21 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 38) 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 readingEstablish a stable sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or 2.04.0 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 21-23. note: The “decontamination procedure” steps 9-16 should also be used after the spa has been “Winterized” (Section 12.7 page 37) 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 America 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. 8. place Cover on spa • Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the spa is not inuse 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 fill volume by model. ! CauTIon: rIsK oF personal InJurY or spa DamaGe!

Leave spa cover open during this step to allow excessive chemical vapors to exit spa, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. If spa is indoors, open doors and windows for proper ventilation. Turn on all jet pumps for one hour, then place the massage selector knob in the center Figure B “combo” position and open all air controls (Figure A is for all models except the J-210). For the J-210 models (Figure B) turn the Diverter Jet in the “combo” position. AB note: You will need to press the jets pump button(s) Air Control every 20 minutes since these functions have an automatic 20 minute time-out function that turns them off. ! warnInG: rIsK oF personal InJurY! • To decrease the risk of injury, drowning or entrapment, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and animals! • Precautions should be taken to minimize your exposure to chemical vapors (that could cause lung, brain, or skin damage). 11.
