Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS .

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 fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings, or the pump, be sure the flow rates are compatible.

Never operate the spa if the suction fitting or filter baskets are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one that is rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.

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 5 feet 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.

Do not permit any external electrical appliances, such as lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within five feet of the spa. Never attempt to operate any electrical device from inside the spa.

Replace a damaged power cord immediately.

Do not bury the power cord.

Connect to a grounded, grounding-type receptacle only.

1

WARNING -- To reduce the risk of injury:

The spa water should never exceed 40°C (104°F).

Water temperatures between 38°C and 40°C (100°F and 104°F) 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

(1°C to 2°C) above the normal body temperature of

37°C (98.6°F). While hyperthermia has many health benefits, it is important not to allow your body’s core temperature to rise above 39.5°C (103°F).

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.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Pre-Delivery Checklist

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 under the age of 5. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your spa.

For additional operating and installation information, please see your selling dealer.

Before Delivery

Plan your delivery route

Choose a suitable location for the spa

Lay a 5 - 8 cm concrete slab

Install dedicated electrical supply

After Delivery

Place spa on slab

Connect electrical components

Planning the Best Location

Safety First

Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) 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 will probably want to create a specific 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 find 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.

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.

Allow for Service Access

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 finish.

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.

Place the spa on an elevated 10 cm concrete slab.

Pavers, gravel, brick, sand, timbers or dirt foundations are not adequate to support the spa.

We strongly recommended that you have a qualified, licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your spa.

If you are installing the spa indoors, pay close attention to the flooring beneath it. Choose flooring that will not be damaged or stained.

If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood deck or other structure, it is highly recommended that you consult a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight of 732 kg / m2 (150 lbs / ft2).

To properly identify the weight of your new spa when full, remember water weighs 1 kg per liter. For example, an average 2.4 meter (8 foot) spa holds approximately 1892 liters of water. Using this formula, you will find that the weight of the water alone is

1892 kg. Combined with the dry weight of the spa you will note that this spa will weigh approximately

2267 kg when full of water.

230V / 50 Hz Electrical Installation

All 230V spas must be permanently connected

(hard wired) 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 requirements below and wiring diagrams on page 6 through page 11.

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.

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 tables below to determine your RCD 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.

Wires that run over 25 meters must increase wire gauge to the next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp RCD with three #8 AWG copper wires that run over 25 meters would require you to go to three #6 AWG copper wires.

RCD and Wiring Requirements

Note: SINGLE PHASE ONLY!

Three phase power requires 400V.

Only use 230V.

Use this table to determine your wiring configuration.

Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

1 . Inspect the spa equipment .

Inspect all plumbing connections in the equipment area of your spa.

2 . Remove the cartridge from filter canister.

If you have a skimmer like this:

Grip the filter by the handle and unscrew it from the canister.

• Make sure unions in the equipment pack are tight. (Be careful not to over-tighten the plumbing fittings.)

• If your spa has gate valves, make sure they are all in the UP or OPEN position.

• Make sure the drain valve is closed and capped. (See page

42 for a description of drain valves.)

Never run the spa with the gate valves closed or without water circulating for long periods of time.


Remove the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip the filter by the handle and unscrew it from the canister.

Teleweir Mega filter skimmer

• 75 square feet filtration

• Smooth cap


Rotate and remove the black locking ring. Remove the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip the filter by the handle and unscrew it from the canister.

Replace and lock the locking ring and slide the skimmer cap and barrel back in the canister.

Note: The skimmer cap and barrel were locked in place at the factory to prevent damage during shipment. It must be unlocked and replaced in the filter canister so that it can float when the spa is filled. If you do not remove the cap and barrel, your spa’s filtration system will not perform as it was designed to.

Teleweir filter skimmer

• 50 square feet filtration

• Spoked cap

After you remove the filter, remove the plastic wrapper and soak it in water for 30 minutes before you replace it. A dry filter can allow air into the filtration system which can cause the pump to fail to prime.

www.calspas.com

2016 Portable Spa

LTR20161001, Rev. F

3 . Fill the spa .

