Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, always follow basic safety precautions. Following these
instructions will help make your first spa session a pleasurable one.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use the spa unless they are supervised at all
times.
All 110V spas require a DEDICATED 20 AMP GFCI SERVICE. Do not use extension cords.
NOTE: This may require a licensed electrician to upgrade your standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.
All 220V spas require a DEDICATED 50 AMP GFCI SERVICE WITH FOUR #6 AWG COPPER WIRES.
DANGER -- RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Use extreme caution to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the spa unless they are closely supervised at all
times. (Keep the spa cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions enclosed with your cover.)
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow
created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings, or the pump, be sure the flow rates are
compatible.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the spa if the suction fitting or filter baskets are broken or
missing.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never replace a suction fitting with one that is rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original suction fitting.
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 electrical appliances, such as lights, telephones,
radios, televisions, and etc., within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the spa. Never attempt to operate any electrical device
from inside the spa.
WARNING -- RISK OF INJURY
• Before entering a spa, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of
water temperature-regulating devices varies.
• 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.
• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy during
early months of 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.
2005 Spa Owner's Manual Page 1
8/1/2005
Read This First!
• 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 benefits, 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 to 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 Cal 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 Cal Spa, as it is built with quality
materials and excellent craftsmanship.
Your new Cal Spa has been engineered with a high-powered water pump that pushes water through various
therapy 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 filtering of this spa is very important. This alone will cut down on cleaning time and use of excess
chemicals. We have pre-programmed two filter cycles of two hours for every twelve hours. This can be
increased to six hours every twelve hours through the topside control panel.
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 finish 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 Cal Spa comes equipped with an electric heater. Following the directions listed below will ensure the
most efficient operation:
• Set the spa’s operating temperature within 5˚F of the desired usage temperature and raise the temperature
one or two hours prior to usage.
Page 2 2005 Spa Owner's Manual
8/1/2005
Read This First!
NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two hours a week.
• If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the set temperature should remain at the desired usage
temperature.
• The air venturi handles 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 filter needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. This is very simple and only takes a few minutes. 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 find 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 filling your spa, always fill through the skimmer filter canister. Use only regular tap water.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOFT WATER.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Congratulations! You have purchased a Cal Spa. With a little preparation and care, your spa will give you many
years of enjoyment. This section has been designed to provide you with all the information you’ll need to
ensure a safe, speedy and trouble-free spa delivery and set-up.
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 under the age of 5. Your dealer can provide information
on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your Cal Spa.
Planning the Best Location For Your Spa
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’ (3m) of overhead power lines.
• Make sure the spa is positioned so that access to the equipment compartment and all side panels will not be
blocked. Be certain that your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and requirements.
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’ll probably want to
create a specific 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 find enjoyable? Perhaps there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day or a
lovely sunset in the evening. Consider these things when you plan your location.
Keep Your Spa Clean
Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa’s entrance
where the bather’s can clean their feet before entering your spa. You may also consider keeping a small waterfilled basin nearby for bathers to rinse their feet before enter your spa.
Page 6 2005 Spa Owner's Manual
8/1/2005
Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
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.
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 for Your Portable Spa
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 finish.
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 qualified, licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your spa.
Place the spa on an elevated foundation (preferably a 3” concrete slab). If you are installing the spa indoors, pay
close attention to the flooring beneath it. Choose flooring that won’t be spoiled 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 compliment your spa and increase your enjoyment.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Electrical Set-up Before Delivery of Your Spa
When installed in the United States, the electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and any applicable state or local codes. The electrical circuit must be
installed by an electrical contractor and approved by a local building / electrical inspector.
All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hard wired) to the power supply. 120V spas may use a G.F.C.I.
cord, plugged into a dedicated grounded outlet. Supplying power to a spa which is not in accordance with these
instructions will void both the independent testing agency listing and the manufacturer’s warranty.
The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the
power.
To determine the current, voltage, and wire size required for the spa configuration to be connected, refer to the
following:
• Wire size must comply with NEC and / or local codes.
• Wire size is determined by length of run from breaker box to spa and maximum current draw.
• We recommend copper wire with THHN insulation.
• All wiring must be copper to ensure adequate connections. Do not use aluminum wire.
• When using wire larger than #6 (10mm2), add a junction box near the spa and reduce to short lengths of #4
(10mm2) wire between the junction box and the spa.
The electrical supply for the spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded
supply conductors to comply with NEC Section 422-20. The disconnection point must be readily accessible to
the spa’s occupant. Check with local municipalities for additional code requirements.
The electrical circuit for the spa must include a suitable GFCI as required by NEC Section 680-42.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
110 Volt Electrical Installation Guidelines
Always follow applicable local, state and federal codes and guidelines.
• Use only a dedicated electrical line with a 20-amp breaker.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle.
• Never have your spa within 10’ of the receptacle.
• Do not bury the power cord.
• If your cord becomes damaged, replace it before next usage.
All 110V spas must have a GFCI (Figure 1). This can be either a 15-amp GFCI receptacle or a GFCI cord and
plug kit (CKIT110 - P/N ELE09700086).
Figure 1. 110V / 15 Amp GFCI Plug
Test the GFCI plug prior to every use. To test the GFCI plug version, please follow these easy instructions. (Spa
should already be plugged in and operational.)
1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will stop operating.
2. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will reset and the spa will turn back on.
The spa is now safe to use.
If the GFCI turns off (“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!
2005 Spa Owner's Manual Page 9
8/1/2005
Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
220 Volt Electrical Installation
All 220V spas are required to have a dedicated 50-Amp GFCI breaker and should only be wired by a licensed
electrician. To ensure proper wiring of your GFCI, follow these diagrams (Figure 2 and Figure 3).
• Always follow applicable local, state, and federal codes and guidelines.
• Your new 220V Cal Spa requires a dedicated, 50-Amp GFCI Service with four #6 AWG copper wires. This
will include a black and a red wire for your incoming power, a white wire used for your neutral, and a green
wire for your ground.
You can use #6 AWG wire for a distance of up to 100’. Wire run over 100’ must increase to #4 gauge. This is the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure. Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty and
may result in serious injury.
Do not install a GFCI breaker in the main electrical panel. The further away a GFCI is installed from the spa,
the higher the risk of false tripping or resetting of the GFCI breaker. We only recommend the use of the Square
D GFCI breaker.
Before each use of your spa, you should check the GFCI. During this test, the spa should be operational.
3. Press the test button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut off.
4. Wait 30 seconds and reset the GFCI breaker by turning the breaker off then back on. Your spa will be
operational in about five seconds.
Your spa is now safe to use.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa
Never fill 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 finish of the spa and void your warranty.
1. Once the spa has been placed on an approved 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 didn’t loosen during shipment.
2. If equipped, open all gate valves, or slice valves, in the equipment area. Before operating the spa, these
valves must be in the up or “open” position.
3. Remove the filter basket and cartridge from skimmer / filter canister.
4. Place a garden hose in the skimmer / filter canister and continue filling your spa with regular tap water up to
the water level (halfway up the skimmer area).
5. (For owners of the automatic bromine generator) Make sure the dial on the face of the bromine generator
unit is turned to the OFF position.
6. Open the air relief valve (located next to the two filters, if equipped) after the air bubbles stop coming out of
it. Close the valve hand-tight.
7. If the air lock persists, open the pump unions on the suction side of the pump.
8. Once the water is at the correct level, turn on the power at the GFCI breaker. (Ensure that the 110V spas are
connected to the proper electrical outlet.)
After you turn on the power, the spa will perform a diagnostic check for 30 seconds. When the
diagnostic is complete, the spa will automatically operate at filter speed and continue heating until the
spa water temperature reaches the default temperature of 100˚F.
9. Re-install the filter and the filter basket into the skimmer / filter canister.
The spa is now ready for use.
Notes: 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 fittings.

