When installing and using this electrical equipment,

always follow basic safety precautions. Following

these instructions will help make your rst spa session

a pleasurable one.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

A licensed electrician may be required to upgrade your

standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.

DANGER -- RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING:

Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless

a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa

cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions

enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.

DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: The suction ttings

in this spa are sized to match the 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.

DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the

spa if the suction tting or lter baskets are broken

or missing.

DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never replace a

suction tting with one that is rated less than the ow

rate marked on the original suction tting.

DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Install the

spa at least 1.5 meters from all metal surfaces. As an

alternative, a spa may be installed within 1.5 meters

of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently

bonded by a minimum #8 AWG solid copper conductor

to the outside of the spa’s control box.

DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Do not

permit any external electrical appliances, such as

lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within

1.5 meters of the spa. Never attempt to operate any

electrical device from inside the spa. This does not

apply to lights, stereos and televisions that are built in

to the spa as factory options from Cal Spas™.

WARNING – RISK OF INJURY

The spa water should never exceed 40˚C. Water

temperatures between 38˚C and 40˚C are considered

safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are

recommended for young children and when spa use

exceeds 10 minutes.

High water temperatures have a high potential for

causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who

are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should

always check with their physician prior to spa usage.

The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or

during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with

the possibility of drowning.

Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of

heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory

system problems or diabetes should consult a

physician before using the spa.

Persons using medications should consult a physician

before using the spa since some medications may

induce drowsiness while others may affect heart

rate, blood pressure and circulation.

Hyperthermia Danger

Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce

hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the

internal temperature of the body reaches a level 2˚C

to 4˚C above the normal body temperature of 37˚C.

While hyperthermia has many health benets, it is

important not to allow your body’s core temperature

to rise above 39.5˚C. Symptoms of excessive

hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness

and fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia

may include:

Failure to perceive heat•

Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot • tub

Unawareness of impending hazard•

Fetal damage in pregnant women•

Physical inability to exit the spa•

Unconsciousness•

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication

can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

Basic Spa Information

The following operating and maintenance instructions

are very important and must be followed carefully.

With the proper care and maintenance, your Cal

Spa will provide you with years of satisfaction and

performance.

Do not be afraid to push buttons or turn knobs to

learn about your new Cal Spa, as it is built with

quality materials and excellent craftsmanship.

Your new Cal Spa has been engineered with a high-

powered water pump that pushes water through

various therapy jets, which will relax even the

tightest muscles. In addition to the water pressure,

you can add air into the spa water with air venturi

handles located seat-side that increase the intensity of

your massage.

The ltering of this spa is very important. It will

minimize cleaning time and the amount of chemicals

needed to keep your spa water balanced. The two daily

pre-programmed lter cycles of two hours in duration

can be increased to six hour cycles if the need arises.

This can be accomplished through the topside control

panel.

IMPORTANT: Keep the spa covered when not in

use!

Covered spas use less electricity while maintaining • a set temperature.

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

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

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

Your new Cal 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 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

6˚C below the desired usage temperature and

reheating it prior to usage will cause the heater to

operate longer than it normally would maintaining

the desired temperature. Doing this will increase your

operating cost and makes your heater work more than

necessary.

The lter needs to be cleaned or changed on a regular

basis. This process takes only a few minutes and

the result is increased water clarity and equipment

longevity.

Water level is very important to the operation of your

spa. If the water level is too low or too high, your spa

will not operate properly. The water level should be to

the middle of the skimmer area when the spa is not

being used.

We recommend that your spa water be changed every

4 to 6 months. You may nd the need to change your

spa water more frequently with heavy use. When

empty, your spa should be cleaned with a non-abrasive

cleaner, such as Cal Spas™ All Surface Cleaner, and

then rinsed thoroughly.

See the section “Cleaning and Maintaining Your Spa”

for instructions on draining your spa.

When lling your spa, always ll through the skimmer

lter canister. Use only regular tap water.

WARNING: DO NOT USE SOFT WATER.

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 Cal Spa™.

Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into

your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa’s entrance

where the bather’s can clean their feet before entering

your spa. You may also consider keeping a small water-

lled basin nearby for bathers to rinse their feet before

enter your spa.

Allow For Service Access

Make sure the spa is positioned so that access to the

equipment compartment and all side panels will not

be blocked.

