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:

2011 Portable Spa

LTR20111000, Rev. D

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.

Failure to perceive heat• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot •

tub Unawareness of impending hazard• Fetal damage in pregnant women• Physical inability to exit the spa• Unconsciousness•

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

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 a Good Foundation

Your spa needs a solid and level foundation. The area that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the spa, with water 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 and nish.

Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the spa.

Place the spa on an elevated 3” - 4” concrete slab. Pavers, gravel, brick, sand, timbers or dirt foundations are not adequate to support the spa.

We strongly recommend that a qualied, licensed

contractor prepare the foundation for your spa.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

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, it is highly recommended that you consult a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight of 150 pounds per square foot.

To properly identify the weight of your new spa when full, remember water weighs 8.33 lbs. per gallon. For example, an average 8’ spa holds approximately 500

gallons of water. Using this formula, you will nd that the weight of the water alone is 4,165 lbs. Combined

with the dry weight of the spa you will note that this spa will weigh approximately 5,000 lbs. when full of water.

120 Volt Electrical Installation

Always follow applicable local, state and federal codes and guidelines.

Use only a dedicated electrical line with a 15 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 15 amp GFCI connection (NEC 680.42(A) (2)). Do not use extension cords!

Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle. Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet (1.5

m) from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m) from the inside wall of the spa. (NEC 680.43(A))

Do not bury the power cord. If your cord becomes damaged, replace it before next usage.

All 120V spas must have a GFCI. This can be either a 15 amp GFCI receptacle or a 15 amp GFCI cord and

plug kit as shown (CKIT110 - P/N ELE09700086).

Testing the GFCI

Test the GFCI plug prior to rst use and periodically

when the spa is powered.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Plug in the 1. GFCI into the power outlet. The in dicator should turn on.

Press the TEST button. 2. The GFCI will trip, the indicator will turn off, and the spa will stop operating.

Press the RESET 3. button. The GFCI will reset, the indicator will turn on again, and

the spa will turn back on. The spa is now safe to use. If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the

RESET button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug the spa and call your local Cal Spas dealer for service. DO NOT USE THE SPA!

240 Volt Electrical Installation

All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hard wired) to the power supply. See the wiring diagram on page 8.

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

NEC 70 and any applicable local, state, and federal

codes.

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.

GFCI and Wiring Requirements

The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated

GFCI protected circuit as required by NEC 70 with no

other appliances or lights sharing the power. Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use

aluminum wire. Use the table on the next page to determine your

GFCI and wiring requirements. Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge

to the next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp GFCI with four #6 AWG Copper wires run over 85 feet would require you to go to four #4 AWG copper wires.

Testing the GFCI Breaker

Test the GFCI breaker prior to rst use and periodically

when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker follow these instructions (spa should be operating):

Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will 1.

trip and the spa will shut off.

Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker 2.

to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn

the breaker back on. The spa should have power

again.

Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

This applies to all spa owners EXCEPT those with the Cal Clarity II bromine generator. See instructions on page 28 for bromine generator operating instructions and spa lling procedures.

Inspect the spa equipment.1.

After 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 did not loosen during shipment.

If your spa has gate valves, make sure they are all in the UP or OPEN position.

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.2.

Unscrew the cartridge and remove it.

After you remove the lter, remove the plastic wrapper

and soak it in water for 30 minutes before you replace

it. A dry lter can allow air into the ltration system

which can cause the pump to fail to prime.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Fill the spa.3.

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.

2011 Portable Spa

LTR20111000, Rev. D

Place a garden hose in the lter canister and ll your spa

with regular tap water about six inches from the top. If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will not

operate properly.

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.

www. c a ls p as . co m

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Turn on power to the spa.4.

When the spa is lled to the correct level, turn on the power at the GFCI

breaker. (Ensure that the 120V spas are connected to the proper electrical outlet.)

Prime the pump.5.

Your spa will perform a self-diagnostic check and go into priming mode. When the control panel displays PR, do the following:

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

Press the JETS buttons again and let the pump run b. in high speed for 10 seconds.

Press the JETS button again to turn off the pump. c. The pump should be left off for 10 to 15 seconds.

Repeat steps a through c until water is owing d. through all the jets and all air is removed from the plumbing.

If spa fails to prime, there could be an air pocket at the suction side of the pump. Follow the priming instructions on page 11 using the bleeder valve.

Install the lter into the lter canister.6.

Make sure the lter has soaked at least 30 minutes before

you install it.

Let the spa heat up.7.

When the spa has nished priming, the heater will activate.

Put the cover on and let the spa run for two hours.

Adjust water chemistry.8.

After the spa has run for two hours, test and adjust the water chemistry. See the section on page 23 for instructions on water clarity.

