Never fill 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 finish of the spa and void your warranty. 1. Once the spa has been placed on an approved surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these connections are secure and that they did not loosen during shipment. 2.

Operating Your Spa 20 Diverter Knobs Adjustable Therapy System™ Diverter knobs are the larger knobs located around the top of your spa. They allow you to divert water through jets from one side of the spa to the other, or in most cases from floor jets to wall jets. This is accomplished by rotating the diverter knob to the left (counterclockwise), decreasing the amount of water flow through a section of jets.
Operating Your Spa automatically and the green LED light on the panel will continue to blink for one minute then shut off automatically.

Water Quality Maintenance 22 Water Quality Maintenance Cal Spas Clear Water Plan Before You Begin 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.
• Never mix chemicals together. “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 filtration time will be needed. • Never change chemical brands or types without completely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning the spa and cover first.
Water Quality Maintenance 24 Chemical Descriptions The following descriptions and recommendations are intended for use with Cal Spas chemicals only. Many of these chemicals will be used with alternative sanitation systems as well. For use with any “Clear Water Plan” Oxidizer Shock Destroys ammonia, organic contaminants, and odor causing wastes in spa water. Iron Out Helps prevent metals in water from staining spa. Use during start up.
Chlorinating Granules Quick acting sanitizer / disinfectant for spa water. Test Strips – Chlorine Provides accurate spa water testing for Bromine, pH, and total Alkalinity. For use with the bromine “Clear Water Plan” Test Strips -Bromine Provides accurate spa water testing for Bromine, pH, and total Alkalinity. Go Brom Establishes a bromide reserve in spa water. Use during start up. Brominating Tablets Long lasting sanitizer / disinfectant for spa water. Add to bromine floater.
Water Quality Maintenance 26 Traditional Chemical Start Up Bromine Clear Water Plan Prior to filling a spa for the first time, or after a routine draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to extend water life and performance. If you are following either the Bromine or Chlorine “Clear Water Plans”, you will notice that both start-up processes are the same with the exception of Step 6.
This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for Cal Spas chemicals only. Most chemical manufacturers use different chemical formulas and strengths. Only Cal spas chemicals are specially formulated to provide chemical balance at lower dosages. Always read and follow printed instructions on chemical bottles and packages. 5. Place your extra clean filter cartridge back into the spa. Day One (Monday) 1. Test spa water using “Chlorine Test Strips”. 2.
Water Quality Maintenance 28 4. Remove dirty filter from the spa and rinse off. 5. Place your extra clean filter cartridge back into the spa. 6. Vacuum debris from the bottom of your spa with the “Spa Vacuum”. Day Two (Friday) 1. Test spa water using Chlorine Test Strips. 2. Based on the Test Strip reading: • Adjust total alkalinity, then the pH if needed. • Add 1 tablespoon of Chlorine Granules (if needed). 3. Add 2 oz of Oxidizer Shock to spa. Run Spa for 15 minutes with cover off. 4.
3. Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved. 13. Add 2 oz. of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to help burn out impurities in fill water. 4. The common maintenance setting for an average bather load is #4. 14. Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise until the LED display reads 10. Note: When changing the setting, use bromine test strips to determine when you have reached the level you want. 15.
Cleaning and Maintenance 30 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.
Cleaning and Maintenance Draining Your Portable Spa 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. 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: 3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws to the access panel and open it. 4.
Cleaning and Maintenance 32 1. Open all filter covers. 3. Wipe pillows dry. 2. Remove the filter baskets and filters. 4. Allow pillows to dry completely. 3. Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions above. 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 difficult to correct. 4. Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps. 5.
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. The most effective solution to minimize cleaning time is prevention.
Using the Entertainment System 34 Using the Entertainment System Some spas may be equipped with audio entertainment options. Several options are available and include marine grade CD players and an iPod® docking station. Each spa equipped with an audio system is delivered with the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
