MAINTENANCE

NOTE: When removing the water from jet openings, you may notice suction coming from another jet. With the help of a second person, block off any suction from the other jet using a large rag or cloth. This will help pull out the water that is trapped deep inside the main line.

4.Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.

5.Pour Propylene glycol anti-freeze into the filter suction fitttings and jet outlets. Add enough anti-freeze until the liquid starts to come out of the bottom drain.

CAUTION: Use only Propylene glycol as your anti-freeze. This is non-toxic. NEVER use automobile anti-freeze since it is toxic.

6.Close the spa cover and fasten the cover tie downs. If your area recieves a lot of snow or ice, it is recommended to cover the spa cover with two pieces of plywood forming a pitched roof top to prevent snow and ice build-up. Secure a plastic sheet or tarp over the spa cover and one over the plywood.

WARNING: When not in use, the spa must be covered with an insulating spa cover. Damage caused by either sun exposure or freezing is not covered under warranty.

7.In the pump side of the equipment control bay, remove the pump drain plug located on the front of the pump housings. Allow all water to drain out. Place the drain plug in a ziplock bag and store near the pump. Replace the drain plugs on start-up. (Refer to the Figure above)

8.Unscrew the suction/discharge pump and heater unions and allow the water to drain. Leave union loose. NOTE: Tighten unions before filling spa.

9.Replace the equipment and pump doors and secure with screws.

ACTS INVALIDATING WARRANTY

The limited warranty is void if the Caldera® spa has been improperly installed, subjected to alteration, misuse, or abuse, or if any repairs on the spa are attempted by anyone other than an authorized representative of Watkins® Manufacturing Corporation. Alteration shall include any component or plumbing change, electrical conversion, or the addition of any non-approved sanitation or water purification device or heating system which contributes to component or unit failure or unsafe operating system. Misuse and abuse shall include any operation of the spa other than in accordance with Watkins® Manufacturing Corporation printed instructions, or use of the spa in an application for which it is not designed; specifically: use of the spa in a non-residential application; damage caused by operation* of the spa at water temperatures outside the range of 35°F and 120 °F; damage caused by a dirty, clogged or calcified filter cartridge; damage to the spa surface caused by the use of tri- chloro chlorine, BCDMH, misuse of chemical tablets in a floater, acid, or any other spa chemicals or spa surface cleaners which are not recommended by Watkins® Manufacturing Corporation; damage caused by allowing undissolved spa sanitizing chemicals to lie on the spa surface (no spa surface material can withstand this kind of abuse); damage to components or spa surface caused by improper water chemistry maintenance; and damage to the spa surface caused by leaving the spa uncovered while empty of water and in direct exposure to sunlight (this may cause solar heating distress in warm weather regions). These are considered abuses and may invalidate this warranty.

*Operation of the spa does not mean “use” of the spa! Watkins® Manufacturing Corporation does not recommend using the spa if the water temperature is above or below the spa’s control panel temperature range.

Highland Series specifications

The Caldera Highland Series is an exceptional line of outdoor gear designed specifically for adventurers who seek the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and durability. Crafted with a deep understanding of the challenges faced in various environments, this series stands out for its innovative technologies and user-centric features.

One of the hallmark characteristics of the Caldera Highland Series is its use of advanced waterproof yet breathable materials. The outer fabric is engineered with a cutting-edge membrane that effectively repels water, keeping the user dry in unexpected downpours. Furthermore, this membrane allows moisture from within to escape, ensuring that wearers remain comfortable during intense physical activity. This feature is invaluable for those trekking through diverse climates, providing both protection and breathability.

In addition to weather resistance, the Highland Series includes an innovative insulation technology. Utilizing lightweight yet efficient insulation means that users can stay warm without the bulk associated with traditional outerwear. This is particularly important for those who prioritize both warmth and mobility during outdoor excursions. Designed for layering, the Highland Series garments fit seamlessly with other layers, enhancing versatility for various conditions.

Another notable aspect of the Caldera Highland Series is its attention to detail in design. The garments boast articulated joints and ergonomic cuts, allowing for an unrestricted range of motion. This design philosophy is particularly beneficial for climbers, hikers, and skiers who need gear that moves with them rather than against them.

Additionally, the series embraces sustainability, incorporating recycled and eco-friendly materials into its production processes. By prioritizing responsible manufacturing practices, Caldera not only focuses on performance but also on environmental stewardship, appealing to the growing number of eco-conscious consumers.

Finally, the Highland Series is equipped with strategic pocket placements and functional features such as adjustable hoods and cuffs, ensuring practicality without sacrificing style. With a focus on performance-driven functionality, durable craftsmanship, and a commitment to sustainability, the Caldera Highland Series offers outdoor enthusiasts a premier choice for their adventures, no matter where the journey leads. Whether hiking rugged trails or navigating snowy slopes, this series equips you with the reliability and comfort needed to conquer the great outdoors.