Priming the Pump

The pump will not work properly while

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.

Using the control panel:

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

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

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

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

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

Press the JETS button again to turn off the pump. 4.

Using the bleeder valve:

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

Shut off the power to the spa.2. Close the gate valve on the discharge side of 3.

the pump. Turn the bleeder valve counter clockwise with 4.

a small pair of pliers or a at head screwdriver

until the air has been released from the pump.

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. Note: If you press the Temp button any time

during Priming Mode, it will exit that mode and begin Standard Mode.

If this is unsuccessful, loosen the white union 5. nut on side of the pump with channel locks. When air is bled out, tighten the nut.

Turn on power to the spa and press the JETS 6. button. If there is still air trapped in the pump, repeat steps 2 through 5 until the pump primes.

Operating Your Spa

Jet Operation: One Pump Systems

Single pump systems operate on high power only. To operate the jets, press the JETS button:

Once to turn the pump ON.• Twice to turn the pump OFF.•

Jet Operation: Two and Three Pump

Systems

Two and three pump systems can be congured to

operate on low or high power. The factory default is low power. This section describes how the spa

operates when it is congured for low power

operation. See page 6 for GFCI and wiring requirements for

both low and high power operation, and page 7 for

switch settings for high power conguration.

Spas congured for low power operation require

approximately 20% less power to operate. With low

power conguration, the spa will never use more

than 30 amps while in operation and will alternate

between 110V and 220V, while spas congured for

high power will operate continuously at 220V. When only one pump is running, the heater will

operate at 220V. When two or three pumps are running, the heater will automatically switch to operate at 110V.

The heater light will tell you when it is operating and what voltage it is using. See the “Heater Light” section above.

For spas congured for high power operation, the

heater will turn on when (1) the water temperature drops or (2) the jets are in use.

Operating the jets Press the JETS or JETS 1 button:

Heater Light

The heater light will turn on whenever the heater is operating. It will appear three different ways when the spa is operating:

A steady light means that the spa is operating at 220V.

A slowly blinking light means that the spa is operating at 120V.

A rapidly ashing light means that the heater is reading the water temperature. When the temperature has been determined, the heater light

will stop ashing. You will frequently see the heater light ashing rapidly while it is also steady or slowly

blinking.

Heating Modes

The spa can be set to operate in three different heating modes:

Standard:• When the spa is powered up, it will

automatically start in Standard heating mode. In Standard mode, the heating system will automatically maintain the set spa temperature.

STD or ST will light briey on the main display.

Economy:• In Economy mode, the heating

system will only activate during ltration times

and will heat the water to the set temperature. Ecn or Ec will display solid if temperature is not current and will alternate with spa temperature if measured temperature is current.

Sleep:• In Sleep mode, the heating system

will only activate the heater during the ltering

cycles but will only heat the water to within 20°F (10°C) of the set temperature. Like Economy mode, SLP or SL will display solid when temperature is not current and will alternate

with actual temperature when it is current. Once to turn pump 1 ON.• Twice to turn pump 1 OFF.•

Press the JETS 2 or OPTION button:

Once to turn pump 2 ON.• Twice to turn pump 3 ON. • Three times to turn pump 2 OFF.• Four times to turn pump 2 OF.•

of the ltration cycles to begin, then turn back on

after 30 seconds. If you have an ozonator, it will activate during the

ltration cycles.

Circulation Pump

This is an optional feature. If you have the optional circulation pump, it will come on when the system

is checking temperature, during lter cycles, during

freeze conditions, or when another pump is on. When the circulation pump is installed, pump 1 is

one-speed only. Otherwise, pump 1 is two-speed,

with the low speed performing ltration. (See page 7 for control box settings.)

Circulation Pump

This is an optional feature. The circulation pump will come on when the system is checking temperature,

during lter cycles, during freeze conditions, or when

another pump is on.

Preset Filter Cycles

There are two lter cycles per day. The start and end

times of each cycle are programmable. To program, set the time as instructed above, then press “MODE/ PROG” to advance to the next setting (or to exit

after the last setting). The default lter cycles are as

follows:

The rst lter cycle is automatically activated at •

8:00 AM and operates the pump until 10:00 AM.

The “FILTER 1” indicator icon will light when lter

1 is running.

The second lter cycle is automatically activated •

at 8:00 PM and operates the pump until 10:00 PM.

The “FILTER 2” indicator icon will light when lter

2 is running.

The pump and the ozone generator will run during

ltration. At the start of each lter cycle, the blower

will run on highest speed for 30 seconds to clean out the air channels. The lowest speed of pump 2 and

pump 3 will run for ve minutes. In the event of power

loss or shut down, the time of day will need to be

reset for lter cycles to run according to your desired

programming.

