Maintain healthy spa water by adhering to specific water chemistry parameters. With the CLEARRAY® system, maintain a pH of 7.4-7.6, free chlorine no less than 1.0 ppm, and free bromine no less than 2.0 ppm. Without CLEARRAY®, free chlorine should be 3.0-4.0 ppm. Regular filter maintenance and water replacement every three months are crucial.
Safety Instructions
Follow all safety instructions to prevent injury or drowning. Supervise children, secure the spa cover when not in use, and keep hair and loose clothing away from suction fittings. Electrical safety is paramount; install the spa at least 5 feet from metal surfaces and avoid using electrical appliances near the spa.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential for spa longevity. This includes cleaning filter cartridges, draining and refilling the spa, and maintaining the spa's interior and exterior components. The CLEARRAY® Water Purification System requires annual bulb replacement.
Troubleshooting

Important Spa Owner Information Your Jacuzzi® spa is constructed to the highest standards and is capable of providing many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for efficient operation, an uncovered spa surface and wall fittings directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period are subject to permanent damage or discoloration. Damage caused by exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered under warranty. We recommend that you always keep the spa full of water when it is exposed to direct sunlight and that...
