Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

1

Read This First!

DANGER -- Risk of accidental drowning:

Do not allow children to be in or around a spa
unless a responsible adult supervises them. Keep
the spa cover on and locked when not in use. See
instructions enclosed with your cover for locking
procedures.

DANGER -- Risk of injury:

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

WARNING -- To reduce the risk of injury:

The spa water should never exceed 40°C (104°F).
Water temperatures between 38°C and 40°C (100°F
and 104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for
young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

High water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who
are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should
always check with their physician prior to spa usage.

DANGER -- Risk of electric shock:

Install the spa at least 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.

Do not permit any external electrical appliances,
such as lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and

etc., within ve feet of the spa. Never attempt to

operate any electrical device from inside the spa.

Replace a damaged power cord immediately.

Do not bury the power cord.

Connect to a grounded, grounding-type receptacle
only.

The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or
during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with
the possibility of drowning.

Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of
heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a
physician before using the spa.

Persons using medications should consult a physician
before using the spa since some medications may
induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate,
blood pressure and circulation.

HYPERTHERMIA DANGER:

Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level 2°C to 4°C
(1°C to 2°C) above the normal body temperature of
37°C (98.6°F). While hyperthermia has many health

benets, it is important not to allow your body’s core

temperature to rise above 39.5°C (103°F).

Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include
dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The
effects of excessive hyperthermia may include:

2017 Portable Spa

LTR20171001, Rev. B

• 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.

WARNING: People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.

WARNING: To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.

WARNING: Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness

and possible drowning.

Read This First!

WARNING: Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.

WARNING: Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.

CAUTION: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Pre-Delivery Checklist

3

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 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 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.

For additional operating and installation information,
please see your selling dealer.

Before Delivery

Plan your delivery route

Choose a suitable location for the spa

Lay a 5 - 8 cm concrete slab

Install dedicated electrical supply

After Delivery

Place spa on slab

Connect electrical components

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

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.

2017 Portable Spa

LTR20171001, Rev. B

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

Preparing for Your New 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 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 10 cm concrete slab.
Pavers, gravel, brick, sand, timbers or dirt foundations
are not adequate to support the spa.

We strongly recommended that you have a qualied,

licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your
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 732
kg / m2 (150 lbs / ft2).

To properly identify the weight of your new spa
when full, remember water weighs 1 kg per liter. For
example, an average 2.4 meter (8 foot) spa holds
approximately 1892 liters of water. Using this formula,

you will nd that the weight of the water alone is

1892 kg. Combined with the dry weight of the spa
you will note that this spa will weigh approximately
2267 kg when full of water.

230V / 50 Hz Electrical Installation

5

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

All 230V spas must be permanently connected
(hard wired) to the power supply. These instructions
describe the only acceptable electrical wiring
procedure. Spas wired in any other way will void your
warranty and may result in serious injury.

This is the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure.
Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty.
See the wiring requirements below and wiring
diagrams on page 6 through page 11.

The electrical wiring of this spa must meet the
requirements of any applicable local, state, and
federal codes. The electrical circuit must be installed
by an electrical contractor and approved by a local
building / electrical inspector.

The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated

RCD and Wiring Requirements

Note: SINGLE PHASE ONLY!

Three phase power requires 400V.
Only use 230V.

START

HERE

RCD protected circuit with no other appliances or
lights sharing the power.

Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use
aluminum wire.

Use the tables below to determine your RCD and
wiring requirements.

When wires larger than #6 AWG are required, install
a junction box near the spa and use #6 AWG wire
between the junction box and the spa.

Wires that run over 25 meters must increase wire
gauge to the next lower number. For example: A
normal 50 amp RCD with three #8 AWG copper wires
that run over 25 meters would require you to go to
three #6 AWG copper wires.

Use this table to determine your

wiring conguration.

Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

1. Inspect the spa equipment.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Inspect all plumbing connections in the
equipment area of your spa.

