1.0 Important Spa Owner Information
Your Jacuzzi®J-200 series 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 effi-
cient operation, an uncovered spa surface directly exposed to sunlight
and high temperatures for an extended period is subject to permanent
full of water when it is exposed to direct sunlight 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

fore modifications and enhancements may be made which affect

4.0 Choosing A Location
IMPORTANT:
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests
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 requirements,
caused by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the
responsibility of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support
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
that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side
cabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on the
side with the equipment bay.
4.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you

• The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to
place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
4.2 Indoor Location
• Proper Foundation: -
ing a foundation that will adequately support the spa the entire time
roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into the main structural
experience in this type of application.
• Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place mea-
flooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage and can
for ceilings and other structures that may be below the spas instal-
lation. Areas around your spa can become wet or moist so all floor-
ing and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures should
be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
•Proper Ventilation:
-
sary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air associ-
-
erable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing mold
and mildew over time which can damage certain surfaces and/or
surroundings.
• Sufficient Access: In the unlikely event that you should ever need
to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is
highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to pro-
vide full access to the entire spa.
• Warranty:
improper installation not in accordance to local codes or authorities

state or city building ordinances.
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of filters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce
the risk of exposure to viruses and bacteria that could be
present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect
or building contractor to determine your specific needs if
installing your spa indoors.

Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized
6. Establish A Stable Sanitizer Reading
maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended
the inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabi-
lized, perform the decontamination procedure steps 9-15 on page
Note: the “decontamination procedure” steps 9-15 should
also be used after the spa has been “Winterized” (section 11.7 page
28) or has been sitting without power for an extended period.

• The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the
thermostat setting is achieved.
8.Place Cover On Spa
• Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the spa is not in use
will reduce the time required for heating, thereby minimizing operat-
ing costs.
• The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the start-
ing water temperature.
Decontamination Procedure (Steps 9-15)
Steps 9-15 pages below are only required when sanitizer levels are
unstable after performing steps 1-6 above. Disregard steps 9-15 below
if sanitizer levels remain stable at 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or 2.0-4.0 ppm
bromine after performing steps 1-6.
9. Add 2.5 ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons of water.
Refer to the table below for approximate water ll volume by model.

Important Heater Details:
• The maximum water temperature setting for your spa is 104°F
(40°C) and the minimum setting is 65°F (18°C).
• For spas connected to a 40 amp service, jets pump #1 must be set
to low speed and jets pump #2 must be turned off to operate the
heater.
• Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating
process. This will only result in a higher ultimate temperature.
• The heater operates until the water reaches the programmed “set
temperature”, then turns off. The heater will reactivate after the
water cools to approximately 1.5° below the set temperature.
