The Aero Plus™ Portable Whirlpool Spa Installation Instructions The Aero™ Plus—a portable whirlpool spa by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath—is a revolutionary spa of unparalleled design. Its graceful, free-flowing lines provide aesthetic pleasure, and its full-featured elegance provides the comfort and luxurious spa experience you expect from a Jacuzzi® whirlpool spa.
INSTALLATION Installation Instructions Inspection and Shipping Claim Check for shipping damage upon receipt of the spa. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damage to the spa sustained during shipping. If damage is evident before unpacking, see instructions regarding shipping claims on the outside of the carton and immediately file a claim with the carrier.
INSTALLATION Positioning Your Spa Because your Aero Plus spa is portable, you can locate it just about anywhere you wish—on a deck,patio, or even indoors. Just be sure to position it above ground in an area with good drainage and on a level, continuous surface which can support the weight of the spa when filled with water and people; this weight is approximately 3201 lbs. (72 lbs. per square foot). You must also provide access to the spa’s equipment for service and general maintenance.
INSTALLATION Electrical Precautions (Continued) CAUTION Do not apply electrical power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level, which is approx. 6" below the spa rim (see location of water level indicator on face of skimmer on page 7). If the spa’s motor/pumps are actuated when there is not sufficient water in the unit, the circulation pump could be irreparably damaged. Not heeding this caution will nullify the warranty.
INSTALLATION Outdoor Installation Indoor Installations If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend that you provide a concrete pad for it to rest on. To do this, construct forms for a 8' x 8' x 4" thick level pad. Install a #10 gauge wire mesh 6" x 6" steel reinforced grid. Attach a #8 solid copper wire to the grid with a ground clamp. This wire should be long enough to reach the bond bar on the spa electrical cabinet (min. 36"), but should not be located under the base of the spa.
INSTALLATION Equipment Set-Up 1.Remove the plastic sheet covering the spa. Use care; stepping into the spa with shoes will scratch the acrylic surface. 2.Remove any packing materials from the spa. 3.Remove each filter cartridge from its plastic bag. 4. Pull open each skimmer/filter door by the handle located in the middle of the door and remove the skimmer basket.
OPERATION Operating Instructions Now that your Venterra spa is in place, you are probably eager to take advantage of its unique designed-in features—especially the patented Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath hydromassage performance. Besides being a beautiful addition to your indoor decor or outdoor landscaping, your Jacuzzi whirlpool spa will provide you with the ultimate in spa pleasure.
OPERATION Basic Control Set-Up (Continued) • Open the skirt door giving access to the electrical cabinet. • Your spa is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). At initial start-up and at least once a month thereafter, with the plug connected to power, push the test button located on the spa electrical panel. The reset button should pop out. Push this button in to reset.
OPERATION Controls ACC (Accessory) A switch panel giving you convenient control of the jets, filter, heater/filter, light and air blower is located on the spa rim. The ACC (Accessory) switch controls these functions in the continuous sequence indicated: 1. OFF To ensure your safety and allow easy operation, your spa is equipped with two air-activated switches. One, the SYSTEM switch, controls the whirlpool jets, heat, and filtration.
OPERATION Temperature Control Turn on the heater by selecting the HTR/FILTER mode with the SYSTEM switch. With this selection, you can verify that the spa’s heater is operating by viewing the indicator light on the spa control panel. Set the HEATER knob by rotating it to the desired temperature. When the water temperature is lower than that set by the HEATER knob, the heater and filter pump will be activated. The heater will automatically turn off when the desired temperature is reached.
OPERATION Normal Operation Whirlpool System: Water Rainbow Spout You can enjoy the Aero Plus spa with or without activating the whirlpool. Either way, bathing in your spa can be pleasurable, as well as therapeutic. After a busy, stressful day, you can look forward to soaking in your spa in still water with no turbulence—only the gentle warmth of the soothing and relaxing water.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance Water Quality and Water Chemistry Maintaining water quality and water chemistry in your spa is extremely important and should be a regular part of your spa maintenance program, as a neglected spa can be a breeding place for dangerous bacteria. The water quality of your spa is maintained by a combination of filtration and chemistry.
MAINTENANCE Water Chemistry (Continued) Disinfecting: When filling the spa for the first time, follow the purge/ sanitizing instructions in the Equipment Set-Up procedure of the Installation Instructions. Add a disinfectant to the water on a regular basis to help control the amount of bacteria, algae and organic materials. Such bacterial contaminants, if not controlled, could cause skin rashes or other physical problems.
MAINTENANCE Water Level/Drain The water level in the spa must be maintained at its normal level. Evaporation and splashing will cause the water level to drop. When concentrations of impurities from evaporation, water quality chemicals, body oils, perfumes, dirty feet, and winds, etc., accumulate in the spa and cannot be filtered out, it is necessary to drain your spa and refill it with fresh water. This should be done every 2 months or more often, depending on the amount of use.
MAINTENANCE Automatic Filtration/Maintenance If you plan to be away, you should maintain minimum water quality by running the filter system. To do this, set the timer to turn the system on for at least two hours each day. This will cause the filter system to turn on at a desired time. Set the timer according to instructions on page 8 with the SYSTEM switch OFF. If you do not want the water to be heated, turn the Temp. Control knob to its minimum setting.
MAINTENANCE Spa Light Covering Your Spa Two colored lenses are provided with your spa. To change the lens, simply pull the lens out of the fitting and replace it with the desired colored lens. Two replacement bulbs (#912) are also included. Put them in a safe place for future use. When a bulb burns out, replace it from the back of the light fitting, pulling out the bulb receptacle. An optional rigid spa cover is available to place on top of the spa.

Alternate Use of Water Rainbow Spout as Fill Spout You can use your Water Rainbow spout as a fill spout by permanently plumbing it to a fresh water supply if local codes permit. Local plumbing codes may require the use of an anti-siphon valve for such a connection. Do not interconnect water supply with recirculating system of the spa. To make the connections necessary to use the Water Rainbow as a fill spout, follow this procedure: • Make sure spa is unplugged and completely drained.