2. Remove the cartridge from lter canister.

If you have a skimmer like this:

Grip the lter by the handle and unscrew it from

the canister.

• Make sure unions in the equipment pack are tight. (Be
careful not to over-tighten the plumbing ttings.)

• If your spa has

gate valves, make
sure they are all
in the UP or OPEN
position.

• Make sure the drain
valve is closed and
capped. (See page
42 for a description
of drain valves.)

Never run the spa with the gate valves closed or
without water circulating for long periods of time.

If you have a skimmer like this:

Rotate and remove the black locking ring. Remove

the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip the lter

by the handle and unscrew it from the canister.
Replace and lock the locking ring and slide the
skimmer cap and barrel back in the canister.

If you have a skimmer like this:

Remove the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip

the lter by the handle and unscrew it from the

canister.

Teleweir Mega

lter skimmer

• 75 square
feet ltration

• Smooth cap

Note: The skimmer cap and barrel were locked
in place at the factory to prevent damage during
shipment. It must be unlocked and replaced in

the lter canister so that it can oat when the spa
is lled. If you do not remove the cap and barrel,
your spa’s ltration system will not perform as it was

designed to.

Teleweir lter

skimmer

• 50 square feet
ltration

• Spoked cap

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.

www.calspas.com

2017 Portable Spa

LTR20171001, Rev. B

3. Fill the spa.

13

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

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

spa.

Always ll the spa through the lter canister.

Fill the spa until water level is about six inches from the top.

If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will not operate properly.

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.

Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the

ltration system and prevent the pumps from operating

properly.

4. Turn on power to the spa.

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.)

2017 Portable Spa

5. Prime the pump.

Your spa will perform a self-diagnostic check and go into
Priming Mode. The control panel will display either RUN
PUMPS PURG AIR --- or Priming Mode, depending on
which control panel you have.

Do the following:

Press the JETS or JETS 1 button once to start the pump in
low speed.

a. Press it again to switch the pump to high speed.

b. If you have other pumps, press JETS 2 or JETS 3

to turn them on also. Running the pumps helps the
pumps prime.

After two minutes, the pump should prime. If it does not, follow the priming instructions on the next page. If it
does, continue with the next step.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

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

Make sure the lter has soaked at least 30

minutes before you install it.

7. Adjust water chemistry.

Test and adjust the water chemistry. See the section
on page 40. for instructions on keeping your water
clear.

Spa owners with the bromine generator need to
follow the instructions on page 38.

8. Let the spa heat up.

When the spa has nished priming, the heater will

activate. Put the cover on and let the spa heat to the
set temperature.

Priming the Pump

15

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

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.

The pump will not work properly while
air is trapped in it. Continuing to operate
the pump in this way will cause damage.

Starting Up: Priming Mode

After the initial start-up
sequence, the spa will enter
Priming Mode, which lasts 4
to 5 minutes. Depending on
your control panel, one of the messages shown at right will
appear.

As soon as the Priming Mode screen appears on the panel,
press the Jets or Jets 1 button once to start Pump 1 in low
speed and then again to switch to high speed. Also, select
the other pumps, to turn them on. The pumps should be
running in high speed to facilitate priming.

Exit Jets 1 Jets 2 Jets 3 Circ

If the pumps have not primed after two minutes, and water

is not owing from the jets in the spa, do not allow the

pumps to continue to run. Turn off the pumps and repeat
the process. Note: Turning the power off and back on again
will initiate a new pump priming session.

Sometimes momentarily turning the pump off and on will

help it to prime. Do not do this more than ve times. If the pumps will not prime, shut off the power to the

spa and call for service.

Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than two minutes. Under NO
circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4 to 5 minute priming
mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into
an overheat condition.

Priming Mode

Exiting Priming Mode

You can manually exit Priming Mode by pressing an Up or Down button. Note that if you do not manually
exit the priming mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically terminated after 4 to 5
minutes. Be sure that the pumps have been primed by this time.

Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will momentarily display the set temperature
but the display will not show the temperature yet. This is because the system requires approximately one

minute of water owing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it.

16

Bleeding Air from the Pump

If you have tried priming the pump several
times unsuccessfully using the control panel,
you can bleed the air from the pump manually.

1. Shut off the power to the spa.

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

3. Close the gate valve on the discharge side
of the pump (if your spa is installed with
one.)

4. Turn the bleeder valve counter clockwise
with a small pair of pliers until the air has
been released from the pump.

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

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

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

What is the difference between a 24-hour
circulation pump and a two-speed pump?

Circulation Pump - A 24-hour circulation pump

is an optional, dedicated low power pump just

for ltration. A circulation pump will reduce wear

and tear on main pump and can cost less to run

than using pump 1 for ltration. When a spa has

a circulation pump, pump 1 will have only one
speed.

Although it can be set to run continuously, some

spa owners prefer to reduce their ltration times

in order to lower their energy cost. See “Adjusting
Filtration” on page 22.

Two-Speed Pump - Spas without a circulation
pump use the low speed setting of pump 1 as a
circulation pump. Pump 1 will have two speeds,
low speed and high speed. Low speed is used for

ltration, and high speed is used for operating

the jets.

being a “ready to use” setting versus a “vacation” setting. (See “Vacation Setting”
below.) Each range maintains its own set temperature that you program according
to your needs. This way, when a range is chosen, the spa will heat to the set
temperature programmed to that range.

High Range can be set between 26.5°C and 40°C (80°F and 104°F).

READY Mode: In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water
through the heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the
“heater pump.”

The heater pump can be either a 2-Speed Pump 1 or a circulation pump. If the
heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, READY Mode will circulate water every 1/2
hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature,

heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display.
This is known as “polling.”

This menu feature is for system information only and is used mainly for repair and troubleshooting.

Other Spa Systems

Several spa functions operate in the background and require no action or maintenance from you. This is for
your information only.

Pumps

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 pump will turn off after
a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will time
out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will time out
after 15 minutes.

On non-circ systems, the low-speed of pump 1 runs
when the blower or any other pump is on. If the spa
is in Ready Mode, Pump 1 low may also activate for
at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa
temperature (polling) and then to heat to the set
temperature if needed. When the low-speed turns
on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the

panel, however the high speed may be started.

Circulation Pump

The circulation pump will come on when the system

is checking temperature (polling), during lter cycles,

during freeze conditions, or when another pump is
on.

The ozonator will run with the circulation pump

during ltration cycles.

Purge Cycles

In order to maintain sanitary conditions, secondary
Pumps and/or a Blower will purge water from

their respective plumbing by running briey at the
beginning of each lter cycle.

RUN PMPS PURG AIR Priming Mode

Each time the spa is powered up, it will
enter Priming Mode. The purpose of
Priming Mode is to allow the user to run
each pump and manually verify that the
pumps are primed (air is purged) and

water is owing. This typically requires

observing the output of each pump
separately, and is generally not possible
in normal operation.

Setting Dual Temperature Ranges

This system incorporates two temperature range settings with independent

set temperatures. The specific range can be selected on the Settings screen

and is visible on the Main Screen in the upper right corner of the display.

These ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common use being
a “ready to use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting. Each range maintains its
own set temperature as programmed by the user. This way, when a range is
chosen, the spa will heat to the set temperature associated with that range.

High Range can be set between 26.5°C and 40°C (80°F and 104°F). Low

Operating Your Spa

Range can be set between 10°C and 37°C (50°F and 99°F). More specific Temp Ranges may be determined

by the Manufacturer. Freeze Protection is active in either range.

Selecting Heat Modes – Ready vs. Rest

In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the
heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “heater pump.”

