jets, which will relax even the tightest muscles. In addition to the water pressure, you can add air into the spa water with air venturi handles located seat-side that increase the intensity of your massage.

The filtering of this spa is very important. It will minimize cleaning time and the amount of chemicals needed to keep your spa water balanced. The two daily pre- programmed filter cycles of two hours in duration can be increased to six hour cycles if the need arises. This can be accomplished through the topside control panel.

IMPORTANT: Keep the spa covered when not in use!

•Covered spas use less electricity while maintaining a set temperature.

•Covering your spa will protect your spa’s finish from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

•You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage.

•Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa.

Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater. Following the directions listed below will ensure the most efficient operation:

NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two hours a week.

•Keep the spa’s operating temperature 5˚F below the desired usage temperature when not in use. One or two hours before use, set the temperature to the desired temperature.

•If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the set temperature should remain at the desired usage temperature.

•The air venturis should be used sparingly. When open, water temperature drops quite rapidly and can also dissipate chemicals.

Allowing the water temperature to lower more than 10˚F below the desired usage temperature and reheating it prior to usage will cause the heater to operate longer than it normally would maintaining the desired temperature. Doing this will increase your operating cost and makes your heater work more than necessary.

The filter needs to be cleaned or changed on a regular basis. This process takes only a few minutes and the result is increased water clarity and equipment longevity.

Water level is very important to the operation of your spa. If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will not operate properly. The water level should be to the middle of the skimmer area when the spa is not being used.

We recommend that your spa water be changed every 4 to 6 months. You may find the need to change your spa water more frequently with heavy use. When empty, your spa should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner, such as Cal Spas™ All Surface Cleaner, and then rinsed thoroughly.

See the section “Cleaning and Maintaining Your Spa” for instructions on draining your spa.

When filling your spa, always fill through the skimmer filter canister. Use only regular tap water.

WARNING: DO NOT USE SOFT WATER.
