Plan

Starting the Spa with Fresh Water

Clear Water

We recommend you use Cal Spas chemicals only. Other brands of chemicals may have similar names and/or usage descriptions but due to manufacturing differences, use of other chemicals can increase the likelihood of under- or over-dosing the spa chemi- cals. Damage to the spa or spa’s components from improper chemicals or chemical usage is not covered under the spa’s warranty.

Prior to filling a spa for the first time, or after a rou- tine draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to extend water life and performance.

As with all chemical dosages listed in these Clear Water Plans, start-up dosages are intended for 500- gallon spas. Please adjust the chemical dosages to the capacity of your particular spa.

1.Clean the surface of the spa with Cal Spas “Multi- Purpose Cleaner”.

2.Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas “Fast Sheen” to the acrylic surface.

3.Fill the spa to the proper water level with normal tap water. (Do not use soft water.)

4.Use test strip and balance the spa water.

•Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range is

80-120ppm).

•Adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to 7.8).

5.Pour in 16 oz of Cal Spas “Metal Protector” in the center of the spa.

6.Add Stain and Scale Prevention.

7.Add either chlorine or bromine (but not both).

Chlorine: Add two tablespoons of Cal Spas “Chorine Granules” to the spa water.

Bromine: Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Go Brom” to estab- lish a bromine base.

Add 2 Cal Spas “Bromine Tablets” to bro- mine floater.

8.Turn on jets for 15 minutes. Leave spa uncov- ered during this time.

9.Put cover on spa and allow to heat up to desired temperature.

Water level is very important to the operation of your spa.. If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will not operate properly.. The water level should be about six inches from the top when the spa is not being used..
