Water Quality Maintenance
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 level).
Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to help burn
out impurities in ll water.
Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise
until the LED display reads 10.
This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank.
Set the ltration cycle to “continuous” (F-C) for the
rst 24 hours.
Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to desired
temperature.
Adjusting The Proper Bromine Levels
After start up, decrease the ltration cycle to F-4
and monitor the bromine level until it is within the
recommended range.
Use bromine test strips to achieve a 3-5 ppm
recommended level.
Note: It can take several days for the bromine level to
stabilize because the ll water that was used sometimes
contains contaminants that need to be neutralized,
thereby using up the initial bromine that is generated.

Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the
dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved.
The common maintenance setting for an average
bather load is #4.
When changing the setting, use bromine test strips to
determine when you have reached the level you want.
Once a Week
Test spa water with bromine test strip.
Based on test strip readings:
Adjust alkalinity if necessary.

Increase / decrease bromine production with
dial if required.

spa.
