Cleaning and Maintenance
can accumulate dirt, oil, and calcium, causing a rough
feel and unsightly scum lines. Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen
is a non-oil based wax that is specically formulated to
protect the spa’s nish from the chemicals and minerals
associated with normal spa use.
The most effective solution to minimize
cleaning time is prevention. When the
following steps are followed, the spa’s
nish will actually start to resist most
of the elements that cause calcium
build-up and make scum line clean-up
easier.
Prior to Spa Start-Up and
Relling
Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly to 1.
the spa’s nish.
Wipe clean with a soft cloth.2.
Repeat on heavily calcied areas.3.
Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing 4.
often in a bucket of clean water.
Allow the spa to dry completely.5.
Apply a coat of Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen to the spa’s 6.
entire nish with a soft cloth or sponge.
Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery.7.
Buff clean with a soft cloth, rotating frequently.8.
IMPORTANT: Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen should not be
used on spas full of water. Only apply to clean, cool,
dry surfaces. Incorrect product usage may cause water
clarity issues.
Cleaning and Replacing the
Filter
Filtration
Filtration is one of the most important steps you can
take to ensure clean, clear water. Regardless of what
some people may think, it is far less expensive to x
water clarity problems by ltering your spa than by using
excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive ltration
times, or by water replacement.
Cal Spas™ ltration system draws contaminated water
through the exclusive Bio-Clean™ lter removing debris
from the water. It then pumps the newly cleaned water
back into the spa through various jets. Spas equipped
with the optional Quest 2000 Ozonator will also receive
ozone injection into the ltered water for further protection
against contaminants during ltration cycles. Filtration
also ensures that chemicals are mixed thoroughly
through the water, increasing performance.
Filtration starts on electronically controlled spas as soon
as the pumps are primed and water ow is steady. As
the ow of water goes through the lter, dirt and debris is
removed and accumulated in the lter cartridge. As the
lter cartridge accumulates dirt and debris, water ow
is restricted and jet performance is reduced. This can
cause your spa to not run or heat effectively.
Clean your lter regularly and replace as needed.
Filter Cleaning
Your new Cal Spa has been designed for quick and easy
lter maintenance. The lter cartridge should be cleaned
once a week. These instructions apply to both dual and
single ltration systems.
Turn the power off at the breaker.1.
Remove the lter by turning it counterclockwise and 2.
unscrewing the bottom threads. Then pull it up and
out.
Clean the lter with a garden hose as follows:3.
Hold the lter vertically.a.
Spray the lter cartridges with a pressure nozzle, b.
starting from the top and spraying down each
pleat.
Turn the lter cartridge over and repeat Step c.
3b.
Deep clean lter cartridge every month. Use d.
only a Cal Spas™-approved lter-cleaning
chemical.
Exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter Cartridge
The lter cartridge is designed to remove dirt, sand,
minerals, phosphates, bather waste and other solids from
the spa. Unfortunately, some spa owners fail to include
lter cleaning as part of their chemical maintenance
plan. Filters accumulate debris and become prime areas
for bacteria growth.
The Cal Spas™ exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter is the only
antibacterial lter cartridge on the market today. Having
a lter cartridge that prevents bacteria growth is added
protection for those times you forget to clean the lter.
We recommend that you only replace your spa’s lter
cartridge with a Bio-Clean™ lter cartridge for ensured
protection and peace of mind.
