High water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy.
Preparing for Your New Inground Spa 4 Preparing for Your New Inground Spa Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your Cal Spa.
Planning the Best Place for the Outdoor Equipment Pack • The equipment pack must be located within a maximum of 15 feet from the spa. • Ensure the equipment running its normal filtration cycles does not make too much noise for spa owners and/or neighbors. • Ensure the equipment can be easily serviced for filter cleaning and periodic inspections in the location chosen. • If you are using a gas heater, you will need to consider wind and drafts as well as heater exhaust for proper heater placement.

Always check local codes prior to any inground spa installation.
Preparing for Your New Inground Spa 12 Air Test The air test requires a wet/dry vacuum. Locate the plumbing line you wish to identify and secure the vacuum hose to cut open end. Turn on the vacuum, enter the spa and listen for vacuum suction sound from inside the spa side filter canister. If you hear the suction sound in the canister, the line is properly marked and can be connected to the suction side of the pump on the equipment pack. Water Test The water test requires a garden hose and water source.
Connecting the plumbing from the spa to the equipment pack must be performed in accordance to local and city codes. NOTE: Most codes require plumbing to be rigid PVC schedule 40 or heavier in both above and below ground installations. In most cases, the use of flexible PVC plumbing is acceptable when properly buried in trenches. Most water plumbing lines are 2” or larger and must be schedule 40 or heavier PVC. When plumbing, minimize the use of 90˚ elbows as much as possible.

Make certain all electrical inspections on lights, bonding and all other electrical work have been completed and checked off by the local inspectors prior to proceeding with your concrete or finish work. It is a good idea to run the spa for at least 24 hours before pouring the concrete to insure there are no leaks.

Clear Water Plan Water maintenance is not difficult, although it requires regular attention. The most important thing to understand about taking care of your spa water is that preventive action is much easier than correcting water quality issues. The Key to Clear Water Excellent water quality is a simple matter of four things: Regularity Regularity Filtration Filtration Ing et augait alit requires esto dolut dioregular doleniam maintenance.
Clear Water Plan 24 Testing and Adjusting Spa Water You have two types of testing methods to choose from: • The reagent test kit is a method which provides a high level of accuracy. It is available in either liquid or tablet form. • Test strips are a convenient testing method commonly used by spa owners.
After you fill your spa, you need to decide which chemical sanitizer you wish to use. Consult your Cal Spas dealer for the right decision with regards to your lifestyle and spa usage. We recommend either bromine or chlorine as your sanitizer. Both work well when maintained regularly. DO NOT use trichlor. Trichlor is very acidic and the hot temperature of the spa causes it to dissolve too quickly. It will cause damage to your spa and will void your warranty.
Clear Water Plan 26 Testing For: Ideal Range (ppm) Minimum Maximum Without ozonator 3.0 5.0 With ozonator 2.0 4.0 Without ozonator 6.7 11.0 With ozonator 5.7 10.0 Chemicals To Use: To Raise To Lower Chlorine level Chlorinating Granules Bromine level Go Brom Shocking the Water In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water.
The filter 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 filtering performance and heating efficiency. In addition to spraying off the filter weekly to remove surface debris, your filter should be deep cleaned periodically to dissolve scale and particles that get lodged deep within the filter fibers and impede the filtration process.
Clear Water Plan 28 Starting the Spa with Fresh Water We recommend you use Cal Spas chemicals only. Other brands of chemicals may have similar names and/or usage descriptions but due to manufacturing differences, use of other chemicals can increase the likelihood of under- or over-dosing the spa chemicals. Damage to the spa or spa’s components from improper chemicals or chemical usage is not covered under the spa’s warranty.
Each time you refill the spa Follow the section “Starting the Spa with Fresh Water”. Prior to each use Test the spa water using either test strips a reagent test kit. Adjust chemical levels as necessary. Once a week Test the spa water using either test strips a reagent test kit. Adjust chemical levels as necessary. Once a month Deep clean your spa’s filter.
Clear Water Plan 30 Del Zone Eclipse Ozonator The Del Zone Eclipse ozone generator releases ozone into the spa water. You will still need to test for chlorine and occasionally replenish it to return the chlorine level to the baseline. This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Del Zone Eclipse ozonator. The chemical references are designed for Cal Spas chemicals only. Start Up 1. Follow the spa start up procedures for chlorine Clear Water Plan. 2.

Cleaning and Maintenance 32 Cleaning and Maintenance Removing and Reseating the Pillows You can remove the pillows for cleaning and maintenance quickly and easily. This method works for all types of pillows. Grab the lower edge of the pillow with both hands firmly 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.
Your spa should be drained every four to six months, and refilled with fresh tap water. The following is the recommended method for draining your spa. 1. Turn off the power at the breaker. 2. Remove all filters. 3. Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the drain fitting (if equipped). 4. Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain to. 5. Let spa drain completely, then remove garden hose and refill.
Cleaning and Maintenance 34 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 specifically 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.
2. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen is an essential part of maintaining your spa’s finish. Through normal use, the spa’s finish 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 specifically formulated to protect the spa’s finish from the chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use. 4. Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing often in a bucket of clean water.

IMPORTANT: Always consult your physician before starting any exercise activity or program. The fitness 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.