Place a garden hose in the filter canister and fill your spa

.

Always fill the spa through the filter canister.

Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the filtration system and prevent the pumps from operating properly.

13

Fill the spa until water level is about six inches from the top.

If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will not operate properly.

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.

4 . Turn on power to the spa .

When the spa is filled to the correct level, turn on the power at the GFCI breaker. (Ensure that the 120V spas are connected to the proper electrical outlet.)

2016 Portable Spa

5 . Prime the pump .

Your spa will perform a self-diagnostic check and go into

Priming Mode. The control panel will display either

RUN

PUMPS PURG AIR ---

or

Priming Mode

, depending on which control panel you have.

Do the following:

Press the JETS or JETS 1 button once to start the pump in low speed.

a. Press it again to switch the pump to high speed.

b. If you have other pumps, press JETS 2 or JETS 3 to turn them on also. Running the pumps helps the pumps prime.

After two minutes, the pump should prime. If it does not, follow the priming instructions on the next page. If it does, continue with the next step.

6 . Install the filter into the filter canister.

Make sure the filter has soaked at least 30 minutes before you install it.

7 . Adjust water chemistry .

Test and adjust the water chemistry. See the section on page 41. for instructions on keeping your water clear.

Spa owners with the bromine generator need to follow the instructions on page 39.

8 . Let the spa heat up .

When the spa has finished priming, the heater will activate. Put the cover on and let the spa heat to the set temperature.

Priming the Pump

New spa owners often have difficulty the first time they start their spa and the pump fails to prime. This can be frustrating, but these simple instructions can help you.

The pump will not work properly while air is trapped in it. Continuing to operate the pump in this way will cause damage.

Sometimes air can become trapped in the pump while filling the spa. You will know this has happened when after you have filled and started the spa, the pump does not seem to function. You will hear the pump operating, but no water will be moving.

Starting Up: Priming Mode

After the initial start-up sequence, the spa will enter

Priming Mode, which lasts 4 to 5 minutes. Depending on your control panel, one of the messages shown at right will appear.

As soon as the Priming Mode screen appears on the panel, press the Jets or Jets 1 button once to start Pump 1 in low speed and then again to switch to high speed. Also, select the other pumps, to turn them on. The pumps should be running in high speed to facilitate priming.

If the pumps have not primed after two minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the pumps and repeat the process. Note: Turning the power off and back on again will initiate a new pump priming session.

Exit Jets 1

Priming Mode

Jets 2 Jets 3 Circ

Sometimes momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than five times. If the pumps will not prime, shut off the power to the spa and call for service.

Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than two minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4 to 5 minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition.

Exiting Priming Mode

You can manually exit Priming Mode by pressing an Up or Down button. Note that if you do not manually exit the priming mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically terminated after 4 to 5 minutes. Be sure that the pumps have been primed by this time.

Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will momentarily display the set temperature but the display will not show the temperature yet. This is because the system requires approximately one minute of water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it.

Bleeding Air from the Pump

If you have tried priming the pump several times unsuccessfully using the control panel, you can bleed the air from the pump manually.

1. Shut off the power to the spa.

2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the front panel from the spa and locate the pump.

3. Close the gate valve on the discharge side of the pump (if your spa is installed with one.)

4. Turn the bleeder valve counter clockwise with a small pair of pliers until the air has been released from the pump.

5. If this is unsuccessful, loosen the union nut on side of the pump with channel locks.

When air is bled out, tighten the nut.

6. Turn on power to the spa and press the

JETS button. If there is still air trapped in the pump, repeat steps 2 through 5 until the pump primes.

What is the difference between a 24-hour circulation pump and a two-speed pump?

Circulation Pump -

A 24-hour circulation pump is an optional, dedicated low power pump just for filtration. A circulation pump will reduce wear and tear on main pump and can cost less to run than using pump 1 for filtration. When a spa has a circulation pump, pump 1 will have only one

Although it can be set to run continuously, some spa owners prefer to reduce their filtration times in order to lower their energy cost. See “Adjusting

Filtration” on page 22.