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.
Jets 2
This is optional with the 7000 controller. 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 two-speed pump. If left running, the pump will turn off after 15 minutes.

Circulation Pump
This is an optional feature. The circulation pump will come on when the system is checking temperature, during
filter cycles, during freeze conditions, or when another pump is on.
Preset Filter Cycles
There are two filter 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 filter cycles are as follows:
• The first filter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00 AM and operates the pump until 10:00 AM. The
“FILTER 1” indicator icon will light when filter 1 is running.
• The second filter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00 PM and operates the pump until 10:00 PM. The
“FILTER 2” indicator icon will light when filter 2 is running.
The pump and the ozone generator will run during filtration. At the start of each filter 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 five minutes.
Time of day is not preserved on 7000 systems. However, filter cycles are. In the event of power loss or shut
down, the time of day will need to be reset for filter 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.
2005 Spa Owner's Manual Page 27

Ozone
This is an optional feature. On most systems, the ozone generator (if installed) runs during filter cycles (except
when pump 1 is operating at high speed on a non-circ system) and during clean-up cycles. On some systems,
the ozone generator operates whenever the pump runs. If your system is configured 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.

for five minutes. In the event of power loss or shut down, the time of day will need to be reset for filter 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.
Ozone
This is an optional feature. On most systems, the ozone generator (if installed) runs during filter cycles (except
when pump 1 is operating at high speed on a non-circ system) and during clean-up cycles. On some systems,
the ozone generator operates whenever the pump runs. If your system is configured 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 (counterclockwise) will decrease the amount of water flow through the jet. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the
right (clockwise) will increase the amount of water flow through the jet. (See example shown in
below.)