Many people choose to install a decorative structure

around their spa. If you are installing your spa with

any type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo,

remember to allow access for service. It is always best

to design special installations so that the spa can still

be moved, or lifted off the ground.

Preparing a Good Foundation

Your spa needs a solid and level foundation. The area

that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the

spa and the occupants who use it. If the foundation

is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the spa is in

place, causing stress that could damage your spa shell

or nish.

Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation

support is not covered by the warranty. It is the

responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper

foundation for the spa. We strongly recommended

that you have a qualied, licensed contractor prepare

the foundation for your spa.

Place the spa on a level foundation (preferably a 10

cm concrete slab). If you are installing the spa indoors,

pay close attention to the ooring beneath it. Choose

ooring that will not be damaged or stained.

If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood

deck or other structure, consult a structural engineer

or a contractor to ensure the structure will support the

weight of 68 kg per square foot.

Your Cal Spas™ retailer can help you with your

foundation and more. Your retailer has a wealth of

information and experience about how to get the most

out of your spa and can provide you with a full line of

accessories that are designed to compliment your spa

and increase your enjoyment.

Planning the Best Location

Here are some of the things that you will need to

consider when determining where to place your new

spa.

Safety First

Do not place your spa within 3 meters 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’ll 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.

230 Volt Electrical Installation

All 230V spas must be permanently connected

(hardwired) to the power supply. These instructions

describe the only acceptable electrical wiring

procedure. Spas wired in any other way will void your

warranty and may result in serious injury.

This is the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure.

Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty.

See the wiring diagram on page 8.

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.

RCD and Wiring Requirements

The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated

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 table below to determine your GFCI 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.

Wire runs over 26 m must increase wire gauge to the

next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp

RCD with four #8 AWG copper wires run over 26

m would require you to go to four #6 AWG copper

wires.

Testing the RCD Breaker

Test the RCD breaker prior to rst use and periodically

when the spa is powered. To test the RCD breaker

follow these instructions (spa should be operating):

Press the TEST button on the RCD. The RCD will 1. trip and the spa will shut off.

Reset the RCD breaker by switching the breaker 2. to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn

the breaker back on. The spa should have power

again.

Gas Heater Hook-up

Ultimate Fitness Series spa owners may buy and install a separate gas heater and pump for use with their spa.

This option may be purchased separately from your local distributor.

Spa owners are responsible for ensuring installation of their gas heater conforms to local, state, and federal

regulations. The electrical and gas installation must be performed by contractors and approved by a local

building / electrical inspector. Failure to do so may void your warranty.

All Ultimate Fitness Series spas are plumbed with a gas heater ready union located inside the cabinet at either

the front or rear, depending on the model. (See the gures below and on the next page.) Properly installed,

they can be attached to an external gas heater. Customers are responsible for creating openings in the panel

to accommodate the lines and wiring. The gas heater should be located not less than 3m and no more than

7.6m away from the spa.

To connect the plumbing for an external gas heater:

Disconnect the ready union.1.

Cut off both sides of the union and discard it.2.

Create two 6.35 cm diameter holes through the spa panel.3.

Use two 5 cm (2”) couplings to connect the hoses to 3m - 4.5m 5 cm (2-3/8”) diameter PVC lines.4.

Connect PVC lines to the gas heater. 5.

Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

Open the air relief valve (located next to the two 6. lters, if equipped) after the air bubbles stop

coming out of it. Close the valve hand-tight.

Once the water is at the correct level and air is 7. bled, turn on the power at the RCD breaker.

NOTE: When the power is turned on to the spa, it

will perform a diagnostic check for approximately ve

minutes. When the diagnostic is complete, the spa

will automatically operate at lter speed and continue

heating until the spa water temperature reaches the

default temperature of 37.5˚C.

If no water is owing when the pump is running 8. there could be an air pocket at the suction side of

the pump. Shut off power to the spa and loosen

the pump union on the suction side of the pump

to bleed the air. When air is bled, turn power

back on.

Re-install the lter and the lter basket into the 9. skimmer/lter canister.

The spa is now ready for use.

NOTE: 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.

Never ll your spa with soft water. Soft water makes it

impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and

may cause the water to foam, which will ultimately

harm the nish of the spa and void your warranty.

