based wax that is specifically formulated to protect the spa’s finish from the chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.

7.Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Filtration

Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. Regardless of what some people may think, it is far less expensive to fix water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive filtration times, or by water replacement.

Cal Spas™ filtration system draws contaminated water through the exclusive Bio-Clean™ filter removing debris from the water. It then pumps the newly cleaned water back into the spa through various jets. Spas equipped with the optional Quest 2000 Ozonator will also receive ozone injection into the filtered water for further protection against contaminants during filtration cycles. Filtration also ensures that chemicals are mixed thoroughly through the water, increasing performance.

Filtration starts on electronically controlled spas as soon as the pumps are primed and water flow is steady. As

Exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter Cartridge

The filter cartridge is designed to remove dirt, sand, minerals, phosphates, bather waste and other solids from the spa. Unfortunately, some spa owners fail to include filter cleaning as part of their chemical maintenance plan. Filters accumulate debris and become prime areas for bacteria growth.

The Cal Spas™ exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter is the only antibacterial filter cartridge on the market today. Having a filter cartridge that prevents bacteria growth is added protection for those times you forget to clean the filter. We recommend that you only replace your spa’s filter cartridge with a Bio-Clean™ filter cartridge for ensured protection and peace of mind.

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.