Two-Speed Pump -

Spas without a circulation pump use the low speed setting of pump 1 as a circulation pump. Pump 1 will have two speeds, low speed and high speed. Low speed is used for filtration, and high speed is used for operating the jets.

You can set two temperature range settings with independent set temperatures.

The High Range is shown in the display by an “up” arrow and the Low Range with a “down” arrow. The ranges can be used for different reasons, the most common being a “ready to use” setting versus a “vacation” setting. (See “Vacation Setting” below.) Each range maintains its own set temperature that you program according to your needs. This way, when a range is chosen, the spa will heat to the set temperature programmed to that range.

High Range can be set between 26.5°C and 40°C (80°F and 104°F).

Low Range can be set between 10°C and 37°C (50°F and 99°F).

SET REST

There are two heat modes: READY Mode and REST Mode.

READY Mode:

In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the

“heater pump.”

The heater pump can be either a 2-Speed Pump 1 or a circulation pump. If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, READY Mode will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display.

This is known as “polling.”


Main Screen

REST Mode:

REST Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Since polling does not occur, the temperature display may not show a current temperature until the heater pump has been running for a minute or two.

Ready-in-Rest Mode

READY/REST appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and Jet 1 is pressed. When the spa is being used, it will heat to set temperature.

While Pump 1 High can be turned on and off, Pump 1 Low will run until set temperature is reached, or 1 hour has passed. After 1 hour, the system will revert to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset by entering the Mode

Menu and changing the Mode.

Other Spa Systems

Several spa functions operate in the background and require no action or maintenance from you. This is for your information only.

Pumps

Press the “Jets 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off, and to shift between low- and high-speeds if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will time out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will time out after 15 minutes.

On non-circ systems, the low-speed of pump 1 runs when the blower or any other pump is on. If the spa is in Ready Mode, Pump 1 low may also activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature (polling) and then to heat to the set temperature if needed. When the low-speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel, however the high speed may be started.

Circulation Pump

The circulation pump will come on when the system is checking temperature (polling), during filter cycles, during freeze conditions, or when another pump is on.

The ozonator will run with the circulation pump during filtration cycles.

Purge Cycles

In order to maintain sanitary conditions, secondary

Pumps and/or a Blower will purge water from their respective plumbing by running briefly at the beginning of each filter cycle.

This system incorporates two temperature range settings with independent set temperatures. The specific range can be selected on the Settings screen and is visible on the Main Screen in the upper right corner of the display.

These ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common use being a “ready to use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting. Each range maintains its own set temperature as programmed by the user. This way, when a range is chosen, the spa will heat to the set temperature associated with that range.

Selecting Heat Modes – Ready vs . Rest

In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “heater pump.”

The heater pump can be either a 2-speed pump (Pump 1) or a circulation pump. If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display.

This is known as “polling.”

Cal Spas Hot Tub Wi-Fi App

The Cal Spas Hot Tub Wi-Fi app can provide you with instant access and control of your spa wherever you connect within the spa’s Wi-Fi range. This optional feature is available for use with any smart device (Android

™ or iOS

™

systems only). You must have the Wi-Fi module installed in your spa in order to use the app. It is only available for spas with the BP501 or BP2000 control box.

Spa owners who do not have this feature installed on their spa at the factory can order it as an after-market item.

Installing the app

Go to the Apple app store or Google Play and search for the free spa app using the key words

“Cal Spas Hot Tub.” Select the app. The icon for the app will appear on your device as shown at left.

Make sure you enable Wi-Fi on your phone before you run the app .

On the Wi-Fi connections screen on your device, a network will appear called “BWGSpa_ xxxxxx_”. (The x’s represent the Wi-Fi module’s local address and is unique for every spa.) Once you are connected to the network, start the Cal Spas app and follow the prompts on the screen. (Your start screen maybe different.)