The heater pump can be either a 2-speed pump (Pump 1) or a circulation
pump. If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode will circulate
water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant
water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display.
This is known as “polling.”

Rest Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Since

polling does not occur, the temperature display may not show a current temperature until the heater pump
has been running for a minute or two. While Pump 1 High can be turned on and off, Pump 1 Low will run until
set temperature is reached, or 1 hour has passed.

Cal Spas Hot Tub Wi-Fi App

The Cal Spas Hot Tub Wi-Fi app can provide you with instant access and control of your spa wherever you
connect within the spa’s Wi-Fi range. This optional feature is available for use with any smart device (Android™
or iOS™ systems only). You must have the Wi-Fi module installed in your spa in order to use the app. It is only
available for spas with the BP501 or BP2000 control box.

Spa owners who do not have this feature installed on their spa at the factory can order it as an after-market
item.

Installing the app

Go to the Apple app store or Google Play and search for the free spa app using the key words
“Cal Spas Hot Tub.” Select the app. The icon for the app will appear on your device as shown
at left.

Make sure you enable Wi-Fi on your phone before you run the app.

On the Wi-Fi connections screen on your device, a network will appear called “BWGSpa_
xxxxxx_”. (The x’s represent the Wi-Fi module’s local address and is unique for every spa.) Once you are
connected to the network, start the Cal Spas app and follow the prompts on the screen. (Your start screen
maybe different.)

31

Operating Your Spa

1. Tap the app button on the main screen of your device.

2. Connect to the spa’s Wi-Fi signal.

3. When connected, you will be

taken to the main app screen.

4. You are now directly connected to

your hot tub and can control all
the hot tub functions via the app.

Troubleshooting connection problems

You should have few problems connecting with the Wi-Fi app. However, if you are unable to connect quickly
and easily to the spa’s Wi-Fi source, try doing the following.

• Enable Wi-Fi on your device. This is the most likely reason you may not be able to connect to the app.

Check your devices Wi-Fi settings and try connecting again.

• Power cycle the spa. Shut off power to the spa for 30 second and turn it back on. Wait until the spa has

gone through its complete set-up routine before you try to connect with the Wi-Fi app.

• Wait until the spa has completely primed. When you turn on the spa, it will go through a priming routine,

which is followed by temperature polling, where no temperature is shown on the control panel. As soon
as a temperature appears, you can connect with the Wi-Fi app.

• If you use your home network router, it MUST be close enough to the spa in order for the spa’s Wi-Fi

signal to reach the router. If you have connectivity problems, you may need to relocate your router closer
to your spa or consider adding a wireless signal booster to your router.

Operating Your Spa

Electrical Power Efciency Adjustable Jets

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 3°C (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

5.5°C (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.

Almost all of the jets in your spa are adjustable.
Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the left
(counter-clockwise) will decrease the amount of

water ow through the jet. Rotating the face of an

adjustable jet to the right (clockwise) will increase

the amount of water ow through the jet. (See

example shown below.)

Neck jets adjust in the opposite directions (counter­clockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease).

LED 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 LEDs operate in three modes:

1. Cycle: When you continually press the LIGHT
button, the LEDs will cycle through the three main
LED colors (Red, Green, and Blue) or combinations
of the three that produce the following colors:
light green, purple, light blue, yellow, etc.

Each time you press the button, you immediately
advance to the next color in sequence or eventually
a different light pattern.

www.calspas.com

2. Flashing: When you are cycling through all the
colors, the next time you push the LIGHT button,

the LED lights may start ashing. This is another

normal operational pattern option.

3. Fading cycle: The next phase of operation when
you push the LIGHT button is a slow and/or fast
fade random transition from one color to the next.

Spas with exterior corner LED lighting generally work
in the same mode as described above. The variations
in color and patterns provide you with multiple options
to suit almost any lighting preference.

Diverter Knobs

Diverter knobs are the larger 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, rotate the dial on top (for
the cascade waterfall) or turn the knob (for the hydro
streamer -- see below).

