In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical drcuits or the construcito~ of exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos).
In addition, some communities have adopted residential harder codes which may require fendng and/or self-dosing gates on the property to prevent
unsupervised access to a pool (or spa) by children under 5 years of age. Your Caldera spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM
F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers, and as a result, is usually exempt from most ban~er requirements. As a general pracitco, your local Building
Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is obtained for the installation of an electhcal circuit. Your Caldera
dealer can provide information on which permits may be required.

The switch should then stay on. If either of the interrupters does not perfomq in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunctlen and the possibility of an
eiect~c shsok. Disconnect the power until the fault has been ident~ed and con'acted. NOTE: This will reset the filter cycle.
z~DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
o Install spa at least 5 feet (1.5 rn) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surfaoe if each reefal surface is permanently connected
by a minimum No. 10 AWG solid copper conductor attached to the wbe ground connector on the te~ninal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance
with Na~onal Elec~cal Code ANSl/NMFPA70*1993.
· Do oot parmit any electrical appitances, such as a light, tolephone, radio, er television wilhin 5 feet (1.5 m) of e spa. Failure to meintain a safe distsnce may
result in death or sedous personal injury due to electrocution if the appliance should fall into the spa.
' Install your spa in such a way that drainage is away frem the electecal eampadment and from all electhcal eampenents.
DO:
· Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply con'ectly - uea a liconesd eleddcal contraclor.
· Disconnect the spa from the power supply before draining the spa or servicing the electrical compenenfa.
· Teat the Ground Fault Cimuit Interrupter(s) befem each use.
DON'T:
· Uso the spa with the equipment compartment door mmeved.
o Plaea electrical appliancas within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.
· Use an extension cord to connect the spa to its power source. "~e cord may col be propady grounded and the connecliea is a shod( hazard. An extension cord
may cause a voltage drop, which will couea overhealtog of the jet pump motor and metor damage.
· Attempt to open the electrlcal cont~'ol box. 'Them are no uear serviceabfa pads inside.
RISKS TO AVOID
~DANGER: RISK OF INJURY
, To reduce the dsk of injury to bemons, DO NOT remove fleaitng weir, basket, and filter located in the filter compartment while the spa is terming.
· Re suciton firings in the spa am sized to match the spec~ water ltow created by the pump. Never mpfece a suction ~ng with eae rated less than the ltow rate
marked on the odginal suction ming,
· There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember thal wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take cam when entedng or exiting the spa.
' Never operafe spa if the suction fittings arre breken or missing.
, People with infactions diseases should not use the spa.
· Keep any loose ar[ides of ctothing er benging jewelry away ~m rntaling jets er other moving compenents.
Increased side effects of medication
' Tbe uso of dregs, alcohct er medicalJea before or dudng spa uea may lead to unco~sness with the pnssibili~ of drowning.
· Persons using medicedons sbould eansult a physidan before using a spa; some medicaifan may cause a user lo beoome drewsy, while other medication may
affect head role, blood pressure, and ctrcutation.
· Persons taking medications which induns drowsineas, ssoh as tranquilizers, anlthistamines er anticoagulants should not uso tbe spa.
Health problems affected by spa use
° Pregnant wornen should consult a physician before using spa.
· Persons suffedn,g frem obesily or with a medical history of heart disoase, taw er high blood pmssom, circulatory systam preblems, er diabetes should eaesult a
physician before using spa.
Unclean water
· Koop the water clean and eanitized with con*ect chereica~ care. Tbe recommended levels for year Caldem %pa are:
Bmmire: 1.0 - 2.0 ppm with SPA FROG® (3-5 ppm if not using SPA FROG) Total AJkalinity: 80 - 180 ppm
Water pH: 7.2 - 7.8 Calcium Hardness: 150 - 400 ppm
(Refer to Water Quality and Maintenance sec~n for coreptate instruc~oes.)
IMPORTANT: Ture jet pump on for at least ten minutes after adding ANY spa water chemicals into the filter eampadment.
