Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Gas Heater Hook up

Ultimate Fitness Series spa owners may buy and install a separate gas heater and pump for use with their spa. This option may be purchased separately from your local distributor.

Spa owners are responsible for ensuring installation of their gas heater conforms to local, state, and federal regulations. The electrical and gas installation must be performed by contractors and approved by a local building / electrical inspector. Failure to do so may void your warranty.

All Ultimate Fitness Series spas are plumbed with a gas heater ready union located inside the cabinet at either the front or rear, depending on the model. (See the figures below and at right.) Properly installed, they can be attached to an external gas heater. Customers are responsible for creating openings in the panel to accommodate the lines and wiring. The gas heater should be located not less than 10 feet and no more than 25 feet away from the spa.

To connect the plumbing for an external gas heater:

1.Disconnect the ready union.

2.Cut off both sides of the union and discard it.

3.Create two 2½” diameter holes through the spa panel.

4.Use two 2” couplings to connect the hoses to 10’ - 15’ 2-3/8” diameter PVC lines.

5.Connect PVC lines to the gas heater.

GFCI specifications

Cal Spas GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is an essential safety feature incorporated in Cal Spas hot tubs and spas, designed to protect users from electrical shocks and enhance overall safety during relaxation. This advanced technology monitors the electrical current flowing through the spa's components, providing peace of mind for families and individuals enjoying their hydrotherapy experience.

One of the main features of the Cal Spas GFCI is its quick response time. The GFCI continuously measures the current balance between the hot and neutral wires. If it detects an imbalance, potentially caused by faulty wiring or a short circuit, it immediately trips the circuit, cutting off power to the unit within a fraction of a second. This rapid response significantly minimizes the risk of electrical accidents, making it a vital component for any outdoor or indoor spa setup.

Another key characteristic of the Cal Spas GFCI is its user-friendly design. The GFCI outlet is often equipped with a reset button, which allows users to quickly restore power once the issue has been addressed. This feature eliminates the need for complicated maintenance procedures, ensuring that users can enjoy their spa without frequent interruptions.

Incorporating state-of-the-art technology, Cal Spas GFCI is designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments. The durable exterior of the GFCI unit protects it from exposure to moisture, debris, and other potential hazards, leading to increased longevity and reliability. Moreover, the GFCI meets the highest safety standards and regulations, providing confidence to consumers that they are investing in a safe product.

Another highlight of the Cal Spas GFCI is its compatibility with a variety of hot tub configurations. This flexibility allows it to work seamlessly with different Cal Spas models, delivering consistent safety features across the entire range. Additionally, installation is straightforward, with many users opting for professional installation to ensure it is set up correctly.

In summary, Cal Spas GFCI enhances the safety of hot tub and spa experiences through its quick trip response, durable design, user-friendly functionalities, and compatibility with various models. By integrating this technology, Cal Spas demonstrates its commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for relaxation and rejuvenation.
