Cleaning the Cover, Shell and Pillows

Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying Vinyl and Leather Cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner is specifically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage. It accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants.

Use of Vinyl and Leather Cleaner

Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner should be used sparingly. Incorrect usage may cause water clarity issues.

Spa Covers

1.Remove spa cover from spa.

2.Allow spa cover to dry completely.

3.Spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner to cover evenly and wipe dry.

4.Allow spa cover to dry completely.

5.Reinstall cover on spa.

Pillows

2.Carefully spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner directly onto pillow.

3.Wipe pillows dry.

4.Allow pillows to dry completely.

Warning: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on spa covers or pillows. These products are generally oil- based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are difficult to correct.

Cleaning and Maintenance

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.