NOTE: Neck jets will be reversed when adjusting pressure.
Diverter Knobs
Diverter knobs are the larger knobs located around the top of your spa (Figure 12). They allow you to divert
water through jets from one side of the spa to the other, or in most cases from floor jets to wall jets. This is
accomplished by simply rotating the diverter knob to the left (counterclockwise), decreasing the amount of
water flow through a section of jets. To increase the amount of water flow through the other section of jets,
simply rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).
Figure 12. Diverter knob
Cal Spas™ Flow Diverter
The Cal Spas™ Flow Diverter system (Figure 13) uses one or more motorized valve(s) to vary the jet action
between certain zones in the spa. These valve(s) are preset to stop at seven different positions. Those positions
are represented by the LED lights on the Flow Diverter control panel.
As the valve(s) move, the LEDs will alternate between the current position and the desired position until the
desired position is reached.
Upon power-up, all the LEDs will illuminate one at a time as the valve(s) move for approximately 17 seconds.
Immediately following this start-up process, the valve(s) will move to the center position, at which time the
center LED will light.

valve(s) in the other direction and the LED will move to the bottom (most counter-clockwise)
position.
Pressing this button will center the valve(s) and the center LED will be lit.
Air Venturis
Air venturis are the smaller knobs located around the top of your spa. They can also be distinguished from
diverter knobs by the arrows and the words “OFF”, “ON” and “AIR” marked on them (Figure 14). Each one
will let you add a mixture of air with the jet pressure. This is accomplished by simply rotating the air venturi
knob to the left (counter-clockwise) to increase the amount of airflow through the jets. To decrease the amount
of airflow through the jets, simply rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).

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 finish 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.

Chemical Maintenance Schedule
Great spa water is easily achieved when the right chemicals are used and a Clear Water Plan is implemented.
The key to clean, clear, and safe water is to fully understand how spa water reacts to users, operation and
chemical use. The Clear Water Plan will help give you that understanding.
Prior to filling a spa for the first time, or after a routine draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to
extend water life and performance. If you are following either bromine or chlorine Clear Water plans, you will
notice that both start-up processes are the same with the exception of Step 4. As with all chemical dosages listed
in the Clear Water Plan, start-up dosages are intended for 500 gallon spas. Please adjust the chemical dosages to
the capacity of your particular spa.
Start-Up
1. Clean spa thoroughly with Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner.
2. Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen to the acrylic surface.
3. Fill spa to proper water level with normal tap water. (Do not use soft water.)
4. Add either bromine or chlorine (according to your plan):
a. Bromine Plan: Add 2oz. of Cal Spas™ Go Brom to establish a bromine base level.
b. Chlorine Plan: Add two tablespoons of Cal Spas™ Granular Chlorine to the spa water.
5. Pour in 3oz. of Cal Spas™ Metal Protector to the center of the spa.
6. Sprinkle 2oz. of Cal Spas™ Oxidizer Shock in the center of the spa and leave spa uncovered and turn on the
jets for 30 minutes prior to recovering.
7. Allow 24 hours prior to testing and implementing the bromine or chlorine Clear Water Plans.
Bromine Users
This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for Cal Spas™ chemicals only. Most chemical manufacturers
use different chemical formulas and strengths. Only Cal Spas™ chemicals are specially formulated to provide
chemical balance at lower dosages. Compare labels and dosages and see for yourself. You will get greater
protection and performance with Cal Spas™ chemicals.
Always read and follow all printed instructions on chemical bottles and packages.