35

Operating Your Spa

Air Venturis

Air venturis are the smaller 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 (counter-

clockwise) 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 streamer
sprays the bottom of the
cover, it will collect and
run to the edge of the spa
and drip over the top.

Pure Cure™ Water Sanitizer

The Pure Cure™ water sanitizer is an optional water purication system installed at the factory. It eradicates

germs in the water that are resistant to chlorine-based chemicals using high intensity UV light. Although the water
sanitizer works automatically with your spa, you will still need to test for chlorine or bromine and occasionally
replenish it to return the sanitizer level to the baseline.

For spas without a circulation pump, pump 1 will run at low speed and the water sanitizer will run during

ltration.

For spas with a circulation pump, the water sanitizer will run with the circulation pump.

The spa’s control system is factory-programmed with one lter cycle that will run in the evening when energy
rates are often lower. The time and duration of the lter cycle can be set according to your needs. In addition,
a second lter cycle can be enabled. Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load.

See instructions for setting ltration cycles on page 22 or page 29.

The water sanitizer is virtually maintenance-free. Once a year the UV light needs to be replaced. See page
46 for instructions. However, the water sanitizer 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.

Operating Your Spa

Bromine Generator

The 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.

Start-up/Operating Instructions

Be certain that you start with a clean spa. It should
be free of contaminants and other residues that can
accumulate on the sides and/or around the jets. It
is also important to only use spa cleaning products
that have no phosphates or phosphonic acids since
phosphates will deplete free bromine and are super­food for algae. Always start your spa with a clean

lter before lling with water.

If the water source is “well water” or a non-municipal
water source, have your water tested for Total Dissolved
Solids (TDS) and metals. Water with high TDS is likely
to have higher metal content and will need a metal
remover to decrease the metals and ensure a successful
start. This test can be done by your local spa dealer. The
ideal range for your start-up TDS is between 50 and
200 ppm - mg/L. If TDS from your source water is above
500 ppm, a metal remover is strongly recommended.

DO NOT FILL THE SPA WITH SOFT WATER.

Use the phosphate test kit included with your system.

Bromide residuals will be signicantly reduced if

phosphate levels are high. If phosphates are detected,
purchase a phosphate remover and follow the
directions accordingly. Any phosphates in your spa
will reduce bromine levels.

3. Determine the level of “NaBr” (Sodium Bromide)
required for your spa size. NaBr should be added at
a rate of 1.2 lbs per 100 gallons or approximately
1300-1500 ppm.

Example: For a 500 gallon spa add
approximately 6 lbs of NaBr. 1.2 lbs x (5) 500
gallons = 6lbs NaBr.

1. Using your PURE FILL Spa Pre-Filter, ll your

spa with water to the recommended level (six
inches below the lip of the spa) and DO NOT FILL
WITH WATER FROM A “RESIDENTIAL WATER
SOFTENER.”

2. Before starting the system, balance your water
chemistry to ensure a successful start up. Ideal
ranges are as follows:

Ideal Range

Minimum Maximum

pH 7.2 7.6

Total alkalinity 80 ppm 120 ppm

Calcium hardness 150 ppm 250 ppm

Phosphates 0 ppb 30 ppb

4. Turn the jets on high speed. Sprinkle the NaBr
across the surface of the water to evenly distribute
the NaBr in the spa and circulate for 30 minutes.

5. Test the Sodium Bromide concentration with the
Tru-Blu NaBr test kit. The correct amount of NaBr
will secure a reading of between 1300-1500 ppm.

6. Adjust the ltration time to circulate for 8 hours
every 24 hours on a 2 speed pump.

7. For a spa between 300-500 gallons, start at a
power level of “6” and then press the “boost”
feature. This will accelerate the production of
bromine for 8 hours. Wait for proper bromine
levels before entering the spa.