1. Tap the app button on the main screen of your device.

2. Connect to the spa’s Wi-Fi signal.

3. When connected, you will be taken to the main app screen.

4. You are now directly connected to your hot tub and can control all the hot tub functions via the app.

Troubleshooting connection problems

You should have few problems connecting with the Wi-Fi app. However, if you are unable to connect quickly and easily to the spa’s Wi-Fi source, try doing the following.

• Enable Wi-Fi on your device. This is the most likely reason you may not be able to connect to the app.

Check your devices Wi-Fi settings and try connecting again.

• Power cycle the spa. Shut off power to the spa for 30 second and turn it back on. Wait until the spa has gone through its complete set-up routine before you try to connect with the Wi-Fi app.

• Wait until the spa has completely primed. When you turn on the spa, it will go through a priming routine, which is followed by temperature polling, where no temperature is shown on the control panel. As soon as a temperature appears, you can connect with the Wi-Fi app.

• If you use your home network router, it MUST be close enough to the spa in order for the spa’s Wi-Fi signal to reach the router. If you have connectivity problems, you may need to relocate your router closer to your spa or consider adding a wireless signal booster to your router.

Electrical Power Efficiency

Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater.

Following the directions listed below will ensure the most efficient operation:

NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two hours a week.

• Keep the spa’s operating temperature 3°C (5°F) 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

5.5°C (10°F) 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.

Adjustable Jets

Almost all of the jets in your spa are adjustable.

Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the left

(counter-clockwise) will decrease the amount of water flow through the jet. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the right (clockwise) will increase the amount of water flow through the jet. (See example shown below.)

Neck jets adjust in the opposite directions (counterclockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease).

LED Perimeter Lighting

Press the LIGHT button on the topside control panel to turn the spa light on. If your spa has perimeter

LED lights, they will also light up at the same time as the spa light.

The perimeter lights operate in three modes:

1 . Cycle:

The first time you press the LIGHT button, the lights will cycle through all the colors in this order:

White

Cyan

Magenta

Blue

Yellow/green

Green

Red

To cycle through the different color choices, press the button repeatedly. Each time you press the button, you advance to the next color.

2 . Flashing white:

When you have cycled through all the colors, the next time you push the LIGHT button, the LED lights will flash white.

3 . Fading cycle:

The next time you push the

LIGHT button, the lights will gradually fade from one color to the next in the order shown above.

Spas with exterior corner LED lighting work in the same modes as described above but do not light up when the interior perimeter lights are yellow/green, green or red.

Diverter Knobs

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. To increase the amount of water flow through the other section of jets, rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).

Waterfalls

Some spa series include optional waterfalls. When the booster pump is on, rotate the dial on top (for the cascade waterfall) or turn the knob (for the hydro streamer -- see below).

Air Venturis

Air venturis are the smaller knobs located around the top of your spa.

Each one will let you add a mixture of air with the jet pressure. This is accomplished by rotating the air venturi knob to the left (counterclockwise) to increase the amount of airflow through the jets. To decrease the amount of airflow through the jets, rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).

Hydro Streamer Waterfall

Your spa may include two to eight streamer waterfalls. When the booster pump is on, turn the 1” diverter knob to adjust the rate of flow to the waterfall jets.

The waterfall jet faces are not adjustable. Do not turn the jet faces because you may accidentally remove them.

Always shut off water to the hydro streamer jets before you place the cover on the spa. Water from the hydro streamer jets sprays in an arc that is higher than the top surface of the spa.

When water from the hydro streamer sprays the bottom of the cover, it will collect and run to the edge of the spa and drip over the top.

Pure Cure™ Water Sanitizer

The Pure Cure™ water sanitizer is an optional water purification system installed at the factory. It eradicates germs in the water that are resistant to chlorine-based chemicals using high intensity UV light. Although the water sanitizer works automatically with your spa, you will still need to test for chlorine or bromine and occasionally replenish it to return the sanitizer level to the baseline.

