Key Features & Benefits

Pre-Filter Protection

Catches larger debris before it reaches your filter cartridge, helping the cartridge underneath last longer.

Washable and Reusable

Engineered for seamless compatibility with original mounting points for secure placement.Hand-wash and reuse for multiple seasons instead of replacing it every cleaning cycle.

Direct Fit for J-400 Series

Designed to fit the ProPolish canister used on J-460, J-465, J-470, and J-480 spas from 2006–2012.

Works With Your Existing Cartridge

Installs over your 2540-384, 2540-387J, or 2540-383J filter cartridge, depending on model.

Updated 5" Design

Current version allows the secondary filter cartridge to install underneath the bag.

Easy to Identify

Rigid plastic ring with a 5" height and roughly 6" outer diameter — distinct from the separate debris/skimmer bag used on other Jacuzzi® series.

Product Overview

Every Jacuzzi® J-400™ Collection spa uses this mesh ProPolish® bag as the first line of defense in its filtration system. It sits above your main filter cartridge and catches larger debris — bugs, leaves, grass clippings, flower petals — before that debris can clog or foul the cartridge below it. Keeping this bag in good shape helps your filter cartridge last longer and keeps your spa water clearer between cleanings.

Part #2540-389 is the current 5" short-style bag, replacing older versions sold under part numbers 6540-512, 6540-513, 20076-001, and 6540-496. It's built with a rigid plastic mounting ring and a mesh bag body sized to fit over the secondary filter cartridge installed beneath it.

This bag fits J-400™ Collection spas built between 2006 and 2012, including the J-460™, J-465™, J-470™, and J-480™ models. It is not used on the J-495™, J-425™, or J-415™. Depending on your model and year, this bag works with cartridge #2540-384 (J-460) or #2540-387J (J-465, J-470, J-480), both sold separately.

The mesh bag is reusable — hand-wash it in dish soap and rinse it thoroughly between cleanings. Avoid Cartridge Cleaner or Instant Cartridge Cleaner products on this part, since they aren't meant for the mesh material. With regular cleaning, most owners get one to two seasons of use before the mesh wears out and needs replacing.

  • Replace the filter bag when:

    • The mesh is torn, frayed, or has visible holes
    • It no longer holds its shape on the plastic ring
    • It stays discolored or stiff even after washing
    • Water flow through the filter compartment seems reduced despite regular cleaning

    Sun exposure, spa chemical levels, and how often the tub is used all affect how long the bag lasts before it needs replacing.

  • Locate the ProPolish canister in your spa's filter compartment.

    Remove the existing filter bag and any cartridge installed underneath it.

    Rinse the canister area of loose debris before installing the new bag.

    Place the new 2540-389 filter bag into the canister.

    Install your filter cartridge (2540-384, 2540-387J, or 2540-383J) underneath the bag.

    Reinstall the canister lid and resume normal filtration.

  • Rinse the filter bag regularly to remove trapped debris. When it needs a deeper clean, hand-wash it in dish soap and rinse it thoroughly — at least three rinses — before reinstalling.

    Do not use Cartridge Cleaner or Instant Cartridge Cleaner on this filter bag. These products are formulated for pleated filter cartridges, not mesh bags, and can damage the material.

    With regular cleaning, this filter bag typically lasts up to two years before it needs replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It fits J-400 Series models J-460, J-465, J-470, and J-480 built between 2006 and 2012. It does not fit J-495, J-425, or J-415 models.
  • No. This is the ProPolish canister filter bag, not the debris attachment bag used inside the filter grille on other Jacuzzi® series. It's a smaller mesh bag with a rigid plastic ring.
  • Yes. This bag works as a pre-filter over a cartridge installed underneath it — it doesn't filter water on its own.
  • It's washable and reusable. Hand-wash with dish soap and rinse thoroughly; avoid cartridge cleaning solutions.