Once the spa has been placed on an approved 1. surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed

electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the

equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these

connections are secure and that they did not

loosen during shipment.

If equipped, open all gate valves in the equipment 2. area. Before operating the spa, these valves must

be in the UP or OPEN position.

Remove the lter basket and cartridge from 3. skimmer/lter canister.

Place a garden hose in the skimmer/lter canister 4. and ll your spa with regular tap water to the

proper water level (halfway up the skimmer

area).

(For owners of the automatic bromine generator) 5. Make sure the dial on the face of the bromine

generator unit is turned to the OFF position.

Circulation Pump (optional)

If your system is equipped with a circulation pump,

it may be congured to work in one of two different

ways:

The circulation pump operates continuously (24 1. hours) with the exception of turning off for 30

minutes at a time when the water temperature

reaches 1.7˚C above the set temperature (most

likely to happen in very hot climates).

The circulation pump will come on when the 2. 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

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 (optional)

On most systems, the ozone generator (if installed)

runs during lter cycles (except when pump 1 is

operating at high speed on a non-circulation 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 6.7˚C

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 7.2˚C 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.

Cal Spas Clear Water Plan

Great spa water is easily achieved when the right

chemicals and / or systems are used and the Cal Spas

“Clear Water Plan” is implemented. The key to clean,

clear, and safe water is to fully understand how spa

water reacts to users, system operation and chemical

use. The “Clear Water Plan” will help give you that

understanding.

The rst thing to understand about taking care of your

spa water is that preventive actions are much easier

to do than correcting water quality issues. For this

reason, we offer the “Clear Water Plan” as a simple,

easy to follow guide to clean, safe spa water.

Follow the Right Plan

You will need to decide which chemical plan or

alternative sanitation option works best for your

spa water. Consult your Cal Spas dealer for the right

decision with regards to your lifestyle and spa usage.

Whichever plan you decide on, follow it completely

and don’t take shortcuts. These plans will provide you

with clean, safe, clear spa water with a minimum of

effort.

Traditional Chemical Options

Choose from either Bromine tablets or Chlorinating

granules as your sanitizer of choice. Both work well

when the appropriate “Clear Water Plan” is followed.

Make sure you follow all instructions and use only Cal

Spas brand chemicals.

Alternative Sanitation

Options

Cal Zone Quest 2000 Ozonator

This system automatically generates ozone gas and

injects it into the spa water. Ozone gas is far superior

to chemical bromine or chlorine in sanitizing spa water.

Saves replacement chemical cost and guards against

forgetting to add chemicals.

Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine

Generator

This system automatically generates and releases

free bromine into the spa water. No more need to add

chemical bromine tablets or chlorine granules. Saves

replacement chemical cost and circumvents the need

to add chemicals on a regular basis.

Before You Begin

Before you begin a “Clear Water Plan”, you should

understand that chemicals or systems alone will

not take care of your spa water. Other factors such

as Filtration and Bather Load also play an important

part.

Filtration

The lter is the part of your spa that removes the

debris from the water. Even though Cal Spas uses

the advanced Bio Clean lter cartridge that protects

itself from bacterial growth, the lter still needs to

be cleaned on a regular basis to maximize your spa’s

ltering performance and heating 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 other contaminants

that get lodged deep within the lter bers and impede

the ltration process. Even if the lter looks clean, the

contaminants can clog the bers and prevent water

from owing through the lter resulting in the most

common spa problem—no heat, caused by a dirty

lter.

Filter Cleaning

Place the dirty lter into a bucket of water deep •

enough to cover the lter. Add 8 oz of Cal Spas

“Liquid Filter Cleaner” to the bucket of water.

Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare lter to be deep

cleaned while the regular lter is in the spa. This way,

you can rotate the lters and both will last longer.

Soak the lter for a minimum of 24 hours.•

Remove the lter and spray clean with a water • hose. Spray each pleat carefully.

Allow lter to dry completely (a minimum of 2 • days drying time is recommended).

Reinstall lter as described in the “Clear Water • Plan”.

Filtration Cycles

The ltration cycle of your spa is the process that

allows the water to ow through the lter. Your spa

will lter automatically twice each day. The factory set

default time for ltration is usually enough for normal

use, however heavy bather load or frequent use

may require longer ltration times or more frequent

ltration cycles to keep the spa water clean. Consult

your Owner’s Manual for setting your spa’s ltration

times.

