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. 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 benefits, 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.

WARNING: To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.

WARNING: Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.

WARNING: Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.

WARNING: Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.

CAUTION: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

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

(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 requirements on page 6 and wiring diagrams on page 7 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 table on the next page 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 25 meters must increase wire gauge to the next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp RCD with four #8 AWG copper wires run over

25 meters would require you to go to four #6 AWG copper wires.

5

Testing the RCD Breaker

Test the RCD breaker prior to first use and periodically when the spa is powered. To test the RCD breaker follow these instructions (spa should be operating):

1.

2.

Press the TEST button on the RCD. The RCD will trip and the spa will shut off.

Reset the RCD breaker by switching the breaker to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn the breaker back on. The spa should have power again.

Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

This applies to all spa owners EXCEPT those with the Cal Clarity II bromine generator. See instructions on page 32 for bromine generator operating instructions and spa filling procedures.

1 . Inspect the spa equipment .

After 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.

If your spa has gate valves, make sure they are all in the

UP or OPEN position.

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 fittings.

13

2 . Remove the cartridge from filter canister.

Unscrew the cartridge and remove it.

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.

3 . Fill the 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.

2013 Portable Spa

LTR20131001, Rev. B

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

regular tap water about 15 cm from the top.

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

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.

www.calspas.com

14

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.)

5 . Prime the pump .

Your spa will perform a self-diagnostic check and go into priming mode. When the control panel displays PR, do the following: a. Press the JETS button to turn on the pump and let it run for 10 seconds. The pump should be running in low speed.

b. c.

Press the JETS buttons again and let the pump run in high speed for 10 seconds.

Press the JETS button again to turn off the pump. The pump should be left off for 10 to 15 seconds.

d. Repeat steps a through c until water is flowing through all the jets and all air is removed from the plumbing.

If spa fails to prime, there could be an air pocket at the suction side of the pump. Follow the priming instructions on page 15 using the bleeder valve.

6 . Install the filter into the filter canister.

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

7 . Let the spa heat up .

When the spa has finished priming, the heater will activate.

Put the cover on and let the spa run for two hours.

8 . Adjust water chemistry .

After the spa has run for two hours, test and adjust the water chemistry. See the section on page 27 for instructions on water clarity.

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.

There are two methods of priming the pump.

Using the control panel:

1. Turn the spa on and wait for PR (Priming Mode) to appear on the topside display.

2. Press the JETS button to turn on the pump and let it run for 10 seconds. The pump should be running in low speed.

3.

4.

Press the JETS buttons again and let the pump run in high speed for 10 seconds.

Press the JETS button again to turn off the pump.

5.

The pump should be left in the off position for 10 to 15 seconds.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 until water is flowing through all the jets and all air is removed from the plumbing.

Note: If you press the Temp button any time during Priming Mode, it will exit that mode and begin

Standard Mode.

Using the bleeder valve:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

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

Shut off the power to the spa.

Close the gate valve on the discharge side of the pump.

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

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

When air is bled out, tighten the nut.

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.

Preset Filter Cycles

There are two filter 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 filter cycles are as follows:

•

•

The first filter cycle is automatically activated at

8:00 AM and operates the pump until 10:00 AM.

The “FILTER 1” indicator icon will light when filter

1 is running.

The second filter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00 PM and operates the pump until 10:00 PM.

The “FILTER 2” indicator icon will light when filter

2 is running.

The pump and the ozone generator will run during filtration. At the start of each filter 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 five minutes. In the event of power loss or shut down, the time of day will need to be reset for filter 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 filter 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 configured 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.

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 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

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

2 .

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

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 Waterfalls

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).

Some spa series include optional waterfalls. When the booster pump is on, turn the knob near the waterfall.

Water will immediately start flowing through it.

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).

25

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.

Water Clarity

This section is intended for new spa owners with no experience with water chemistry. Everyone’s experience with maintaining water quality is different, but there are some general concepts you need to know.

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.

A Note on the Cal Clarity II System

The information in this section applies to all spas.

However, the Cal Clarity II bromine generator has a few specific requirements and exclusions, which are called out where they occur in this section.

The Cal Clarity II system uses its own bromine chemical additive and does not require a sanitizer.

Spa owners with the Cal Clarity II system need to learn how to use the system to prevent voiding their warranty.

The Key to Clear Water

Excellent water quality is a simple matter of four things:

You will need to test and adjust the chemical balance of your spa water. Although this is not difficult, it needs to be done regularly.

consequi tinim ilisi bla feuis euguerc ilisi.

Depending on your choice of sanitizer, you need to test the level of calcium hardness, total alkalinity, and pH. Spa owners with a Cal Clarity

II bromine generator also need to check total dissolved solids and phosphates.

Testing and Adjusting Spa Water

You have two types of testing methods to choose from:

• The reagent test kit

or tablet form.

is a method which provides a high level of accuracy. It is available in either liquid

• Test strips

are a convenient testing method commonly used by spa owners.

