In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of
exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which
may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or spa)
by children under 5 years of age. Your Caldera
Standard for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a general practice,
your local Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is obtained
for the installation of an electrical circuit. Your CALDERA dealer can provide information on which permits may be
required.

To check the water chemical status for Caldera Spas Marino:

1. Test weekly for:
- Total Alkalinity (TA)
- pH
- Calcium Hardness (CH)
- Sanitizer (chlorine)

2. Use one of two recommended methods:
- Reagent Test Kit (more accurate)
- Test Strips (convenient but sensitive to heat and moisture)

3. Follow directions carefully on the test kit or strips for accurate results.

The spa is cloudy after doing all the chemicals. Can’t figure out why? What do I do?

    Pre-Delivery Instructions ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS electInG oltaGe The PALATINO, MARINO and VANTO models require a 230 volt power supply. The TARINO, CELIO and AVENTINE may be converted from 115 volts to 230 volts. When the spa is connected to 115 volts, 20 amp, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat only when the thermostat is calling for heat.

The power cord is wrapped in bubble packaging for shipping and can be found inside the equipment compartment. Disconnect the cord from the control box, feed through the electrical cutout then reconnect to the control box.
