Important Safety Instructions

When installing and using this electrical equipment,

always follow basic safety precautions. Following these

instructions will help make your rst spa session a

pleasurable one.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

A licensed electrician may be required to upgrade your

standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.

DANGER -- RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING:

Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless

a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa

cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions

enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.

DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: The suction ttings

in this spa are sized to match the specic water ow

created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace

the suction ttings, or the pump, be sure the ow rates

are compatible.

DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the

spa if the suction tting or lter baskets are broken or

missing.

DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never replace a suction

tting with one that is rated less than the ow rate marked

on the original suction tting.

DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Install the

spa at least 1.5 meters from all metal surfaces. As an

alternative, a spa may be installed within 1.5 meters

of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently

bonded by a minimum #8 AWG solid copper conductor

to the outside of the spa’s control box.

DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Do not

permit any external electrical appliances, such as lights,

telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within 1.5

meters of the spa. Never attempt to operate any electrical

device from inside the spa. This does not apply to lights,

stereos and televisions that are built in to the spa as

factory options from Cal Spas™.

WARNING – RISK OF INJURY

The spa water should never exceed 40˚C. Water

temperatures between 38˚C and 40˚C are considered

safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are

recommended for young children and when spa use

exceeds 10 minutes.

High water temperatures have a high potential for

causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who

are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should

always check with their physician prior to spa usage.

The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or

during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with the

possibility of drowning.

Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of heart

disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system

problems or diabetes should consult a physician before

using the spa.

Persons using medications should consult a physician

before using the spa since some medications may

induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate,

blood pressure and circulation.

Hyperthermia Danger

Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce

hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal

temperature of the body reaches a level 2˚C to 4˚C

above the normal body temperature of 37˚C. While

hyperthermia has many health benets, it is important

not to allow your body’s core temperature to rise above

39.5˚C. Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include

dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects

of excessive hyperthermia may include:

Failure to perceive heat•

Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub•

Unawareness of impending hazard•

Fetal damage in pregnant women•

Physical inability to exit the spa•

Unconsciousness•

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication

can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

Basic Spa Information

The following operating and maintenance instructions

are very important and must be followed carefully. With

the proper care and maintenance, your Cal Spa will

provide you with years of satisfaction and performance.

Do not be afraid to push buttons or turn knobs to learn

about your new Cal Spa, as it is built with quality materials

and excellent craftsmanship.

Your new Cal Spa has been engineered with a high-

powered water pump that pushes water through various

therapy jets, which will relax even the tightest muscles.

Page 4 2009 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual

LTR20091001, Rev. A

Read This First!

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 ltering 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 lter 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 nish 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 Cal Spa comes equipped with an electric

heater. Following the directions listed below will ensure

the most efcient operation:

NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two

hours a week.

Keep the spa’s operating temperature 3˚C 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 6˚C

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 lter 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 nd 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 lling your spa, always ll through the skimmer

lter canister. Use only regular tap water.

WARNING: DO NOT USE SOFT WATER.

2009 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual Page 5

LTR20091001, Rev. A

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some

communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to

prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may

be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your Cal Spa™.

your spa. You may also consider keeping a small water-

lled basin nearby for bathers to rinse their feet before

enter your spa.

Allow For Service Access

Make sure the spa is positioned so that access to the

equipment compartment and all side panels will not be

blocked.

Many people choose to install a decorative structure

around their spa. If you are installing your spa with any

type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo,

remember to allow access for service. It is always best

to design special installations so that the spa can still be

moved, or lifted off the ground.

Preparing a Good Foundation

Your spa needs a solid and level foundation. The area

that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the

spa and the occupants who use it. If the foundation

is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the spa is in

place, causing stress that could damage your spa shell

or nish.

Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation

support is not covered by the warranty. It is the

responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper

foundation for the spa. We strongly recommended that

you have a qualied, licensed contractor prepare the

foundation for your spa.

Place the spa on a level foundation (preferably a 10 cm

concrete slab). If you are installing the spa indoors, pay

close attention to the ooring beneath it. Choose ooring

that will not be damaged or stained.

If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood deck

or other structure, consult a structural engineer or a

contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight

of 68 kg per square foot.

Your Cal Spas™ retailer can help you with your foundation

and more. Your retailer has a wealth of information and

experience about how to get the most out of your spa

and can provide you with a full line of accessories that

are designed to compliment your spa and increase your

enjoyment.

Planning the Best Location

Here are some of the things that you will need to consider

when determining where to place your new spa.

Safety First

Do not place your spa within 3 meters of overhead power

lines.

Consider How You Will Use Your Spa

How you intend to use your spa will help you determine

where you should position it. For example, will you use

your spa for recreational or therapeutic purposes? If

your spa is mainly used for family recreation, be sure to

leave plenty of room around it for activity. If you will use it

for relaxation and therapy, you’ll probably want to create

a specic mood around it.