Clean up Cycle

Operating Your Spa

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-circulating 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.

Operating Your Spa

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.

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.

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).

LED Perimeter Lighting

Press the LIGHT button on the topside control panel to turn the spa light on. If your spa has perimeter LED lights, they will also light up at the same time as the spa light.

The perimeter lights operate in three modes:

Cycle: 1. The rst time you press the LIGHT button,

the lights will cycle through all the colors in this order:

White Cyan Magenta Blue Yellow/green Green Red

To cycle through the different color choices, press the button repeatedly. Each time you press the button, you advance to the next color.

Flashing white: 2. When you have cycled through all the colors, the next time you push the LIGHT

button, the LED lights will ash white.

Fading cycle: 3. The next time you push the LIGHT button, the lights will gradually fade from one color to the next in the order shown above.

Spas with exterior corner LED lighting work in the same modes as described above but do not light up when the interior perimeter lights are yellow/green, green or red.

Operating Your Spa

Diverter Knobs

Diverter knobs are 1” and 2” knobs located around the top of your spa. They allow you to divert water through jets from one side of the spa to the other,

or in most cases from oor jets to wall jets. This is

accomplished by rotating the diverter knob to the left (counterclockwise), decreasing the amount of

water ow through a section of jets. To increase the amount of water ow through the other section of

jets, rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).

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).

Hydro Streamer Waterfall

Your spa may include two to eight streamer waterfalls. When the booster pump is on, turn the 1” diverter

knob to adjust the rate of ow to the waterfall jets.

The waterfall jet faces are not adjustable. Do not turn the jet faces because you may accidentally remove them.

Always shut off water to the hydro streamer jets before you place the cover on the spa. Water from the hydro streamer jets sprays in an arc that is higher than the top surface of the spa. When water from the hydro str eamer sprays the bottom of the cover, it will collect and run to the edge of the spa and drip over the top.

Your Key

To Clear

Water

Water Clarity

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 water quality issues.

The Key to Clear Water

Excellent water quality is a simple matter of four things:

Chemical Balance

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 II bromine generator also need to check total dissolved solids and phosphates.

See page 24 for learn how to balance your spa water.

Filtration

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 27 for lter cleaning instructions.

2011 Portable Spa

LTR20111000, Rev. D

A Note on the Cal Clarity II System

The information in this section applies to all spas. However, the Cal Clarity II bromine generator has

a few specic requirements and exclusions, which

are called out where they occur in this section. The Cal Clarity II system uses its own bromine

chemical additive and does not require a sanitizer. Spa owners with the Cal Clarity II system need to learn how to use the system to prevent voiding their warranty.

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 an ozonator also need to add sanitizer, although their requirements are different.

See page 25 for learn how to use sanitizer.

The Cal Clarity II bromine generator does NOT require sanitizer. See page 28 for a description of its use.

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.

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

Testing and Adjusting Spa Water

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.

Water Clarity

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 an alkalinity increaser

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 an alkalinity decreaser.

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 a calcium hardness increaser.

If the CH is too high, dilute the spa water with soft water.

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.

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

xtures and the heating element. Low pH can be

corrected by adding a pH decreaser. 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 a pH increaser

Ideal Water Chemistry

Testing For: Ideal Range (ppm)

Total Alkalinity 80 120 Calcium Hardness 150 200 pH 7.2 7.6

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

Water Clarity

Sanitation

Sanitizers kill bacteria and other organic waste by breaking them down to

non-harmful levels and are ltered out. Before 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.

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.

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 an ozonator still need to use a chemical sanitizer. See page 27 for instructions on usage.

Using Chlorine as a Sanitizer

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

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 granulated chlorine 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 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 sodium bromide to establish your bromine base. Use tablets to maintain it.

When you begin with fresh water, add 2 ounces of granulated bromide. Open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed with the cover open for at least 30 minutes. This is your base bromine level as the tablets will take a while to dissolve.

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.

Water Clarity

Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. Only use an oxidizer shock. It can be used with either chlorine or bromine sanitizers.

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 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

Do not use shock with the Cal Clarity II bromine generator. See page 28 for instructions on its use.

Add one ounce of oxidizer shock once a week, after heavy bather loads, or if water has a strong odor.

Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.

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.

About the Pure XL Water Sanitizer

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. Have your service technician consult the manufacturer’s instruction and service manual. (UV water purier system is manufactured by Aqua Ultraviolet.)

Ozonator

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

Set the spa’s ltration time for “F4” (described on page 14 and page 17. This activates the ozonator and produces the ozone gas. Note: Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load.

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.

