8.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that
step. Make sure all drains are closed before you begin, page 40.
1. Prepare The Spa For Filling
• Clear all debris from the spa. Although the spa shell has been
polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with a specially
formulated spa cleaner. Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for
additional information prior to lling spa.
• If using the primary lter inlet to ll, remove lter cover, then remove
lter cartridge as outlined in Section 12.1 (page 37).
IMPORTANT: In most cases, lling the spa by placing the hose in
the footwell will not create an airlock, page 51. If you experience
an airlock we recommend lling by placing the end of your garden
hose into the primary lter inlet, page 37.
2. Fill Spa
• Place the end of your garden hose into the one of the following
primary lter inlet or footwell.

WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
DISEASE.
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of
contracting a waterborne
illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus)
and/or respiratory ailments
. Fill until water covers all jets but does not
touch the bottom of the lowest headrest. (DO NOT OVERFILL!)
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.
Never ll with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely
“hard,” it is preferable to ll half-way with hard water and the rest of
the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive
to metal components.
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up
sequence (Sec. 10.0, page 26). The heater and lter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel
ashes water temperature and “COL” or “ICE” this is normal, refer to
page 48 for additional information.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when
adding start-up chemicals in step 5.