· Clean the ltlter cartltdge monthly to remove debds and reineral buildup which may affect the parformanco of the hydrernassage jets, limit the flow, or trip the high-
limit thermostat which will tam off the entire spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF NYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged iremersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above
normal (98.6°F). The symptoms of hypaffhermia induda unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to moognize the nsed to exit the spa, physical
toabilibj to exit the spa, fetal damage in pregnant women, and unconsciousness resu~ng in a danger of drowning,
~ WARNING:
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the ~sk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
o The watsr in the spa shcold never exneed 104°F (40°C). Water temparatures betwean 100OF (38oc) and 104OF (40oc) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children. Extended use con coues hyperthermia.
· Pngnent or pessibty pregnant women should limit spe waler tomperatures to 100°F (38°C). Failun to do se may result in permanent injury to your baby.
· Do set use spa immediatoly following strenuous exercise.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS:
· To reduce the dsk of injury, beforo entedng a spa tbe user should measure the wator tomparatun with an accurate thermometsr, sinne fi.~e tolerance of
temperature-regulating devices may vary by as much as :~5°F (2°C).
· Test the water with your hand before entedng the spa to be sure it's comfortable.
SAFETY SIGN
Each Coldem® spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the owner's pad(age. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product Lisfing, should be permanently
instslled where it is visible to the users of the spa. To obtain addifionel SAFETY SIGNS, contact your Caldera dealer and request Part #33869.
IMPORTANT SPA INSTRUCTIONS
The ~fowing contains impa~nt spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read and apply them.
DO:
· Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is oot in use, whether it is emply or full.
· Follow the Spe Care and Maintenance recommendafions stated in this manual.
o Use only approved acoessobes and recommended spa chemicals and deanere.
DON'T:
, beave the spe exposed to the sun without water or the vinyl cover in place. Exp,.~sum to direct sunlight can cause solar distrees of the shell matadal.
, ROll or slide the spa on its side. This will darnage tbe siding.
· Lift or drag the cover by using the cover Iod( straps; always lift or cony the cover by using the handles.
o Altempt to open the elec~al control box. There are no user serviceable perts inside. Opening of the control box by the spa owner will void the warranty. If you
have an operational problem, carefully go through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting section. If you aro not able to resolve the problem, contect your
authorized Caldera dealer. Many problems con easily be diagnosed over the telephone by an Autbe~ed SeW~co Technician
SITE AND SELECTION PREPARATION
You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it's indcom or outdoors, on a pafio er on a deck. Just make sum you check the following:
· Nways put your spa on a structurally seund, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that tbe iouation you chcose can support tbe weight
of your filled spa.
· Don't forget to level your spe pefore filling it (see the spa leveling preperation ou the next page).
· Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where wa~ will drain away from it. Allowing water into the
equipment comperiment con damage the electronics, or may result in tripaing your beuse's circuit breaker.
, beave yourself easy accoss to the Ground Fault Circuit IntemJpter (GFCI) for tosting. The GFCI is lecated at the end of the pewer cord, or at the subpanel of a
berd-wired spa.
· Never let water get into the subpanel or into the electdcat outlet that your spa is plugged into. Consult your lecal code authority to determine if an eiochical outlet
with a cover is required for your installation.
· Leave access to the equipment compertment for pedndic spa core and maintenenco.
,A WARNING: Damage to the spa's equipment compartment componeofs or internal plumbing as a result of rodent infestation is NOT covered under your
warran¥
OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION
No matter where you install your new spa, it's important that you have a solid foundation to support it. Structural damage to the spa, resulting fTom incorrect installation or
placement on an inadequate foundation, is not covered under the spa's limited warranly.
If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrots pad at least four inches thick. The reinforcing rod or mesh in ~ pad should be attached to a bond wire.
3
DECK INSTALLATION
To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck's ma-vJmum load capacity. Consult a quailed building contmdor or stmnturel engineer, To find the
weight of your spa, its contents and occupants, refer to the Spa Specitice~nos chart on the beck cover. This weight par square foot must not exceed t~e stmdure's rated
capacity, or sodous st~ucterel damage could result.
INDOOR~BASEMENT INSTALLATION
Be aware of some spac[al requirements if you place your spa indnore. Water will accumulate around the spa, so flooring matehals must provide a good gdp when wet.
