Replace the ProClarity Depth filter
This one is on the calendar, not on how it looks
Your J-400 has a ProClarity Depth filter — the fibre depth-loading filter that sits behind the pleated cartridges. Unlike the pleated cartridges, you do not clean it. Jacuzzi says to replace it every 3 months.
What to do
- Turn power to the spa off at the breaker.
- Open the filter compartment and remove the ProClarity Depth filter.
- Fit a new one and reinstall the cartridges and skimmer shield.
- Turn the power back on.
Do not wash it
The manual is explicit: do not attempt to wash the ProClarity Depth filter or the debris bag — they come apart. Replace the depth filter; rinse the pleated cartridges and canister instead.