Clean Water with the Cal Clarity™ System
This section is ONLY for spa owners with the Cal Clarity™ automatic bromine generator. If your spa does not
have a Cal Clarity™ bromine generator, you need to read the previous section, which explains the Cal Spas™
Clear Water Plan.
The following procedures explain how to keep the water in your spa clean and clear with the automatic bromine
generator. Because this is the most important chapter in this manual, we strongly recommend you read it
carefully.
Cal Clarity™ System Generator
Your Cal Clarity™ System Generator (Figure 18) will help keep your spa water always clean and clear. As a
preferred method of maintaining the chemical balance of your spa water, it is relatively low cost, virtually
maintenance-free, and extremely effective in helping you spend your time enjoying your spa.
The automatic bromide generator eliminates the need to purchase, store, and handle harsh or dangerous
chemicals and is simple to operate. It will not function with the Cal Zone Quest Ozonator™.
Use the dial to increase or decrease the level of bromine generated, or turn it all the way clockwise to turn it off.
See the section on maintaining clean spa water with the automatic bromine generator for directions on proper
bromine level adjustment.
Figure 18. Bromine generator
2005 Spa Owner's Manual Page 47
8/1/2005
Water Quality Maintenance
Water Chemistry for Start-Up
Before operating the bromine generator, make sure the following water chemistry is established and verified:
• TDS (total dissolved solids) must be less than 500 ppm (parts per million) before adding the TRU-BLU
sodium bromide bank to the spa’s water. (The ideal range is 50 - 300 ppm.) Add TRU-BLU at a rate of two
pounds for every 100 US gallons (370 liters). TDS will be approximately 2,500 ppm TDS should not exceed
3,500 ppm.
• pH must be between 7.2 and 7.8. (The ideal range is 7.4 and 7.6.)
• Total alkalinity should be between 80 and 120 ppm.
• Chlorine stabilizer should be 0 ppm.
Starting Up the Cal Clarity™ Bromine Generator
1. After the spa has been filled, make sure the dial on the face of the bromine generator is turned to the OFF
position.
2. Balance both the pH and alkalinity.
3. Make sure that the spa’s pump is set to HIGH.
4. Sprinkle one two-pound bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100 US gallons (370 liters) of water
evenly over the surface of the water, shaking each bottle well first to break up any lumps. Allow three to
five minutes for the TRU BLU to dissolve completely before proceeding to the next step.
5. Turn the dial clockwise until the LED display (to the right of the dial) reads 10. This will initiate the build-
up of a bromine bank.
6. Monitor the bromine level until it is within the recommended range. (This may take a few days, depending
on the quality of water used on the initial fill.)
Note: It can take several days for the bromine level to stabilize because the water that you put into your spa
contains impurities that need to be neutralized, thereby using up the initial bromine that is generated. You can
expedite this process by “shocking” the water with a non-chlorine product.
7. Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved.
(Finding your maintenance setting may also take a few days. Test your water daily in conjunction with using
your spa. With monitoring of your spa use, and adjustment of the output level of the bromine generator, you
will have arrived at your maintenance setting when, after a period of normal use of your spa, you no longer
have to adjust the output level on your bromine generator to keep your bromine level within the range
recommended by the manufacturer.)
The appropriate setting for your bromine generator will depend on how often you use your spa. A spa with a
higher-than-average bather load will require a higher setting on the bromine generator. This simply means that
the bromine generator needs to product more bromine to maintain the level recommended by the manufacturer.
If the spa does not have a circulation pump that runs continuously, then ensure that your spa’s filtration cycle is
programmed so that water is circulated at least four hours per day to ensure adequate bromine production. (Spas
with higher than average bather loads may require a longer filtration cycle.)

Maintaining the Proper Water Chemistry
Ideal pH
The ideal pH range is 7.2 to 7.6.
The abbreviation pH stands for potential hydrogen. This test determines the acid content of your spa water. This
test should be done weekly and adjusted accordingly. Always add chemicals to water -- never add water to
chemicals.
• If the pH is above 7.6, lower it by adding muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate.
• If the pH is below 7.2, raise it by adding a base (such as baking soda or soda ash).
See your spa dealer for Cal Spas™ chemicals for adjusting your pH.
Complications which may occur from high pH include:
• The sanitizer may be unable to kill algae or bacteria.
• Solids may come out of the solution.
• The water may become cloudy.
• Calcium may out of the solution and cause scale or eye irritation.
Complications which my occur from low pH include:
• Water will become too acidic and cause eye irritation
• Damage to the spa and spa equipment
Also remember: Rain or the addition of fresh water will cause a change in pH.
Total Alkalinity
The ideal total alkalinity range is 80 to 120 ppm. Total alkalinity is a test done monthly to determine the amount
of alkaline material in the water. It also measures the water’s ability to neutralize acid and acts as a buffer
against sudden pH changes.
• If the total alkalinity is high, lower it by adding small amounts of sodium bisulfate or muriatic acid over a
period of three days. Follow the label directions based on the size of your spa.
• If the total alkalinity is low, raise it by adding bicarbonate (i.e., baking soda).
See your spa dealer for Cal Spas™ chemicals for adjusting your total alkalinity.
Total Dissolved Solids
The ideal range prior to adding TRU-BLU is 50 - 300 ppm.
The ideal range after adding TRU-BLU at a rate of two pounds for every 100 gallons is 2,500 ppm.