Proper drainage is essenital to prevent a build-up of weter around the spa. When building a now room for the spa it is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The
humidity will naturally increase with the spa installed indoors. Water may get into weopwerk and prndace dry rot, mildew, or other problems. Check for aithoma moisture's
effects on exposed weod, paper, etc. in the room. To minimize these effects, it is bast to provide plenty of venitlatino to the spa area. An architect can help to determine if
more ventita~n must be installed.
Your Caldera® spa dealer can help you with local information such as zoning reguisitons and building codes.
,~ WARNING: Please keep the area around your spa well ventilated when it ts installed indoors or in a confined area. Inadequate venitlaitno around the spa could
cause a build-up of a higher-than-normal concentration of spa chemicals and/or bacterial fragments. These dispersed spa chemicals and/or bacterial fragments can be
inhaled, and may result in breathing ditficuittss or lung damage in certain people suffehag from a cempremised immune system or respiratory infection. If you or other
bethers are affentnd by this condition, please seek medical atteniton as snon as posei~.
In addiffen to the above, pmpedy clean and maintain your spa as folk~vs:
· Foffew all procedures in thts owner's manual and pdnted instruclJnos on alt water care (chemical) pmduets packaging.
' Test the water mgulady to ensure propar levels of senitizers, pH, and other water care requirements.
· Drain, clean, and relitl your spa with fresh water on a regular sdnedule, and in accordanco with this owner's menual.
, Clean the itlter{s) at least onse per month.
· Check to make sure you have proper circu[ation throughont your spa water syetem.
· Have spa users bathe before entedng the spa water.
SPA LEVELING PREPARATION
Concrete sloped at ~ inch (1.3 cra) per 10 feet (305 om) is preferred so that rain water and water spillover will run off and not pndd[a underneath the spa (water under
the spa for long periods of time may cause the wood to detefferate). Other options are brick, stepping stone, or blocks.
It is important fo note that soft surfaces, even when steoping stones are used to evenly distribute the weight of the spa, will have a tendency fo seW, thus rasul~ng in an
unleveled spa.
NOTE: Placing the spa on grass or did may increase the amount of debris which is thedvertenity brought into the spa water and may cause harm to your equipment as
well as the spa surface, which is not covered under wananty.
10 ft. (305 cm)' l'*
Slope 1/2 inch per 10 ft. for proper drainage.
LEVEL
Stepping stones or brick may settle
causing the spa to be unlevel.
SPA COVER INSTALLATION
· Place the cover squarely on the spa.
· Pseition the tle-dewn Ionks included with y~r cover on the side of the spa so that they are easily reached by the cover
be-dewn straps. Allow ~ about %" to %" slack in the strops to make it easy to insert straps into locks and fo compansato
for vinyl shrinkage in cold weather.
· Attach the Iccks with the screws provided and insert the cover lJedown strabe into the locks.
N0~'E: ?eoping the cover in place any time the spa is not in use will reduce the arseunt of time the heater oparetes, thereby
m~n~rmz~ng opara~ng costs.
DANGER. RISK OF INJURY.
· Never leave a spa uncovered or unattended.
· Never leave a spa cover unlocked.
· DO not stand, sit, or lie on the cover.

SELECTING THE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR SPA
The Cumbe~and®, Aventine®, and San Gabde¢' spas ara designed to operate al either 115 o~ 230 mits, 60 Hz, while the Olympia spa model mquiras a dedicated 230
volt paw~r supply. When the spa is connected to 115 volts, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat only when the pump is operafing in LOW speed and
the thermostat is calling for heat (NOTE: The heater does not operate when the pump is on high speed). When the spa is connected to 230 volts, the heater will provide
approximately 4000 watls of heat when the pump is operating in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
Alt eleddcol conne~ons must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in the electbest control box or on the beck of the field widng access panel of
the equipment module.
115 VOLT INSTALLATION
Spas provided with a factory- installed power supply cord are to be plugged info a grounded, grounding type, 115 volt, 20 ampere receptacle (Cumberland, Avonfine, and
San Gabdel models). No other electrical appliance or fixtora can be used on this dmuit.
IMPORTANT: Under NO cimumatances should an extension cord be used. Use of an extension cord will seriously degrade the performance of the equipment module
and can ~eate an elenthcal hazard.
