Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Read This First!

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

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 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.

WARNING -- To reduce the 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.

DANGER -- Risk of injury:

The suction ttings in this spa are sized to match the specic 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.

Never operate the spa if the suction tting or lter

baskets are broken or missing. 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:

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.

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.

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.

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 benets, 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:

2010 Portable Spa

LTR20101000, Rev. C

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

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 specic

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.

Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa’s entrance 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 for Your New Portable Spa

Preparing a Good Foundation

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 qualied,

licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your spa.

2010 Portable Spa

LTR20101000, Rev. C

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.

120 Volt Electrical Installation

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

240 Volt Electrical Installation

All 240V spas must be permanently connected

(hardwired) to the power supply. See the wiring diagram on page 7.

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.

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.

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.

The electrical circuit must be installed by an electrical contractor and approved by a local building or electrical inspector.

Failure to comply with state and local codes

may result in re or personal injury and will

be the sole responsibility of the spa owner.

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 2.

will 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!

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):

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.

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.

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.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Connect PVC lines to the gas heater. 5.

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.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

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 cartridge from lter canister.3.

Place a garden hose in the lter canister and ll 4.

your spa with regular tap water about six inches from the top.

VERY IMPORTANT!

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 7.

is bled, 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.

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.

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.

Priming the Pump

New spa owners often have difculty the rst time they start their spa and the pump fails to prime. This can be

frustrating, but these simple instructions can help you.

Sometimes air can become trapped in the pump while lling the spa. You will know this has happened when after you have lled and started the spa, the pump does not seem to function. You will hear the pump operating,

but no water will be moving. There are two methods of priming the pump.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

The rst method will remove small air bubbles

trapped in the pump.

Turn the spa on and wait for PR (Priming Mode) to 1. appear on the topside display.

Press the JETS1 button to turn on the pump and 2. let it run for 10 seconds. The pump should be running in low speed.

Press the JETS1 buttons again and let the pump 3. run in high speed for 10 seconds.

Press the JETS1 button again to turn off the pump. 4. The pump should be left in the off position for 10 to 15 seconds.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 until water is owing 5. through all the jets and all air is removed from the plumbing.

The pump will not work

properly while air is trapped in it. Continuing to operate the pump in this way will cause damage.

The second method will remove a large air lock within the pump.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the front 1. panel from the spa and locate the pump.

While the spa is operating, turn the bleeder valve 2. counter clockwise with a small pair of pliers or

a at head screwdriver until the air has been

released from the pump. If this is unsuccessful, loosen the white union nut 3.

on side of the pump with channel locks. When air is bled out, tighten the nut and set the pump on high speed.

Whenever you ll your spa, ll it through

the lter canister and make sure all jets

are open.

Note: If you press the Temp button any time during Priming Mode, it will exit that mode and begin Standard Mode.

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 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 congured 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.

Electrical Power Efciency

Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater. Following the directions listed below will ensure the

most efcient 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.

If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the set temperature should remain at the desired usage •

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.

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 (counter-

clockwise 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 wa-

ter ow through

a section of jets. To increase the amount of wa-

ter ow through

the other section of jets, rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).

Waterfalls

Some spa series include optional waterfalls. When the booster pump is on, turn the knob near the waterfall, or rotate the dial on top of the waterfall.

Water will immediately start owing through it.

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 air venturi knob to the left (counterclockwise) to increase the amount

of airow through

the jets. To decrease

the amount of airow

through the jets, rotate the handle to

the right (clockwise).

Your Key

To Clear

Water

Clear Water Plan

This section is intended for new spa owners with no experience with water chemistry. Everyone’s experience with maintaining water quality is different, but there are some general concepts you need to know.

Water maintenance is not difcult, although it requires regular attention. The most important thing to understand about taking care of your spa water is that preventive action is much easier than correcting

Clear Water Plan

water quality issues.

The Key to Clear Water

Excellent water quality is a simple matter of four things:

Regularity

Clear water requires regular maintenance. Establish a routine based on a regular schedule for your spa water maintenance.

Maintaining your water quality helps the enjoyment of your spa and extends your spa’s life by preventing damage from neglect and chemical abuse.

