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 bathers 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.

23
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)

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.

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.

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.

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.
Leg Stretching and Strength Training
