Bromine Generator Clear Water Plan

This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Cal Clarity Automatic
Bromine Generator. The chemical references are designed for Cal Spas chemicals only. Note: Following these
instructions is very important to ensure proper operation of your Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine Generator.
Start Up
1. Clean surface of spa with Cal Spas "Multi-
Purpose Cleaner".
2. Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas "Fast
Sheen" to the acrylic surface.
3. Fill spa to proper water level with normal
tap water. (Do not use soft water.)
4. Use Bromine Test Strip and balance the
spa water:
• Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable
range is 80-120 ppm)
• Then adjust pH if necessary (between
7.2 to 7.8)
5. Pour in 16 oz. of Cal Spas "Metal Protector"
to center of spa.
6. Test for TDS (total dissolved solids, also known as conductivity) .
• The ideal range is 50 to 300 ppm.
• TDS / conductivity must be less than 500 to start with.
7. Phosphate level should be below 200 ppb. Remove phosphates if necessary.
8. Determine the gallons capacity of the spa. Be accurate as this determines the amount of TRU BLU that will
be added. Consult the Pre-Delivery Guide for spa gallons.
9. Power up the spa and make sure all the spa's pumps are set to high speed. Turn the dial on the face of the
Cal Clarity Bromine Generator to "OFF".
10. Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the spa, one 2 lb bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100 US gallons
(370 liters) of water. DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH!
Note: Each bottle of TRU BLU will raise TDS / conductivity amount approximately 500 ppm in a 500 gallon
spa.
11. Allow spa to run for 15 minutes so the TRU BLU can dissolve completely before proceeding to the next
step.

2. Based on the Test Strip reading:
• Adjust total alkalinity, then the pH if needed.
• Add 1 tablespoon of Chlorine Granules (if
needed).
3. Add 2 oz of Oxidizer Shock to spa. Run Spa for 15
minutes with cover off.
4. Replace cover.
