jets, which will relax even the tightest muscles. In addition
to the water pressure, you can add air into the spa water
with air venturi handles located seat-side that increase
the intensity of your massage.
The ltering of this spa is very important. It will minimize
cleaning time and the amount of chemicals needed
to keep your spa water balanced. The two daily pre-
programmed lter cycles of two hours in duration can be
increased to six hour cycles if the need arises. This can
be accomplished through the topside control panel.
IMPORTANT: Keep the spa covered when not in use!
Covered spas use less electricity while maintaining
a set temperature.
Covering your spa will protect your spa’s nish 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.
Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater.
Following the directions listed below will ensure the most
efcient 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.
The lter needs to be cleaned or changed on a regular
basis. This process takes only a few minutes and
the result is increased water clarity and equipment
longevity.
Water level is very important to the operation of your
spa. If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will
not operate properly. The water level should be to the
middle of the skimmer area when the spa is not being
used.
We recommend that your spa water be changed every
4 to 6 months. You may nd the need to change your
spa water more frequently with heavy use. When empty,
your spa should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner,
such as Cal Spas™ All Surface Cleaner, and then rinsed
thoroughly.
See the section “Cleaning and Maintaining Your Spa” for
instructions on draining your spa.
When lling your spa, always ll through the skimmer
lter canister. Use only regular tap water.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOFT WATER.
