Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment,
always follow basic safety precautions. Following these
instructions will help make your rst spa session a
pleasurable one.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: A licensed electrician may be required to upgrade
your standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.
DANGER -- RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING:
Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless
a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa
cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions
enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: The suction ttings
in this spa are sized to match the specic water ow
created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace
the suction ttings, or the pump, be sure the ow rates
are compatible.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the
spa if the suction tting or lter baskets are broken or
missing.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never replace a suction
tting with one that is rated less than the ow rate marked
on the original suction tting.
DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Install the
spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all metal surfaces.
As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet
of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
bonded by a minimum #8 AWG solid copper conductor
to the outside of the spa’s control box.
DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Do not
permit any external electrical appliances, such as lights,
telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within ve feet
(1.5 meters) of the spa. Never attempt to operate any
electrical device from inside the spa. This does not
apply to lights, stereos and televisions that are built into
the spa as factory options from Cal Spas™.
WARNING -- RISK OF INJURY
The spa water should never exceed 104˚F (40˚C). Water
temperatures between 100˚F (38˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C)
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water
temperatures are recommended for young children and
when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
High water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who
are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should
always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or
during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with the
possibility of drowning.
Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of heart
disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system
problems or diabetes should consult a physician before
using the spa.
Persons using medications should consult a physician
before using the spa since some medications may
induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate,
blood pressure and circulation.
Hyperthermia Danger
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to 6˚F
above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F (or 2˚C to
4˚C above 37˚C). While hyperthermia has many health
benets, it is important not to allow your body’s core
temperature to rise above 103˚F (39.5˚C). Symptoms
of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting. The effects of excessive
hyperthermia may include:
Failure to perceive heat•
Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub•
Unawareness of impending hazard•
Fetal damage in pregnant women•
Physical inability to exit the spa•
Unconsciousness•
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
Basic Spa Information
The following operating and maintenance instructions
are very important and must be followed carefully. With
the proper care and maintenance, your spa will provide
you with years of satisfaction and performance.
Do not be afraid to push buttons or turn knobs to learn
about your new spa, as it is built with quality materials
and excellent craftsmanship.
Your new spa has been engineered with a high-powered
water pump that pushes water through various therapy
2008 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual Page 1
LTR20081000, Rev. D
Page 4
Read This First!
jets, which will relax even the tightest muscles. In addition
to the water pressure, you can add air into the spa water
with air venturi handles located seat-side that increase
the intensity of your massage.
The ltering of this spa is very important. It will minimize
cleaning time and the amount of chemicals needed
to keep your spa water balanced. The two daily pre-
programmed lter cycles of two hours in duration can be
increased to six hour cycles if the need arises. This can
be accomplished through the topside control panel.
IMPORTANT: Keep the spa covered when not in use!
Covered spas use less electricity while maintaining •
a set temperature.
Covering your spa will protect your spa’s nish from •
the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain •
warranty coverage.
Covering your spa helps prevent children from •
drowning in the spa.
Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater.
Following the directions listed below will ensure the most
efcient operation:
NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two
hours a week.
Keep the spa’s operating temperature 5˚F below the •
desired usage temperature when not in use. One
or two hours before use, set the temperature to the
desired temperature.
The air venturis should be used sparingly. When •
open, water temperature drops quite rapidly and can
also dissipate chemicals.
Allowing the water temperature to lower more than 10˚F
below the desired usage temperature and reheating it
prior to usage will cause the heater to operate longer than
it normally would maintaining the desired temperature.
Doing this will increase your operating cost and makes
your heater work more than necessary.
The lter needs to be cleaned or changed on a regular
basis. This process takes only a few minutes and
the result is increased water clarity and equipment
longevity.
Water level is very important to the operation of your
spa. If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will
not operate properly. The water level should be to the
middle of the skimmer area when the spa is not being
used.
We recommend that your spa water be changed every
4 to 6 months. You may nd the need to change your
spa water more frequently with heavy use. When empty,
your spa should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner,
such as Cal Spas™ All Surface Cleaner, and then rinsed
thoroughly.
See the section “Cleaning and Maintaining Your Spa” for
instructions on draining your spa.
When lling your spa, always ll through the skimmer
lter canister. Use only regular tap water.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOFT WATER.
If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the set •
temperature should remain at the desired usage
temperature.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to
prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may
be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your spa.
Planning the Best Location
Here are some of the things that you will need to consider
when determining where to place your new spa.
Safety First
Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) of overhead
power lines.