For spas without a circulation pump, pump 1 will run at low speed and the water sanitizer will run during filtration.

For spas with a circulation pump, the water sanitizer will run with the circulation pump.

The spa’s control system is factory-programmed with one filter cycle that will run in the evening when energy rates are often lower. The time and duration of the filter cycle can be set according to your needs. In addition, a second filter cycle can be enabled. Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load.

See instructions for setting filtration cycles on page 22 or page 29.

The water sanitizer is virtually maintenance-free. Once a year the UV light needs to be replaced. See page

46 for instructions.

However, the water sanitizer is not a user-serviceable item and maintenance must be performed by a spa technician . Have your service technician consult the manufacturer’s instruction and service manual .

Ozonator

The ozone generator releases ozone into the spa water. You will still need to test for chlorine or bromine and occasionally replenish it to return the sanitizer level to the baseline.

For spas without a circulation pump, pump 1 will run at low speed and the ozonator will run during filtration.

For spas with a circulation pump, the ozonator will run with the circulation pump.

The spa’s control system is factory-programmed with one filter cycle that will run in the evening when energy rates are often lower. The time and duration of the filter cycle can be set according to your needs. In addition, a second filter cycle can be enabled. Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load.

Bromine Generator

The bromine generator automatically generates and releases free bromine into the spa water. You will still need to test for bromine and occasionally adjust it to return the bromine level to the baseline.

Start-up/Operating Instructions

Be certain that you start with a clean spa. It should be free of contaminants and other residues that can accumulate on the sides and/or around the jets. It is also important to only use spa cleaning products that have

no phosphates

or phosphonic acids since phosphates will deplete free bromine and are superfood for algae. Always start your spa with a clean filter before filling with water.

If the water source is “well water” or a non-municipal water source, have your water tested for Total Dissolved

Solids (TDS) and metals. Water with high TDS is likely to have higher metal content and will need a metal remover to decrease the metals and ensure a successful start. This test can be done by your local spa dealer. The ideal range for your start-up TDS is between 50 and

200 ppm - mg/L. If TDS from your source water is above

500 ppm, a metal remover is strongly recommended.

DO NOT FILL THE SPA WITH SOFT WATER.

1. Using your PURE FILL Spa Pre-Filter, fill your spa with water to the recommended level (six inches below the lip of the spa) and DO NOT FILL

WITH WATER FROM A “RESIDENTIAL WATER

SOFTENER.”

2. Before starting the system, balance your water chemistry to ensure a successful start up. Ideal ranges are as follows:

Ideal Range

Minimum Maximum

7.2

7.6

pH

Total alkalinity 80 ppm

Calcium hardness 150 ppm

Phosphates 0 ppb

120 ppm

250 ppm

30 ppb

Use the phosphate test kit included with your system.

Bromide residuals will be significantly reduced if phosphate levels are high. If phosphates are detected, purchase a phosphate remover and follow the directions accordingly.

Any

phosphates in your spa will reduce bromine levels.

3. Determine the level of “NaBr” (Sodium Bromide) required for your spa size. NaBr should be added at a rate of 1.2 lbs per 100 gallons or approximately

1300-1500 ppm.

Example:

For a 500 gallon spa add approximately 6 lbs of NaBr.

1 .2 lbs x (5) 500 gallons = 6lbs NaBr .

4. Turn the jets on high speed. Sprinkle the NaBr across the surface of the water to evenly distribute the NaBr in the spa and circulate for 30 minutes.

5. Test the Sodium Bromide concentration with the

Tru-Blu NaBr test kit. The correct amount of NaBr will secure a reading of between 1300-1500 ppm.

6. Adjust the filtration time to circulate for 8 hours every 24 hours on a 2 speed pump.

7. For a spa between 300-500 gallons, start at a power level of “6” and then press the “boost” feature. This will accelerate the production of bromine for 8 hours. Wait for proper bromine levels before entering the spa.

8. Always keep your bromine level between 3-5ppm.

Test the bromine level after 24 hours and adjust the power setting accordingly. An occasional heavier bather load may require the “boost” feature.