Plan for Your Environment

If you live in a region where it snows in the winter or

rains frequently, place the spa near a house entry. By

doing this, you will have a place to change clothes and

not be uncomfortable.

Consider Your Privacy

In a cold-weather climate, bare trees won’t provide

much privacy. Think of your spa’s surroundings during

all seasons to determine your best privacy options.

Consider the view of your neighbors as well when you

plan the location of your spa.

Provide A View With Your Spa

Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting

in your spa. Do you have a special landscaped area in

your yard that you nd enjoyable? Perhaps there is an

area that catches a soothing breeze during the day or a

lovely sunset in the evening.

Keep Your Spa Clean

In planning your spa’s location, consider a location

where the path to and from the house can be kept clean

and free of debris.

Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into

your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa’s entrance

where the bather’s can clean their feet before entering

Page 6 2009 Portable Spa Owner’s Manual

LTR20091001, Rev. A

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

230 Volt Electrical Installation

All 230V spas must be permanently connected

(hardwired) to the power supply. These instructions

describe the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure.

Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty and

may result in serious injury.

This is the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure.

Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty. See

the wiring diagram on page 8.

The electrical wiring of this spa must meet the

requirements of any applicable local, state, and federal

codes. The electrical circuit must be installed by an

electrical contractor and approved by a local building /

electrical inspector.

RCD and Wiring Requirements

The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated

RCD protected circuit with no other appliances or lights

sharing the power.

Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use

aluminum wire.

Use the table below to determine your GFCI and wiring

requirements.

When wires larger than #6 AWG are required, install a

junction box near the spa and use #6 AWG wire between

the junction box and the spa.

Wire runs over 26 m must increase wire gauge to the

next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp RCD

with four #8 AWG copper wires run over 26 m would

require you to go to four #6 AWG copper wires.

Testing the RCD Breaker

Test the RCD breaker prior to rst use and periodically

when the spa is powered. To test the RCD breaker follow

these instructions (spa should be operating):

Press the TEST button on the RCD. The RCD will 1.

trip and the spa will shut off.

Reset the RCD breaker by switching the breaker 2.

to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn

the breaker back on. The spa should have power

again.

Gas Heater Hook-up

Ultimate Fitness Series spa owners may buy and install a separate gas heater and pump for use with their spa. This

option may be purchased separately from your local distributor.

Spa owners are responsible for ensuring installation of their gas heater conforms to local, state, and federal

regulations. The electrical and gas installation must be performed by contractors and approved by a local building /

electrical inspector. Failure to do so may void your warranty.

All Ultimate Fitness Series spas are plumbed with a gas heater ready union located inside the cabinet at either the

front or rear, depending on the model. (See the gures below and on the next page.) Properly installed, they can be

attached to an external gas heater. Customers are responsible for creating openings in the panel to accommodate

the lines and wiring. The gas heater should be located not less than 3m and no more than 7.6m away from the

spa.

To connect the plumbing for an external gas heater:

Disconnect the ready union.1.

Cut off both sides of the union and discard it.2.

Create two 6.35 cm diameter holes through the spa panel.3.

Use two 5 cm (2”) couplings to connect the hoses to 3m - 4.5m 5 cm (2-3/8”) diameter PVC lines.4.

Connect PVC lines to the gas heater. 5.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

Once the water is at the correct level and air is bled, 7.

turn on the power at the RCD breaker.

NOTE: When the power is turned on to the spa, it

will perform a diagnostic check for approximately ve

minutes. When the diagnostic is complete, the spa

will automatically operate at lter speed and continue

heating until the spa water temperature reaches the

default temperature of 37.5˚C.

If no water is owing when the pump is running 8.

there could be an air pocket at the suction side of

the pump. Shut off power to the spa and loosen the

pump union on the suction side of the pump to bleed

the air. When air is bled, turn power back on.

Re-install the lter and the lter basket into the 9.

skimmer/lter canister.

The spa is now ready for use.

NOTE: Never run the spa with the gate valves closed

or without water circulating for long periods of time. Be

careful not to over-tighten the plumbing ttings.

Never ll your spa with soft water. Soft water makes it

impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and

may cause the water to foam, which will ultimately harm

the nish of the spa and void your warranty.

Once the spa has been placed on an approved 1.

surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed

electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the

equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these

connections are secure and that they did not loosen

during shipment.

If equipped, open all gate valves in the equipment 2.

area. Before operating the spa, these valves must

be in the UP or OPEN position.

Remove the lter basket and cartridge from skimmer/3.

lter canister.

Place a garden hose in the skimmer/lter canister 4.

and ll your spa with regular tap water to the proper

water level (halfway up the skimmer area).

(For owners of the automatic bromine generator) 5.

