LED Series Owner’s Manual

Attention New Spa Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Jacuzzi Premium spa!
Listed below are important maintenance recommendations you
should observe on a regular basis to protect your new investment.
Filter Maintenance
Your new spa is equipped with an advanced 2-stage water filtration
system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maxi-
mum water quality at all times, you should clean and reuse the
skimmer bag and both filter cartridges every month. See page 30-
31 for detailed filter cleaning/replacement instructions.
Water Maintenance
You will want to replace the spa’s water every 3 to 6 months. The
frequency depends on a number of variables including the frequency
of use, number of users, attention paid to water quality mainte-
nance, 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 measure-
ments are all within the proper parameters. See page 35 for addi-
tional information.

1.0 Important Spa Owner Information
Your Jacuzzi® Premium 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 directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for
an extended period is subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by
exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered by warranty. We recommend
that you always keep the spa full of water when it is exposed to direct sun-
light and that you keep the Jacuzzi Premium insulating cover in place at all
times when the spa is not in use. Read and carefully follow the requirements
for your spa’s support base found in section 4.0 titled, “Choosing a Location”
(Page 6).
Jacuzzi Premium constantly strives to offer the finest spas available, therefore
modifications and enhancements may be made which affect the specifica-
tions, illustrations and/or instructions contained herein.

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be followed, including:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE
SPA!
2. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
3. WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to con-
nect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor between
this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equip-
ment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
4. DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exer-
cised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents,
ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all
times.
5. DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match
the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to
replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are
compatible. Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or
missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow
rate marked on the original suction fitting.
6. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal
surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of
metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected
(bonded) by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor
attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equip-
ment compartment on the equipment box.
7. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance,
such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5m) of a
spa, unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
8. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: The electrical supply for this product must include
a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to
the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the spa water.
9. WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
A. The water in a spa should never exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Water tempera-
tures between 100 °F (38 °C) and 104 °F (40°C) are considered safe for
a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young
children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
Page 2

B. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal
damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly preg-
nant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100 °F (38 °C). If
pregnant, please consult your physician before using a spa.
C. Before entering the spa, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-
regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5 °F (2 °C).
D. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may
lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. Persons using
medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some
medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may affect
heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
E. Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease, low
or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should
consult a physician before using a spa.
3.1 IMPORTANT CSA SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CANADA ONLY)
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground, Grounding
or the symbol*is located inside the supply terminal box or compart-
ment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be con-
nected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service
panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors that supply this equipment (*IEC Publication 417, Symbol
5019 ) .
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the external
surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/compartment. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid
in the area of the spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare
copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG (10mm2).
4. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other
similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded to
the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller than
No. 6 AWG (10mm2).
5. Save These Instructions:
A. WARNING: Children should not use spas without adult supervision.
B. WARNING: Do not use spas unless all suction guards are installed to
prevent body and hair entrapment.

J. WARNING: Prolonged immersion in a spa may be injurious to your
health.
K. WARNING: Do not permit electric appliances (such as light, telephone,
radio, television, etc.) within 5 feet (1.5m) of this spa unless factory
installed.
L. CAUTION: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
M. WARNING: The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of
fatal hyperthermia in spas.
3.2 HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A description of
the causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 °F (37 °C).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase
in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
AUnawareness of impending hazard;
B. Failure to perceive heat;
C. Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
D. Physical inability to exit spa;
E. Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
F. Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
3.3 CAUTIONS
1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pres-
sure, and any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant women,
the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before using a spa.
Page 4

2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has stated that the water
temperature in a spa should not exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Immersion in
water in excess of 104 °F (40 °C) can be hazardous to your health.
3. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures at
higher temperatures can cause high body temperature. Symptoms may
include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced awareness.
These effects could possibly result in drowning.
4. Do not use the spa under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or other
drugs. Use of the spa under these conditions may lead to serious conse-
quences.
5. Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa. Enter and
exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
6. Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never operate
any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you are wet unless
such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
7. Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain
safe water and prevent possible damage to spa components.
8. Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use.
This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering the spa
and keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions. There is no rep-
resentation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks will prevent
access to the spa.
3.4 GENERAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Jacuzzi Premium spa is equipped with a "state-of-the-art" equip-
ment system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective equip-
ment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must be installed properly to
insure dependable usage. Please contact your dealer or local building
department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi Premium spas are equipped
with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided on the
surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door (Figure B, Page
11) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point and any ground
metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa,
or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding
wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper wire. This is a most
important safety assurance feature. Before installing this spa, check with the
local building department to insure installation conforms to local building
codes.
Page 5

120/240 Volt Convertible Models
A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close
enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the included
power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD as this could cause damage to the spa’s equipment due to
insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this spa must be a dedicated
circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the power provided by the
circuit.
4.0 Choosing A Location
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water
and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the
spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting
this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in
place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these require-
ments, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage
caused by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the respon-
sibility of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support over time.
We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thick-
ness of 4 inches (10cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is
constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above. The spa
must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away from the
spa. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage
could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the equipment
and create a wet condition in which it would sit. For spas which will be
recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access to the equip-
ment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are
no obstructions which would prevent removal of the cabinet side panels and
access to the jets components, especially on the side with the equipment
bay doors.
4.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you
take into consideration:
1. The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather).
2. The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so that
dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).
