Maintenance Schedule - Cal Spas LTR20101001 Owner's Manual

12. Use Sodium Bromide Test Strips (not Bromine) and
adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates
to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS / conductivity level).
13. Add 2 oz. of Cal Spas "Oxidizer Shock" to help
burn out impurities in fill water.
14. Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise
until the LED display reads 10.
15. This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank.
16. Set the filtration cycle to "continuous" (F-C) for
the first 24 hours.
17. Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to
desired temperature.
Adjusting The Proper Bromine Levels
1. After start up, decrease the filtration cycle to F-4
and monitor the bromine level until it is within the
recommended range.
2. Use bromine test strips to achieve a 3-5 ppm
recommended level.
Note: It can take several days for the bromine level
to stabilize because the fill water that was used
sometimes contains contaminants that need to be
neutralized, thereby using up the initial bromine that
is generated.

Maintenance Schedule
