Aenon New Swim Spa Owner!
Congratulaons on the purchase of your new Jacuzzi™ swim spa! The following is a list of au-
tomated funcons performed by your swim spa. These funcons are listed below in an
aempt to suppress any operaonal concerns you may have during the first 24 hours of own-
ership! Also listed below are important maintenance recommendaons you should observe
on a regular basis to protect your new investment.
Maintain Healthy Swim Spa Water
Always maintain your swim spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters:
With CLEARRAY® Without CLEARRAY®
pH 7.4—7.6 7.4—7.6
Free chlorine No less than 1.0 ppm 3.0—4.0 ppm
Free bromine No less than 2.0 ppm 2.0—4.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity 100—150 ppm 100—150 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150—250 ppm 150—250 ppm
IMPORTANT: CLEARRAY® Water Purificaon System is factory installed. If the CLEARRAY® sys-
tem is altered or is not operang efficiently then follow the “without CLEARRAY® water chem-
istry parameters as defined by the Associaon of Pool and Spa Professionals. CLEARRAY® re-
quires an annual bulb replacement to properly sanize your water.
TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! Always maintain your spa
filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new swim spa is equipped with an advanced water filtraon system that provides unsur-
passed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all mes, you should clean the
skimming filter cartridge every 3 months, or as necessary.
Required Water Replacement
You should replace the swim spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a num-
ber of variables including frequency of use, number of users and aenon paid to water qual-
ity maintenance. You will know it is me for a change when you cannot control sudsing
or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water, even though the key water
balance measurements are within the proper parameters.

1.0 Important Spa Owner Informaon
Your Jacuzzi® Swim Spa is constructed to the highest standards and is capable of providing
many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat retenve materials are ulized to in-
sulate the swim spa for efficient operaon, an uncovered swim spa surface and wall fings
directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period are subject to per-
manent damage or discoloraon. Damage caused by exposing the swim spa to this abuse is
not covered under warranty. We recommend that you always keep the swim spa full of water
when it is exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the Jacuzzi® insulang cover in place
at all mes when the swim spa is not in use. Read and carefully follow the requirements for
your swim spa’s support base found in Secon 4.0 tled, “Choosing a Locaon”.
Jacuzzi® swim spas constantly strives to offer the finest swim spas available, therefore,
modificaons and enhancements may be made which affect the specificaons, illustraons
and/or instrucons contained herein.
2.0 WARNINGS
Jacuzzi Europe S.p.A. declines all liability for damages arising from failure to observe the
following direcons.
For periodic filling, if you decide to connect the swim spa hydraulic circuit to the public
water system that supplies drinking water, this connecon must be carried out in com
pliance with the EN1717 norm, using “AA”, “AB” or “AD” an-polluon protecon proce
dures. For further informaon, we recommend you contact your water supply company
and/or your plumber.
Do not connect the swim spa to the hydraulic system using hoses used to water the gar
den.
CAUTION: Before preparing the drainage system for connecng the swim spa, consult
the local authories about regulaons for the disposal of chemically-treated water.
In areas where winter temperatures frequently drop below 0oC, during the period when the
swim spa is not in use, it is recommended to completely empty the system (swim spa, com-
pensaon tanks, pipes, filter.
In areas where temperatures drop below 0oC only occasionally, the swim spa can be kept in
operaon as it includes a “freeze protecon” feature that guarantees the maintenance of a
minimum water temperature.

6
In case of long periods of inacvity, it is advisable to fully drain the system. Periodic drainage,
during normal use, varies depending on the frequency of use, the contaminants and the type
of installaon. Even if not used parcularly frequently, you should change the water at least
once a month.
Prolonged sun exposure could damage the material of which the swim spa shell is made,
due to its capacity to absorb heat (dark colours in parcular). Do not leave the swim spa
exposed to the sun without adequate protecon when not in use (thermal cover, gaze
bo, etc.). Any damage resulng from failure to observe these warnings are not covered
by the product warranty.
Live components and equipment (except those powered at very low voltage not exceed-
ing 12V) must be out of reach of individuals in the swim spa.
Jacuzzi® swim spas are class “1” appliances and must therefore be permanently connected,
without intermediate juncons, to the electrical network and to the protecon circuit
(grounding system).
Parts containing electrical components, with the excepon of remote control devices,
must be posioned or fixed so that they cannot fall into the swim spa.
The appliance must be powered by means of a differenal switch with operang current
which does not exceed 30mA.
The installer must use cables with a suitable cross-secon with minimum characteriscs
equivalent to type H 05 VV-F. Please refer to the corresponding secon.
For the equipotenal connecon of the appliance the installer must use the terminal provid-
ed and idenfied by the ground symbol. Please refer to the corresponding secon. It is imper-
ave to build a support base adequate to the load of the swim spa.
It is imperave to provide a drainage system for accidental water spills. Please refer to the
corresponding secon.

