Draining And Refilling; Keep Your Spa Clean - Jacuzzi J-LXL Manuel D'installation Et Utilisation Et Entretien

Periodically, the filter cartridge will need a more thorough clean-
ing to remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest
cleaning as illustrated in step "F", followed by soaking the filter
overnight in a plastic container filled with a solution of water and
specially formulated filter cleanser available from your authorized
Jacuzzi dealer. The average life expectancy of each filter is approxi-
mately two years with proper care and water quality maintenance.
Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your authorized
Jacuzzi dealer.

Draining and refilling

About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the water in
the spa. Frequency of water replacement depends on frequency
of use, care taken in maintaining water quality, etc.
You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control
suds and/or you can no longer see the normal sparkle to the wa-
ter, even though the key water balance measurements are all
within the proper parameters.
WARNING! Turn off power to spa before draining it. Do not
turn the power back on until your spa has been refilled.
If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors, freezing could occur
in the pipes of the hydraulic system (see the section on "Winterizing").
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa.

Keep your spa clean

To preserve the sheen of your spa's surface, it is crucial that you
avoid using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse ef-
fects on the surface.
Regardless of the cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no
soap residue is left on the surface. This could cause suds when the
spa is refilled.
