For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with this 

procedure.

1. 

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 filling spa.

Remove both ProClear™ 

• 

Plus skimmer, polishing filter lids and filters 

as illustrated in Section 14.1 (page 67).

2. 

Place the end of your garden hose into empty skimming filter bucket 

• 

(filter bucket on your left) as you stand next to the spa. Fill spa half 

way, then place the garden hose into the opposite filter bucket (filter 

bucket on your right) while adding the remaining fill water.

Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely 

“hard”, it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of 

the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive 

to metal components.

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 fill your spa through both filter buckets 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 both filter cartridges as illustrated in Section 14.1 (page 67).

3. 

 

Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker. 

The heater and filter/circulation pump will automatically 

activate. If the LCD display flashes the temperature 

icon and either “Water is below set-temp” or “Freeze 

protection” error, this is normal. Refer to page 74 for 

additional information.

4. 

 

Turn on all jets(s) pumps when adding chemicals in 

step 5 (see Section 11.2, page 50 to activate jets).
