4. Turn off power to the spa.
5. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and
locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure-A, page
2). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and heater.
Note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this
procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
6. Re-install synthetic cabinet side panel and cover spa so that no
casual moisture can enter into it.
Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions
regarding winter use or winterizing.
12.8 Restarting Your Spa in Cold Weather
If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time in freez-

equipment. We recommend you consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer
for guidance before attempting to re-start your spa under these condi-

on maintaining water quality, consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer
who can recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and
maintaining your spa.
CAUTION: Never store spa chemicals inside the spa’s equip-

13.1 pH Control

sured on a scale of 0 to 4. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral,