Never mix chemicals together.•

Never change chemical brands or types without •

completely draining, ushing and thoroughly

cleaning the spa and cover rst.

Always protect your eyes while introducing • chemicals into the spa. Wear protective eyeglasses

to prevent powdered chemicals from blowing into

the eyes or liquid chemicals from splashing into

the eyes.

In the event of overdosing a sanitizing chemical • (chlorine or bromine), immediately turn off the

power to the spa and drain water to a safe and

approved area. Rell with fresh water and proceed

with the “Clear Water Plan” start up.

Physical Chemical Hazards

Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with • skin, eyes or clothing.

Always wear rubber gloves, protective eye wear • and clothing to reduce the risk of chemical contact

and irritation.

Remove and wash clothing that may have been • exposed to chemical contact prior to wearing

them again.

Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious • injury, sickness, or even death.

Do not mix chemicals. Mixing chemicals together • can cause dangerous chemical reactions including

the release of toxic gas, re and explosions.

Chemical Storage

Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach

of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry.

Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage

may result in serious injury, sickness, re explosion

and even death. Do not store your chemicals inside

the equipment area of your spa.

Bather Load

“Bather Load” is the term used to describe the number

of people using a spa, combined with the length of

usage, and the frequency of usage. All these factors

have a great effect on the spa water. The higher the

bather load, the more chemicals need to be added and

a longer ltration time will be needed.

All versions of the Cal Spas “Clear Water Plan” are

designed for spas with average bather load. (3-4

people, 15 minutes of usage, 3 times a week at 100

degrees) If your bather load exceeds these guidelines,

and you experience water quality problems, increase

the amount of ltration rst, (go to the next higher

ltration number) then if water quality is still not

adequate, consult the advise of your Cal Spas dealer

for additional chemical or system recommendations.

Be sure to give them your bather load information.

Chemical Overview

The following information is intended for use with Cal

Spas chemicals only. Other brands of chemicals may

have similar names and/or usage descriptions but due

to manufacturing differences, use of other chemicals

can increase the likelihood of under or over-dosing the

spa chemicals. Damage to the spa or spa’s components

from improper chemicals or chemical usage is not

covered under the spa’s warranty.

Chemical Safety

Failure to follow chemical directions may result in • serious injury, sickness, or even death.

Read and follow all printed instructions listed on • bottles, packages and in your owner’s manual.

Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended • in the “Clear Water Plan”, or on chemical bottles

and packages. (Most chemical instructions are

gured for a 500 gallon spa however, most spas

hold less than 500 gallons, consult your Owner’s

Manual for the approximate gallons of your spa)

Ozonator Clear Water Plan

This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Cal

Zone Quest 2000 / 3000 Ozonator (portable spas only) or Del Zone Eclipse (in-ground

models only). The chemical references are designed for Cal Spas chemicals only.

Start Up

Follow the Spa Start Up procedures for Chlorine “Clear Water Plan”. 1.

Set the spa’s ltration time for “F-4”. This activates the ozonator and produces the 2. ozone gas. (Follow the instructions in the owner’s manual)

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

Day One (Monday)

Test spa water using chlorine “Test Strips”. (You will need to use a small 1. amount of chlorine as a supplemental sanitizer.)

Based on the Test Strip readings:2.

First adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range of 80-120 ppm), •

Then adjust the pH if needed. (Range is between 7.2 to 7.8.)•

Add 1 tablespoon of Chlorine Granules.•

The recommended level of Chlorine is 1-3 ppm.•

Add 2 oz of “Stain and Scale Defense”.3.

Bromine Generator Clear Water Plan

This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Cal Clarity Automatic

Bromine Generator. The chemical references are designed for Cal Spas chemicals only. Note: Following these

instructions is very important to ensure proper operation of your Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine Generator.

Start Up

Clean surface of spa with Cal Spas “Multi-1. Purpose Cleaner”.

Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas “Fast 2. Sheen” to the acrylic surface.

Fill spa to proper water level with normal 3. tap water. (Do not use soft water.)

Use Bromine Test Strip and balance the 4. spa water:

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

Then adjust pH if necessary (between • 7.2 to 7.8)

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

Test for TDS (total dissolved solids, also known as conductivity) .6.