8.0 - 8.2 ppm 1.5 ounces
Greater than 8.4 ppm 2 ounces
Retest the spa’s pH vale after allowing two hours to pass and repeat the above steps if required. pH is closely
affected by your spa’s total alkalinity. Test your spa’s pH value at least twice every month. The correct range
for pH is 7.2 - 7.8 ppm. The lower the pH value, the more effective bromine is in spa water sanitation.
Caution: If the water becomes acidic (pH below 7.2), damage to spa surfaces and equipment may occur.
pH has a direct effect on bromine’s effectiveness at sanitizing your spa’s water! It also affects bather comfort.
Imbalance can result in eye irritation.
Adjusting Bromine Level
As discussed earlier, desired bromine levels vary between spas, mainly due to different bather loads. You will
quickly determine the right level for your particular spa. Of course, if bromine readings are lower than desired,
you can just turn up the dial on the bromine generator. Likewise, if bromine readings are higher than you want,
you can simply turn down the same dial. The bromine level will then gradually reduce tot he production rate
required to suit your needs.
Determining Sodium Bromide Level
It is important to be able to maintain the appropriate amount of TRU BLU sodium bromide in your spa’s water.
By following these instructions, you will be able to. There are some things to consider, however. You will
normally find that over the weeks and months that you are enjoying the use of your tub, the water level will
decrease for several reasons. One is evaporation. The other is a result of water “removal” (splashing, exiting
bathers, etc.). The first cause of water loss -- evaporation -- will not reduce the sodium bromide that is available
in your tub, because sodium bromide does not evaporate. The second cause -- water removal -- will, however,
result in loss of some sodium bromide.
Since it is impossible to know how much water loss results from evaporation and how much from removal, it is
necessary to determine your sodium bromide level when adding water to the tub. There are available, through
your dealer, sodium bromide test strips. Use of these strips will help you determine how much, if any, TRU
BLU to add. Consult your dealer for more information.
Common Questions About the Automatic Bromine Generator
Q. Why do pool and spa professionals warn consumers against using chlorine in hot tubs and spas?
A. Chlorine is an extremely corrosive chemical and may cause damage to equipment; moreover, most spas
maintain temperatures of over 100 degrees and chlorine readily evaporates at about 97 degrees, potentially
leaving the spa’s water untreated.
Q. What causes a fishy or musty smell with spas?
A. Low bromine or no bromine, which is usually caused by failing to fill up the bromine feeder or failing to
return it to the spa after bathing.
Q. How often do I need to drain my spa with an automatic bromine generator?
Page 50 2005 Spa Owner's Manual
8/1/2005
Water Quality Maintenance
A. With traditional chemical treatment plans, spas need to be drained and cleaned about every three months in
order to remove residue and by-products that accumulates in the water. However, with an automatic
bromine generator, the build-up of residue is minimal, and spa owners can go as long as a year without
having to drain and refill their spas.
Q. How may hours per day will I have to operate my spa’s pump once I install an automatic bromine
generator?
A. Most spas will operate at four hours of water circulation per day, but if you find that your dial is at a high
setting but your bromine level is lower than desired, you might want to run the pump for up to eight hours
per day. Remember that all spas are unique (due to different bathers, different loads, etc.). Within a short
time, you will be able to determine the right circulate cycle for your particular spa. (Also note that in the
event of a power outage, the filtration cycle will revert back to the factory default setting.)
Q. Now that I have an automatic bromine generator, do I sill have to check my spa’s chemistry?
A. Yes, definitely! You need to maintain proper pH and total alkalinity at all times, because pH has a direct
relationship to the effectiveness of bromine to sanitize water.
Q. Why is there little or no bromine odor with the automatic bromine generator?
A. This is due to the electrolytic bromine generation process. The electronic field around the bromine-
generating cell destroys “bromamines”, which are what cause the strong, objectionable odor (not bromine
itself).
Q. Why does the display go to a minus sign every few minutes?
A. This indicator informs you that the polarity of the electrodes is changing every two minutes. This process is
for the cleaning of the electrode cell to prevent any scale build-up on it.
Q. My automatic bromine generator lights up but I can’t get a bromine reading.
A. There are three reasons why you might not get a reading:
• It can take several days for the bromine level to stabilize because the water you put into your spa
contains impurities that need to be neutralized, thereby using up the initial bromine that is generated.
Refer to that section on how to resolve this problem.
• The TDS (total dissolved solids) count might be too high -- bromine production will be impaired when
the TDS count exceeds 3500 ppm.
• The phosphate level might be too high -- bromine production can be impaired when the phosphate level
exceeds 1125 ppb. Ask you dealer about products that reduce phosphates.
Q. My automatic bromine generator is wired in but it doesn’t light up.
A. Contact a certified electrician to examine your bromine generator and your spa.