230 VOLT INSTALLATION
Wl~en using 230 volt power supply, instellelton of a 50 amp dedicated drcult is required. Your spa must be hardwired direct fo a GFCl-protected subpanel by a licensed
elen~beian. A widng diagram is provided inside the equipment module showing where the connedions ara fo be made.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS
Your Caidera ® spa has been carefully designed to give you maximum safety against elen~cal shock. Connecting the spa fo an improperly wired drcoit will negate
many of the spa's safety features. Improper widng may also cause elenlmculton, dsk of ltm, and other risks of injuries. Please read and follow the elec~ iustallefion

Your Caldem® spa has been thoroughly tested dudng the manutadudng process to ensure reliability and long-term customer saltafactien. A small amount of water may
have remained in the plurebing after testing and, as a result, may have spotted the spa shell or the spa siding pdor to deliven/. Before titling the spa, wipe the spa shelI
dean with a soif reg.
The following ins~ctions reust be read and followed exactly to ensure a successful start-up or r~ll.
CAUTIONS
· Do not fill the spa with hot water, as tripping of the high4imit thermostat may result.
· OO NOT CONNECT POWER TO AN EMPTY SPA. Power to the spa automatically activates cndcal components within the spa, such as conffols,
heater, and other systems. If power is supplied to these components prior to the spa being filled, the components will be damaged, and this reay
mauIf in a non-wan'anty component failure.
· DO not use your spa aBer filling unfit all of the nteps listed below are complnted.
· Do not edd chlodee if ~asifag your spa with polyhexamathylene biguanide (Biguanido, PHMB, eg. BaquaSpae) sanitizer.
, Before filling your spa for the firet Ifme, remove the equipmeot compartment dcor and check to eeeure that the unfons on either side of the pump(s)
and heater are hand-tight.
1. Ensure that the drale is dused and remeve the l~lter compar[*ment cover, skimmer basket, weir, and filter. Then insert the end of a garden hose into the filter canister
and begin filling the spa. The water level of your Caldera spa should be maintained at a level one inch above the highest jet in the spa. Reinstall the filter and then
the skimmer basket, and weir once the spa is filled.
IMPORTANT: Wa~ins Manufacturing Coq)ora~n does not mcommand that the spa be filled wi~ °softened" water, as this may damage the spa's equipmant.
2. Install SPA FROG® bromine and reineral cart~dges. See page 18 for cartridge installetidn and replacament iostmctions.
WARNING: High sanltizer levels can cause discomfort to the user's eyes, lunge and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fell to the recoremended range befere
using the spa.
Each time the spa is filled with water, you reust remove and reinstall the SPA FROG cap, even fi you are not replacing the cartridge, in order to
properly prima the jet pumps.
3. AFaR the spa bas been filed with water and the equipment compar~e~ent door is secured, power rmasl be applied to the spa.
· 115 volt medets: Cennect the GFCI to the weteq)rouf mcaptede and push the RESET buifon on the GFCI.
o 230 volt models: Opan the door of the electrlcal subpaeel and raset the GFCI b'eaker. Close and secure the subpanst door.
4. The jet pump(s), heeting system and all internal plumbing will achieve a parltal prima as the spa is filled. To chesk the operation of tba jet syotem and fo purge anY
remaining air frere the healing system, push the 'JETS" holton en the control pad twice (three timas for the Olympia) to make the jet purep(s) run on high speed for
ene reinute. Once the jet system is fully operational (as indicated by strong, non-surging jets), phming of the spa is complete. If you do not feel a steady stream of
water from your jets, refer to the instructions for priming the purep in the SPATROUBLESHOOTING section in the back of this manual.
5. Adjust Totel AJkalinity (TA) te 80.180 ppre, Calciure Hardness (CH) to 150-400 ppm, tban spa water pH to batween 7.2 and 7.8. Thase Prouedures are listed in the
"Water Quali~ and Maintenance" section.
IMPORTANT: Activate the Clean cycle (Press ~SET', then "JETS" button) before adding spa water chomicals dimcgy info the filter corepadment.
