Testing the 240 Volt GFCI Breaker
Test the GFCI breaker prior to first use and periodically when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker follow these instructions (spa should be operating):
1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut off.
2. Reset the GFCI 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
1. Inspect the spa equipment.
Inspect all plumbing connections in the equipment area of your spa.
• 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 113 for a description of drain valves.)
Never run the spa with the gate valves closed or without water circulating for long periods of time.

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. Never try to pull the filter cartridge while the spa is running in low or high speed (i.e., any speed).
If you have a skimmer like this:
Remove the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip the filter by the handle and unscrew it from the canister.
If you have a skimmer like this:
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.

• Spoked cap

• 75 square feet filtration
• Smooth 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.
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.
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. You may fill your spa with well water www.calspas.com
