WATER MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Your Caldera spa warranty excludes surface or component damage caused by poor water chemistry, the improper use or applica- tion of chemicals, or the use of non-approved chemicals, or failure to maintain pH within proper range. Spa shell, plumbing, electrical system, spa cover or other spa component failures resulting from the addition of any alternate water sanita- tion or purification device, heating system or the modification of the original equipment are NOT cov- ered by your Caldera spa warranty.

WATER PURIFICATION WITH OZONE (OPTION)

The Caldera Pure Water Ozone system produces ozone to “burn out” water contaminants, bacteria and viruses through the process of oxidation. Ozone is continually pro- duced and distributed to the spa during the filtration/skim/filter cycles.

Ozone does not replace traditional water sanitizing chem- icals such as chlorine or bromine. A small amount of chlo- rine or bromine will be needed in the water in addition to ozone. Ozone will be doing the major job of killing microorganisms and oxidizing bather waste such as per- spiration, body oil, suntan lotion, etc. The chlorine or bromine will be providing the measurable, lasting residual and preventing algae from growing.

DO’S AND DON’TS OF SPA WATER MAINTENANCE

DO read labels carefully and follow direction precisely. Though chemicals protect you and your spa when used correctly, they may be hazardous in a concentrated form.

DO add all chemicals slowly into the filter compartment with the Hydro jets operating in high speed.

DO handle all containers with care. Store in a cool, dry, well- ventilated place.

DO NOT use swimming pool chemicals in your spa.

DO NOT use household bleach (liquid sodium hypochlorine).

DO NOT allow anyone to be in the spa while chemicals are being added or dissolving.

DO NOT use incorrect products such as Trichlor, which has a very low pH (2.6), dissolves very slowly, is highly concentrated and was designed for concrete or plaster swimming pools. It will cause damage to your spa!