OPERAllON NOTE: Adjusfing the Total Alketinity as the first step is important, as out-of balance TA will affect your abil~y to adjust the pH enffedly and wirl prevent
the saniti~er fl'om operating effecfivsty.
6. Adivete Ihe Clean cycle, and then suparchlednate the spa water by eqding 1% teasgeons of chledne (sodiure dichlor) per 250 gallens (950 liters) of spa water.
7. Set the temperature control to the desired temperature between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C), then place the spa cover on the spa and allew the water
temperature to stabilize (approximately 24 hours). Make sure you secure the ouver in place using the cover Iouks. Periodically chec~ the spa water tereperature.
When the water tereperature climbs above 90°F (32°C), proceed to the next step.
8. Test the spa water for brereien residual. If the residual is between 1 and 2 pore on the test strips, ge on to the next step. If the residual is less than 1 ppm, activate
the Clean cycle, and then retest.
9. Recheck the Totel Alkalinity (TA) at 80-180 ppm, Calciurn Hardneas (CH) at 150-400 ppm, then spa water pH at between 7.2 and 7.8.
OPERATION NOTE: Make sure you adjust your Total Nkalini*ty first, as an out-of-balanca candltJen will affect your ability to adjust the pH correctly, and will affect the
sanfiizers effectivenass. The spa is ready for use when the spa water has circulated and the bromine level remains between 1 ppre and 2-ppm.
10. 'me spa temperature is pm-programmed to reach 102F (39°C}, and will normatly do so within 18 to 24 hours. You may raise the water temperature by pressing the
Temp · button on the control panel, or lower it by pressing Temp · button. After a few hours, the water temperature will rereain within 3=F (1.5°C) of your selected
temperature.
OPERATION NOTES:
1. Your spa is equipped with a ten-reinute timer delay on the heatiag/tmnquil reede. Whenever the jet purep bas been turned off (and a three*dograe terepareture drop
has occurred) or the terebarature ountml has been turned up, it will take ten minutes before the Iow speed of the jet pump and baatar become activated. Always
push the "JETS" button to tum off the jet pump wflen exiting the spa. In the standard 115 volt, 20 arep electrical configurelten, the heating system does not operate
sireultaneeusly with the high speed purep. On the other hand, on the 230-velt systere, the heating system does operate sirsultaneeusly with the high speed pump.
2. The spa cantrolisr has an automatic one-hour "fime-oat" feeture shouid the high speed jet mede be leif on inadvertenfiy. ABer o~e hour of continuous operedon,
the controller will automatically retum to the maintenance/beating mode.
3. The spa controller aiso hes a six-hour "ltree-out" feature shouid the light be leif ou inadvertenlty. After six hours of condnuous operation, the controller will
automaltcetly turn the light off.

this feature, simply press and hold tho specific buttons in the same manner once again.
AIR CONTROL
Tho Air Control(s) located next to your spa-side con~l penal allows you fo change the power of the jets by regulating the amount of air that is mixed with the water
coming out of the jets.
13
HYDRO JETS
AdapteFIo~ Jets- The larger jets in your spa allow you to m-direct the jet stream by changing the position of the nozzle.
You con also regulate the force of the massage by rotating the jet face dock'~se to mduco the force or counter-dockwise to increase the ~co. Noitce that tuming off
the flow to some jets increasas the flow to the other jets. To avoid damage to your spa's plumbing and components, do not turn off more than haft of these jets at the
same time.
AdaptsSsage' rotating nozzles am evailable from your dealer to mplaco the direddonal adjustable nozzles in the AdaptaFio Jets.
Eum Direcltonal Jets- The Eura Dimcitnoaljets, with eyeball nozzles, deliver a direct, mom focused massage. You may purchase additional Euro-Pulse® assemblies
from your Caldem® dealer. The Euro-Puise jet features a special insert that creates a soft, pulsaltng, rotary massage. If you desire, you may install a Euro-Pulse jet in
placo of any of the Euro Directional jet by rotating the jet face counter dodm~e and pull it off. Remove the nozzle and ring seat. Then simply insert the spinner body
and Iwist Euro-Pulse Jet face into place.