Water Clarity

Place the dirty lter into a bucket of water deep enough to cover the lter. Add 8 oz of liquid lter cleaner 2. 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

“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.

Recommendations 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.

Cal Clarity II Bromine Generator

The Cal Clarity II bromine generator automatically generates and releases free bromine into the spa water. You will still need to test for bromine and occasionally adjust it to return the bromine level to the baseline.

Do not use the Cal Clarity II bromine generator with a UV sanitation device.

Starting the Spa with Fresh Water

This applies to spa owners with the Cal Clarity II bromine generator ONLY.

Water Clarity

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.

Fill the spa to the proper 1. water level with normal tap water. (Do not use soft water.) See page 9 for

lling instructions.

Turn on the spa and allow it 2. to prime. See page 11 for

priming instructions.

Cal Clarity II Settings

Before entering the spa, the bromine level should be tested. The bromine generator can only produce bromine when:

the spa is running,• Bromicharge™ has been added, and• the bromine generator is in the proper mode. •

1. ON / Maintenance Mode

Press the Boost button briey while the jets are running. The system will activate in Maintenance Mode and the word ON will appear on the display.

2. Adjusting the Maintenance Mode

To adjust the Maintenance Mode bromine level, press and hold the Prog button for two seconds. A

number will ash showing the Maintenance Mode

bromine level. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to raise or lower it. After seven seconds, the

number will stop ashing, meaning the bromine

level is active. Press the Boost button to return Maintenance Mode.

Operating Modes

Maintenance Mode

Maintenance Mode is the “everyday” mode and is automatically on when the system is activated. Its primary function is to keep the bromine level at a stable and acceptable range when the spa is not being used.

Boost Mode

Use the Boost Mode each time you use the spa. Boost Mode increases the bromine generation rate to attack pollutants in the water. Activating the Boost Mode when you enter the spa will prevent inadequate bromine levels and will regenerate your bromine to the proper residual level.

Diagnostic Mode

The Diagnostic Mode indicates the Bromicharge™ salt level of your spa. This is a useful tool when adding BromiCharge™ to the water. Keep the TDS level indicators in the green zone and value between 11 and 14 for optimal performance.

Water Clarity

3. Boost Mode

The Boost Mode is used each time you use the spa. Press the Boost button once to activate the Boost Mode. A number with a dash before and after it

will ash for about ve seconds showing the boost

level. This number corresponds to the number of

bathers. While the number is ashing, press the

UP or DOWN buttons to raise or lower it. When

the number stops ashing, the system will remain

in Boost Mode.

4. Using the Diagnostic Mode Press and hold the Prog button for two seconds.

When the ashing number appears, press the Prog button a second time. An animation will appear, and within 10 seconds the TDS level will be shown.

5. Turning OFF

Press and hold the Boost button for two seconds. The system will shut off and the word OFF will appear on the display.

Adding BromiCharge™ to the Water

BromiCharge™ is the chemical additive used with the Cal Clarity II. It can be added anywhere in the spa by simply pouring it from the container. Do not breathe or get into your eyes.

Testing the Water

In addition to testing the water for levels of calcium, alkalinity, and pH, you also need to test for bromine and total dissolved solids (TDS).

See page 24 for instructions on testing the water and for Ideal Water Chemistry levels.

The bromine level should be maintained between 3-5 ppm and can be tested with a DPD test kit, or bromine test strips, found at any spa/pool store.

If the bromine generator does not produce enough bromine, make sure the recommended level of 1440 ppm of Bromicharge™ salt is still present in the spa water. The bromine generator can test the water using the Diagnostic mode. This is described on the next page.

If the bromine level is too high, remove a small amount of spa water until the bromine level is between 3-5 ppm. For more immediate results, dilution with fresh water will lower the bromine level.

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 “Water Clarity” 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, 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

tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters the spa.

NOTE: All manifolds are plumbed in series directly to the main drain (see example at right), making it easier to remove water and reducing the possibility of freeze damage.

Continuous water ow and drainage

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 13 or page 14 for changing modes.) Following the water quality instructions starting on 2. page 21, 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 a vinyl and leather cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Use a product that

is specically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage

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 an all-purpose

cleaner and apply a coat of surface protectant.

Use a low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner specically formulated to clean the spa without damaging

its acrylic nish.

Use a non-oil based surface protectant that is specically formulated to protect the spa’s nish from

the chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Jet Removal and Replacement

Rotate the jet face counterclockwise until you feel some resistance. Continue to rotate the jet for another quarter turn. You will feel the jet snap out of position. Continue to rotate

the jet as you pull it out of the jet well.

To replace jets, insert the jet in the jet well and push and rotate it clockwise until you feel it snap into position. When the jet face can be rotated freely, it is properly seated.
