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 first 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 first 
filtration/heating cycle turns on pump 1. With models J-270 and J-280 an 
automatic five minute “blow-out” function also activates pump 2 for a period 
of five minutes to flush all lines. Then, after five minutes, pump 2 turns off 
and pump 1 continues to operate for the duration of the cycle. 
Note: This function only occurs during the first filtration/heating cycle 
each day.
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters 
as defined 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 filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer page 37 
“Water Quality Maintenance” for additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water filtration system that 
provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at 
all times, you should clean the filter cartridge once a month, or earlier as 
necessary. See page 32 for detailed filter 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 37 for additional information.