The ideal range is 50 to 300 ppm. •

TDS / conductivity must be less than 500 to start with.•

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

Determine the gallons capacity of the spa. Be accurate as this determines the amount of TRU BLU that will 8. be added. Consult the Pre-Delivery Guide for spa gallons.

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

Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the spa, one 2 lb bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100 US gallons 10. (370 liters) of water. DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH!

Note: Each bottle of TRU BLU will raise TDS / conductivity amount approximately 500 ppm in a 500 gallon

spa.

Allow spa to run for 15 minutes so the TRU BLU can dissolve completely before proceeding to the next 11. step.

Remove dirty lter from the spa and rinse off.4.

Place your extra clean lter cartridge back into the 5. spa.

Vacuum debris from the bottom of your spa with 6. the “Spa Vacuum”.

Day Two (Friday)

Test spa water using Chlorine Test Strips.1.

Based on the Test Strip reading: 2.

Adjust total alkalinity, then the pH if needed. •

Add 1 tablespoon of Chlorine Granules (if • needed).

Add 2 oz of Oxidizer Shock to spa. Run Spa for 15 3. minutes with cover off.

Replace cover.4.

LTR20101001, Rev. B

Water Quality Maintenance

www. c a l s p a s . c o m

29

Use Sodium Bromide Test Strips (not Bromine) and 12. adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates

to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS / conductivity level).

Add 2 oz. of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to help 13. burn out impurities in ll water.

Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise 14. until the LED display reads 10.

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

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

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

Adjusting The Proper Bromine Levels

After start up, decrease the ltration cycle to F-4 1. and monitor the bromine level until it is within the

recommended range.

Use bromine test strips to achieve a 3-5 ppm 2. recommended level.

Note: It can take several days for the bromine level

to stabilize because the ll water that was used

sometimes contains contaminants that need to be

neutralized, thereby using up the initial bromine that

is generated.

Once the desired level has been achieved, turn 3. the dial down until a maintenance setting is

achieved.

The common maintenance setting for an average 4. bather load is #4.

Note: When changing the setting, use bromine test

strips to determine when you have reached the level

you want.

Once A Week

Test spa water with bromine test strip.1.

Based on test strip readings:2.

First, adjust alkalinity if necessary. •

Then, adjust pH if necessary.•

Increase / decrease bromine production with • dial if required.

Remove dirty lter from the spa and rinse off.3.

Place your clean, extra lter cartridge back into 4. the spa.

Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to spa. Run 5. spa for 15 minutes

Vacuum debris from the bottom of your spa with 6. the “Spa Vacuum”.

Replace cover.7.

Maintenance Schedule

Regardless of which “Clear Water Plan” you are using,

you should also do the following:

Every Month

Deep clean your spa’s lter. (Follow “lter cleaning” 1. instruction at beginning of “Clear Water Plan”)

Check inside the equipment area for leaks, rodents, 2. and insects.

If a leak is discovered, contact your Cal Spas 3. dealer for service.

If you see evidence of rodents or insects, take 4. necessary actions to remove them and precautions

to prevent them from returning.

Every 3 To 4 Months

Drain and clean your spa with “Multi-Purpose 1. Cleaner”.

Polish the acrylic surface with “Fast Sheen”.2.

Clean and treat spa cover, pillows, and Cal Select 3. cabinet (if equipped) with “Cover Protector”.

When re-lling your spa, follow your specic “Clear 4. Water Plan” Start Up procedures.

If you use the Cal Inline Sanitation System “Clear 5. Water Plan”, don’t forget to replace the Mineral

and Bromine Cartridges.

Once A Year

Clean and treat redwood spa cabinets and 1. gazebos with “Nu-Spa Redwood Stain Renew and

Brightener”.

If you use the Cal Zone Quest 2000 Ozonator, you 2. will need to replace the ozone cartridge.

Check the lter cartridge pleats. If they are frayed,

replace the cartridge.

Removing and Reseating the Pillows

You can remove the pillows for cleaning and maintenance quickly and easily. This method works for all types

of pillows.

Grab the lower edge of the pillow with both hands rmly and pull up. As you do this, the pillow inserts will pop

out of the holes.

Reseat the pillows by aligning the pillow inserts with the holes and striking the pillow hard enough to insert the

pegs back into the holes.

Spa Cover

Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!