DIVERTER VALVE
The diverter valve on the Cumbedand ® spa model allows you to direct the flow of water from the pump to several combinaltons of jets. The fonddnos of this diverter valve
can best be teamed by expadmentation as follows:
1. Set all air controls to the "ON" poslitno by rotating couetemlockwtse.
2. Turn on the pump.
3. Turn the hendle on the diverter valve and see which groups of jets am affected. (Note that you con adjust the diverter valve to any pasitJon behveen the ~ possible
extremes to achieve the jet pressure that feels past to you.)
IMPORTANT: Your spa is not designed to provide full power to all jets when the diverter valve is in fire "mid" position.
WATERFALL VALVE
The Olympia spa is equipped with a cascading waterfall feature. Il is activated by pressing JETS and turning the valve, located no the front interior wall, counterdonkwise.
The flow is regutated by turning the waterfall valve to the desired position.
It's impartaet to have dasn wa~r. Water maintsnance is one of the leaet understood, yet most important areas of spa owcemhip. Your dealer con guide you through the
process of achieving and maintaining perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will depend on your water's mineral content, how often you use
your spa, and how many people use it.
WATER TERMINOL OG Y
The following chemicol terms are used in this Water Quali~ and Maintenance section. Understanding their meaning will help you to better underatsnd the water
maintenance process.
Bromamthes: Compounds formed when bromine combines with nitrogen Mm body oils, udne, perspiration, etc. Unlike chloremines, bremaminss have on pungent odor
and are elfectiva sanitizera.
Bromine: A halogen sander that is commonly used in stick, tablet, or granular form. The SPA FROG~ sanitizing system is the only solid bromine-approved system. See
the DO's and DON'Ts of Spa Water Maintenance for addiitonal information.
Calcium Hardness: The amount of dissolved calcium in the spa water. This should be appreximately 150-400 ppm. High levels of colcium con couse cloudy water and
scaling. Low levels con couse harm to the spa equipment.
Chloreraines: Compounds famed when chlorine combines with nibogen from body oils, udne, perspiration, etc. Chioremines con couse eye irfitetion as wall as having a
strong odor. Unlike b'omamines, chloramines are weaker, slower senitizem.
Chlorine: An effldent sanitizing chemical for spas. Wetkins® Manufacturing Corporation recommeads the use of sodium dichlor-~pa granuiofod chlorine. This type is
preferred becouse it is totally soluble and neady pH nautral.
Chlodne (o~ Bromine) Residual: The amount of chiodne or bromine remaining after chlorine or bromine demand has been satisfied. The residual is, '~3ere~e, the
amount of sani~zer which is chemically available to kill bactehe, viruses and algae.
Con'osion: The gradual wearing away of metal spa parts, usually coused by chemical action. Generally, corrosion la sausad by Iow pH or by water with levels of TA, CH,
pH or senitizer which are outside the recommended ranges.
DPD: The preformd reagent used in test kits to measure the Free Available Chlorine.
Halogen: Any one of these five elements: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
MPS: Monopersu~e is a non-chlddne oxidizer.
Ozkltzer. The use of an oxidizing chemical is to prevent the buildup of contaminants, ma-~mize sanitizer efficiency, minimize combined chlorine and improve water ded[y
Ozone: Ozone is a powerful ox~izieg agent which is produced in nature and artificially by man. Ozone ton'ns no by-products of chloramines (ozone actually oxidizes
chlemmines) and will not alter the water's pH.
14
PathoGen: A microorganism such as bacterium that cause disease.
pH: The measure of the spa watar's acidity and alkalinity. The recommended pH for the spa water is 7.2 to 7.8. Below 7.0 (considered neutral), the spa water is too
addlo and can damage the healing system. Above 7.8, the water is too alkaline and can result in cloudy water, and scale formatien on the shell and heater.
ppm: The abbreviation of "pads par million", the standard measurement of chemical concenb'ation in water. Identical to mg/I (milligrams par liter).
Reagent: A chemical material in liquid, powder, er tablet form for use in chemical testing.
Saniifizer: Sanitizers are added and maintained at recommended residuals to prelect bathers against pathogenic organisms which can cause disease and infec~on in
spa water,
Scale: Rough caldum-heaitng deposits that can coat spa surfaces, heaters, plumbing lines and clog filters. Generally, scaling is caused by mineral content combined
with high pH. Additionally, scale forms more raadily at higher water temperatures.