7
For connecon to the supply network, we recommend installing an isolang mul-pole
switch, which will ensure complete disconnecon in the event of a category III over-voltage;
these devices must be placed in an area that complies with the safety regulaons.
CAUTION! Before carrying out any maintenance operaons, disconnect the appliance
from the power supply line.
CAUTION: (IEC 60335-1) The pressure of the hydraulic system that supplies the equip-
ment must not exceed 600 kPa (6 bar) and, in case water is supplied through solenoid
valve(s) (eg. Balance tank) the pressure must have a minimum value of 35 kPa (0.35
bar).
This equipment may be used by children above the age of 8 or individuals with reduced mo-
bility, sensory and/or cognive abilies only if supervised and only if they have the knowledge
necessary to use the equipment safely, as well as to understand the dangers arising from im-
proper use.
Children must be supervised to make sure they do not play with the equipment and donot
carry out operaons to be performed by adults and/or specialized personnel (maintenance,
cleaning operaons, etc.).
Do not use water with temperatures exceeding 40oC.
Tolerance to hot water varies from person to person. Pregnant women and small children
must not use the swim spa without first consulng a doctor and, in any case, the water tem-
perature must be less than 38oC.
Be very careful when using the swim spa alone. Prolonged immersion in warm water may
cause nausea, dizziness and fainng. If you intend to use the swim spa for more than 10-15
minutes, a lower water temperature must be set. This also applies to children.

8
CAUTION: Do not sit, walk or lie on the cover. Do not place objects on it.
CAUTION: Only “load bearing” covers are designed to support weights (MAX 200 kg),
but they should not be subjected to sudden and strong forces (jumps, etc.). Do not sit,
walk or lie down on other types of covers (non-load bearing); do not store objects on
top of the cover.
In order to avoid accidental falls in the swim spa, we recommend that the locking system sup-
plied with the insulang cover is installed.
Persons with heart condions, diabetes, high or low blood pressure or health problems must
not use the swim spa without first consulng their doctor.
People with infecous diseases should not use the swim spa without first consulng their doc-
tor.
Do not use the swim spa aer drinking alcohol, taking drugs or medicaon that cause drowsi-
ness or that can raise/lower the blood pressure.
Do not use the swim spa in extreme weather condions (during storms etc.).
Persons under medical care must consult a doctor before using the swim spa, as some medi-
caons can cause drowsiness, affect heartbeat, blood pressure and circulaon.
Be very careful when geng in and out of the swim spa. All surfaces are slippery when wet.
When using the swim spa, do not use objects that can breakor that are fragile.
When using the swim spa, you must keep your head, body and clothes at a distance of at least
40 cm from the sucon intakes; long hair must be ed back and secured in place. Do not use
electrical appliances (radios, hair dryers) near the swim spa if it is not empty.
Do not remove the protecve grilles from the sucon intakes. Do not turn on the swim spa if
the protecve grilles are broken or missing; in this case, contact an authorized Jacuzzi® dealer
or an authorized Service Centre for replacement.

SUCTION COVERS MUST BE REPLACED EVERY 5 YEARS.
Prolonged sun exposure could damage the material of which the swim spa shell is
made, due to its capacity to absorb heat (dark colours in parcular) . Do not leave the
swim spa exposed to the sun without adequate protecon when not in use (thermal
cover, gazebo, etc.). Any damage resulng from failure to observe these warnings are
not covered by the product warranty.
For all operaons and maintenance of the swim spa, please refer to this manual and, where
indicated, contact an authorized Jacuzzi® service centre.
Please refer to the Jacuzzi system water treatment guide and the relave catalogue for details
on water quality maintenance, the relave methods and instrucons of use of chemical prod-
ucts. Where indicated, contact an authorized Jacuzzi9r) service centre.
3.0 Important Safety Instrucons for all Swim Spa Owners.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
This swim spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specificaons outlined in the
“Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act” (VGB Safety Act). When installing and using
this swim spa, basic safety precauons should always be followed, including:
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!
 Use the straps and clip e downs to secure the swim spa cover when not in use. This will
help discourage unsupervised children from entering the swim spa. Keep the cover se-
cure in high wind condions.
 There is no representaon that the cover, clip e downs, or actual locks will prevent ac-
cess to the swim spa.
 Never operate or use the spa if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer assembly are broken or
any part of the skimmer assembly is missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest ser-
vice center for service.
 Never replace a sucon fing or sucon cover with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original sucon fing. Using improper sucon fings or sucon covers
can create a body or hair sucon entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or se-
vere injury.

10
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH FROM
ELECTROCUTION!
 Never operate any electrical appliance from inside the swim spa or when you are wet.
WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!
 Extreme cauon must be exercised to prevent diving or jumping into the swim spa or
slipping and falling, whichcould result in unconsciousness, drowning, or serious injury.
Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery.
 Never stand, walk or sit on the top railing of the swim spa. Always test the swim spa wa-
ter temperature before entering the swim spa. The user should measure the water tem-
perature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-
regulang devices may vary as much as +/- 5oF (2oC).
 If you experience breathing difficules in associaon with using or operang your swim
spa, disconnue use and consult your physician.
 Never use a swim spa immediately following strenuous exercise. Enter and exit the swim
spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be slippery.
 To reduce the risk of contracng a waterborne illness (e.g. an infecon, bacteria or virus)
and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water chemistry within the parameters listed on
the inside cover of this manual and consult with a licensed engineer regarding proper
venlaon if installed indoors or in an enclosed area.
 Always shower before and aer using your swim spa. Maintain water chemistry in ac-
cordance with manufacturer’s instrucons. Failure to do so may result in contracng a
waterborne illness (e.g. an infecon, bacteria or virus)
WARNING: In addion to maintenance of filters and water chemistry, proper
venlaon is recommended to reduce the risk of contracng a waterborne illness (e.g. an in-
fecon, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be present in the air or water.
Consult a licensed architect or building contractor to determine your specific needs if in-
stalling your swim spa indoors.
 Maintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s instrucons.
 Proper chemical maintenance of swim spa water is necessary to maintain safe water and
prevent possible damage to swim spa components.