Consider How You Will Use Your Spa
How you intend to use your spa will help you determine
where you should position it. For example, will you use
your spa for recreational or therapeutic purposes? If
your spa is mainly used for family recreation, be sure to
leave plenty of room around it for activity. If you will use
it for relaxation and therapy, you will probably want to
create a specic mood around it.
Plan for Your Environment
If you live in a region where it snows in the winter or
rains frequently, place the spa near a house entry. By
doing this, you will have a place to change clothes and
not be uncomfortable.
Consider Your Privacy
In a cold-weather climate, bare trees won’t provide
much privacy. Think of your spa’s surroundings during
all seasons to determine your best privacy options.
Consider the view of your neighbors as well when you
plan the location of your spa.
Provide a View with Your Spa
Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting
in your spa. Do you have a special landscaped area in
your yard that you nd enjoyable? Perhaps there is an
area that catches a soothing breeze during the day or a
lovely sunset in the evening.
Keep Your Spa Clean
In planning your spa’s location, consider a location
where the path to and from the house can be kept clean
and free of debris.
where the bathers can clean their feet before entering
your spa.
Allow for Service Access
Many people choose to install a decorative structure
around their spa. If you are installing your spa with any
type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo,
remember to allow access for service. It is always best
to design special installations so that the spa can still be
moved, or lifted off the ground.
Preparing a Good Foundation
Your spa needs a solid and level foundation. The area
that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the
spa and the occupants who use it. If the foundation
is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the spa is in
place, causing stress that could damage your spa shell
or nish.
Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation
support is not covered by the warranty. It is the
responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper
foundation for the spa. We strongly recommended that
you have a qualied, licensed contractor prepare the
foundation for your spa.
Place the spa on a level foundation (preferably a 4”
concrete slab). If you are installing the spa indoors, pay
close attention to the ooring beneath it. Choose ooring
that will not be damaged or stained.
If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood deck
or other structure, consult a structural engineer or a
contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight
of 150 pounds per square foot.
Your Cal Spas™ retailer can help you with your foundation
and more. Your retailer has a wealth of information and
experience about how to get the most out of your spa
and can provide you with a full line of accessories that
are designed to complement your spa and increase your
enjoyment.
Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into
your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa’s entrance

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
120 Volt Electrical Installation
Always follow applicable local, state and federal codes
and guidelines.
Use only a dedicated electrical line with a 20 amp
breaker.
Cord-and-plug connections may not use a cord longer
than 15 feet (4.6 m) and must be plugged into a dedicated
20 amp GFCI connection (NEC 680.42(A)(2)). Do not
use extension cords!
Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle.
Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet (1.5 m)
from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m) from the inside
wall of the spa. (NEC 680.43(A))
Do not bury the power cord. If your cord becomes
damaged, replace it before next usage.
All 120V spas must have a GFCI. This can be either a 20
amp GFCI receptacle or a 20 amp GFCI cord and plug
kit as shown (CKIT110 - P/N ELE09700086).
Test the GFCI plug prior to rst use and periodically when
the spa is powered. To test the GFCI plug version, follow
these instructions. (Spa should already be plugged in
and operational.)
Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will 1.
trip and the spa will stop operating.
Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI will 2.
reset and the spa will turn back on.
The spa is now safe to use.
If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the RESET
button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug the spa and
call your local Cal Spas dealer for service. DO NOT USE
THE SPA!
240 Volt Electrical Installation
All 240V spas must be permanently connected
(hardwired) to the power supply. These instructions
describe the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure.
Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty and
may result in serious injury.
This is the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure.
Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty. See
the wiring diagram on page 7.
When installed in the United States, the electrical wiring
of this spa must meet the requirements of National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2008 and any applicable
local, state, and federal codes. The electrical circuit must
be installed by an electrical contractor and approved by
a local building / electrical inspector.
GFCI and Wiring Requirements
The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated
GFCI protected circuit as required by ANSI/NFPA 70
with no other appliances or lights sharing the power.
Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use
aluminum wire.
Use the table on the next page to determine your GFCI
and wiring requirements.
When NEC requires the use of wires larger than #6
AWG, install a junction box near the spa and use #6
AWG wire between the junction box and the spa.
Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge to the
next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp GFCI
with four #8 AWG Copper wires run over 85 feet would
require you to go to four #6 AWG copper wires.
Read and follow the heater manufacturer’s safety and
installation instructions prior to installation and operation.
Incorrect installation may damage the heater and void
its warranty.
Testing the GFCI Breaker
Test the GFCI breaker prior to rst use and periodically
when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker
follow these instructions (spa should be operating):
Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will 1.
trip and the spa will shut off.
Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker 2.
to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn
the breaker back on. The spa should have power
again.

Conguring the 6300 Control System
The 6300 control system requires higher power than other 240V systems. Dip switch #10 is factory set in the ON
position. This causes the heater to shut off when any pump is running in high speed. To allow the heater to continue
operating, dip switch #10 must be set to the OFF position.
To ensure your spa functions properly,
ensure the following steps are
performed before starting your spa:
When installing the electrical •
system, use a 60 amp GFCI.
Follow the GFCI wiring diagram on
the next page.
Have your dealer or installer set •
dip switch #10 to the OFF position
on the circuit board as shown at
right.
Electrical Installation for 11 kW Heater
This applies to Ultimate Fitness spas with the 11 kW heater only.
Two electrical services are required to heat the swim side of the
Fitness Spa.

Gas Heater Hook up
Ultimate Fitness Series spa owners may buy and install a separate gas heater and pump for use with their spa. This
option may be purchased separately from your local distributor.
Spa owners are responsible for ensuring installation of their gas heater conforms to local, state, and federal
regulations. The electrical and gas installation must be performed by contractors and approved by a local building /
electrical inspector. Failure to do so may void your warranty.
All Ultimate Fitness Series spas are plumbed with a gas heater ready union located inside the cabinet at either the
front or rear, depending on the model. (See the gures below and at right.) Properly installed, they can be attached
to an external gas heater. Customers are responsible for creating openings in the panel to accommodate the lines
and wiring. The gas heater should be located not less than 10 feet and no more than 25 feet away from the spa.
To connect the plumbing for an external gas heater:
Disconnect the ready union.1.
Cut off both sides of the union and discard it.2.
Create two 2½” diameter holes through the spa panel.3.
Use two 2” couplings to connect the hoses to 10’ - 15’ 2-3/8” diameter PVC lines.4.
Connect PVC lines to the gas heater. 5.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa
Never ll your spa with soft water.
Soft water makes it impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and may cause the water to
foam, which will ultimately harm the nish of the spa and void your warranty.
Once the spa has been placed on an approved 1.
surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed
electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the
equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these
connections are secure and that they did not loosen
during shipment.
If equipped, open all gate valves in the equipment 2.
area. Before operating the spa, these valves must
be in the up or “open” position.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Never run the spa with the gate valves
closed or without water circulating for
long periods of time. Be careful not to
over-tighten the plumbing ttings.
Remove the lter basket and cartridge from lter 3.
canister.
Place a garden hose in the skimmer/lter canister 4.
and ll your spa with regular tap water to the proper
water level (halfway up the skimmer area).
Presoak the lters in spa water.5.
VERY IMPORTANT!
You must presoak the lters before
inserting them in the lter canister. Dry
lters can allow air into the ltration
system which can cause pump failure.
(For owners of the automatic bromine generator) 6.
Make sure the dial on the face of the bromine
generator unit is turned to the OFF position.
Once the water is at the correct level and air is bled, 7.
turn on the power at the GFCI breaker. (Ensure that
the 120V spas are connected to the proper electrical
outlet.)
Note: Depending on the model, when the power
is turned on to the spa, the controls will perform a
diagnostic check for approximately ve minutes.
When the diagnostic is complete, the spa will
automatically operate at lter speed and continue
heating until the spa water temperature reaches the
default temperature of 100˚F.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Always ll the spa through the lter
canister! Failure to do so may cause
air to be trapped in the ltration system
and prevent the pumps from operating
properly.
Page 10 2008 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual
LTR20081000, Rev. D
If no water is owing when the pump is running, 8.
there could be an air pocket at the suction side of
the pump. Shut off power to the spa and loosen the
pump union on the suction side of the pump to bleed
the air. When air is bled, turn power back on.
Install the pre-soaked lters and the lter basket into 9.
the lter canister.
The spa is now ready for use.

9800 Electronic Control Operation
When rst powered up, the 9800 electronic
system will perform a self-diagnostic check
and then it will automatically heat to and
maintain a temperature of 100°F (37.5°C)
until you change the set temperature as
listed in the “Temperature Adjustment”
section below.
These instructions will describe features and
options that your particular spa may not be
equipped with.
Initial Start-up
When your spa is rst powered up, it displays some
conguration codes and then goes into priming mode
(Pr will appear on the display panel). This mode lasts up
to four minutes and then the spa begins to heat to its pre
-programmed temperature of 100°F.
Temperature Adjustment
(Range 80°F to 104°F, 26°C to 40°C)
The start-up temperature is set at 100°F (37.5°C). The
last measured temperature is constantly displayed
on the control panel. Note that the last measured spa
temperature is displayed. The displayed temperature
will be updated when the pump has been running for at
least two minutes.