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 fix water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using
excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive filtration times, or by water replacement.
Cal Spas™ filtration system simply draws contaminated water through the exclusive Bio-Clean™ filter
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 filtered water
for further protection against contaminants during filtration 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 flow is steady. As
the flow of water goes through the filter, dirt and debris is removed and accumulated in the filter cartridge. As
the filter cartridge accumulates dirt and debris, water flow is restricted and jet performance is reduced. This can
cause your spa to not run or heat effectively.
Clean your filter regularly and replace as needed.
Filter Cleaning
Your new Cal Spa has been designed for quick and easy filter maintenance. The filter cartridge should be
cleaned once a week. These instructions apply to both dual and single filtration systems (Figure 19).
Figure 19. Dual and single filtration systems
1. Turn the power off at the breaker.
2. Remove the filter(s) cover (if applicable) by rotating the cover counterclockwise and lifting it off..
3. Remove the filter(s) basket. With some types you may need to align the flat areas on the filter basket and the
canister.
4. Remove the filter(s) by pulling up and out.
5. Clean the filter with a garden hose as follows:

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Spa
a. Hold the filter vertically.
b. Spray the filter cartridges with a pressure nozzle, starting from the top and spraying down each pleat.
c. Turn the filter cartridge over and repeat Step 5B.
d. Reinstall the filter cartridge in reverse order of removal.
e. Deep clean filter cartridge(s) every month. Use only a Cal Spas™-approved filter-cleaning chemical.
Exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge is designed to remove dirt, sand, minerals, phosphates, bather waste and other solids from
the spa. Unfortunately, some spa owners fail to include filter 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 filter cartridge on the market today.
Having a filter cartridge that prevents bacteria growth is simply added protection for those times you forget to
clean the filter. We recommend that you only replace your spa’s filter cartridge with a Bio-Clean™ filter
cartridge for ensured protection and peace of mind.

Ultimate Series Spa Lighting and Sensor Installation
Ported Spa Light (12V)
Ported spas are spas factory installed in a wooden cabinet for above ground installation. Because of this, most
of these spas are ordered with a traditional 12V spa light system which requires little on-site installation. In fact
the only steps necessary for installation are running two wires from the electrical port (located at the back of the
spa) to the control box on the equipment skid. (Please see routing instructions below for proper installation.)
12V Light Routing
1. Locate the electrical port at the back side of the spa.
2. Locate the light wires. (Black and white wire bundle.)
3. Layout the light bundle to see if enough wire is provided to reach the control box. (Located on the
equipment pack.)
4. Extend wire length if necessary to reach the control box.
5. Run light wire in conduit (generally in the same conduit as the topside control panel and temperature sensor)
to the control box.
6. Connect the black and white light wires to the appropriate “12V Light location” on the terminal block inside
the control box. (See Figure 30 for example)
Note: Terminal block location may vary in each control box. Always refer to the wiring diagram located on the
inside cover of the control box lid for proper connection location for that system.
7. Turn on power and test light by pressing the light button on the topside control panel.
Figure 30. 12V routing instructions
Topside Control Panel and Sensor Installation
Topside control panels are factory installed on the spa shell. The next few steps to complete the installation
should be performed along with installation of the temperature sensor and 12V spa light wiring (if applicable).
All of these components are generally installed using the same conduit.
Page 64 2005 Spa Owner's Manual
8/1/2005
Appendix
1. Locate the topside control panel extension loom in the control box mounted with the equipment pack. This
extension loom and attached black terminal connector will be used to connect the topside control panel to
the control box.
2. Connect one end of the black terminal connector to the topside control panel cable.
3. Connect the other end of the terminal connector to the extension loom (See Figure 31)
Note: This connection must be kept dry. We recommend that a water proof junction box be used in installations
were moisture could penetrate this terminal connector.
4. Layout the extension loom to verify that you have enough length to reach the control box. Remember that
conduit runs are not generally run in a straight line. Every bend, and up and down run consumes line
length. Take this into consideration when verifying electrical and plumbing runs.
5. Connect the extension loom to the control panel location on the circuit board located inside the control box.
You will also need to connect both the temperature and high limit sensors to the circuit board prior to
testing. (See the temperature and high limit installation instruction on the next page for proper identification
and See the wiring diagram on the inside cover of the control box for proper placement.)
6. Turn on the power supply to the spa equipment and briefly test all functions on the topside control panel to
verify that both connections and extension loom are in working order before proceeding with the
installation.
Note: Circuit board programming will not allow spa operation without both the temperature and high limit
sensors being properly connected to the circuit board. See Temperature and High Limit installation
instructions on the following pages to ensure proper connection prior to applying power and performing
function testing.
7. Once topside panel operation is verified. Turn off power, disconnect the extension loom from the circuit
board and GENTLY route through conduit to complete installation.
Note: This loom and its connector are not meant to withstand heavy pulling. Make sure, when routing the
extension loom and temperature sensor lines through conduit, you exercise extreme caution.
8. Once properly run through the conduit repeat Steps 5 and 6 above.
Figure 31. Terminal connector
Temperature and High Limit Sensors
The temperature sensor housing is a factory installed wall fitting generally located 18“ below water level on the
front wall of the spa shell. (Near the spa light.) While the high limit sensor housing is located inside the
plumbing fitting above the heat pump.