See page 30 for the schedule of recommended maintenance.

Sanitation

Sanitizers kill bacteria and viruses and keep the water clean. A low sanitizer level will allow microbes to grow quickly in the spa water.

We recommend using either chlorine or bromine as your sanitizer.

Spa owners with a Cal Zone 2000 ozonator or a Cal Clarity bromine generator also need to add sanitizer, although their requirements are different.

See page 26 for learn how to use sanitizer.

Contents of this section:

Testing and Adjusting Spa Water Sanitation Filtration Bather Load Starting the Spa with Fresh Water Maintenance Schedule Cal Zone Quest Ozonator Cal Clarity Bromine Generator Troubleshooting Water Clarity Problems

Cleaning your lter regularly is the easiest

and most effective single thing you can do to keep your water clear.

A clogged or dirty lter will cause the heater

and pump to work harder than they need to, possibly causing them to fail.

The spa’s heating system will only function

with the proper amount

of water ow through the

system. See page 28 for lter

cleaning instructions.

You will need to test and adjust the chemical balance of your spa water. Although

this is not difcult, it needs

to be done regularly.

Depending on your choice of sanitizer, you need to test the level of calcium hardness, total alkalinity, and pH. Spa owners with a Cal Clarity bromine generator also need to check total dissolved solids and phosphates.

See page 26 for learn how to balance your spa water.

Need to lower the pH level

Need to raise the pH level

You have two types of testing methods to choose from:

The • reagent test kit is a method which provides a high level of accuracy. It is available in either liquid

or tablet form.

Test strips • are a convenient testing method commonly used by spa owners.

Clear Water Plan

Balancing the Total Alkalinity

Total alkalinity (TA) is the measure of the total levels of carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides, and other alkaline substances in the water. TA can be

considered a “pH buffer”. It is the measure of the

ability of the water to resist changes in pH level.

The recommended total alkalinity is 80 - 120 ppm.

If the TA is too low, the pH level will uctuate widely from high to low. Low TA can be corrected

by adding Cal Spas “pH-Alkalinity Up”.

If the TA is too high, the pH level will tend to be too

high and may be difcult to bring down. High TA

can be corrected by adding Cal Spas “pH-Alkalinity

Down”.

When the TA is balanced, it normally remains stable, although adding water with high or low alkalinity will raise or lower the TA level.

Balancing the pH

The pH level is the measure of the balance between acidity and alkalinity.

Balancing the Calcium Hardness

Calcium hardness (CH) is a measure of the total amount of dissolved calcium in the water. Calcium helps control the corrosive nature of the spa’s water and is why soft water is not recommended. The low calcium content of soft water is very corrosive to the equipment and can cause staining of the spa shell.

The recommended calcium hardness is 150

- 200 ppm.

If the CH is too low, add Cal Spas “Liquid Hardness

Increaser”.

If the CH is too high, dilute the spa water with soft water or, if this is not available, add Cal Spas “Stain

and Scale Defense”.

When the CH is balanced, it normally remains stable, although adding soft water or very hard water will raise or lower the CH level.

If the pH is too low, it can cause corrosion of metal

xtures and the heating element. Low pH can be

corrected by adding pH-Alkalinity Up. If the pH is too high, it can cause scaling by allowing

metals or minerals to form deposits and stain spa surfaces. High pH can be corrected by adding pHAlkalinity Down.

Sanitation

After you ll your spa, you need to decide which chemical sanitizer you wish to use. Consult your Cal Spas

dealer for the right decision with regards to your lifestyle and spa usage. We recommend either bromine or chlorine as your sanitizer. Both work well when maintained regularly.

Sanitizers kill bacteria and other organic waste by breaking them down to non-harmful levels and are ltered

Clear Water Plan

out. Make sure you follow all instructions and use only Cal Spas brand chemicals. Whichever plan you decide on, follow it completely and don’t take shortcuts. It will provide you with clean,

safe, clear spa water with a minimum of effort. Spa owners with the Cal Zone Quest ozonator or the Cal Clarity bromine generator still need to use a chemical sanitizer. See page 31 for instructions on usage.

DO NOT use trichlor. Trichlor is very acidic and the hot temperature of the spa causes it to dissolve too quickly. It will cause damage to your spa and will void your warranty.

