Operating Your Spa

Preset Filter Cycles

There are two filter cycles per day. The start and end times of each cycle are programmable. To program, set the time as instructed above, then press “MODE/PROG” to advance to the next setting (or to exit after the last setting). The default filter cycles are as follows:

Option

This is an optional feature. Press the “OPTION” button to turn the optional equipment on and off. If left on, the equipment will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.

Light

Press the “LIGHT” button to turn the spa light on and off and to shift between dim and bright settings if your light is dimmable. On dim, the control panel will show the center circle plus one quarter of the light beams. Half of the light beams will show on medium brightness, and all of the light beams will show on bright.

Invert

Press the “INVERT” button to change the numbers in the display to read upside down. Another press returns the display to the right-side-up position. This enables you to read the display while you are in the spa.

Locking the Panel

To lock the panel:

•Press “TIME”, “JETS 1”, and the “UP” button within three seconds. When locked, the panel will display “LOCK”. All buttons are frozen except the “TIME” button.

To unlock the panel:

•Press “TIME”, “JETS 1” then the “DOWN” button within three seconds.

Setting the Temperature Lock

To activate the temperature lock:

•Press the “UP” or “DOWN” button, “TIME”, “JETS 1”, then the “UP” button within three seconds. The panel will display “TEMP LOCK” when the set temperature is locked.

To unlock the set temperature:

•Press the “UP” or “DOWN” button, “TIME”, “JETS 1”, and then the “DOWN” button.

Circulation Pump

This is an optional feature. The circulation pump will come on when the system is checking temperature,

during filter cycles, during freeze conditions, or when

another pump is on.

•The first filter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00

AM and operates the pump until 10:00 AM. The

“FILTER 1” indicator icon will light when filter 1 is running.

•The second filter cycle is automatically activated at

8:00 PM and operates the pump until 10:00 PM. The

“FILTER 2” indicator icon will light when filter 2 is running.

The pump and the ozone generator will run during filtration. At the start of each filter cycle, the blower will run on highest speed for 30 seconds to clean out the air channels. The lowest speed of pump 2 and pump 3 will run for five minutes. In the event of power loss or shut down, the time of day will need to be reset for filter cycles to run according to your desired programming.

Clean up Cycle

When the pump or blower is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump or blower is turned off or times out. The pump and the ozone generator will run for one hour.

Ozone

This is an optional feature. On most systems, the ozone

generator (if installed) runs during filter cycles (except

when pump 1 is operating at high speed on a non-circ ulating system) and during clean-up cycles. On some systems, the ozone generator operates whenever the

pump runs. If your system is configured with the optional

ozone disable feature, the ozone generator will turn off for one hour any time a function button (“JETS 1”, “JETS 2”, “OPTION” etc.) is pressed.

Freeze Protection

If the temperature sensors detect a drop to 44°F within the heater, the pump automatically activates to provide freeze protection. The equipment stays on until four minutes after the sensors detect that the spa temperature has risen to 45°F or higher. In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the temperature thresholds determined by the switch and without a four-minute delay in turnoff.

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.