Appendix
Both of these sensors are delivered inside the control box with the extension loom. Identifying and connecting
the two sensors in the correct location on the circuit board is very important. Sensors located incorrectly, will
cause the spa to operate incorrectly and could result in spa damage.
Identifying and Installation
The temperature sensor has a 3/8” bulb with 50' of wire length, while the the high limit sensor has a 1/4” bulb
with 48” of wire length. Both of these sensors must be properly installed prior to spa operation.
Temperature Sensor Installation
Refer to Figure 32 for the following procedure.
1. Locate the temperature sensor wall fitting on the spa shell
2. Layout the temperature sensor from the sensor wall fitting to the control box to verify that the length of the
sensor wire is adequate for conduit run
3. Loosen (clockwise) the small black finger nut at the end of the temperature sensor wall fitting. Do not
remove. Removal will cause the water sealing o-ring to fall out, causing damage or loss.
4. Firmly press the temperature sensor into the opening at the end of the temperature sensor wall fitting.
5. Tighten the small black finger nut until snug.
6. Using spray insulating foam (Polyurethane), spray at least 6” of foam thickness covering the entire back
side (installation side) of sensor and sensor wall fitting.
7. Secure sensor to topside control panel and 12V light wires (if applicable) and GENTLY route through
conduit to complete installation.
Note: The sensor wires and extension loom and its connector are not meant to withstand heavy pulling. Make
sure, when routing these wires through conduit, you exercise extreme caution.
8. Plug the temperature sensor into the temperature sensor location on the circuit board located inside the
control box. (See the wiring diagram on the inside cover of the control box for proper placement.)
9. Follow the high limit sensor installation instructions prior to testing operation. Circuit board programming
will not allow spa operation without both sensors being connected to the circuit board.
Figure 32. Temperature sensor and sensor wall fitting
High Limit Sensors
The high limit sensor housing is a factory installed plumbing fitting located on the discharge side of pump #1
(Heat Pump). Most equipment packs will have this sensor already installed for you.
Visually inspect the circuit board and plumbing fitting to verify the high limit sensor is already installed. If not,
follow the installation steps below.

4. Plug the high limit sensor into the high limit sensor location on the circuit board located inside the control
box. (See the wiring diagram on the inside cover of the control box for proper placement.)
5. Make sure that both the temperature and high limit sensor are installed correctly according to the wiring
diagram listed on the inside cover of the control box.
Note: Circuit board programming will not allow spa operation without both sensors being connected to the
circuit board. Verify connections prior to applying power and performing function testing.
Remote Freeze Sensor (Optional)
If you are installing outdoor equipment in cold climate, you should install a Remote Freeze Sensor. This sensor
will protect remote equipment like booster pumps or heater from possible freeze damage.
Sensor Function
When this sensor reaches 40°F it will automatically turn on every pump and blower to circulate water to prevent
freezing. During “Freeze Mode”, the spas functions cannot be controlled. Once the sensor reaches 45°F, the spa
will regain normal operation.
Remote Freeze Sensor Installation
1. Using a large wire tie strap or zip tie, secure the sensing disk to the booster pump or heater manifold at the
lowest metallic point possible. (See
2. Plug the other end of the freeze sensor to the “AUX FREEZE” location on the circuit board. (Location may
vary by model. See wiring diagram on the inside cover of the control box)
3. Using wire tie straps, secure the “AUX FREEZE” sensor wire to the equipment to prevent damage during
maintenance or servicing.