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

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

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

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

See the manual enclosed with your cover for

instructions on mounting the locks and how to lock

and unlock the cover.

In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it is not

designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety

precaution and to preserve the life of your cover, you

must not sit, stand, or lie on it; nor should you place

objects of any kind on top of it.

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 the 3. access panel and open it.

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

Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the drain tting.5.

Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain to.6.

Twist the hose-bib xture counterclockwise and pull to open the drain.7.

Let spa drain completely, then remove garden hose.8.

Twist the hose-bib xture clockwise to close it.9.

Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)

In many areas, the temperature drops below 0°C. We recommend that you always have your spa full of water

and running at normal spa temperatures (26.7°C to 37.8°C). This will help reduce the risk of freezing in your

spa and your spa’s equipment.

Warning: If you nd the need to drain your spa, please be aware of the potential of freezing in

your spas equipment and plumbing. Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there is

no guarantee that your spa will not suffer freeze damage.

Freeze damage is not covered by your warranty.

Wipe pillows dry.3.

Allow pillows to dry completely.4.

Warning: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on

spa covers or pillows. These products are generally

oil-based and will cause severe water clarity issues

that are difcult to correct.

All-Purpose Cleaner (Spa

nish cleaning)

Cal Spas™ All-Purpose Cleaner is an

essential part of maintaining your

spa’s nish. Through normal use,

the spa’s nish can accumulate dirt,

oil, and calcium causing a rough feel

and unsightly scum lines. Cal Spas™

All-Purpose Cleaner is a low detergent, non-abrasive

cleaner specically formulated to clean the spa without

damaging its acrylic nish.

The most effective solution to minimize cleaning time

is prevention. When the following steps are followed,

the spa’s nish will actually start to resist most of the

elements that cause calcium build-up and make scum

line clean up easier.

Prior to Spa Start-Up and Relling

Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly 1. on to the spa’s nish.

Wipe clean with a clean soft cloth.2.

Repeat on heavily calcied areas.3.

Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing 4. often with a bucket of clean water.

Allow spa to dry completely.5.

Apply a coat of Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen to the spa’s 6. entire nish with a soft towel or sponge.

Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery.7.

Buff clean with a soft cloth, rotating frequently.8.

Periodic Maintenance

Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly to 1. the spa’s nish.

Wipe clean with a clean soft cloth.2.

Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing 3. often in a bucket of clean water.

Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner should not be

sprayed directly into the spa water. Incorrect usage of

this product will cause water clarity issues.

Open all lter covers.1.

Remove the lter baskets and lters.2.

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

Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps.4.

Disconnect the unions from both sides of the 5. pump.

Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining 6. water out of the jets and equipment area.

Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-

weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow

enters the spa.

Cleaning the Cover, Shell and

Pillows

Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and

pillows receive, you should protect them by applying

Vinyl and Leather Cleaner as part of your monthly

maintenance plan. Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather

Cleaner is specically designed to protect spa covers

and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage.

It accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue

behind that is normally associated with common

automotive vinyl protectants.

Use of Vinyl and Leather Cleaner

Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner should be used

sparingly. Incorrect usage may cause water clarity

issues.

Spa Covers

Remove spa cover from 1. spa.

Allow spa cover to dry 2. completely.

Spray Vinyl and Leather 3. Cleaner to cover evenly and

wipe dry.

Allow spa cover to dry 4. completely.

Fast Sheen (Spa nish protecting wax)

Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen is an essential part of maintaining

your spa’s nish. Through normal use, the spa’s nish

can accumulate dirt, oil, and calcium, causing a rough

feel and unsightly scum lines. Cal

Spas™ Fast Sheen is a non-oil based

wax that is specically formulated

to protect the spa’s nish from the

chemicals and minerals associated

with normal spa use.

The most effective solution to minimize

cleaning time is prevention. When the

following steps are followed, the spa’s

nish will actually start to resist most

of the elements that cause calcium build-up and make

scum line clean-up easier.

Prior to Spa Start-Up and Relling

Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly to 1. the spa’s nish.

Wipe clean with a soft cloth.2.

Repeat on heavily calcied areas.3.

Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing 4. often in a bucket of clean water.

Allow the spa to dry completely.5.

Apply a coat of Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen to the spa’s 6. entire nish with a soft cloth or sponge.

Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery.7.

Buff clean with a soft cloth, rotating frequently.8.