Using Chlorine as a Sanitizer

If you choose to use chlorine as a sanitizer, only use granulated chlorine, not liquid chlorine. We recommend

you use only Cal Spas “Chlorinating Granules”.

Once a week, check the chlorine level using either a test strip or a reagent kit. See the table on the following page for the ideal range.

Add one or two tablespoons of Cal Spas “Chlorinating Granules” to the spa water weekly. Note that chlorine

dissipation rate will be faster at higher water temperatures and slower at lower temperatures. When you add chlorine, open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed with the cover open for at least

30 minutes. Follow the maintenance schedule on page page 30.

Using Bromine as a Sanitizer

Bromine is a very effective sanitizer that produces low chemical odors. Unlike chlorine, it can break down bacteria and other impurities to a safe level with a low burn-out rate.

Bromine is available in both granulated and tablet form. Use granulated bromine to establish your bromine base. Use tablets

to maintain it. The lter cartridge provided with your spa has an internal chamber for bromine tablets. Do not use a oater.

When you begin with fresh water, add 2 ounces of Cal Spas Go Brom. Open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed. This is your base bromine level as the tablets will take a while to dissolve.

Adding Sanitizer Tablets to the Chemical Chamber

Add two ounces of Oxidizer Shock. Open all of the jets and run on high speed with the cover half open for at least 30 minutes.

Place three or four bromine tablets in the chamber inside the

lter cartridge as shown in the gure at right.

Follow the maintenance schedule on page page 30.

Shocking the Water

In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spa’s water and improves your sanitizer’s effectiveness.

Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. The only shock you should use is Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock. It is an easy way to maintain either chlorine or bromine chemical plans.

For best results use the directions below. Add one ounce of Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock:

Chemical Safety

Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles and packages. Failure to follow chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death.

Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended in the Clear Water Plan or on chemical bottles and packages.

Never change chemical brands or types without

completely draining, ushing and thoroughly cleaning the spa and cover rst.

Never mix chemicals together. Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin,

eyes or clothing. 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.

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.

The Pure XL water sanitizer is an optional water purication system installed at the factory. It works 24 hours a day with the continuous ltration pump during normal operation of the spa. It eradicates germs in the

water that are resistant to chlorine-based chemicals using high intensity UV light. There are no settings to adjust and is virtually maintenance-free. Once a year the UV light needs to be

replaced and the quartz sleeve needs to be cleaned.

This is not a user-serviceable item and maintenance must be performed by a spa technician.

Clear Water Plan

Have your service technician consult the manufacturer’s instruction and service manual. (UV

water purier system is manufactured by Aqua Ultraviolet.)

About the Pure XL Water Sanitizer

Filter Cleaning

The lter is the part of your spa that removes the debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a regular basis to maximize your spa’s ltering performance and heating efciency.

In addition to spraying off the lter weekly to remove surface debris, your lter should be deep cleaned periodically to dissolve scale and particles that get lodged deep within the lter bers and impede the ltration process. Even if the lter looks clean, scale and particles 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.

We recommend you clean your lter once a month and replace it once a year or as necessary.

Remove the lter by turning it counterclockwise, unscrewing the bottom threads, then pulling it up and 1.

out.

Place the dirty lter into a bucket of water deep enough to cover the lter. Add 8 oz of Cal Spas “Liquid 2.

Filter Cleaner” to the bucket of water. Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare lter to use in the spa while the dirty lter is being deep cleaned.

This way, you can rotate the lters and both will last longer.

Twist off the tablet tube and set it aside.3.

Soak the lter for a minimum of 24 hours.4. Spray the lter with a water hose. Spray each pleat carefully.5. Put fresh bromine in the tablet tube (if you use it as a sanitizer) and twist it back on top of the lter.6.

Reinstall the lter. Do not overtighten.7.

Bather Load

Clear Water Plan

“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

to 4 people, 15 minutes of usage, three 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.

Starting the Spa with Fresh Water

This applies to all spa owners EXCEPT those with the Cal Clarity bromine generator. See instructions on page page 31 for bromine generator operating

instructions and spa lling procedures.

We recommend you use 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.

