  • Page 39: 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 40: 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.

  • Page 46: 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 47: Cleaning Your Spa

    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.