Balancing the Total Alkalinity

Total alkalinity (TA) is the measure of the total levels of carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides, and other alkaline substances in the water. TA can be considered a “pH buffer”. It is the measure of the ability of the water to resist changes in pH level.

The recommended total alkalinity is 80 - 120 ppm .

If the TA is too low, the pH level will fluctuate widely from high to low. Low TA can be corrected by adding an alkalinity increaser

If the TA is too high, the pH level will tend to be too high and may be difficult to bring down. High TA can be corrected by adding an alkalinity decreaser.

When the TA is balanced, it normally remains stable, although adding water with high or low alkalinity will raise or lower the TA level.

Balancing the Calcium Hardness

Calcium hardness (CH) is a measure of the total amount of dissolved calcium in the water. Calcium helps control the corrosive nature of the spa’s water and is why soft water is not recommended. The low calcium content of soft water is very corrosive to the equipment and can cause staining of the spa shell.

The recommended calcium hardness is 150

- 200 ppm .

If the CH is too low, add a calcium hardness increaser.

If the CH is too high, dilute the spa water with soft water.

When the CH is balanced, it normally remains stable, although adding soft water or very hard water will raise or lower the CH level.

Balancing the pH

The pH level is the measure of the balance between acidity and alkalinity.

If the pH is too low, it can cause corrosion of metal fixtures and the heating element. Low pH can be corrected by adding a pH decreaser.

If the pH is too high, it can cause scaling by allowing metals or minerals to form deposits and stain spa surfaces. High pH can be corrected by adding a pH increaser

Too alkaline, causes scaling

Sanitation

Sanitizers kill bacteria and other organic waste by breaking them down to non-harmful levels and are filtered out. Before 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.

Do not use a sanitizer with the Cal Clarity II bromine generator. See page 32 for instructions on its use.

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 .

Whichever plan you decide on, follow it completely and don’t take shortcuts. It will provide you with clean, safe, clear spa water with a minimum of effort. Spa owners with an ozonator still need to use a chemical sanitizer. See page 31 for instructions on usage.

Using Chlorine as a Sanitizer

If you choose to use chlorine as a sanitizer, only use granulated chlorine, not liquid chlorine.

Once a week, check the chlorine level using either a test strip or a reagent kit. See the table on the following page for the ideal range.

Add one or two tablespoons granulated chlorine to the spa water weekly. Note that chlorine dissipation rate will be faster at higher water temperatures and slower at lower temperatures.

When you add chlorine, open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed with the cover open for at least 30 minutes.

Follow the maintenance schedule on page 34.

Using Bromine as a Sanitizer

Bromine is a very effective sanitizer that produces low chemical odors. Unlike chlorine, it can break down bacteria and other impurities to a safe level with a low burn-out rate.

Bromine is available in both granulated and tablet form. Use granulated sodium bromide to establish your bromine base. Use tablets to maintain it.

When you begin with fresh water, add 2 ounces of granulated bromide. Open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed with the cover open for at least 30 minutes. This is your base bromine level as the tablets will take a while to dissolve.

Place three or four bromine tablets in your chemical floater.

Follow the maintenance schedule on page 34.

Shocking the Water

In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spa’s water and improves your sanitizer’s effectiveness.

Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. Only use an oxidizer shock. It can be used with either chlorine or bromine sanitizers.

Do not use shock with the Cal Clarity

II bromine generator. See page 32 for instructions on its use.

Add one ounce of oxidizer shock once a week, after heavy bather loads, or if water has a strong odor.

Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for

30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.

Chemical Safety

Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles and packages . Failure to follow chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death .

Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended on chemical bottles and packages.

Never change chemical brands or types without completely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning the spa and cover first.

Never mix chemicals together.

Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin, eyes or clothing. 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.

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, fire 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 filtration time will be needed.

Recommendations are designed for spas with average bather load (3 to 4 people, 15 minutes of usage, three times a week at 100 degrees) If your bather load exceeds these guidelines, and you experience water quality problems, increase the amount of filtration first, (go to the next higher filtration number) then if water quality is still not adequate, consult the advice of your Cal Spas dealer for additional chemical or system recommendations. Be sure to give them your bather load information.

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.

1. Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise, unscrewing the bottom threads, then 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. Put fresh bromine in the tablet tube (if you use it as a sanitizer) and twist it back on top of the filter.

6. Reinstall the filter. Do not overtighten.

Pure XL™ and Pure Cure™ Water Sanitizers

The Pure XL™ and Pure Cure™ water sanitizers are optional water purification systems installed at the factory. They eradicate germs in the water that are resistant to chlorine-based chemicals using high intensity

UV light.

Both water sanitizers work automatically during the spa’s filtration cycle. We recommend increasing filtration time setting from F2 (two hours twice a day) to F6 (six hours twice a day). See page 18 or page 21 for setting filtration cycle.

Both water sanitizers are virtually maintenance-free. Once a year the UV light needs to be replaced. See page

41 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.

Set the spa’s filtration time for “F4” (described on page 18 and page 21). This activates the ozonator and produces the ozone gas. Note: Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load.

