can accumulate dirt, oil, and calcium, causing a rough feel and unsightly scum lines. Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen

is a non-oil based wax that is specifically formulated to protect the spa’s finish from the chemicals and minerals

associated with normal spa use.

The most effective solution to minimize cleaning time is prevention. When the following steps are followed, the spa’s

finish will actually start to resist most

of the elements that cause calcium build-up and make scum line clean-up easier.

Prior to Spa Start-Up and

Refilling

1.Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly to the spa’s finish.

2.Wipe clean with a soft cloth.

3.Repeat on heavily calcified areas.

4.Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing often in a bucket of clean water.

5.Allow the spa to dry completely.

6.Apply a coat of Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen to the spa’s entire finish with a soft cloth or sponge.

7.Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery.

8.Buff clean with a soft cloth, rotating frequently.

IMPORTANT: Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen should not be used on spas full of water. Only apply to clean, cool, dry surfaces. Incorrect product usage may cause water clarity issues.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Filtration

Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. Regardless of what some people may think, 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.

Cal Spas™ filtration system draws contaminated water through the exclusive Bio-Clean™ filter removing debris from the water. It then pumps the newly cleaned water back into the spa through various jets. Spas equipped with the optional Quest 2000 Ozonator will also receive ozone injection into the filtered water for further protection against contaminants during filtration cycles. Filtration

Cleaning and Maintenance

also ensures that chemicals are mixed thoroughly through the water, increasing performance.

Filtration starts on electronically controlled spas as soon as the pumps are primed and water flow is steady. As the flow of water goes through the filter, dirt and debris is removed and accumulated in the filter cartridge. As the filter cartridge accumulates dirt and debris, water flow is restricted and jet performance is reduced. This can cause your spa to not run or heat effectively.

Clean your filter regularly and replace as needed.

Filter Cleaning

Your new Cal Spa has been designed for quick and easy filter maintenance. The filter cartridge should be cleaned once a week. These instructions apply to both dual and single filtration systems.

1.Turn the power off at the breaker.

2.Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise and unscrewing the bottom threads. Then pull it up and out.

3.Clean the filter with a garden hose as follows:

a.Hold the filter vertically.

b.Spray the filter cartridges with a pressure nozzle, starting from the top and spraying down each pleat.

c.Turn the filter cartridge over and repeat Step

3b.

d.Deep clean filter cartridge every month. Use only a Cal Spas™-approved filter-cleaning chemical.

Exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter Cartridge

The filter cartridge is designed to remove dirt, sand,

minerals, phosphates, bather waste and other solids from the spa. Unfortunately, some spa owners fail to include

filter cleaning as part of their chemical maintenance

plan. Filters accumulate debris and become prime areas for bacteria growth.

The Cal Spas™ exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter is the only

antibacterial filter cartridge on the market today. Having a filter cartridge that prevents bacteria growth is added protection for those times you forget to clean the filter. We recommend that you only replace your spa’s filter cartridge with a Bio-Clean™ filter cartridge for ensured

protection and peace of mind.
