Restarting your spa in cold weather

If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time
in freezing temperatures, check whether the water remaining in
certain sections of the piping is still frozen: this situation may
block water flow preventing the spa from operating properly and
possibly damaging the equipment.
Under these circumstances we recommend contacting your
reseller prior to attempting to restart the spa.
Water quality maintenance
Maintaining the quality of the water within specified limits will
serve to enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the sys-
tem. It is a fairly simple task, but it requires regular attention because
the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.
A careless attitude in regard to water maintenance will result
in poor and potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and
may even damage your spa.
For specific guidance on maintaining water quality, consult your
dealer who can recommend appropriate chemical products for
sanitizing and maintaining your spa.
CAUTION: Never store spa chemicals in the compart-
ments for chemcials which are located under the spa.
pH Control
pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is
measured on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to
be neutral. Above this value the water is alkaline and below
it, it is acidic.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A SLIGHTLY
ALKALINE CONDITION OF 7.4 to 7.6.
A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the spa equipment. A high pH
will cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling); in addi-
tion, the ability of the sanitation agents to keep the spa clean is
severely affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range.
With CLEARRAY
pH 7.4-7.6
Free Chlorine no less than 1.0 ppm
Free Bromine no less than 2.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity 100-120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm
IMPORTANT: CLEARRAY™ Water Purification System is factory in-
stalled. If the CLEARRAY™ system is altered or is not operating ef-
ficiently then follow the "without CLEARRAY™" water chemistry pa-
rameters. CLEARRAY™ requires an annual lamp replacement to
properly sanitize your water.
Sanitizing
To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the water, use a
sanitation product regularly, available from your dealer.
Without CLEARRAY™
7.4-7.6
3.0-4.0 ppm
2.0-4.0 ppm
100-120 ppm
150-250 ppm

CAUTION: Do not use chlorine tablets (Trichlor) in your
spa: this chemical can have an extremely corrosive effect
on certain materials in the spa. Damage caused by use
of this chemical, or improper use of any chemicals, is
not covered under the spa's warranty.
CLEARRAY™ Water Purification System
CLEARRAY Water Purification System is exclusive technology
utilizing natural ultraviolet technology to eliminate waterborne
bacteria, viruses, and algae in portable spas. The ultraviolet light
otherwise know as UV-C or germicidal light inactivates the mi-
croorganisms disrupting the DNA so that it cannot reproduce and
is considered lifeless. CLEARRAY is plumbed in-line with your
filtration system. After the water is drawn from the pump, filter,
and heater it is then directed though the CLEARRAY system. Wa-
ter passes through an ultraviolet light energy that treats and
disinfects the water. The water is then pumped back into the s-
pa giving you crystal clear water instantly. The system has a bal-
last that is the power supply for the purification system; it has
two LED indicator lights the green indicating incoming power
flow and the red indicating the system is properly working.
CLEARRAY is standard for all models.
Note: The CLEARRAY System only runs when the circulation
pump is running and shuts off when either jets pump is manu-
ally activated during spa use. The system will remain off for 5
minutes after both jets pumps time out or are manually turned
off, then resume operations if the circulation pump is pro-
grammed to run.
After a year the lamp bulb must be replaced. If the UV timer has
been programmed correctly a message will appear on the LED
display when the time allotted has expired. In order to clear the
"blb" message a new UV lamp bulb needs to be installed and the
timer must be reset.
Troubleshooting
Display Messages
There are a number of unique functions designed into your
Jacuzzi spa to protect it from damage and/or to aid in trou-
bleshooting. When an error occurs the spa will notify you by
showing the screen below and an error code next to it. Also
the indicator light located on the front cabinet panel of the spa
is an early detection system that will notify you when the spa
needs immediate attention. A solid white light indicates that
all operations are normal. A solid red light indicates that imme-
diate attention is required to clear or fix an error code. Fol-
lowing is a listing of all the possible messages along with
their meanings
"OVERHEAT PROTECTION"
Overheat Protection (Heater is deactivated, circulation pump
is activated).