IMPORTANT: Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen should not be used

on spas full of water. Only apply to clean, cool, dry

surfaces. Incorrect product usage may cause water

clarity issues.

Cleaning and Replacing the

Filter

Filtration

Filtration is one of the most important steps you can

take to ensure clean, clear water. Regardless of what

some people may think, it is far less expensive to

x water clarity problems by ltering your spa than

by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive

ltration times, or by water replacement.

Cal Spas™ ltration system draws contaminated water

through the exclusive Bio-Clean™ lter removing

debris from the water. It then pumps the newly

cleaned water back into the spa through various jets.

Spas equipped with the optional Quest 2000 Ozonator

will also receive ozone injection into the ltered water

for further protection against contaminants during

ltration cycles. Filtration also ensures that chemicals

are mixed thoroughly through the water, increasing

performance.

Filtration starts on electronically controlled spas as

soon as the pumps are primed and water ow is

steady. As the ow of water goes through the lter, dirt

and debris is removed and accumulated in the lter

cartridge. As the lter cartridge accumulates dirt and

debris, water ow is restricted and jet performance is

reduced. This can cause your spa to not run or heat

effectively.

Clean your lter regularly and replace as needed.

Filter Cleaning

Your new Cal Spa has been designed for quick and

easy lter maintenance. The lter cartridge should be

cleaned once a week. These instructions apply to both

dual and single ltration systems.

Turn the power off at the breaker.1.

Remove the lter by turning it counterclockwise 2. and unscrewing the bottom threads. Then pull it

up and out.

Clean the lter with a garden hose as follows:3.

Hold the lter vertically.a.

Spray the lter cartridges with a pressure b. nozzle, starting from the top and spraying

down each pleat.

Turn the lter cartridge over and repeat Step c. 3b.

Deep clean lter cartridge every month. Use d. only a Cal Spas™-approved lter-cleaning

chemical.

Exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter Cartridge

The lter cartridge is designed to remove dirt, sand,

minerals, phosphates, bather waste and other solids

from the spa. Unfortunately, some spa owners fail

to include lter cleaning as part of their chemical

maintenance plan. Filters accumulate debris and

become prime areas for bacteria growth.

The Cal Spas™ exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter is the

only antibacterial lter cartridge on the market today.

Having a lter cartridge that prevents bacteria growth

is added protection for those times you forget to clean

the lter. We recommend that you only replace your

spa’s lter cartridge with a Bio-Clean™ lter cartridge

for ensured protection and peace of mind.

Keeping Fit with your Cal Spa

IMPORTANT: Always consult your physician before starting any exercise activity or program. The tness series

spas feature rubber exercise bands. When stretched, these bands create a high tension condition. Improper use

or failure to connect the exercise bands properly may cause injury. Always inspect all of the exercise equipment

prior to beginning any exercise. Do not use any damaged equipment

The tness equipment consists of: two rowing arm bars, two 62” exercise bands, two 32” exercise bands, two

27” exercise bands, two hand grips, two ankle bands, two hand loops, and an exercise belt. This equipment

attaches to the exercise anchors located on the spa walls.

Seated Row

Use the exercise bars in a seated position with your

feet stable, abs tight and lower back stable. Keep

your palms down, arms extended with elbows slightly

bent. Pull towards your chest squeezing your shoulder

blades to the middle back and returning slowly to the

starting position.

Standing Chest Fly

Using the exercise grips, place palms sideways facing

your body with your elbows slightly bent. Pull forward

your body forward, bringing hands together, squeezing

and exing chest muscles, then slowly returning to the

starting position.

Standing Chest Press

Using the exercise grips, place your palms down with

your elbows bent at 90˚. Press forward bringing your

hands together, squeezing and exing your chest

muscles, then slowly return to the start position.

Standing Shoulder Press

Using the exercise grips, place your palms facing

away from your body with your elbows bent at 90˚.

Press upward bringing your hands together in front of

you, above your head and slowly return to the start

position.

Arm Curls

Using the exercise grips, place your hands face up with

your elbows slightly bent, pull upward towards your

chin squeezing and exing your biceps then slowly

return to start position.

Running or Walking

Attach the exercise belt around your waist and attach

the two 62” exercise bands to the far wall of the spa.

Turn on the two swim jets and walk or run into jet

stream.
