Water Clarity

The Cal Clarity II bromine generator automatically generates and releases free bromine into the spa water. You will still need to test for bromine and occasionally adjust it to return the bromine level to the baseline.

Do not use the Cal Clarity II bromine generator with a UV sanitation device.

Starting the Spa with Fresh Water

This applies to spa owners with the Cal Clarity II bromine generator ONLY.

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

1.Fill the spa to the proper water level with normal tap water. (Do not use soft water.) See page 9 for filling instructions.

2.Turn on the spa and allow it to prime. See page 11 for priming instructions..

3.Turn on the jets.

4.Press the Boost button to turn on the Cal Clarity II system. The red

ON light should appear steady. If it blinks, make sure the jets are running.
