Important Safety Instructions
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or
during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with the
possibility of drowning.
When installing and using this electrical equipment,
always follow basic safety precautions. Following these
instructions will help make your first spa session a
pleasurable one.
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.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:Alicensed electrician may be required to upgrade
your standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.
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.
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.
Hyperthermia Danger
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to 6˚F
above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F (or 2˚C to
4˚C above 37˚C). While hyperthermia has many health
benefits, it is important not to allow your body’s core
temperature to rise above 103˚F (39.5˚C). Symptoms
of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting. The effects of excessive
hyperthermia may include:
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: The suction fittings
in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow
created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace
the suction fittings, or the pump, be sure the flow rates
are compatible.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the
spa if the suction fitting or filter baskets are broken or
missing.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never replace a suction
fitting with one that is rated less than the flow rate marked
on the original suction fitting.

DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Install the
spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all metal surfaces.
As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet
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.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Do not
permit any external electrical appliances, such as lights,
telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within five feet
(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 into
the spa as factory options from Cal Spas™.
Basic Spa Information
The following operating and maintenance instructions
are very important and must be followed carefully. With
the proper care and maintenance, your spa will provide
you with years of satisfaction and performance.
WARNING -- RISK OF INJURY
The spa water should never exceed 104˚F (40˚C). Water
temperatures between 100˚F (38˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C)
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water
temperatures are recommended for young children and
when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
Do not be afraid to push buttons or turn knobs to learn

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
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 spa.
where the bathers can clean their feet before entering
your spa.
Planning the Best Location
Here are some of the things that you will need to consider
when determining where to place your new spa.
Allow for Service Access
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,
Safety First
Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) of overhead
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.
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
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 finish.
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 will probably want to
create a specific 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.
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 qualified, licensed contractor prepare the
foundation for your spa.
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.
Place the spa on a level foundation (preferably a 4”
concrete slab). If you are installing the spa indoors, pay
close attention to the flooring beneath it. Choose flooring
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 150 pounds per square foot.
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 find enjoyable? Perhaps there is an
area that catches a soothing breeze during the day or a
lovely sunset in the evening.

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 complement your spa and increase your
enjoyment.
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

Do not bury the power cord. If your cord becomes
damaged, replace it before next usage.
GFCI and Wiring Requirements
All 120V spas must have a GFCI. This can be either a 20
amp GFCI receptacle or a 20 amp GFCI cord and plug
kit as shown (CKIT110 - P/N ELE09700086).
The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated
GFCI protected circuit as required by ANSI/NFPA 70
with no other appliances or lights sharing the power.
Test the GFCI plug prior to first use and periodically when
the spa is powered. To test the GFCI plug version, follow
these instructions. (Spa should already be plugged in
and operational.)
Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use
aluminum wire.
Use the table on the next page to determine your GFCI
and wiring requirements.
1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will
trip and the spa will stop operating.
When NEC requires the use of wires larger than #6
AWG, install a junction box near the spa and use #6
AWG wire between the junction box and the spa.
2. Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI will
reset and the spa will turn back on.
Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge to the
next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp GFCI
with four #8 AWG Copper wires run over 85 feet would
require you to go to four #6 AWG copper wires.
The spa is now safe to use.
If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the RESET
button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug the spa and
call your local Cal Spas dealer for service. DO NOT USE
THE SPA!
Read and follow the heater manufacturer’s safety and
installation instructions prior to installation and operation.
Incorrect installation may damage the heater and void
its warranty.
Testing the GFCI Breaker
Test the GFCI breaker prior to first use and periodically
when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker
follow these instructions (spa should be operating):
1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will
trip and the spa will shut off.
2. Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker
to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn
the breaker back on. The spa should have power
again.

