals in step 5.
18
19
J-300 Series
J-300 Series
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized
Jacuzzi dealer. See Section 13.0 “Water Quality Maintenance” (page 36)
for general guidance.
WARNING: RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.
Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone. Use
chemicals according to the vendors instructions. Always store
chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from
and out of reach of children.
!
6.
Establish a stable sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or 2.0-
4.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain
a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the
Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside
cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized, perform the
decontamination procedure steps 9-16 on pages 20-22.
Note: The “decontamination procedure” steps 9-16 should also be used
after the spa has been “Winterized” (Section 12.7 page 35) or has been
sitting without power for an extended period.
7. Set Spa To Heat
To warm spa water to a comfortable temperature, follow
these steps:
The LED display on the control panel displays the •
actual temperature of the spa water. Press either the
COOLER ( ) or WARMER ( ) button once to display the “set”
temperature for 5 seconds. If you want the water to heat to a different
temperature, simply press COOLER ( ) or WARMER ( ) within 5
seconds. The set temperature increases or decreases by one degree
each time one of these buttons is pressed.
The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the •
thermostat setting is achieved.
Important Heater Details:
The maximum water temperature setting for your spa is 104 °F •
(40 °C) and the minimum setting is 65 °F (18 °C).
For North American spas connected to a 40 amp service, jets pump •
#1 must be set to low speed and jets pump #2 must be turned off to
operate the heater.
For Export spas connected to a 20 amp service, jets pump #1 must •
be set to low speed and jets pump #2 must be turned off to operate
the heater.
Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating •
process. This will only result in a higher ultimate temperature.
The heater operates until the water reaches the programmed “set •
temperature”, then turns off. The heater will reactivate after the
water cools to approximately 1.5° below the set temperature.
19
20
J-300 Series
8. 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.
DANGER: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Check water temperature carefully before entering hot tub!
Excessive water temperature can cause burns, welts and body
temperature to rise, hyperthermia (over-heating).
!
Decontamination Procedure (Steps 9-16)
Steps 9-16 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable
after performing steps 1-6 above. Disregard steps 9-16 below if sanitizer
levels remain stable at 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or 2.0-4.0 ppm bromine after
performing steps 1-6.
9. Add 2.5 ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons of water.
Refer to the table below for approximate water ll volume by model.
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for
any reason! These chemical may damage components within
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

to chemical vapors (that could cause lung, brain, or skin
damage).
!
11. Turn off power to the spa at the circuit breaker, then drain spa as
outlined in Section 12.2 “Draining And Relling” (page 33).
12. Fill spa until water covers all jets but does not touch the bottom of
the lowest headrest. DO NOT OVERFILL.
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
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. You may ll entirely with hard water if
you use a special water additive available from your Jacuzzi dealer.
13. Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for chemical
recommendations, then add chemicals to spa water to achieve a
constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the
Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside
cover of this manual.
14. Turn on all jet pumps when adding chemicals to ensure proper
mixing and leave your spa cover open until the sanitizer level falls
below 4.0 ppm to protect pillows and plastic knobs from chemical
attack.

WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
To decrease the risk of injury, entrapment or drowning, •
never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason, es-
pecially if while the cover is open and accessible to small
children and animals!
To decrease the risk of • contracting a waterborne
illness
(e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ail-
ments, maintain water chemistry within 6 step parameters.
If you or other bathers experience such a condition, discon-
tinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
!
15. Establish a sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or
2.0-4.0 ppm bromine, then allow the spa to set undisturbed for 8
hours. Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels
are stable. If sanitizer levels are stable, your spa is ready for use.
To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant
sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the Association
of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside cover of
this manual. If sanitizer levels are not stable at this time, it will be
necessary to repeat this procedure in its entirety (steps 1-15) until
stable sanitizer readings are achieved.
16. After adequate sanitizer levels are achieved, close all spa air controls
by rotating them clockwise to maximize heat retention when spa is
not in use.