Shock Trestnlent: Also known as "supar..chlorination" when chlorine is used. Shock treatment is a process of adding significant doses of a quick dissolving senitizer
(sodium dichlor is recommended) to oxidize non-filterable ergania weste and to remove chloramines and bromamines.
Total Alkalinity: The amount of bicarbonates, carbonetas, and hydroxides present in spa water. Proper total alkalinity is important for pH control. If the TA is too high, the
pH is difficult to adjust. If the TAis too Iow, the pH will be di~cuit to held at the proper level. The desired range of TA in spa water is 80 to 180 ppm.
GENERAL INFORMATION
THE THREE FUNDAMENTAL AREAS OF WATER MAINTENANCE: · WaterFiltration
· ChemicaIBalance/pH Control
· Water Sanitation
Water sanitation is the responsibility of the spa owner. To ixopady sanitize the spa, ~atkins highly recommends the SPA FROG~ water care system. This system will
chemically control the badeda and virases present in the fill water or introduced during use of the spa. Bacteria and vi[uses can grow quickly in undoman~ad spa water.
The water's chemical balance and pH control are am the responsibility of the spa owner. You'll have to add chemicals to maintain proper levels of Total Alkalinity
(TA), Calcium Hardness (CH) and pH. Proper water balance and pH control will minimize scale buildup, extend the life of the spa, and allow the senilJzer to work at an
oplJmum level.
METHODS FOR TESTING THE SPA WATER
Accurate wa~ testing and analysis is an important part of effec~vely managing your spa water. You must have the ability to test for:
· Total Alkalinity (TA)
· Caldum Hardness (CH)
, pH
· Senitizer
Two types of te~ng methods are recognized and recommended by Wa~,ins Manufacturing Coq:~oratlon:
1. The Reagent Test Kit is a method which provides a high level nt accuracy. The reagents come in either liquid or tablet form.
2. Test Sb'ipa are a convenient testing method used by many spa owners. Keep in mind that test strips are susceplfole to heat and meistura contamina~3n, which will
result in inacourste readings.
Always road and carefully follow the directions included with the Test Kit or Test Strips to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
BASIC CHEMICAL SAFETY
When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow dirocitons predsely. Though chemicals protect you and your spa when used cormcity, they can bo hazardous
in concanb*atad form. Always obae~ve the following guidelines:
Allow only a responsible person to handle spa chemicals. KEEP THEM OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Accurately measure the exact quantities spacifed, never more. Do not overdose your spa.
Handle all containers wih care. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
Always replace the caps on their proper containers when not in use.
Don't inhale fumes or allow chemicals to come in contact with your eyes, nose, or maulh. Wash your hands immediately after use.
Follow the emergency advice on the product label in case of accidental contact, or if the chemical is swallowed. Call a doctor or the local Poison Cont~ Center.
If a doctor is onedad, take the product container along with you so that the substance san be idenitfled.
· Don't lat chemicals get on surrounding surfacos or landscaping.
. Don't use a vacuum cleaner to clean up chemical spills.
· Never smoke aroued chemicals. Some fumes can be highly flammable.
· Don't store any chemicals in the spa equipment compartment.

HOW TO ADD CHEMICALS TO THE SPA WATER
IMPORTANT: All spa water chemicals (other than SPA FROG cadedges), including MPS Plus (shock), chledne, granulated pH increaser or deoreaser, granulated
total alkalinity increaser, calcium hardness increaser, I~uid stain and scala inhibitor, and liquid da-fcamer must always he added directly into or in front of the
filter compaF~nent while a jet pump is running, and il must run for a minimum of ten minutes.
To Administer Spa Water Chemicals:
1. Fold back the cover and remove the filter compartroent cover.
2. Carefully measura the recommended amount of chemical and slowly pour it over the ltlter basket ama. Use cara not to splash chemicals on your hands, in your
eyes, on the spa sheet sudace, or on the siding.
3. Redlaca the fitter campadment cover. After tan minutes, shut ctf the jot pump{s) and dese the cover. Risk of Drowning: Never leave an opan spa unaftended!
