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 Cal 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 3˚C 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
6˚C 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.
