Basic Spa Information - Cal Spas LTR20051000 Owner's Manual

Read This First!
• Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a physician before using the spa.
• Persons using medications should consult a physician before using the spa since some medications may
induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
Hyperthermia Danger
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to 6˚F above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F (or 2˚C to 4˚C
above 37˚C). While hyperthermia has many health benefits, it is important not to allow your body's core
temperature to rise above 103˚F (39.5˚C). Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia may include:
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub
• Unawareness of impending hazard
• Fetal damage to pregnant women
• Physical inability to exit the spa
• Unconsciousness
WARNING! The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

Basic Spa Information

The following operating and maintenance instructions are very important and must be followed carefully. With
the proper care and maintenance, your Cal Spa will provide you with years of satisfaction and performance.
Do not be afraid to push buttons or turn knobs to learn about your new Cal Spa, as it is built with quality
materials and excellent craftsmanship.
Your new Cal Spa has been engineered with a high-powered water pump that pushes water through various
therapy jets, which will relax even the tightest muscles. In addition to the water pressure, you can add air into
the spa water with air venturi handles located seat-side that increase the intensity of your massage.
The filtering of this spa is very important. This alone will cut down on cleaning time and use of excess
chemicals. We have pre-programmed two filter cycles of two hours for every twelve hours. This can be
increased to six hours every twelve hours through the topside control panel.
Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!
• Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining your set temperature.
• Covering your spa will protect your spa's finish from the sun's ultraviolet rays.
• You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage.
• Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa.
Your new Cal Spa comes equipped with an electric heater. Following the directions listed below will ensure the
most efficient operation:
• Set the spa's operating temperature within 5˚F of the desired usage temperature and raise the temperature
one or two hours prior to usage.