Make sure the dial on the face of the bromine

generator unit is turned to the OFF position.

Open the air relief valve (located next to the two 6.

lters, if equipped) after the air bubbles stop coming

out of it. Close the valve hand-tight.

Sleep Mode: Sleep mode heats the spa to within 11˚C

of the set temperature only during lter cycles. The

“SLEEP” icon will display until the mode is changed.

Standby Mode: Pressing “Warm” or “Cool” then “Jets 2”

will turn off all spa functions temporarily. This is helpful

when changing a lter. Pressing any button resets the

Jets 1 and Jets 2

Press the JETS 1 button once to turn pump 1 on or off

and to shift between low and high speeds if equipped.

If left running, the low speed turns off after two hours

and the high speed turns off after 15 minutes. On non-

circulation systems, the low speed of pump 1 runs when

the blower or any other pump is on. It may also activate

for at least two minutes every 30 minutes to detect the

spa temperature and then to heat to the set temperature if

needed, depending upon the mode. When the low speed

turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the

panel; however, the high speed may be started.

Option (Optional Blower)

Press the OPTION button to turn the optional equipment

on and off. If left on, the equipment will automatically

turn off after 15 minutes.

Press TIME, JETS 1, and the UP button within three

seconds. When locked, the panel will display “LOCK”.

All buttons are frozen except the TIME button.

To unlock the panel:

Press TIME, JETS ,1 then the DOWN button within three

Setting the Temperature Lock

To activate the temperature lock:

Press the UP or DOWN button, TIME, JETS 1, then the

UP button within three seconds. The panel will display

“TEMP LOCK” when the set temperature is locked.

To unlock the set temperature:

Press the UP or DOWN button, TIME, JETS 1, then the

DOWN button..

Circulation Pump (optional)

If your system is equipped with a circulation pump, it

may be congured to work in one of two different ways:

The circulation pump operates continuously (24 1.

hours) with the exception of turning off for 30 minutes

at a time when the water temperature reaches 1.7˚C

above the set temperature (most likely to happen in

very hot climates).

The circulation pump will come on when the system 2.

is checking temperature, during lter cycles, during

freeze conditions, or when another pump is on.

Preset Filter Cycles

There are two lter cycles per day. The start and end

times of each cycle are programmable. To program, set

the time as instructed above, then press MODE/PROG

to advance to the next setting (or to exit after the last

setting). The default lter cycles are as follows:

The rst lter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00 •

AM and operates the pump until 10:00 AM. The

“FILTER 1” indicator icon will light when lter 1 is

running.

The second lter cycle is automatically activated at •

8:00 PM and operates the pump until 10:00 PM. The

“FILTER 2” indicator icon will light when lter 2 is

running.

The pump and the ozone generator will run during

ltration. At the start of each lter cycle, the blower will

run on highest speed for 30 seconds to clean out the

air channels. The lowest speed of pump 2 and pump

3 will run for ve minutes. In the event of power loss or

shut down, the time of day will need to be reset for lter

cycles to run according to your desired programming.

Clean-up Cycle

When the pump or blower is turned on by a button press,

a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump or

blower is turned off or times out. The pump and the

ozone generator will run for one hour.

Ozone (optional)

On most systems, the ozone generator (if installed) runs

during lter cycles (except when pump 1 is operating

at high speed on a non-circulation system) and during

clean-up cycles. On some systems, the ozone generator

operates whenever the pump runs. If your system is

congured with the optional ozone disable feature,

the ozone generator will turn off for one hour any time

a function button (JETS 1, JETS 2, OPTION etc.) is

pressed.

Freeze Protection

If the temperature sensors detect a drop to 6.7˚C within

the heater, the pump automatically activates to provide

freeze protection. The equipment stays on until four

minutes after the sensors detect that the spa temperature

has risen to 7.2˚C or higher. In colder climates, an optional

additional freeze sensor may be added to protect against

freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard

sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly

except with the temperature thresholds determined by

the switch and without a four minute delay in turnoff.

Diverter Knobs

Diverter knobs are the

larger knobs located

around the top of your

spa. They allow you

to divert water through

jets from one side of

the spa to the other,

or in most cases from

oor jets to wall jets.

This is accomplished

by rotating the diverter

knob to the left (counterclockwise), decreasing the

amount of water ow through a section of jets. To increase

the amount of water ow through the other section of

jets, rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).

Air Venturis

Air venturis are the smaller

knobs located around

the top of your spa. They

can also be distinguished

from diverter knobs by

the arrows and the words

“OFF”, “ON” and “AIR”

marked on them. Each one

will let you add a mixture

of air with the jet pressure.

This is accomplished by rotating the air venturi knob

to the left (counter-clockwise) to increase the amount

of airow through the jets. To decrease the amount of

airow through the jets, rotate the handle to the right

(clockwise).
