Jacuzzi PowerPro PX jet removal
Hot Spring Ace:
--- Quote from: Kirra on January 07, 2013, 01:56:33 am ---Back on my statement, the dealer had warned me about not leaving the spa sit empty without water in it due to the dangerously levels of heat that builds up during the springs/summer months. That being said, it sat empty for about 3 to 4 weeks before it was hooked up. Immediately upon start up, two of the lounge jets floated up.
Not sure why, don't really care since they fixed them without any issues, minus having to reorder them from Jacuzzi a few differernt times since they received the 2011 version vs 2012 version jets or something like that.
They've been working great every sense.
The J-480 is an amazing machine.

You should never leave a spa empty without the cover on but that standard warning that is always given is relative to the shell surface blistering, not the jets. It sounds like maybe there was warping or plastic shrinkage of these jets due to the sunlight which is not typical but maybe the dealer knew that there was this specific concern in this case. Glad they made all well for you, in the future if you ever drain and are not refilling immediately just leave the cover on and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the advise. I actually left the cover on, but propped it open as advised so it had some air circulations inside. Not sure if that was correct or not, either way I don't plan on leaving it sit empty again. Overall, this spa is amazing.

Then you did right and I don't even see the need to prop it open. There is nothing wrong with having an empty spa if you leave the cover on.
Chas:
I concur with the Ace - when empty, your spa MUST remain covered, as you have done.
Propping the lid is nice to keep it from getting musty, but the important thing is:
"DON'T leave the Hot Spring spa exposed to the sun without water or the cover
in place. exposure to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of the
shell material."
This is a direct cut and paste from the Owner's Manual.
