out. Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of Cal Spas “Liquid 2. Filter Cleaner” to the bucket of water. Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare filter to use in the spa while the dirty filter is being deep cleaned. This way, you can rotate the filters and both will last longer. Twist off the tablet tube and set it aside3. Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours.4. Spray the filter with a water hose. Spray each pleat carefully.5. Put fresh bromine in the tablet tube (if you use it as a sanitizer) and twist it back on top of the filter.6. Reinstall the filter. Do not overtighten.7. Bather Load “Bather Load” is the term used to describe the number of people using a spa, combined with the length of usage, and the frequency of usage. All these factors have a great effect on the spa water. The higher the bather load, the more chemicals need to be added and a longer filtration time will be needed. All versions of the Cal Spas Clear Water Plan are designed for spas with average bather load (3 to 4 people, 15 minutes of usage, three times a week at 100 degrees) If your bather load exceeds these guidelines, and you experience water quality problems, increase the amount of filtration first, (go to the next higher filtration number) then if water quality is still not adequate, consult the advice of your Cal Spas dealer for additional chemical or system recommendations. Be sure to give them your bather load information. Starting the Spa with Fresh Water We recommend you use Cal Spas chemicals only. Other brands of chemicals may have similar names and/or usage descriptions but due to manufacturing differences, use of other chemicals can increase the likelihood of under- or over-dosing the spa chemicals. Damage to the spa or spa’s components from improper chemicals or chemical usage is not covered under the spa’s warranty. Prior to filling a spa for the first time, or after a routine draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to extend water life and performance. As with all chemical dosages listed in these Clear Water Plans, start-up dosages are intended for 500-gallon spas. Please adjust the chemical dosages to the capacity of your particular spa. Clean the surface of the spa with Cal Spas “Multi-1. Purpose Cleaner”. Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas “Fast Sheen” 2. to the acrylic surface. Fill the spa to the proper water level with normal 3. tap water. (Do not use soft water.) Use test strip and balance the spa water.4. Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range is • 80-120ppm). Adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to 7.8).• Pour in 16 oz of Cal Spas “Metal Protector” in the 5. center of the spa. Add Stain and Scale Prevention.6. Add either chlorine or bromine (but not both).7. Chlorine: Add two tablespoons of Cal Spas “Chorine Granules” to the spa water. Bromine: Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Go Brom” to establish a bromine base. Add 2 Cal Spas “Bromine Tablets” to bromine floater. Set floater opening at #2. Turn on jets for 15 minutes. Leave spa uncov8. ered during this time. Put cover on spa and allow to heat up to desired 9. temperature. 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 about six inches from the top when the spa is not being used. Maintenance Schedule Each time you refill the spa Follow the section “Starting the Spa with Fresh Water”. Prior to each use Test the spa water using either test strips a reagent test kit. Adjust chemical levels as necessary. Once a week Test the spa water using either test strips a reagent test kit. Adjust chemical levels as necessary. Once a month Deep clean your spa’s filter. (Follow filter cleaning instruction at beginning of Clear Water Plan) Every two to four months Drain and clean your spa with “Multi-Purpose Cleaner”. Polish the acrylic surface with “Fast Sheen”. Clean and treat spa cover, pillows, and Cal Select cabinet (if equipped) with “Cover Protector”. Refill your spa, following the section “Starting the Spa with Fresh Water”. If you are using the Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine Generator Clear Water Plan, add new sodium bromide to the water. Once a year Replace filter cartridges if the pleats appear frayed. If you use the Cal Zone Quest 2000 Ozonator, you will need to replace the ozone cartridge. We recommend that your spa water be changed every 4 to 6 months. You may find 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. Del Zone Eclipse Ozonator The Del Zone Eclipse ozone generator releases ozone into the spa water. You will still need to test for chlorine and occasionally replenish it to return the chlorine level to the baseline. This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Del Zone Eclipse ozonator. Th...