Always keep your spa or hot tub water in balance.

www.calspas.com

2016 Portable Spa

LTR20161001, Rev. F

Maintaining the Bromine Level

Maintaining the pH and the alkalinity is part of being a spa owner. The bromine generator requires you to determine your power setting based upon your circulation time and your spa usage. It requires a minimum of eight hours of circulation per day. If the spa is not circulating, the bromine generator is not generating bromine. If you find that you are having trouble maintaining the desired level, make sure the spa is circulating the required amount.

A spa that is frequently used will require a higher power setting. If you have a bromine reading that is too high or too low, adjust the

DECREASE / INCREASE

control accordingly. Depending on the amount usage, circulation time, and type of spa, each spa owner’s setting will be different.

The bromine generator can go up to 12 months before a drain and fill is required, unlike non-equipped spas that require it every three months. This is because the bromine generator does not add unwanted chemical by-products like traditional chemicals do.

Sodium bromide is not the only contributor to the

TDS count in your water. Over time, the TDS count in your water will rise (from such things as residuals from other chemicals and minerals, and unfilterable material). Test the TDS every few months to make certain it stays within range.

Shower prior to entering any hot tub or spa. This will help prevent phosphate contamination and reduce the demand on the bromine.

Shocking your tub is recommended after heavy bather load.

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.

Jet Removal and

Replacement

Jets can be easily removed for cleaning.

Screw-in jet removal

Grasp the outer rim of the jet and turn it counter-clockwise. The jet will unscrew from the fitting until it is free.

To replace the jet, place it in the fitting and turn it clockwise until it is snug in place and it can be rotated freely about half a turn. Do not overtighten the jet.

Snap-in SQR jet removal

Grasp the outer rim of the jet and turn it counter-clockwise until it completely stops. You may feel it slightly loosen pop out a bit from the fixture. Pull the jet out from the jet fixture. The jet will be very snug and may require some force to remove it. DO NOT PRY OUT JETS.

Draining Your Portable Spa

Your spa should be drained every four to six months for cleaning and maintenance and refilled with fresh tap water. See page 45 for instructions on cleaning the shell, cover, and pillows. See page 12 for instructions on refilling your spa. Before you begin, turn off power to the spa at the breaker and remove all filters.

1 . Locate your drain .

For spas with drain inside the spa

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws to the access panel and open it. Locate the drain as shown below.

For spas with cabinet mounted drain

Pull the knob out of the cabinet. The cabinet drain is screwed into the drain pull knob.

2 . Remove the cap

Make sure the valve is in the closed position, then unscrew and remove the cap.

For spas with drain inside the spa For spas with cabinet mounted drains

3 . Connect valve to a garden hose .

Attach a garden hose to the hose-bib fixture. Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain.

4 . Drain the spa .

For all spas

Turn the valve on the hose-bib fixture to open the drain.

When the spa has drained completely, turn the valve on the hose-bib fixture, remove garden hose, and replace the cap.

Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)

In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always have your spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 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 find the need to drain your spa, 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 .

1. Remove the filter baskets and filters.

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

3. Vacuum water from the spa’s main drain and from the jets with a wet/dry vacuum.

4. Open the bleeder valves on the pumps.

5. Disconnect the unions from both sides of all pumps.

6. Blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment area with the wet/dry vacuum.

7. When the spa has completely finished draining, close the bleeder valves and re-connect the unions on all pumps. Replace the filters and filter baskets.

Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters the spa.

Vacation Care

You can leave your spa unattended for up to two weeks if you follow these instructions.

ALWAYS lock your cover using the cover locks if you plan to be away from home and the spa is filled with water.

1. Select the Low Range temp choice used for vacation mode. (See instructions on page 19 or page 28 for vacation setting.)

2. Adjust the pH.

3. Shock the water (add either chlorine or bromine sanitizer).

4. When you return, check and adjust the pH and shock the water.

If you will not be using your spa for longer than 14 days and a spa maintenance service is not available, we strongly recommend you drain or winterize your spa.

