STARTING UP YOUR PORTABLE SPA
Filling and Powering-up Your Cal Spa:
1.
Once spa is placed on an approved surface and is connected to the correct electrical service, inspect all plumbing
connections in the equipment area of your spa. These connections may have loosened in shipment.
2.
If equipped, open all gate valves or slice valves in the equipment area.
NOTE
:
Before operating the spa these valves must be in the up or open position.
3.
Remove filter basket and cartridge from skimmer / filter canister.
4.
Place a garden hose in the skimmer / filter canister and continue filling your spa with
Regular Tap Water
up to the
Water Level line or half way up the skimmer area.
5.
Open the air relief valve located in the skimmer area of most system spas. On all other spas, use the air relief valve
located on the front of the pump housing.
6.
After the air bubbles stop coming out of the air relief valve, hand tighten valve until closed (do not over tighten).
7.
Once the water is at the correct level, turn on the power at the GFCI breaker.
NOTE
:
Ensure110-Volt spas are connected to the proper electrical outlet.
8.
The spa will perform a diagnostic check for 30 seconds. Once complete, the spa will automatically operate at filter
speed and continue heating until the spa water temperature reaches 100
˚
F. (This is every electronically controlled
spas default temperature).
NOTE
: Pneumatic spas will operate and heat to the manual setting (where the thermostat is set). See pneumatic
operating instructions on page 21 for more information.
9.
Re-install filter and filter basket into skimmer / filter canister.
10. The spa is now ready for use.For operation instructions see the “Controls Operation” sections of this manual on pages
21 through 36.
IMPORTANT:
Be careful not to over tighten plumbing fittings. Never run spa with gate valves closed or without
water circulating for long periods of time. Never fill your spa with soft water. Soft water makes it
impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and may cause the water to foam and ultimately
harm your spas finish and void your warranty.