10.0 Operating Instructions
The spa control system has automatic functions that operate upon
start-up and normal operation to protect the system. Upon power up, the
readout displays the following information:
1. Control panel displays current software release
(e.g. 3.57), then;
2. Control panel displays “888” and all indicator LEDs
are lit, permitting visual inspection of all display seg-
ments and indicator lights for proper operation.
3. After the initial start-up sequence ends, the actual
water temperature is displayed. If water temperature
at this time is less then the factory default tempera-
ture setting of 100 °F (38 °C) and the spa is set to either standard
ltration/heating mode (page 28), the heater will turn on and run until
the water temperature rises to the factory setting, then turn off.
Note: It is common for the heater to turn on after the spa is rst lled
because tap water is often very cold.
10.1 Setting Water Temperature

set temperature, press the COOLER ( ) button. The rst press of either
WARMER ( ) or COOLER ( ) button displays the set temperature.
To access the overtemp feature that allows the spa to reach 106 °F (41 °C)
follow the steps below (Figure 1).
A. Press and hold the WARMER ( )
button then;
B. Press and hold the JETS 1 ( ) button
at the same time for 2 seconds. You will
see the temperature rise to 106 °F (41
°C) on the LED display. To lower the
temperature, press the COOLER ( )
button.
C. When the overtemp has been activated, the white decimal point after
the last digit will ash on and off every second as an indicator for
being in the overtemp mode.
Note: Once the temperature goes below 104 °F (40 °C) and you would
like to raise the temperature to 106 °F (41 °C) again, you will have to
repeat the steps above.
10.2 Activate Jet Pumps
The control panel JETS 1 button activates jets pump 1. The
rst press activates low speed, the second press activates
high speed, and the third press shuts jets pump 1 off. The
JETS 2 button activates jets pump 2. The rst press activates high

adjusted or turned off by rotating the outside jet ring. Some jets
offer an adjustable center nozzle that allows you to change the
water discharge angle. Simply tilt the center nozzle in these jets
to the desired angle to customize your personal massage.
Other jets offer a spiral action that produces a surging stream of
air and water that provides a vigorous massage.
Note: Always keep at least 6 adjustable jets open at all times
to ensure proper ltration characteristics within the spa. Jets may not
spin with jets pump 1 running in low speed.
26

10.6 Selecting Desired Massage Action
All models incorporate a massage selector valve that
allows you to customize the massage and performance by
diverting water between various jet systems within the
spa. Simply turn valve to positions A, B or C to divert
water pressure to various jet groups.
Note: The valve is intended to operate in positions A (Combo), B, or C
for optimum performance. It is considered normal for sound levels within
the valve to increase between these positions due to the large amounts
of water owing through it. For optimum ltration benets, always leave
this valve in position A when the spa is covered and select positions B or
C for maximum jet performance during spa use.
10.7 Waterfall Feature
The waterfall feature allows you to independently control it for a
customized soothing effect. The JETS 1 button activates the waterfall
feature.
Note: The operation of the waterfall light feature is covered in Sections
10.3-10.4 (page 26).
Waterfall Operation Details:
J-315/J-325 Models: Move control lever next to the waterfall •
body inward to start or increase ow or move outward to slow or

continuously. The circulation pump draws water through the skimmer bag
and one of two lter cartridges to effectively remove small debris in your spa.
Note: The 24-hour circulation pump system also supplies heated water
to the spa when the heater turns on. The pump is not programmable.
The control system activates a programmable “standard” or “economy”
ltration/heating cycle to remove larger debris missed by the 24-hour
circulation pump ltration system. These cycles utilize pump #1 low
speed and the second lter cartridge to quickly “skim” the water of large
debris and minimize their “bath-tub ring” effect. Apart from their skimming
benet, each mode also effects the operation of your spa’s heater. Refer
to Sections 11.1 and 11.2 below for additional information.
Standard ltration/heating modes are typically selected by customers in
cold climates where heat up times are extended due to lower ambient
temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the
set temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater which turns on as
needed. After the programmed set temperature is reached, the heater
turns off and the circulation pump continues to operate 24-hours to lter
and clean your spa unless in summer logic; see Section 14.1, page 38.
Economy ltration/heating modes are typically selected by customers in
warm climates where heat up times are minimized due to higher ambient
temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by
the set temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater only while a
programmed lter cycle is running (unless in summer logic; see Section
14.1, page 38).
11.3 Lock Modes (L1-L2)
These modes are designed for use during spa service or to prevent
unauthorized use.
Press and hold both control panel WARMER ( ) and COOLER ( )
buttons at the same time, then release. Then press either WARMER
( ) or COOLER ( ) button to select ltration/heating mode F0-F6 or
lock modes L1-L2 below:

F0 5 minutes of ltration per day (one 5 minute “Blow-Out”
cycle every 24 hours to purge all plumbing lines)
F1 1 hour of ltration per day (one 30-minute cycle every 12
hours); This is the factory default setting.
F2 1.5 hours of ltration per day (one 30-minute cycle every
8 hours)
F3 2 hours of ltration per day (one 30-minute cycle every 6
hours)
F4 1 hour of ltration/heating per day (one 30-minute cycle
every twelve hours)
F5 1.5 hours of ltration/heating per day (one 30-minute
cycle every eight hours)
F6 2 hours of ltration/heating per day (one 30-minute cycle
every six hours)
Lock Modes
L1 Lock Out: disables all spa functions to permit lter
cleaning.
L2 Lock Mode: disables the jets and light buttons to prevent
unauthorized use of spa. Filtration/heating cycle will
continue to operate as programmed in this mode. The temperature
display ashes when this function is enabled. Example: The “F3”
ltration/heating cycle was enabled prior to choosing lock mode. The
spa continues to perform the “F3” cycle until lock mode is canceled,
allowing another cycle to be selected.
To set a time for the rst ltration/heating cycle, simply turn power on to
the spa two minutes prior to the desired time. Example: If you desire your
rst ltration/heating cycle to begin at 10:00 AM turn off power to the spa
and turn it back on again at 9:58 AM.
Note: Start time is approximate and may vary slightly from day to day.

12.0 Spa Maintenance
Proper and regular maintenance of your spa will help it retain its beauty
and performance. Your authorized Jacuzzi dealer can supply you with
all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to
accomplish this.
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING BY
ENTRAPMENT!
Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away •
from suction ttings, rotating jets or other moving components to
avoid entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
Never use the spa unless all suction guards, lter, lter lid, or •
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter lid, or skimmer •
assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is
missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center
for service.
The suction ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized •
to match the specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it
is necessary to replace the suction ttings, suction covers or
pump(s), be sure that the ow rates are compatible and are in
compliance with the VGB Safety Act page 2.
Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated •
less than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting.
Using improper suction ttings or suction covers can create
a body or hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to
drowning or severe injury.
Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair, •
Limb, Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical
Entrapment, page 6.
!
12.1 Cleaning The Filters
Your Jacuzzi spa is equipped with a skimmer bag and two high
performance pleated lter cartridges located under the lter cover.
Fine debris are ltered by the circulation pump drawing water through
the skimmer bag and lter cartridge 24-hours a day. Large debris are
ltered by jets pump #1 drawing water through the skimmer bag and
second lter cartridge during an automated skimming/heating cycle or
when jets pump 1 is manually activated during spa use. Combined, both
lters provide unsurpassed water quality by trapping surface oils and
suspended particles.

An optional chemical feeder is available through your
authorized Jacuzzi dealer that installs under the lter cap
(#2472-673). Always remove the chemical feeder cap and
feeder (when used) during the lter cleaning process by
turning the cap handle counterclockwise. Reinstall the cap
and feeder back onto the lter cartridge after the lter
cleaning process is complete. It is recommended that latex
gloves be used to avoid touching the chemical feeder
during the lter cleaning process.
Note: When used, the chemical feeder MUST remain on the circulation
pump lter cartridge! This lter cartridge is the one with the grid across
the wall tting as shown (right).
ALWAYS TURN POWER TO SPA OFF BEFORE CLEANING THE
FILTER CARTRIDGES!
Note: Refer to steps A-J on following page for complete lter cleaning/

Periodically, the lter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to
remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as
illustrated in step “F”, 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.
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 “WINTERIZ-
ING” (page 35). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave
the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
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.

12.3 Pillow Care
Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water
using a cloth or soft-bristle brush. Always remove the pillows when
adding chemical shock treatment to the spa water. When the sanitizer
reading is below 4.0 ppm, pillows can be reinstalled.
CAUTION: Never attempt to remove the pillows by pulling on
the complete assembly! The pillows utilize a bolt-on design
that prohibits removal without tools.
!
To remove pillows:
1. Grasp pillow insert (A) with nger tips and
gently pry outward from pillow base (C).
2. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen and
remove mounting bolts (B) from pillow
base.
3. Assemble in reverse order after cleaning.
DO NOT overtighten pillow mounting
bolts!
12.4 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 relled.
12.5 Maintaining the Cover
Using the Jacuzzi insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will
signicantly 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.
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.
34
35
J-300 Series
J-300 Series
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any
reason 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
electrical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter
cold weather less than -20 °F (-29 °C), choose the F3 “Standard”
ltration/heating mode to prevent freezing (page 28).
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 important
against damage from freezing.
Expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, contact your
authorized Jacuzzi dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be
minimized by taking the following steps:
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO HOT TUB!
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. Follow the directions on page 33 for draining the spa.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position
to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 27.
4. Turn the waterfall valve(s) to the open position to allow the water in
the plumbing lines to drain, see page 27.
5. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means
necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and
into the foot well, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
6. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the foot well, such as a wet/dry
vacuum.
7. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and
locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page
16). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and heater.
Note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this
procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from
ooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
8. Reinstall synthetic cabinet side panel and cover spa so that no
casual moisture can enter into it.
Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions
regarding winter use or winterizing.