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 finish 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.

Filter Cleaning

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. Even if the filter looks clean, scale and particles can clog the fibers and prevent water from flowing through the filter resulting in the most common spa problem—no heat, caused by a dirty filter.

We recommend you clean your filter once a month and replace it once a year or as necessary.

It is extremely important that you never run the spa without a filter. There is a possibility that debris may be sucked into the plumbing through the filter well.

Set the spa in Hold Mode before you remove the filter. Hold Mode pauses all spa operations for

60 minutes for service functions like cleaning or replacing the filter. See page 21 or page 29 for instructions on using Hold Mode .

Cleaning the filter

1. Remove the filter by unscrewing it and pulling it up and out.

2. Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of liquid filter cleaner to the bucket of water.

Note:

It is a good idea to keep a spare filter to use in the spa while the dirty filter is being deep cleaned.

This way, you can rotate the filters and both will last longer.

3. Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours.

4. Spray the filter with a water hose. Spray each pleat carefully.

5. Reinstall the filter. Do not overtighten.

Cleaning Your Spa

Spa Cover and Pillows

Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying a vinyl and leather cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Use a product that is specifically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants.

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.

Spa Shell

Each time you drain your spa, before you refill it you should clean your spa shell with an all-purpose cleaner and apply a coat of surface protectant.

Use a low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner specifically formulated to clean the spa without damaging its acrylic finish.

Use a non-oil based surface protectant that is specifically formulated to protect the spa’s finish from the chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.

In such an event, reasonable costs for removal of the original spa, shipping costs from the factory for the replacement spa and delivery and installation of the replacement will be your responsibility as the spa owner. The replacement spa will carry the balance of the original spa’s warranty. Spa covers are not included. This warranty ends either by specified time frame, owner-transfer, relocation, or installation of any component other than by manufacturer.

Warranty Limitations

This Limited Warranty is void if Cal Spas or its designated representative determines that the spa has been subjected to alteration, neglect, misuse or abuse, or freight damage caused by the common carrier; any repairs have been attempted by anyone other than a designated representative; or if the failure is caused by accident, acts of God or other causes beyond the control of the Manufacturer. Neglect, misuse and abuse include any installation, operation or maintenance of the spa other than in accordance with the instructions contained in the owner’s manual provided with the spa, including but not limited to the failure to maintain proper water chemistry and chemical balance and the use of abrasive or improper cleaners or non-genuine parts and accessories. This

Limited Warranty does not provide coverage for any item attached to or installed on the spa after the date of manufacture or for gaining access to any component for repair or replacement. Spa units in commercial use are excluded from any coverage whatsoever. The spa owner accepts liability for repair work performed by anyone other than the Manufacturer or a designated Cal Spa representative.

Limitations

The Manufacturer disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, in fact or in law, to the extent allowed by your

State’s Law, including the warranty of merchantability and fitness for use, except as stated specifically herein.

All warranty service must be performed by the Manufacturer or its designated representative using authorized

Cal Spa parts. No agent, dealer, distributor, service company or other party is authorized to change, modify or extend the terms of this limited warranty in any manner whatsoever. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any statements or representations made in any form that go beyond, are broader than, or are inconsistent with any authorized literature or specifications furnished by Cal Spas.

Disclaimers

The Manufacturer and its representatives shall not be liable for any injury, loss, cost or other damage, whether incidental or consequential, arising out of any defect covered by this limited warranty, including without limitation, loss of use of the spa and cost for removal of defective product even if the Manufacturer was advised of the possibility of damage. The liability of the Manufacturer under this limited warranty, if any, shall not exceed the original amount paid for the defective product. Coverage under this limited warranty shall commence as of the original date of delivery and the duration of such coverage shall not extend for any reason whatsoever beyond the stated time periods. These disclaimers shall be equally applicable to any service provided by the

Manufacturer and its designated representatives.

Legal Rights

This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you.