Configuring the 6300 Control System
The 6300 control system requires higher power than other 240V systems. Dip switch #10 is factory set in the ON
position. This causes the heater to shut off when any pump is running in high speed. To allow the heater to continue
operating, dip switch #10 must be set to the OFF position.
To ensure your spa functions properly,
ensure the following steps are
performed before starting your spa:
•
When installing the electrical
system, use a 60 amp GFCI.
Follow the GFCI wiring diagram on
the next page.
•
Have your dealer or installer set

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 figures below and at right.) 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 10 feet and no more than 25 feet away from the spa.
To connect the plumbing for an external gas heater:
1. Disconnect the ready union.
2. Cut off both sides of the union and discard it.
3. Create two 2½” diameter holes through the spa panel.
4. Use two 2” couplings to connect the hoses to 10’ - 15’ 2-3/8” diameter PVC lines.
5. Connect PVC lines to the gas heater.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa
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, which will ultimately harm the finish of the spa and void your warranty.
1. Once the spa has been placed on an approved
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.
5. Presoak the filters in spa water.
VERY IMPORTANT!
You must presoak the filters before
inserting them in the filter canister. Dry
filters can allow air into the filtration
system which can cause pump failure.
2. If equipped, open all gate valves in the equipment
area. Before operating the spa, these valves must
be in the up or “open” position.
6. (For owners of the automatic bromine generator)
Make sure the dial on the face of the bromine
generator unit is turned to the OFF position.
VERY IMPORTANT!
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 fittings.
7. Once the water is at the correct level and air is bled,
turn on the power at the GFCI breaker. (Ensure that
the 120V spas are connected to the proper electrical
outlet.)
Note: Depending on the model, when the power
is turned on to the spa, the controls will perform a
diagnostic check for approximately five minutes.
When the diagnostic is complete, the spa will
automatically operate at filter speed and continue
heating until the spa water temperature reaches the
default temperature of 100˚F.
3. Remove the filter basket and cartridge from filter
canister.
4. Place a garden hose in the skimmer/filter canister
and fill your spa with regular tap water to the proper
water level (halfway up the skimmer area).
8. If no water is flowing when the pump is running,
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.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Always fill the spa through the filter
canister! Failure to do so may cause
air to be trapped in the filtration system
and prevent the pumps from operating
properly.
9. Install the pre-soaked filters and the filter basket into
the filter canister.
The spa is now ready for use.

standard-in-economy mode, which operates the same
as standard mode but reverts back to economy mode
automatically after one hour. During this time, pressing
the “MODE/PROG” button will revert to economy mode
immediately.
Temperature Adjustment
(Range 80°F to 104°F, 26°C to 40°C)
The start-up temperature is set at 100°F (37.5°C). The
last measured temperature is constantly displayed
on the control panel. Note that the last measured spa
temperature is displayed. The displayed temperature
will be updated when the pump has been running for at
least two minutes.
Sleep Mode: Sleep mode heats the spa to within 20°F
(11°C) of the set temperature only during filter cycles. The
“SLEEP” icon will display until the mode is changed.
Press the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons once to display the
set temperature. Each time either button is pressed
again, the set temperature will increase or decrease
depending on which button is pressed. After three
seconds, the control panel will automatically display the
last measured spa temperature.
Standby Mode: Pressing “Warm” or “Cool” then “JETS
2” will turn off all spa functions temporarily. This is helpful
when changing a filter. Pressing any button resets the
spa.
Time

then the “MODE/PROG” button. Use the “UP” and
“DOWN” buttons to adjust time. See the next page for
more detailed instructions.
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.

Preset Filter Cycles
There are two filter 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 filter cycles are as follows:
Press the “JETS 2” button once to turn pump 2 on or off
and to shift between low and high speeds if it is a two-
speed pump. If left running, the pump will turn off after
15 minutes.
Option
•
The first filter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00
AM and operates the pump until 10:00 AM. The
“FILTER 1” indicator icon will light when filter 1 is
running.
This is an optional feature. Press the “OPTION” button
to turn the optional equipment on and off. If left on, the
equipment will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.
•
The second filter cycle is automatically activated at
8:00 PM and operates the pump until 10:00 PM. The
“FILTER 2” indicator icon will light when filter 2 is
running.
Light
Press the “LIGHT” button to turn the spa light on and
off and to shift between dim and bright settings if your
light is dimmable. On dim, the control panel will show the
center circle plus one quarter of the light beams. Half of
the light beams will show on medium brightness, and all
of the light beams will show on bright.
The pump and the ozone generator will run during
filtration. At the start of each filter 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 five minutes. In the event of power loss or
shut down, the time of day will need to be reset for filter
cycles to run according to your desired programming.
Invert
Press the “INVERT” button to change the numbers in the

