Setting Filtration Cycles

Your spa is programmed to filter twice a day. The first cycle will begin 6 minutes after the spa is turned on and the second cycle 12 hours later. The factory has programmed the cycle to last for 2 hours but this can be switched to 4, 6, or 8 hours depending on your requirements. To set filtration time, turn off the power to the spa at the time of day you would like one of the filtration cycles to begin then turn back on after 30 seconds. When power has been restored, press the Temp button then the Jets button. Press Temp button again to change the filtering cycle duration. When desired duration is selected press the Jets button to exit.

At the beginning of each filtering cycle the Turbo system will run for approximately 30 seconds. The low speed pump will run for the duration of the filtering cycle and if an Ozone system is installed it will be activated. During filtering, FC will appear on the main display.

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.
