Read This First! 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 filtering 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 preprogrammed filter 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.
Preparing for Your New Portable Spa Preparing for Your New Portable Spa Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your Cal Spa™.
Preparing for Your New Portable Spa 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.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa 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.

Water Quality Maintenance Water Quality Maintenance 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.
Water Quality Maintenance 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 filtration time will be needed. Chemical Safety • Failure to follow chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death.
Water Quality Maintenance 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.
Water Quality Maintenance For use with the chlorine “Clear Water Plan” 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 Go Brom Provides accurate spa water testing for Bromine, pH, and total Alkalinity. Establishes a bromide reserve in spa water. Use during start up.
Water Quality Maintenance 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.
Water Quality Maintenance Chlorine Clear Water Plan 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. 1.
Water Quality Maintenance 4. Remove dirty filter from the spa and rinse off. 2. Based on the Test Strip reading: 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.

Run Spa for 15 minutes with cover off. 4. Replace cover.
Water Quality Maintenance 12. Use Sodium Bromide Test Strips (not Bromine) and adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS / conductivity level). 13. Add 2 oz. of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to help burn out impurities in fill water. 14. Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise until the LED display reads 10. 3. Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved. 4.
Cleaning and Maintenance 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 2. Remove the filter baskets and filters. 3. Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions above. 4. Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps. 5. Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump. 6. Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining 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 and Maintenance 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 Using the Entertainment System Some spas may be equipped with audio/visual entertainment options. Several options are available and include marine grade CD players, DVD players, and an iPod® docking station. Two different TV monitors are also available. Each spa equipped with an audio/visual system is delivered with the manufacturer’s operating instructions. We strongly recommend that you read these instructions prior to operating the unit. 2.