Water Quality Maintenance
Before You Begin
Water Quality Maintenance
Before you begin a Clear Water Plan, you should
understand that chemicals or systems alone will not take
care of your spa water. Other factors such as Filtration
and Bather Load also play an important part.
Cal Spas Clear Water Plan
Great spa water is easily achieved when the right
chemicals and / or systems are used and the Cal Spas
Clear Water Plan is implemented. The key to clean,
clear, and safe water is to fully understand how spa water
reacts to users, system operation and chemical use. The
Clear Water Plan will help give you that understanding.
Filtration
The filter is the part of your spa that removes the debris
from the water. Even though Cal Spas uses the advanced
Bio Clean filter cartridge that protects itself from bacterial
growth, the filter still needs to be cleaned on a regular
basis to maximize your spa’s filtering performance and
heating efficiency.
The first thing to understand about taking care of your
spa water is that preventive actions are much easier to
do than correcting water quality issues. For this reason,
we offer the Clear Water Plan as a simple, easy to follow
guide to clean, safe spa water.
In addition to spraying off the filter weekly to remove
surface debris, your filter should be deep cleaned
periodically to dissolve scale and other contaminants
that get lodged deep within the filter fibers and impede
the filtration process. Even if the filter looks clean, the
contaminants can clog the fibers and prevent water from
flowing through the filter resulting in the most common
spa problem—no heat, caused by a dirty filter.
Follow the Right Plan
You will need to decide which chemical plan or alternative
sanitation option works best for your spa water. Consult
your Cal Spas dealer for the right decision with regards
to your lifestyle and spa usage. Whichever plan you
decide on, follow it completely and don’t take shortcuts.
These plans will provide you with clean, safe, clear spa
water with a minimum of effort.
Filter Cleaning
•
Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep
enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of Cal Spas
“Liquid Filter Cleaner” to the bucket of water.
Traditional Chemical Options
Choose from either Bromine tablets or Chlorinating
granules as your sanitizer of choice. Both work well when
the appropriate Clear Water Plan is followed. Make sure
you follow all instructions and use only Cal Spas brand
chemicals.
Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare filter to be deep
cleaned while the regular filter is in the spa. This way,
you can rotate the filters and both will last longer.
•
•
Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours.
Remove the filter and spray clean with a water hose.
Alternative Sanitation Options
Spray each pleat carefully.
•
•
Allow filter to dry completely (a minimum of 2 days
drying time is recommended).
Cal Zone Quest 2000 / 3000 Ozonator
This system automatically generates ozone gas and
injects it into the spa water. Ozone gas is far superior
to chemical bromine or chlorine in sanitizing spa water.
Saves replacement chemical cost and guards against
forgetting to add chemicals.
Reinstall filter as described in the Clear Water Plan.
Filtration Cycles
The filtration cycle of your spa is the process that allows
the water to flow through the filter. Your spa will filter
automatically twice each day. The factory set default time
for filtration is usually enough for normal use, however
heavy bather load or frequent use may require longer
filtration times or more frequent filtration cycles to keep
the spa water clean. Consult your Owner’s Manual for
setting your spa’s filtration times.
Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine Generator
This system automatically generates and releases
free bromine into the spa water. No more need to add
chemical bromine tablets or chlorine granules. Saves
replacement chemical cost and circumvents the need to
add chemicals on a regular basis.

the spa and cover first.
Chemical Overview
Always protect your eyes while introducing chemicals
into the spa. Wear protective eyeglasses to prevent
powdered chemicals from blowing into the eyes or liquid
chemicals from splashing into the eyes.
The following information is intended for use with Cal
Spas chemicals only. Other brands of chemicals may
have similar names and/or usage descriptions but due
to manufacturing differences, use of other chemicals
can increase the likelihood of under- or over-dosing the
spa chemicals. Damage to the spa or spa’s components
from improper chemicals or chemical usage is not
covered under the spa’s warranty.
In the event of overdosing a sanitizing chemical (chorine
or bromine), immediately turn off the power to the spa
and drain water to a safe and approved area. Refill with
fresh water and proceed with the Clear Water Plan start
up.
Physical Chemical Hazards
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin,
eyes or clothing.
Always wear rubber gloves, protective eye wear and
clothing to reduce the risk of chemical contact and
irritation.
Remove and wash clothing that may have been exposed
to chemical contact prior to wearing them again.
Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious injury,
sickness, or even death.
Do not mix chemicals. Mixing chemicals together can
cause dangerous chemical reactions including the
release of toxic gas, fire and explosions.
Chemical Storage
Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach
of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry.
Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage
may result in serious injury, sickness, fire explosion
and even death. Do not store your chemicals inside the
equipment area of your spa.

This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine
Generator. The chemical references are designed for Cal Spas chemicals only. Note: Following these instructions
is very important to ensure proper operation of your Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine Generator.
Start Up
1. Clean surface of spa with Cal Spas “Multi-
Purpose Cleaner”.
2. Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas “Fast
Sheen” to the acrylic surface.
3. Fill spa to proper water level with normal
tap water. (Do not use soft water.)
4. Use bromine test strip and balance the spa
water:
•
Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range
is 80 to 120 ppm),
•
Adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to
7.8).
5. Pour in 16 oz of Cal Spas “Metal Protector”
in the center of spa.
6. Test for TDS (total dissolved solids).
•
•
The ideal range is 50 to 300 ppm.
TDS must be less than 500 ppm to start with.
7. Phosphate level should be below 200 ppb. Remove phosphates if necessary.
8. Determine the gallon capacity of the spa. Be accurate, because this determines the amount of TRU BLU that
will be added. Consult the Cal Spas Pre-delivery Guide for spa gallons.
9. Power up the spa and make sure all the spa’s pumps are set to high speed. Turn the dial on the face of the Cal
Clarity Bromine Generator to OFF.
10. Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the spa one 2lb bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100 US gallons (370
liters) of water. Do not add too much!
Note: Each bottle of TRU BLU will raise TDS / conductivity amount approximately 500 ppm.
11. Allow spa to run for 15 minutes so the TRU BLU can dissolve completely before proceeding to the next step.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Draining Your Portable Spa
Your spa should be drained every four to six months, and refilled
with fresh tap water. The following is the recommended method
for draining your spa.
1. Turn off the power at the breaker.
2. Remove all filters.
If your drain valve is mounted on the side of the spa cabinet as
shown at right, proceed to step 5.
If your drain valve is located inside the spa cabinet:
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws to the
access panel and open it.
4. Locate hose ending with the 3/4 inch hose-bib fixture.
5. Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the drain fitting.
6. Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain to.
7. Twist the hose-bib fixture counterclockwise and pull to open the drain.
8. Let spa drain completely, then remove garden hose.
9. Twist the hose-bib fixture clockwise to close it.
Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always have your
spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This will help reduce
the risk of freezing in your spa and your spa’s equipment.
Warning: If you find the need to drain your spa, please be aware of the potential of freezing in your spas
equipment and plumbing. Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there is no guarantee that
your spa will not suffer freeze damage.
Freeze damage is not covered by your warranty.

Cleaning and Replacing the
Filter
Exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge is designed to remove dirt, sand,
minerals, phosphates, batherwasteandothersolidsfrom
the spa. Unfortunately, some spa owners fail to include
filter cleaning as part of their chemical maintenance
plan. Filters accumulate debris and become prime areas
for bacteria growth.
Filtration
Filtration is one of the most important steps you can
take to ensure clean, clear water. Regardless of what
some people may think, it is far less expensive to fix
water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using
excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive filtration
times, or by water replacement.
The Cal Spas™ exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter is the only
antibacterial filter cartridge on the market today. Having
a filter cartridge that prevents bacteria growth is added
protection for those times you forget to clean the filter.
We recommend that you only replace your spa’s filter
cartridge with a Bio-Clean™ filter cartridge for ensured
protection and peace of mind.
Cal Spas™ filtration system draws contaminated water
through the exclusive Bio-Clean™ filter removing debris
from the water. It then pumps the newly cleaned water
back into the spa through various jets. Spas equipped
with the optional Quest 2000 Ozonator will also receive
ozoneinjectionintothefilteredwaterforfurtherprotection
against contaminants during filtration cycles. Filtration
also ensures that chemicals are mixed thoroughly
through the water, increasing performance.
Filtration starts on electronically controlled spas as soon
as the pumps are primed and water flow is steady. As
