The filter cartridge must be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
It is advisable to soak the filter overnight in a plastic container filled
with a solution of water and a specific cleaning product.

The cartridge has a life cycle of about two years, provided it un-
dergoes regular maintenance and is used with good quality water.
Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your Jacuzzi Pre-
mium dealer.

The suction intakes of all J-210 models are equipped with fil-
ters that prevent any impurities from entering the massage selec-
tors and pump 2. These filters should be cleaned about every 2
months, or whenever there is a decrease in the performance of
the pump.

Draining and refilling

About every 3 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").
If the weather is very warm, do not leave the spa exposed to
direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa.
2. Remove the front panel under the control panel.
3. (fig. A) Cut the clamp and move the hose outwards, keeping
it above the level of water in the tub.
4. (fig. B) Unscrew the plug (1), place the hose in a ground
drainage point and turn the valve (2).

5. After draining the water, close the valve and screw in the
plug, without tightening excessively. Then place the hose back
in a vertical position and fasten it with a clamp (fig.A).
6. Reinstall the front panel and refer to the chapter o first start-
up to fill the spa.
N.B.: Always fill the mini-pool using the filter fitting.
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 ad-
verse effects 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.
Headrest Care
Remove and clean the headrest cushions as needed with soapy
water using a cloth or soft-bristle brush.
N.B.: Always remove the pillows when adding chemical shock
treatment to the spa water. The pillows can be returned to the s-
pa when the sanitizer reading drops below 4 ppm.
To remove the headrests:
1. Grasp center pillow insert (A) with finger tips and gently pry
outward from pillow base (C).
2. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen and remove mounting
bolts (B) from pillow base.
3. Assemble in reverse order after cleaning, taking care not to
over tighten.
Maintaining the cover
Using the insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will
significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and main-
tenance requirements.