Keeping Fit with your Cal Spa
The fitness series spas put the fun back into fitness. This comes with everything you need for a high powered,
low impact, result-getting workout in total comfort and privacy. Plus you get a spa loaded with incredible
therapeutic seating, variable jet massage and generous control options, and the most gorgeous cabinetry on the
planet.
The fitness equipment consists of two exercise arm bars, two exercise band cords, two exercise bands and grips,
and an exercise belt. This equipment attaches quickly and easily to the exercise anchors located on the spa
walls.
Figure 34. Fitness Series™ Equipment
IMPORTANT: Always consult your physician before starting any exercise activity or program. The fitness
series spas feature rubber exercise bands. When stretched, these bands create a hi-tension condition. Improper
use or failure to connect the exercise bands properly may cause injury. Always inspect all of the exercise
equipment prior to beginning any exercise. Do not use any damaged equipment
Fitness Series™ Exercise Program
Many people have never performed resistance training and/or may not fully understand the benefits of this
extremely important form of exercise for the goal of improving your health, appearance and overall confidence.
Resistance training is necessary when trying to loose body fat, maintain and improve lean muscle structure and
increase energy levels while improving flexibility.
Hydrotherapy is a remarkable way of utilizing water and heating to promote health and wellness. The majority
of people are turning back to natural methods of healing and health practices to improve their body externally,
but most of all internally. Hydrotherapy provides specific benefits for increased blood circulation,
detoxification, reduction of body fat, replenish minerals and nutrients in the body and relieve stress.

Fitness Series™ Exercise Program
20 to 30 min. session three times a week
1. Seated Row: An all around exercise that focuses on the muscles of the upper back, shoulders and arms.
Using the exercise bars in a seated position with your feet stable, abs tight and lower back stable. Palms
down, arms extended with elbows slightly bent. Pull towards your chest squeezing your shoulder blades to
the middle back and returning slowly to the starting position.
2. Standing Chest Fly: An excellent upper body exercise that focuses on the muscles of the chest, shoulders
and arms. Using the exercise grips, place palms sideways facing your body with your elbows slightly bent.
Pull forward toward your body bringing hands together, squeezing and flexing chest muscles, then slowly
returning to the starting position.
3. Standing Chest Press: Using the exercise grips, place your palms down with your elbows bent at 90 ˚. Press
forward bringing your hands together, squeezing and flexing your chest muscles, then slowly return to the
start position.
4. Standing Shoulder Press: Using the exercise grips, place your palms facing away from your body with your
elbows bent at 90˚. Press upward bringing your hands together in front of you, above your head and slowly
return to the start position.
5. Arm Curls: Using the exercise grips, place your hands face up with your elbows slightly bent, pull upward
towards your chin squeezing and flexing your biceps then slowly return to start position.
6. Hydro Squats: Excellent for defining and firming the buttocks, thighs and legs. From a standing position,
slowly sink down into the water until your buttocks is level with your knees (90˚). Squeezing your muscles
tightly like sitting in a chair with abs tight and your back straight then slowly returning to standing position.
7. Hydro Leg Extensions: Sitting with your feet flat, knees bent (90˚) and abs tight. Lift your foot upwards
straightening the leg while squeezing and flexing the thigh muscles and slowly lowering the foot to start
position.
Important: Consult your physician before starting any exercise activity or program. The fitness series spas
feature rubber exercise bands. When stretched, these bands create a hi-tension condition. Improper use or
failure to connect the exercise bands properly may result in injury. Always inspect all exercise equipment prior
to beginning any exercise. Do not use any damaged equipment.
Warm Water Workouts
Almost any exercise that can be done on land, including walking or jogging, can be also done in water. If you
have arthritis and you're exercising in a spa or hot tub, however, you'll probably focus on range-of-motion
exercises that work the toe, ankle, knee, leg, hip, hand, wrist and shoulder. The size and shape of the hot tub, of
course, will determine the specific types of exercises you can do in it. Cal Spas™ would like to share some tips
on the benefits of warm water therapy.
Forward Arm Reach
With both arms, reach straight in front of you. Raise your hands overhead as high as possible, keeping your
elbows as straight as you can. If one arm is very weak, use your other arm to help raise it.
Elbow Bend
Start with your elbows as straight as possible, fingers pointing down. Bend your elbows and try to touch your
thumbs to your shoulders. Keep your elbows close to your body. You do not have to touch your shoulders. Then
relax your elbows and straighten your arms down at your sides.
2005 Spa Owner's Manual Page 73
8/1/2005
Appendix
Wrist Bend
Bend both of your wrists upward and then downward. You can also exercise one wrist at a time by placing your
free hand, thumb out, under the exercising wrist. Hands and fingers should be relaxed.
Finger Curl
Curl your fingers into your palm to make a loose fist then straighten them out.
Ankle Circles
While seated, make large inward circles with your left foot, moving it from the ankle. Repeat circles in the
opposite direction. Then repeat the exercise with your right foot.
Spread Eagle
While sitting on the edge of a bath seat, straighten one knee. While holding it straight, slowly move it out to the
side. Hold it out for three seconds, then bring it back to the center and relax. Repeat these instructions with your
other leg.
