Jacuzzi j - 200 j - 280 User Manual

To ensure optimum performance, clean and reuse the skimmer bag and 

filter cartridge once a month or as necessary, depending on use.

J-210 models include filters on their footwell suction covers  

(shown right) that prevent debris from entering the pump and 

the massage selector(s), when operating. These filters must 

remain in place to protect these components from debris 

entrapment/damage. They should be cleaned every 2 months, 

or when weak pump performance is observed.
J-230, J-270 and J-280 Models: 

These model spas are equipped with a skimmer bag and one high 

performance pleated filter cartridge located under the filter cover as 

illustrated below. Debris are filtered by the optional circulation pump 

(when equipped) drawing water through the skimmer bag and filter 

cartridge 24-hours a day, or by jets pump 1 when running a programmed 

filter cycle or when manually activated by spa use. Combined, both 

filters provide unsurpassed water quality by trapping surface oils and 

suspended particles. The filter cartridge should be cleared once a month, 

or as needed for optimum performance.
J-230, J-270 and J-280 Models:
