Basic Information
Water Care
IMPORTANT:
Caring for your water by ensuring proper
chemical usage is the single most important thing you
can do to keep your Cascade Spa in good condition.
WARNING:
Improper chemical usage and maintenance will
quickly lead to severe issues with your spa and can effect
the spa equipment, jets, pumps, and all other components
in contact with the spa water.
All Cascade Spas are
susceptible to damage from unbalanced spa water.
Always maintain your water chemistry within the following
parameters.
pH
7.2 - 7.8
Chlorine
1.0 - 3.0 ppm
Bromine
2.0 - 5.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity
100 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness
150 - 250 ppm
Electrical
All self contained spas use 120VAC or 240VAC electrical spa packs.
120VAC:
requires an isolated 15 Amp circuit breaker,
an isolated circuit with no other appliances or lights on the
circuit at any time. Extension cords are not to be used in
conjunction with the operations of the spa. Low voltage
damage could result and this is not covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT: Cascade Spas with 110V means that the
jets and heater will not work at the same time.
NOTE: All components must be 120V. No 240V
components allowable.
240VAC:
Depending on the model of the spa, it will
require either a 40, 50, or 60 Amp dedicated circuit
breaker with the proper wire size (gauge) based on the
length of the run.
The electrical circuit must be installed by a certified
electrician and approved by a local building or electrical
inspector.
Surface
Transport
Your new spa has left the factory cleaned and polished and ready to begin operation after passing our many quality and operational
tests. However, depending on your location in the world, your spa may have spen
t
days or even weeks in transit before arriving at your
home. Please ensure that before filling or operating your Cascade Spa that you check all electrical and plumbing connections are
securely connected in the equipment area as they might have loosened during shipping. If any dirt has accumulated, you will want to
remove with a clean cloth or sponge using warm water.
Your new portable spa must be placed on a firm, flat, and level surface, so that the weight is supported uniformly. We recommend no
less than a 3” (93 mm) thick concrete slab. Wood decking or balconies must be constructed to support 150 pounds per square foot
(730 kg/m
2
). Refer to the local and current building codes in your area. Should your new spa need to go through the gate or space –
restricted area, ensure you’ve communicated those limitations with your dealer to avoid delivery complications.
NOTE: Damage caused by alternate decking methods may avoid the spa warranty. Contact your dealer if you have any questions
regarding spa location and placement.
