The jacuzzi tub is a luxury that many dreams to have in their home. Unfortunately, there are several things that need to be taken into consideration before having a jacuzzi tub installed.
Maintenance is the most important thing you should note. The efficiency of your jacuzzi depends on its proper maintenance. It requires more than just an annual checkup to be considered as properly maintained. If you want to use it for a long time, you must ensure that it is in good condition or else you will incur more losses than benefits.
How to turn on jacuzzi tub?
Once you have made sure that your jacuzzi tub is definitely in good condition and there are no damages, you can now start turning it on.
Firstly, you need to get your hose ready with the hot water supply line together with a valve that is capable of controlling the flow of hot water into the tub, an adapter and an extension cord. Try not to use more than 50 feet in length of the cord. If it has an excess cord, there is a likelihood that it will be tripping out the system.
Ensure that you have turned off all circuits for electricity before doing this. Make sure to use a voltmeter to check whether there is still current in the circuit or not.
If there is no power supply, you can now start filling your tub with water. You need to make sure that you do not go beyond the maximum level marked on the tub.
On second thought, you might be wondering if it is possible to fill your jacuzzi with hot water. Well, it is definitely possible, but you have to make sure that there are leakages in the system as hot water leakages would mean repairs and repairs mean extra costs.
Once your tub is full of water, you can now turn on the electricity supply to see if it lights up or not. If there is a problem with the lighting circuit, then you will have to do some rewiring.
On a second thought again, make sure that your control panel does not show any signs of rust, as it could lead to malfunctions in the system.
After turning on the power supply, wait for at least two minutes before allowing any electric appliances to be operated inside your jacuzzi bathtub.
Turn on your jets and adjust the temperature of the water to ensure that it is ideal for use. If you feel that there is excess air in your tub, open up your main drain until you no longer feel it.
Steps on how to check if your jacuzzi is in proper condition
Make sure that the temperature of your home is set at 28 degrees Celsius. This is the ideal temperature that your jacuzzi tub can be set at.
If you have a gas-powered hot water heater, make sure to turn off the electricity if there is an emergency as this would cause a blast. If you have an electric-powered water heater, make sure to switch it off from its main circuit before unscrewing it.
If you have a gas-powered hot water heater, make sure to open the valve slowly and check if any bubbles come out as this would mean that there is still an accumulation of pressure in the system. If you notice that there are no bubbles coming out after opening the valve, close it halfway and attach your wrench on its lower plug and open up the valve completely. If there is no accumulation of pressure, it means that the system is free from any gas leak.
If you happen to use your jacuzzi tub for the first time, keep in mind that there will be bubble formation inside the system. This is something that you cannot avoid as this is normal to ensure that you are now safe to move into your jacuzzi tub.
Although bubbles are something good to keep in mind that your tub is functional, you need to make sure that it does not result in over foaming inside the tub. If this happens, there is a likelihood that there are air leaks in the system.
After using your jacuzzi, turn off the circuit and drain all of the water before shutting it down completely.
