Clear PlanWater

Start Up

1.Clean surface of spa with Cal Spas “Multi-Purpose Cleaner”.

2.Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas “Fast Sheen” to the acrylic surface.

3.Fill spa to proper water level with normal tap water. Do not use soft water.

4.Use a test strip and balance the spa water:

•Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range is 80 to 120 ppm),

•Adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to 7.8).

5.Pour in 16 oz. of Cal Spas “Metal Protector” in the center of spa.

6.Test for TDS (total dissolved solids).

•The ideal range is 50 to 300 ppm.

•TDS must be less than 500 ppm to start with.

7.Test for phosphates. Phosphate level should be below 200 ppb. Remove phosphates if necessary.

8.Determine the gallon capacity of the spa. Be accurate, because this determines the amount of TRU BLU that will be added. Consult the Cal Spas Pre-delivery Guide for spa gallons.

9.Power up the spa and make sure all the spa’s pumps are set to high speed. Turn the dial on the face of the Cal Clarity Bromine Generator to OFF.

10.Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the spa one 2lb bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100

US gallons (370 liters) of water. Do not add too much!

Note: Each bottle of TRU BLU will raise TDS / conductivity amount approximately 500 ppm.

11.Allow spa to run for 15 minutes so the TRU BLU can dissolve completely before proceeding to the next step.

12.Use sodium bromide test strips (not bromine) and adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS level).

13.Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to help burn out impurities in fill water.

14.Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise until the LED display reads 10.

15.This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank.

16.Set the filtration cycle to “continuous” (F-C) for the first 24 hours.

17.Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to desired temperature.

Adjusting The Proper Bromine Levels

1.After start up, decrease the filtration cycle to F-4 and monitor the bromine level until it is within the recommended range.

2.Use bromine test strips to achieve a 3-5 ppm recommended level.

Note: It can take several days for the bromine level to stabilize because the fill water that was used sometimes contains contaminants that need to be neutralized, thereby using up the initial bromine that is generated.

3.Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved. The common maintenance setting for an average bather load is 4.

When changing the setting, use bromine test strips to determine when you have reached the level you want.

Once a Week

1.Test spa water with bromine test strip.

2.Based on test strip readings:

•Adjust alkalinity if necessary.

•Adjust pH if necessary.

•Increase / decrease bromine production with dial if required.

3.Remove dirty filter from the spa and rinse off.

4.Place your clean, extra filter cartridge back into the spa.

5.Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to spa. Run spa for 15 minutes

6.Vacuum debris from the bottom of your spa with the “Spa Vacuum”.

7.Replace cover.
