Welcome to our forum.
I believe mine may have failed because I let the hot tub sit for a couple of weeks without water while I was getting the electrical hooks up during summer. The dealer had warned me that it causes problems with the glue in the jets when they sit outside under the sun with no water in the tub. Jacuzzi covered the repairs without any issues. Also, make sure that you have 60 amps going to the hot tub and you must change the default amperage by accessing the control panel by pushing the left arrrow 4 times and then the right arrow 4 times and then the center button.

I am sure your dealer may have said this, but it was not the cause..BS for sure, this is a unique situation and now that we've seen it mentioned here twice I'm wondering if it a material issue with those jets or a design issue but it better not be because the spa sat without water, if the spa sitting empty was really the problem then they'd have an even bigger issue on their hands.
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.
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.
