Jacuzzi J - 355 Owner's Manual - Attention New Spa Owner!
Attention New Spa Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Jacuzzi® spa! The following is a list of
automated functions performed by your spa. These functions are listed below in an
attempt to alleviate any operational concerns you may have during the first 24-hours
of ownership! Also listed below are important maintenance recommendations you
should observe on a regular basis to protect your new investment.
Automated Operations
Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the first filtration/
heating cycle turns on pump 1. An automatic five minute “blow-out” function
also activates pump 2 for a period of five minutes to flush all lines. Then, after five
minutes, pump 2 turns off and pump 1 continues to operate for the duration of the
cycle.
Note: This function only occurs during the first filtration/heating cycle each
day.
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters as
defined by the Association of Pool And Spa Professionals/USA:
pH
7.4-7.6
Free Chlorine
3.0-4.0 ppm
Free Bromine
2.0-4.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity
100-120 ppm
Calcium Hardness
150-250 ppm
Always maintain your spas filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer
“Water Quality Maintenance” for additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water filtration system that provides
unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all times, you
should clean both filter cartridges every month, or earlier as necessary. See page
for detailed filter cartridge cleaning/replacement instructions.
Required Water Replacement
You should replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a
number of variables including frequency of use, number of users, and attention paid
to water quality maintenance. 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 param-
eters. See page