Prior to lling a spa for the rst time, or after a routine

draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to extend water life and performance.

As with all chemical dosages listed in these Clear Water Plans, start-up dosages are intended for 500gallon spas. Please adjust the chemical dosages to the capacity of your particular spa.

Cal Zone Quest Ozonator

The Cal Zone ozone generator releases ozone into the spa water. You will still need to test for chlorine and occasionally replenish it to return the chlorine level to the baseline.

This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Cal Zone Quest 1000 / 2000 Ozonator or Del Zone Eclipse Ozonator. The chemical references are designed for Cal Spas chemicals only.

Start Up

Follow the spa start up procedures for chlorine Clear Water Plan. 1. Set the spa’s ltration time for “F-4”. This activates the ozonator and produces the ozone gas.2.

Note: Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load.

Day One (Monday)

Clear Water Plan

Pour in 16 oz. of Cal Spas “Metal Protector” in the 5. center of spa.

Test for TDS (total dissolved solids). 6.

Test for phosphates. Phosphate level should be 7. below 200 ppb. Remove phosphates if necessary.

Determine the gallon capacity of the spa. Be 8. accurate, because this determines the amount of TRU BLU that will be added. Consult the Cal Spas Pre-delivery Guide for spa gallons.

Power up the spa and make sure all the spa’s 9. pumps are set to high speed. Turn the dial on the face of the Cal Clarity Bromine Generator to OFF.

Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the spa one 10. 2lb bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100

US gallons (370 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 11. can dissolve completely before proceeding to the next step.

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.

Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range is 80 • to 120 ppm),

Adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to 7.8).•

The ideal range is 50 to 300 ppm. • TDS must be less than 500 ppm to start with.•

This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank.15.

Set the ltration cycle to “continuous” (F-C) for 16. the rst 24 hours.

Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to 17. desired 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

bather load is 4.

When changing the setting, use bromine test strips to determine when you have reached the level you want.

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.

Cleaning and Maintenance

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.

Draining Your Portable Spa

Your spa should be drained every four to six months,

and relled 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 3.

the access panel and open it.

Locate hose ending with the 3/4 inch hose-bib 4.

xture.

Cleaning and Maintenance

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.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. 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.

See the section “Clear Water Plan” for more information on cleaning your lter.

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. Remove the lter baskets and lters.2.

Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions above.3.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Vacuum water from the spa’s main drain tting with a 4.

wet/dry vacuum. Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps.5. Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump.6. Blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment 7.

Vacation Care

You can leave your spa unattended for up to two weeks if you follow these instructions.

ALWAYS lock your cover using the cover locks if you plan to be away from home and the spa is lled with water.

Set the spa to Sleep Mode. (See instructions on 1. page 12 or page 14 for changing modes.) Following the water quality instructions starting on 2. page 24, adjust the pH. Shock the water (add either chlorine or bromine sanitizer).3. When you return, check and adjust the pH and shock the water.4.

If you will not be using your spa for longer than 14 days and a spa maintenance service is not available, we

strongly recommend you drain or winterize your spa.

Cleaning Your Spa

Spa Cover and Pillows

Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by

applying Cal Spas Vinyl and Leather Cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. It is specically

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.

Warning: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on spa covers or pillows. These products are

generally oil-based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are difcult to correct.

Spa Shell

Each time you drain your spa, before you rell it you should clean your spa shell with our Cal Spas

All-Purpose Cleaner and apply a protective coat of Cal Spas Fast Sheen.

Cal Spas All-Purpose Cleaner is a low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner specically formulated to clean

the spa without damaging its acrylic nish.

Cal Spas Fast Sheen is a non-oil based wax that is specically formulated to protect the spa’s nish

from the chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly to the spa’s nish.1. Wipe clean with a soft cloth.2. Repeat on heavily calcied areas.3. Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing often in a bucket of clean water.4. Allow the spa to dry completely.5. Apply a coat of Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen to the spa’s entire nish with a soft cloth or sponge.6. Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery.7. Buff clean with a soft cloth, rotating frequently.8.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any of these products on spas full of water. Only apply to clean, cool, dry

surfaces. Incorrect product usage may cause water clarity issues.
