CUSTOMIZING YOUR  MASSAGE

Your Caldera spa offers numerous ways for you to customize your massage experience. Experimentation is the best way to find what feels best to you. Try sitting in
different seats, adjusting the diverter valves, air controls and jet nozzles and turning each pump on or off.

DIVERTER VALVES

The diverter valves on your spa allow you to direct the flow of water from the pumps to
various combinations of jets. The functions of these diverter valves can best be learned
by experimentation as follows:

1. Set all air controls to the “MAX” position.

2. Turn on both pumps.

3. Turn the handle on each diverter valve and see which groups of jets are affected.

(Note that you can adjust the diverter valves to any position between the two
possible extremes to achieve the jet pressure that feels best to you.)

IMPORTANT: 

Your spa is not designed to provide full power to all jets when the diverter

valves are in the “Combo” position. However, with the diverter valve in this position, you
may increase the power to selected jets by rotating the face of the Magna and
MagnaSsage jets to close the ones that are not in use.

TIP: 

Turn both pumps on and position the diverter valves to “Combo”. Then experiment with each of the air

controls to see their effect.

AIR CONTROLS

Each jet system has its own air control. These allow you to change the
power of the jets by regulating the amount of air that is mixed with the
water coming out of the jets.

HYDRO JETS

Magna Jets -

These jets allow you to re-direct the jet stream by changing

the position of the nozzle.

MagnaSsage Jets -

These jets provide a rotating massage pattern.

The nozzles in the Magna jets and the MagnaSsage jets are interchangeable. To remove a MagnaSsage rotating nozzle, simply grasp it and pull straight out. To install,
align and push straight in, the nozzle will snap into place. To remove or install a standard Magna jet nozzle, rotate the tabs on either side of the nozzle. Additional
MagnaSsage rotating nozzles and dual-port nozzles are available from your Caldera dealer.

Both the Magna and MagnaSsage jets allow you to regulate the force of the massage. Rotate the fascia ring clockwise to reduce the force or counter-clockwise to
increase the force. Notice that turning off the flow to some jets increases the flow to the other jets. To avoid damage to your spa’s plumbing and components, do not
turn off more than half of these jets at the same time. 

Euro and Euro-Pulse Jets -

The small Euro jets deliver a direct, precise massage. Many of these jets feature a special insert that creates a soft, pulsating, rotary

massage. The roto jet cap assemblies may be removed if you want a more powerful, direct massage in a particular location. To do this, gently pry around the outside
edge of the cap assembly with a table knife, screwdriver or similar tool. If you desire, you may install a roto jet cap removed from one jet onto a standard euro jet simply
by snapping the assembly into place. You may purchase additional roto jet assemblies from your Caldera dealer.

Versa Jets -

The direction of the water stream can be redirected by repositioning the nozzle. You may convert any Versa jet to a VersaSsage jet with a replacement

nozzle available from your Caldera dealer.

VersaSsage Jets -

These jets may be adjusted to provide either a stationary, direct stream, or, by positioning the nozzle to one side or the other, a variety of rotating

massage patterns.

AIR JETS 

The Air jet system consists of a 1 HP Air pump and 10 Air jets. At the beginning of the automatic operation
cycle, the Air jets will operate for 30 seconds to clean out the air channel. The air jets deliver air bubbles to
provide a subtle pulsation for gentle, soft-tissue massage.
