Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from •
suction ttings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid
entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
Never use the spa unless all suction guards, lter, lter lid, or skimmer •
assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair entrapment.
Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter lid, or skimmer assembly •
are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is missing. Please
contact your dealer or nearest service center for service.
The suction ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match •
the specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to
replace the suction ttings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that the
ow rates are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB Safety
Act page 2.
Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated less •
than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using improper
suction ttings or suction covers can create a body or hair suction
entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe injury.
Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair, Limb, •
Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical Entrapment,

12.1 Cleaning The Filters
to DeCrease Drowning or entraPMent, always turn
power To spa oFF BeFore CleanInG THe FIlTer CarTrIDGe!
J-210 models:
These model spas are equipped with a skimmer basket and lter
cartridge located in the skimmer/lter well. Filtering is accomplished
when jets pump #1 turns on in low speed initiating water ow through
the skimmer basket and polyester mesh lter cartridge. As this happens,
suspended particles become trapped on the lter’s surface.
To Clean Filter:
1. Turn off power to the spa at the home’s breaker panel or select the L1
“Lock Out” mode (page 29) to disable all spa functions.
2. Remove the lter strainer lid assembly.
3. Remove the lter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to unthread it
from the lter wall tting, then lift it straight up to remove from lter well.
4. Using a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle, rinse debris from
the lter pleats beginning at the top and working your way downward.
Continue, one section at a time, until you have rinsed all of the lter’s
pleats.
