Cleaning Your Spa; Changing The Uv Lamp - Cal Spas F-1222 Owner's Manual

Cleaning Your Spa

Spa Cover and Pillows
Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying
a vinyl and leather cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Use a product that is specifically
designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage without leaving an
oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants.
Warning: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on spa covers or pillows. These products are generally
oil-based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are difficult to correct.
Spa Shell
Each time you drain your spa, before you refill it you should clean your spa shell with an all-purpose cleaner
and apply a coat of surface protectant.
Use a low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner specifically formulated to clean the spa without damaging its
acrylic finish.
Use a non-oil based surface protectant that is specifically formulated to protect the spa's finish from the
chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.

Changing the UV Lamp

CAUTION: Always turn off power to the spa at the GFCI prior to
any maintenance .
Note: Periodically you should the check the light on the transformer for the UV light
system. The transformer is mounted in the spa equipment area close to the system
control box. When it is operating normally, the light will be green. When it requires
maintenance, it will be red. This usually happens when the UV lamp needs replacing.
The UV lamp is a wearable part that needs replacing about once a year.