8. Always keep your bromine level between 3-5ppm.
Test the bromine level after 24 hours and adjust the
power setting accordingly. An occasional heavier
bather load may require the “boost” feature.
Always keep your spa or hot tub water in balance.

Maintaining the Bromine Level

Maintaining the pH and the alkalinity is part of being
a spa owner. The bromine generator requires you
to determine your power setting based upon your
circulation time and your spa usage. It requires a
minimum of eight hours of circulation per day. If the
spa is not circulating, the bromine generator is not

generating bromine. If you nd that you are having

trouble maintaining the desired level, make sure the
spa is circulating the required amount.

A spa that is frequently used will require a higher
power setting. If you have a bromine reading that is too
high or too low, adjust the DECREASE / INCREASE
control accordingly. Depending on the amount usage,
circulation time, and type of spa, each spa owner’s
setting will be different.

The bromine generator can go up to 12 months before

a drain and ll is required, unlike non-equipped spas

that require it every three months. This is because the
bromine generator does not add unwanted chemical
by-products like traditional chemicals do.

Sodium bromide is not the only contributor to the
TDS count in your water. Over time, the TDS count
in your water will rise (from such things as residuals

from other chemicals and minerals, and unlterable

material). Test the TDS every few months to make
certain it stays within range.

Shower prior to entering any hot tub or spa. This will
help prevent phosphate contamination and reduce the
demand on the bromine.

Shocking your tub is recommended after heavy bather
load.

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.

1. Remove the lter baskets and lters.

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

3. Vacuum water from the spa’s main drain and from the jets with a wet/dry vacuum.

4. Open the bleeder valves on the pumps.

5. Disconnect the unions from both sides of all pumps.

6. Blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment area with the wet/dry vacuum.

7. When the spa has completely nished draining, close the bleeder valves and re-connect the unions on all

pumps. Replace the lters and lter baskets.

Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters the spa.

43

Cleaning and Maintenance

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.

1. Select the Low Range temp choice used for vacation mode. (See instructions on page 19 or page 28 for
vacation setting.)

2. Adjust the pH.

3. Shock the water (add either chlorine or bromine sanitizer).

4. When you return, check and adjust the pH and shock the water.

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.

Spa Cover

Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!

• Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining your set temperature.

• Covering your spa will protect your spa’s nish from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

• You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage.

• Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa.

See the manual enclosed with your cover for instructions on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock
the cover.

In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety
precaution and to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it, nor should you place
objects of any kind on top of it.

Cleaning and Maintenance

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.

It is extremely important that you never run the spa without a lter. There is a possibility that
debris may be sucked into the plumbing through the lter well.

Set the spa in Hold Mode before you remove the lter. Hold Mode pauses all spa operations for
60 minutes for service functions like cleaning or replacing the lter. See page 21 or page 29 for

instructions on using Hold Mode.

Cleaning the lter

1. Remove the lter by unscrewing it and pulling it up and out.

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

3. Soak the lter for a minimum of 24 hours.

4. Spray the lter with a water hose. Spray each pleat carefully.

5. Reinstall the lter. Do not overtighten.

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.

Heat problems

Appendix

Symptom Possible Solutions

Spa water does not get hot Spa may be in low temperature range. Set the spa to high temperature range.

The lter may be dirty or may need to be replaced. Clean or replace the lter.

The water level may be too low. Fill the spa with water level at 4 to 6 inches
from the top.

The temperature is not turned up high enough. Raise temperature on topside
control.

Cover the spa. The cover will keep heat in the spa and help keep heat from
escaping. Make sure cover is on at all times when spa is not in use.

The heater element may be old, deteriorated, coated with scale, or defective.
Contact your dealer for more assistance.

The gate valves may be partially or completely closed. NEVER OPERATE YOUR
SPA WITH THE GATE VALVES CLOSED!

