J-300 Series
8.0 spa Fill up procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that
step.
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 filling spa.
Remove filter cover, then remove filter cartridge as outlined in •
Section 12.1 (page 30).
2. Fill spa
Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket. •

Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely
“hard”, it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of
the way with softened water. You may fill entirely with hard water if
you use a special water additive available from your Jacuzzi dealer.

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!)
ImporTanT: Always fill your spa through the filter bucket after
draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in either
pump, preventing the pump from circulating water. Remove the
hose and replace the filter cartridge. Note: DO NOT overtighten
filter cartridge, finger tight only!
3. Turn on power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot
up sequence (sec. 10.0, page 25). The heater and filter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel LED
flashes water temperature and “COL” or “ICE” this is normal, refer to
page 38 for additional information.
4. activate Jets pumps
Turn on jets pump(s) to ensure proper mixing when adding
start-up chemicals in step 5.
