Jacuzzi J - 210 Owner's Manual - To Drain Spa:
page 26
To accomplish this, follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to the spa at the home’s breaker panel or select
the L1 “Lock Out” mode (page 24) to disable all spa functions.
2. Remove the filter strainer lid assembly.
3. Remove the filter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to
unthread it from the filter wall fitting, then lift it straight up to remove
from filter well.
4. Using a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle, rinse debris
from the filter pleats beginning at the top and working your way
downward. Continue, one section at a time, until you have rinsed all
of the filter’s pleats.
Periodically, the filter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to
remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as
above and then soaking the cartridge overnight in a plastic container
filled with a solution of water and a specially formulated filter cleaner
available from your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. The average life expec-
tancy of a Jacuzzi filter cartridge is approximately two years with proper
care and water quality maintenance. A replacement cartridge may be
purchased from your dealer.
12.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The fre-
quency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use,
attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is time
for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer
get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key water
balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.
WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent
damage to the spa’s components,
turn off power to the spa
at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the
power back on until your spa has been refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind
when draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is
outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment,
see “WINTERIZING” (page 28). On the other hand, if it is hot
outdoors, do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct
sunlight.
To drain spa:
. Remove synthetic skirt panel below the control panel (page 9).
2. Remove drain hose behind synthetic skirt.
3. Raise end of drain hose above water line, then remove drain hose