Spa overheats - temperature
greater than 110°F / 43°C

Overheating can occur during summer months and may not necessarily
indicate a malfunction. When it occurs, a message code may also appear on

Genuine Cal Spas Parts & Accessories

This Limited Warranty is void if Cal Spas (the “Manufacturer”) or its designated representative determines that
the spa has been subjected to damage or failure due to installation of aftermarket parts that are not genuine

Cal Spas branded parts and accessories. This disclaimer includes, but is not limited to lters, UV bulbs, ozone

systems, salt systems, repair parts and other accessories. Genuine Cal Spas brand parts and accessories are
built to our highest standards of quality, durability and performance, and they are designed to work with your

This warranty begins on the date of delivery of the spa, but in no event later than one year from the date of
manufacture. To obtain service in the event of a defect covered by this Limited Warranty, notify your Cal Spa
dealer or Cal Spas as soon as possible and use all reasonable means to protect the spa from further damage.

although providing access to affect the repair is your responsibility as the spa owner. Freight charges for
replacement parts is the responsibility of the spa owner. You may be assessed reasonable repairman travel
mileage charges. In the event that the spa is removed to a repair facility for repair and reinstalled, the cost
of removal and reinstallation will be your responsibility as the spa owner. If the Manufacturer determines that
repair of the covered defect is not feasible, it reserves the right to provide a replacement spa instead, equal in
value to the purchase price of the original spa. In such an event, reasonable costs for removal of the original
spa, shipping costs from the factory for the replacement spa and delivery and installation of the replacement
will be your responsibility as the spa owner. The replacement spa will carry the balance of the original spa’s

warranty. Spa covers are not included. This warranty ends either by specied time frame, owner-transfer,

relocation, or installation of any component other than by manufacturer.

Warranty Limitations

This Limited Warranty is void if Cal Spas or its designated representative determines that the spa has been
subjected to alteration, neglect, misuse or abuse, or freight damage caused by the common carrier; any repairs
have been attempted by anyone other than a designated representative; or if the failure is caused by accident,
acts of God or other causes beyond the control of the Manufacturer. Neglect, misuse and abuse include any
installation, operation or maintenance of the spa other than in accordance with the instructions contained in the
owner’s manual provided with the spa, including but not limited to the failure to maintain proper water chemistry
and chemical balance and the use of abrasive or improper cleaners or non-genuine parts and accessories. This
Limited Warranty does not provide coverage for any item attached to or installed on the spa after the date of
manufacture or for gaining access to any component for repair or replacement. Spa units in commercial use are
excluded from any coverage whatsoever. The spa owner accepts liability for repair work performed by anyone
other than the Manufacturer or a designated Cal Spa representative.

Appendix

Limitations

The Manufacturer disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, in fact or in law, to the extent allowed by your

State’s Law, including the warranty of merchantability and tness for use, except as stated specically herein.

All warranty service must be performed by the Manufacturer or its designated representative using authorized
Cal Spa parts. No agent, dealer, distributor, service company or other party is authorized to change, modify or
extend the terms of this limited warranty in any manner whatsoever. The Manufacturer will not be responsible
for any statements or representations made in any form that go beyond, are broader than, or are inconsistent

with any authorized literature or specications furnished by Cal Spas.

Disclaimers

The Manufacturer and its representatives shall not be liable for any injury, loss, cost or other damage, whether
incidental or consequential, arising out of any defect covered by this limited warranty, including without
limitation, loss of use of the spa and cost for removal of defective product even if the Manufacturer was advised
of the possibility of damage. The liability of the Manufacturer under this limited warranty, if any, shall not exceed
the original amount paid for the defective product. Coverage under this limited warranty shall commence as
of the original date of delivery and the duration of such coverage shall not extend for any reason whatsoever
beyond the stated time periods. These disclaimers shall be equally applicable to any service provided by the
Manufacturer and its designated representatives.

Legal Rights

This Limited Warranty gives you specic legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to

state. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not
apply to you.
