    Diverter Knobs Diverter knobs are 1” and 2” knobs located around the top of your spa. They allow you to divert water through jets from one side of the spa to the other, or in most cases from floor jets to wall jets. This is accomplished by rotating the diverter knob to the left (counterclockwise), decreasing the amount of water flow through a section of jets.
  • Page 25: Water Clarity

    Water Clarity This section is intended for new spa owners with no experience with water chemistry. Everyone’s experience with maintaining water quality is different, but there are some general concepts you need to know. Water maintenance is not difficult, although it requires regular attention. The most important thing to understand about taking care of your spa water is that preventive action is much easier than correcting water quality issues.
  • Page 26: Testing And Adjusting Spa Water

    Testing and Adjusting Spa Water You have two types of testing methods to choose from: • The reagent test kit is a method which provides a high level of accuracy. It is available in either liquid or tablet form. • Test strips are a convenient testing method commonly used by spa owners.
  • Page 27: Sanitation

    Sanitation Sanitizers kill bacteria and other organic waste by breaking them down to non-harmful levels and are filtered out. Before you fill your spa, you need to decide which chemical sanitizer you wish to use. Consult your Cal Spas dealer for the right decision with regards to your lifestyle and spa usage. We recommend either bromine or chlorine as your sanitizer.
  • Page 28: Bather Load

    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.
  • Page 29: Ozonator

    a second filter cycle can be enabled. Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load. See instructions for setting filtration cycles on page 17. The water sanitizer is virtually maintenance-free. Once a year the UV light needs to be replaced. See page 33 for instructions.

  • Page 33: Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)

    Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining) In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always have your spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This will help reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and your spa’s equipment.
  • Page 34: Cleaning And Replacing The Filter

    Cleaning and Replacing the Filter Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. It is far less expensive to fix water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive filtration times, or by water replacement.