Press the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons once to display the
set temperature. Each time either button is pressed
again, the set temperature will increase or decrease
depending on which button is pressed. After three
seconds, the control panel will automatically display the
last measured spa temperature.
Time
When time hasn’t been programmed, the “TIME” icon
ashes. To set the time, press the “TIME” button and
then the “MODE/PROG” button. Use the “UP” and
“DOWN” buttons to adjust time. See the next page for
more detailed instructions.
Standard, Economy, Sleep, and Standby
Modes
Mode/Prog: This button is used to switch between
standard, economy, and sleep modes.
Press “MODE/PROG” to enter mode programming.1.
Standard Mode: This is programmed to maintain the
desired temperature. Note that the last measured spa
temperature displayed is current only when the pump
has been running for at least two minutes. The “STAND”
icon will display until the mode is changed.
Economy Mode: Economy mode heats the spa to the
set temperature only during lter cycles. The “ECON”
icon will display until the mode is changed. Pressing the
“JETS 1” button while in economy mode puts the spa in
standard-in-economy mode, which operates the same
as standard mode but reverts back to economy mode
automatically after one hour. During this time, pressing
the “MODE/PROG” button will revert to economy mode
immediately.
Sleep Mode: Sleep mode heats the spa to within 20°F
(11°C) of the set temperature only during lter cycles. The
“SLEEP” icon will display until the mode is changed.
Standby Mode: Pressing “Warm” or “Cool” then “JETS
2” will turn off all spa functions temporarily. This is helpful
when changing a lter. Pressing any button resets the
spa.
Jets 1
Press the “JETS 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off
and to shift between low and high speeds if equipped.
If left running, the low speed turns off after two hours
and the high speed turns off after 15 minutes. On noncirculation systems, the low speed of pump 1 runs when
the blower or any other pump is on. It may also activate
for at least two minutes every 30 minutes to detect the
spa temperature and then to heat to the set temperature if
needed, depending upon the mode. When the low speed
turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the
panel; however, the high speed may be started.
Press the “DOWN” button to cycle through to the 2.
desired mode.

Jets 2
Press the “JETS 2” button once to turn pump 2 on or off
and to shift between low and high speeds if it is a twospeed pump. If left running, the pump will turn off after
15 minutes.
Option
This is an optional feature. Press the “OPTION” button
to turn the optional equipment on and off. If left on, the
equipment will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.
Light
Press the “LIGHT” button to turn the spa light on and
off and to shift between dim and bright settings if your
light is dimmable. On dim, the control panel will show the
center circle plus one quarter of the light beams. Half of
the light beams will show on medium brightness, and all
of the light beams will show on bright.
Invert
Press the “INVERT” button to change the numbers in the
display to read upside down. Another press returns the
display to the right-side-up position. This enables you to
read the display while you are in the spa.
Locking the Panel
To lock the panel:
Preset Filter Cycles
There are two lter cycles per day. The start and end
times of each cycle are programmable. To program, set
the time as instructed above, then press “MODE/PROG”
to advance to the next setting (or to exit after the last
setting). The default lter cycles are as follows:
The rst lter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00 •
AM and operates the pump until 10:00 AM. The
“FILTER 1” indicator icon will light when lter 1 is
running.
The second lter cycle is automatically activated at •
8:00 PM and operates the pump until 10:00 PM. The
“FILTER 2” indicator icon will light when lter 2 is
running.
The pump and the ozone generator will run during
ltration. At the start of each lter cycle, the blower will
run on highest speed for 30 seconds to clean out the
air channels. The lowest speed of pump 2 and pump
3 will run for ve minutes. In the event of power loss or
shut down, the time of day will need to be reset for lter
cycles to run according to your desired programming.
Clean up Cycle
When the pump or blower is turned on by a button press,
a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump or
blower is turned off or times out. The pump and the
ozone generator will run for one hour.
Press “TIME”, “JETS 1”, and the “UP” button within •
three seconds. When locked, the panel will display
“LOCK”. All buttons are frozen except the “TIME”
button.
To unlock the panel:
Press “TIME”, “JETS 1” then the “DOWN” button •
within three seconds.
Setting the Temperature Lock
To activate the temperature lock:
Press the “UP” or “DOWN” button, “TIME”, “JETS 1”, •
then the “UP” button within three seconds. The panel
will display “TEMP LOCK” when the set temperature
is locked.
