Jacuzzi J-270 User Manual

Follow the directions on page 35 for draining the spa.

1.  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.

2.  When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available 

to remove any remaining water from the foot well.

4.  Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and 

locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page 

17). 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 
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.

5.  Re-install 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.

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 
flow preventing the spa from operating properly and possibly damaging 
the equipment. We recommend you consult your authorized Jacuzzi 
dealer for guidance before attempting to re-start your spa under these 
conditions.

To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, 

bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality 

within specified 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 specific guidance on maintaining water quality, 

consult your Authorized Jacuzzi dealer who can recommend appropriate 
chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.