Cal Clarity II Bromine Generator

The Cal Clarity II 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.

Do not use the Cal Clarity II bromine generator with a UV sanitation device.

Starting the Spa with Fresh Water

This applies to spa owners with the Cal Clarity II bromine generator ONLY.

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.

Cal Clarity II Settings

Before entering the spa, the bromine level should be tested. The bromine generator can only produce bromine when: the spa is running,

Bromicharge™ has been added, and the bromine generator is in the proper mode.

1 . ON / Maintenance Mode

Press the Boost button briefly while the jets are running. The system will activate in Maintenance Mode and the word ON will appear on the display.

2 . Adjusting the Maintenance Mode

To adjust the Maintenance Mode bromine level, press and hold the Prog button for two seconds. A number will flash showing the Maintenance Mode bromine level. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to raise or lower it. After seven seconds, the number will stop flashing, meaning the bromine level is active. Press the Boost button to return Maintenance Mode.

3 . Boost Mode

The Boost Mode is used each time you use the spa.

Press the Boost button once to activate the Boost

Mode. A number with a dash before and after it will flash for about five seconds showing the boost level.

This number corresponds to the number of bathers.

While the number is flashing, press the UP or DOWN buttons to raise or lower it. When the number stops flashing, the system will remain in Boost Mode.

4. Using the Diagnostic Mode

Press and hold the Prog button for two seconds. When the flashing number appears, press the Prog button a second time. An animation will appear, and within 10 seconds the TDS level will be shown.

5 . Turning OFF

Press and hold the Boost button for two seconds. The system will shut off and the word OFF will appear on the display.

Operating Modes

Maintenance Mode

Maintenance Mode is the “everyday” mode and is automatically on when the system is activated. Its primary function is to keep the bromine level at a stable and acceptable range when the spa is not being used.

Boost Mode

Use the Boost Mode each time you use the spa.

Boost Mode increases the bromine generation rate to attack pollutants in the water. Activating the Boost

Mode when you enter the spa will prevent inadequate bromine levels and will regenerate your bromine to the proper residual level.

Diagnostic Mode

The Diagnostic Mode indicates the Bromicharge™ salt level of your spa. This is a useful tool when adding

BromiCharge™ to the water. Keep the TDS level indicators in the green zone and value between 11 and 14 for optimal performance.

Testing the Water

In addition to testing the water for levels of calcium, alkalinity, and pH, you also need to test for bromine and total dissolved solids (TDS).

See page 28 for instructions on testing the water and for Ideal Water Chemistry levels.

The bromine level should be maintained between 3-5 ppm and can be tested with a DPD test kit, or bromine test strips, found at any spa/pool store.

If the bromine generator does not produce enough bromine, make sure the recommended level of 1440 ppm of Bromicharge™ salt is still present in the spa water. The bromine generator can test the water using the Diagnostic mode. This is described on the next page.

If the bromine level is too high, remove a small amount of spa water until the bromine level is between 3-5 ppm. For more immediate results, dilution with fresh water will lower the bromine level.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. It is far less expensive to fix water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive filtration times, or by water replacement.

See the section “Water Clarity” for more information on cleaning your filter.

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.

2.

Set the spa to Sleep Mode. (See instructions on page 17 or page 20 for changing modes.)

Following the water quality instructions starting on page 27, 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.

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.

Jet Removal and

Replacement

Jets can be easily removed for cleaning.

Grasp the outer rim of the jet and turn it counterclockwise. 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. Do not overtighten the jet.

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.

Genuine Cal Spas Parts & Accessories

This Limited Warranty is void if Cal Spas (the

“Manufacturer”) or its designated representative determines that the spa has been subjected to damage or failure due to installation of aftermarket parts that are not genuine Cal Spas branded parts and accessories. This disclaimer includes, but is not limited to filters, UV bulbs, ozone systems, salt systems, repair parts and other accessories. Genuine Cal Spas brand parts and accessories are built to our highest

57

58 standards of quality, durability and performance, and they are designed to work with your Spa to ensure optimal performance and function.

Performance

This warranty begins on the date of delivery of the spa, but in no event later than one year from the date of manufacture. To obtain service in the event of a defect covered by this Limited Warranty, notify your Cal Spa dealer or Cal Spas (the “Manufacturer”) as soon as possible and use all reasonable means to protect the spa from further damage. Upon proof of purchase, a designated service representative will correct the defect subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Limited Warranty. There will be no charge for parts or labor to repair the defect, although providing access to affect the repair is your responsibility as the spa owner. Freight charges for replacement parts is the responsibility of the spa owner. You may be assessed reasonable repairman travel mileage charges. In the event that the spa is removed to a repair facility for repair and reinstalled, the cost of removal and reinstallation will be your responsibility as the spa owner. If the Manufacturer determines that repair of the covered defect is not feasible, it reserves the right to provide a replacement spa instead, equal in value to the purchase price of the original spa. 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 (the

“Manufacturer”) 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 the insulating cover, 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
