Low TA can be corrected by adding Cal Spas “pH-Alkalinity Up”. If the CH is too low, add Cal Spas “Liquid Hardness Increaser”. If the TA is too high, the pH level will tend to be too high and may be difficult to bring down.
Do not use a floater. When you begin with fresh water, add 2 ounces of Cal Spas Go Brom. Open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed. This is your base bromine level as the tablets will take a while to dissolve.
Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. The only shock you should use is Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock. It is an easy way to maintain either chlorine or bromine chemical plans. For best results use the directions below.
Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise, unscrewing the bottom threads, then pulling it up and out. Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of Cal Spas “Liquid Filter Cleaner” to the bucket of water.

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. Inground Spas LTR20111002, Rev.
Cleaning and Maintenance Removing and Reseating the Pillows You can remove the pillows for cleaning and maintenance quickly and easily. This method works for all types of pillows. Grab the lower edge of the pillow with both hands firmly and pull up. As you do this, the pillow inserts will pop out of the holes.
Draining Your Spa Your spa should be drained every four to six months, and refilled with fresh tap water. The following is the recommended method for draining your spa. Turn off the power at the breaker. Remove all filters. Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the drain fitting (if equipped). Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain to.
Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying Vinyl and Leather Cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner is specifically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage. It ac- complishes this without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants.