To unlock the set temperature:
Press the “UP” or “DOWN” button, “TIME”, “JETS •
1”, and then the “DOWN” button.
Circulation Pump
This is an optional feature. The circulation pump will
come on when the system is checking temperature,
during lter cycles, during freeze conditions, or when
another pump is on.
Ozone
This is an optional feature. On most systems, the ozone
generator (if installed) runs during lter cycles (except
when pump 1 is operating at high speed on a non-circ
ulating system) and during clean-up cycles. On some
systems, the ozone generator operates whenever the
pump runs. If your system is congured with the optional
ozone disable feature, the ozone generator will turn off
for one hour any time a function button (“JETS 1”, “JETS
2”, “OPTION” etc.) is pressed.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors detect a drop to 44°F within
the heater, the pump automatically activates to provide
freeze protection. The equipment stays on until four
minutes after the sensors detect that the spa temperature
has risen to 45°F or higher. In colder climates, an optional
additional freeze sensor may be added to protect against
freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard
sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly
except with the temperature thresholds determined by
the switch and without a four-minute delay in turnoff.

Adjustable Jets
Almost all of the jets in your spa are adjustable.
Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the left (counter-
clockwise) will decrease the amount of water ow
through the jet. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to
the right (clockwise) will increase the amount of water
ow through the jet. (See example shown below.)
Neck jets adjust in the opposite directions (counterclockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease).
Diverter Knobs
Diverter knobs are 1” and 2” knobs located around the
top of your spa. They allow you to divert water through
jets from one side of the spa to the other, or in most
cases from oor jets to wall jets. This is accomplished by
rotating the diverter
knob to the left
(counterclockwise),
decreasing the
amount of water
ow through a
section of jets.
To increase the
amount of water
ow through the
other section of jets,
rotate the handle to
the right (clockwise).
Air Venturis
Air venturis are the 1” knobs located around the top of
your spa. Each one will let you add a mixture of air with
the jet pressure. This is accomplished by rotating the

Water Quality Maintenance
Water Quality Maintenance
Cal Spas Clear Water Plan
Great spa water is easily achieved when the right
chemicals and / or systems are used and the Cal Spas
Clear Water Plan is implemented. The key to clean,
clear, and safe water is to fully understand how spa water
reacts to users, system operation and chemical use. The
Clear Water Plan will help give you that understanding.
The rst thing to understand about taking care of your
spa water is that preventive actions are much easier to
do than correcting water quality issues. For this reason,
we offer the Clear Water Plan as a simple, easy to follow
guide to clean, safe spa water.
Follow the Right Plan
You will need to decide which chemical plan or alternative
sanitation option works best for your spa water. Consult
your Cal Spas dealer for the right decision with regards
to your lifestyle and spa usage. Whichever plan you
decide on, follow it completely and don’t take shortcuts.
These plans will provide you with clean, safe, clear spa
water with a minimum of effort.
Traditional Chemical Options
Choose from either Bromine tablets or Chlorinating
granules as your sanitizer of choice. Both work well when
the appropriate Clear Water Plan is followed. Make sure
you follow all instructions and use only Cal Spas brand
chemicals.
Before You Begin
Before you begin a Clear Water Plan, you should
understand that chemicals or systems alone will not take
care of your spa water. Other factors such as Filtration
and Bather Load also play an important part.
Filtration
The lter is the part of your spa that removes the debris
from the water. Even though Cal Spas uses the advanced
Bio Clean lter cartridge that protects itself from bacterial
growth, the lter still needs to be cleaned on a regular
basis to maximize your spa’s ltering performance and
heating efciency.
In addition to spraying off the lter weekly to remove
surface debris, your lter should be deep cleaned
periodically to dissolve scale and other contaminants
that get lodged deep within the lter bers and impede
the ltration process. Even if the lter looks clean, the
contaminants can clog the bers and prevent water from
owing through the lter resulting in the most common
spa problem—no heat, caused by a dirty lter.
Filter Cleaning
Place the dirty lter into a bucket of water deep •
enough to cover the lter. Add 8 oz of Cal Spas
“Liquid Filter Cleaner” to the bucket of water.
Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare lter to be deep
cleaned while the regular lter is in the spa. This way,
you can rotate the lters and both will last longer.
Soak the lter for a minimum of 24 hours.•
Alternative Sanitation Options
Cal Zone Quest 2000 / 3000 Ozonator
This system automatically generates ozone gas and
injects it into the spa water. Ozone gas is far superior
to chemical bromine or chlorine in sanitizing spa water.
Saves replacement chemical cost and guards against
forgetting to add chemicals.
Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine Generator
This system automatically generates and releases
free bromine into the spa water. No more need to add
chemical bromine tablets or chlorine granules. Saves
replacement chemical cost and circumvents the need to
add chemicals on a regular basis.
2008 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual Page 21
LTR20081000, Rev. D
Remove the lter and spray clean with a water hose. •
Spray each pleat carefully.
Allow lter to dry completely (a minimum of 2 days •
drying time is recommended).
Reinstall lter as described in the Clear Water Plan.•
Filtration Cycles
The ltration cycle of your spa is the process that allows
the water to ow through the lter. Your spa will lter
automatically twice each day. The factory set default time
for ltration is usually enough for normal use, however
heavy bather load or frequent use may require longer
ltration times or more frequent ltration cycles to keep
the spa water clean. Consult your Owner’s Manual for
setting your spa’s ltration times.
Page 24
Water Quality Maintenance
Bather Load
“Bather Load” is the term used to describe the number of
people using a spa, combined with the length of usage,
and the frequency of usage. All these factors have a
great effect on the spa water. The higher the bather
load, the more chemicals need to be added and a longer
ltration time will be needed.
All versions of the Cal Spas Clear Water Plan are
designed for spas with average bather load. (3-4 people,
15 minutes of usage, 3 times a week at 100 degrees)
If your bather load exceeds these guidelines, and you
experience water quality problems, increase the amount
of ltration rst, (go to the next higher ltration number)
then if water quality is still not adequate, consult the
advice of your Cal Spas dealer for additional chemical
or system recommendations. Be sure to give them your
bather load information.
Chemical Overview
The following information is intended for use with Cal
Spas chemicals only. Other brands of chemicals may
have similar names and/or usage descriptions but due
to manufacturing differences, use of other chemicals
can increase the likelihood of under- or over-dosing the
spa chemicals. Damage to the spa or spa’s components
from improper chemicals or chemical usage is not
covered under the spa’s warranty.
Chemical Safety
Failure to follow chemical directions may result in serious
injury, sickness, or even death.
Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles,
packages and in your owner’s manual.
Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended
in the Clear Water Plan, or on chemical bottles and
packages. (Most chemical instructions are gured for a
500 gallon spa however, most spas hold less than 500
gallons, consult your owner’s manual for the approximate
gallons of your spa)
Never mix chemicals together.
Never change chemical brands or types without
completely draining, ushing and thoroughly cleaning
the spa and cover rst.
Always protect your eyes while introducing chemicals
into the spa. Wear protective eyeglasses to prevent
powdered chemicals from blowing into the eyes or liquid
chemicals from splashing into the eyes.
In the event of overdosing a sanitizing chemical (chorine
or bromine), immediately turn off the power to the spa
and drain water to a safe and approved area. Rell with
fresh water and proceed with the Clear Water Plan start
up.
Physical Chemical Hazards
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin,
eyes or clothing.
Always wear rubber gloves, protective eye wear and
clothing to reduce the risk of chemical contact and
irritation.
Remove and wash clothing that may have been exposed
to chemical contact prior to wearing them again.
Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious injury,
sickness, or even death.
Do not mix chemicals. Mixing chemicals together can
cause dangerous chemical reactions including the
release of toxic gas, re and explosions.
Chemical Storage
Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach
of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry.
Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage
may result in serious injury, sickness, re explosion
and even death. Do not store your chemicals inside the
equipment area of your spa.

Bromine Generator Clear Water Plan
This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine
Generator. The chemical references are designed for Cal Spas chemicals only. Note: Following these instructions
is very important to ensure proper operation of your Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine Generator.
Start Up
Clean surface of spa with Cal Spas “Multi-1.
Purpose Cleaner”.
Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas “Fast 2.
Sheen” to the acrylic surface.
Fill spa to proper water level with normal 3.
tap water. (Do not use soft water.)
Use bromine test strip and balance the spa 4.
water:
Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range •
is 80 to 120 ppm),
Adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to •
7.8).
Pour in 16 oz of Cal Spas “Metal Protector” 5.
in the center of spa.
Test for TDS (total dissolved solids). 6.
The ideal range is 50 to 300 ppm. •
TDS must be less than 500 ppm to start with.•
Phosphate level should be below 200 ppb. Remove phosphates if necessary.7.
Determine the gallon capacity of the spa. Be accurate, because this determines the amount of TRU BLU that 8.
will be added. Consult the Cal Spas Pre-delivery Guide for spa gallons.
Power up the spa and make sure all the spa’s pumps are set to high speed. Turn the dial on the face of the Cal 9.
Clarity Bromine Generator to OFF.
Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the spa one 2lb bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100 US gallons (370 10.
liters) of water. Do not add too much!
Note: Each bottle of TRU BLU will raise TDS / conductivity amount approximately 500 ppm.
Allow spa to run for 15 minutes so the TRU BLU can dissolve completely before proceeding to the next step.11.
2008 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual Page 27
LTR20081000, Rev. D
Page 30
Water Quality Maintenance
Use sodium bromide test strips (not bromine) and 12.
adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates
to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS level).
Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to help burn 13.
out impurities in ll water.
Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise 14.
until the LED display reads 10.
This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank.15.
Set the ltration cycle to “continuous” (F-C) for the 16.
rst 24 hours.
Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to desired 17.
temperature.
Adjusting The Proper Bromine Levels
After start up, decrease the ltration cycle to F-4 1.
and monitor the bromine level until it is within the
recommended range.
Use bromine test strips to achieve a 3-5 ppm 2.
recommended level.
Note: It can take several days for the bromine level to
stabilize because the ll water that was used sometimes
contains contaminants that need to be neutralized,
thereby using up the initial bromine that is generated.
Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the 3.
dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved.
The common maintenance setting for an average 4.
bather load is #4.
When changing the setting, use bromine test strips to
determine when you have reached the level you want.
Once a Week
Test spa water with bromine test strip.1.
Based on test strip readings:2.
Adjust alkalinity if necessary. •
Adjust pH if necessary.•
Increase / decrease bromine production with •
dial if required.
Remove dirty lter from the spa and rinse off.3.
Place your clean, extra lter cartridge back into the 4.
spa.
Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to spa. Run 5.
spa for 15 minutes
Vacuum debris from the bottom of your spa with the 6.
“Spa Vacuum”.
Replace cover.7.
Polish the acrylic surface with “Fast Sheen”.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Removing and Reseating the Pillows
You can remove the pillows for cleaning and maintenance quickly and easily. This method works for all types of
pillows.
Grab the lower edge of the pillow with both hands rmly and pull up. As you do this, the pillow inserts will pop out
of the holes.
Reseat the pillows by aligning the pillow inserts with the holes and striking the pillow hard enough to insert the pegs
back into the holes.
Spa Cover
Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!
Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining •
your set temperature.
Covering your spa will protect your spa’s nish from •
the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain •
warranty coverage.
Covering your spa helps prevent children from •
drowning in the spa.
See the manual enclosed with your cover for instructions
on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock the
cover.
In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it is not designed
to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety precaution
and to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit,
stand, or lie on it; nor should you place objects of any
kind on top of it.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Draining Your Portable Spa
Your spa should be drained every four to six months, and relled
with fresh tap water. The following is the recommended method
for draining your spa.
Turn off the power at the breaker.1.
Remove all lters.2.
If your drain valve is mounted on the side of the spa cabinet as
shown at right, proceed to step 5.
If your drain valve is located inside the spa cabinet:
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws to the 3.
access panel and open it.
Locate hose ending with the 3/4 inch hose-bib xture.4.
Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the drain tting.5.
Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain to.6.
Twist the hose-bib xture counterclockwise and pull to open the drain.7.
Let spa drain completely, then remove garden hose.8.
Twist the hose-bib xture clockwise to close it.9.
Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always have your
spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This will help reduce
the risk of freezing in your spa and your spa’s equipment.
Warning: If you nd the need to drain your spa, please be aware of the potential of freezing in your spas
equipment and plumbing. Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there is no guarantee that
your spa will not suffer freeze damage.
Freeze damage is not covered by your warranty.
Open all lter covers.1.
Page 30 2008 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual
LTR20081000, Rev. D
Page 33
Remove the lter baskets and lters.
2.
Drain your spa completely as described in the 3.
instructions above.
Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps.4.
Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump.5.
Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining water 6.
out of the jets and equipment area.
Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather
tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters the spa.
Cleaning the Cover, Shell and Pillows
Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and
pillows receive, you should protect them by applying
Vinyl and Leather Cleaner as part of your monthly
maintenance plan. Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather
Cleaner is specically designed to protect spa covers
and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage. It
accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue behind
that is normally associated with common automotive
vinyl protectants.
Use of Vinyl and Leather Cleaner
Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner
should be used sparingly. Incorrect
usage may cause water clarity issues.
Spa Covers
Remove spa cover from spa.1.