12.8 Restarting Your Spa in Cold Weather
If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time in
freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain
sections of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water
ow preventing the spa from operating properly and possibly damaging
the equipment. We recommend you consult your authorized Jacuzzi
dealer for guidance before attempting to restart your spa under these
conditions.
13.0 Water Quality Maintenance
To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
, m
aintain water quality
within specied limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong
the life of the hot tub’s equipment. Doing so requires regular attention
because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.
Procrastination in regard to water maintenance will result in poor and
potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even damage to your
hot tub investment. For specic guidance on maintaining water quality,
consult your Authorized Jacuzzi dealer who can recommend appropriate
chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.
WARNING: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN WATER QUALITY
WILL:
Increase risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an •
infection bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
.
Damage the equipment, components and spa shell, which •
are not covered under the hot tub’s warranty.
!
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub’s
equipment bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated tempera-
tures, this is where high voltage electronic devices are located. This
area is not intended for storage of any kind.
13.1 pH Control
pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured
on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which
is alkaline and below which is acidic. In spa water, it is very important to
maintain a slightly alkaline condition of 7.4 to 7.6 pH. Problems become
proportionately severe the further outside of this range the water gets.
A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the spa equipment. A high pH will
cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling). In addition,
36
37
J-300 Series
J-300 Series
the ability of the sanitation agents to keep the spa clean is severely
affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all
spa water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as the sanitizer.
13.2 Sanitizing
To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the spa water, a sanitizer
must be used regularly. Chlorine and bromine are the two most popular
sanitizers used to date. The “Proclear Mineral Spa Clarier” designed
especially for your hot tub is a benecial product for water maintenance.
Many other additives are available for your spa. Some are necessary
to compensate for out-of-balance water; some aid in cosmetic water
treatment and others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. Your
authorized Jacuzzi dealer can advise you on the use of these additives.
When adding spa shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH balancing
chemicals activate the jets pump(s) and leave the spa cover open for a
minimum of 20 minutes. By doing this you will allow excessive chemical
vapors to exit the spa, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical
attack.
WARNING:
OR ENTRAPMENT!
Never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the
cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and
animals!
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for
any reason! These chemical may damage components within
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash and void
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.
!
13.3 CD Ozone Water Maintenance System
If your spa is equipped with the Jacuzzi CD ozone water purication
system you will nd that your water stays fresh and clear with
signicantly less chemical sanitizer usage. You will also probably be able
to go longer between complete spa drainings.
37
38
J-300 Series
Your spa has a self-diagnostic control system. The system will
automatically display the following if a problem is detected.
14.1 Summer Logic
When the actual spa water temperature reaches 2 °F
(1 °C) above the set temperature, the spa goes into
“summer logic.” The 24-hour circulation pump will turn off
automatically to avoid adding additional heat to the water,
eventually creating an overheat condition. This setting is
not user-programmable.
Note: Summer logic does not take effect until the spa water temperature
reaches 95 °F (35 °C). This condition is more likely in excessively hot
weather. Remember, the spa’s ability to cool is directly affected by
the ambient temperature. An excessively hot ambient temperature
may prevent the spa from cooling down because it’s fully insulated
construction is designed to retain heat and minimize operating costs.
14.2 Panel Displays COL
Cool Condition - Temperature has dropped 20 °F (11 °C)
below the current set temperature. Jets pump 1 and the
heater have been activated to bring the temperature within
15 °F (8 °C) of the set temperature. No corrective action is required!
Note: This condition is common during rst time ll ups or during rells
since tap water is often very cold.
14.3 Panel Displays ICE
Freeze Protection - A potential freeze condition has been
detected. No action is required. Jets Pump 1 and heater
will activate to circulate and warm water through the plumbing until spa is