Cleaning and Maintenance
All-Purpose Cleaner (Spa Finish cleaning)
Cal Spas™ All-Purpose Cleaner is an
essential part of maintaining your spa’s
nish. Through normal use, the spa’s
nish can accumulate dirt, oil, and calcium
causing a rough feel and unsightly scum
lines. Cal Spas™ All-Purpose Cleaner
is a low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner
specically formulated to clean the spa
without damaging its acrylic nish.
The most effective solution to minimize
cleaning time is prevention. When the
following steps are followed, the spa’s nish will actually
start to resist most of the elements that cause calcium
build-up and make scum line clean up easier.
Prior to Spa Start-Up and Relling
Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly on 1.
to the spa’s nish.
Wipe clean with a clean soft cloth.2.
Repeat on heavily calcied areas.3.
Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing 4.
often with a bucket of clean water.
Allow spa to dry completely.5.
Apply a coat of Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen to the spa’s 6.
entire nish with a soft towel or sponge.
Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery.7.
Buff clean with a soft cloth, rotating frequently.8.
Allow spa cover to dry completely.2.
Spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner 3.
to cover evenly and wipe dry.
Allow spa cover to dry completely.4.
Reinstall cover on spa.5.
Pillows
Wipe pillows dry with a soft cloth.1.
Carefully spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner directly 2.
onto pillow.
Wipe pillows dry.3.
Allow pillows to dry completely.4.
Warning: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on
spa covers or pillows. These products are generally oilbased and will cause severe water clarity issues that are
difcult to correct.

the spa’s nish.
Wipe clean with a clean soft cloth.2.
Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing 3.
often in a bucket of clean water.
Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner should not be
sprayed directly into the spa water. Incorrect usage of
this product will cause water clarity issues.
Fast Sheen (Spa Finish
Protecting Wax)
Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen is an essential
part of maintaining your spa’s nish.
Through normal use, the spa’s nish
can accumulate dirt, oil, and calcium,
causing a rough feel and unsightly scum
lines. Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen is a non-oil

based wax that is specically formulated to protect the
spa’s nish from the chemicals and minerals associated
with normal spa use.
The most effective solution to minimize cleaning time
is prevention. When the following steps are followed,
the spa’s nish will actually start to resist most of the
elements that cause calcium build-up and make scum

used on spas full of water. Only apply to clean, cool,
dry surfaces. Incorrect product usage may cause water
clarity issues.
the ow of water goes through the lter, dirt and debris is
removed and accumulated in the lter cartridge. As the
lter cartridge accumulates dirt and debris, water ow
is restricted and jet performance is reduced. This can
cause your spa to not run or heat effectively.
Clean your lter regularly and replace as needed.
Filter Cleaning
Your new spa has been designed for quick and easy
lter maintenance. The lter cartridge should be cleaned
once a week. These instructions apply to both dual and
single ltration systems.
Turn the power off at the breaker.1.
Remove the lter by turning it counterclockwise and 2.
unscrewing the bottom threads. Then pull it up and
out.
Clean the lter with a garden hose as follows:3.
Hold the lter vertically.a.
Spray the lter cartridges with a pressure nozzle, b.
starting from the top and spraying down each
pleat.
Turn the lter cartridge over and repeat Step c.
3b.
Deep clean lter cartridge every month. Use d.
only a Cal Spas™-approved lter-cleaning
chemical.
Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Filtration
Filtration is one of the most important steps you can
take to ensure clean, clear water. Regardless of what
some people may think, it is far less expensive to x
water clarity problems by ltering your spa than by using
excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive ltration
times, or by water replacement.
Cal Spas™ ltration system draws contaminated water
through the exclusive Bio-Clean™ lter removing debris
from the water. It then pumps the newly cleaned water
back into the spa through various jets. Spas equipped
with the optional Quest 2000 Ozonator will also receive
ozone injection into the ltered water for further protection
against contaminants during ltration cycles. Filtration
also ensures that chemicals are mixed thoroughly
through the water, increasing performance.
Filtration starts on electronically controlled spas as soon
as the pumps are primed and water ow is steady. As
Page 32 2008 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual
LTR20081000, Rev. D
Exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter Cartridge
The lter cartridge is designed to remove dirt, sand,
minerals, phosphates, bather waste and other solids from
the spa. Unfortunately, some spa owners fail to include
lter cleaning as part of their chemical maintenance
plan. Filters accumulate debris and become prime areas
for bacteria growth.
The Cal Spas™ exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter is the only
antibacterial lter cartridge on the market today. Having
a lter cartridge that prevents bacteria growth is added
protection for those times you forget to clean the lter.
We recommend that you only replace your spa’s lter
cartridge with a Bio-Clean™ lter cartridge for ensured
protection and peace of mind.