,~ WARNING: High seni~zer levels can cause discomfort to the user's eyes, lungs and skin. Always allaw the canltizer level to fall to the recommended range bede
using the spa.
IMPORTANT "SUPER CHLORINATION~ION-CHLORINE SHOCK TREATMENT" NOTE: After administering a super chlodnetien ffeatmeot or non-chlorine shock to
your spa, leave the cover open for a minimum of 20 mlautes to allow the oxidizer gas to vent. A high cancanflalten of flapped oxidizer gas which may exist as a result of
the shock treatment (not daily sanitation) may eventually cause discoloration or vinyl degradation to the botlom of the cover. This type of damage is considered chemical
abuse and is not covered under the ten'ns of the limited waffan[y.
THE WATKINS SPA WATER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Each step in your water maintananee program is dependant on the complaffen of the previous steps. Omi~ng a step or failing to reach the recommended range may
cause an imbatanca in your water's chemis~/. Unbalanced water chemis~ can damage the spa and its compooerds, as wall as cause discomfort for the user.
BALANCING THE TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA)
A. Tr~ recommended Total Nkalinity (TA) for your spa water is 80 - 180 ppm.
B. Total AJkalinlty is a measura of the totel lavels of caad:mnates, bica~bocates, hydroxides, and other alkaline substancas in the wateE TA is referred to as the water's
'pH buffer". In other words, it's a reassure of the abilily of the water to resist changes in pH lavel.
C. If the TAis too Iow, the pH level will ltuctuate widely from high to Iow. Fluctuations in pH can cause corrosion or scaling of the spa compenente. Low TA can be
cormcta by adding sodium hydrogen carbonate (pH/AIkalt nity Up).
D. If the Total Alkalinity is too high, the pH leset will tend to he high and may he difficult to bring down. It can be lowered by using sodium bisulfate (pH/Alkalie~
down)
E. Onee the TA is balancad, it normally remains stabla, although the addilton of mom water with a high or Iow alkalin~ will raise or lower the TA reeding of the water.
F When the Totel Alkalinily is within the racammended range, proceed to the next step.
BALANCING THE CALCIUM HARDNESS (CH)
A. The reocmmendad Caldum Hardness (CH) level for your spa is 150- 400 ppm.
B. Caldum Hardness is a measure of the tatal arnount of dissctved caldum in the water. Calcium helps ocntrol the coffosive nature of the spa's water. That's why
calcium-low water (commonly known as "seE' water) is not recommended. It is very coffesive to the equipment, and can cause staining of the spa shell.
C. If the CH is too high (cammonly known as "hard water'), forrnaiten of scale on the spa's shell surfaca and equipment can rosult. CH can be decruased by
dSufion-a mixture of 75% hard and 25% soft water will usually yield a reading within the correct range. If soft water is not availabla or pra~cal for you, a stain
and scale inhibi~ should he added to the spa water, according to label isa~uddons.
D. ft the CH is too Iow add CH increaser.
E. Once the CH is balanced, it normally remains statite, alti3ough the addilien of mare watar ~h a high or Iow
caldum content will raise or lower Ihe CH reading of the wate~
F When the Caldum Hardness is within the recommended range, proceed to the next step.
BALANCING THE pH
A. The recommended pH level for your spa water is 7.2 - 7.8.
B. The pH level is the measure of addily and alkalinity. Valu~ above 7.8 ara alkaline; these helaw 7.2 ara
acidic. Maintaining the proper pH level is extremely important for:
· Oplt mizing the effectivenese of the senitizer.
· Maintaining water that is camfodable for the user.
· Preventing equipment deteheration.
C. If the spa water's pH level is too Iow, the following may result:
· The sanitizer will diseipate rapidly.
· The water may hecome initating to spa users.
, The spa's equipment may corrnde.
If the Ifil is too Iow, it can be increased by adding sodium hydrogen carbonate (pH/Alkalinity Up) to the spa water

D. ff the pH level is too high, the following may result: . The sanilizer is less effective.
· Scale will fo~ on the spa shell surface and the equipment.
, The water may become cloudy.
. The filter certddge pores may become obstructed.
If the pH is too high, it can be decreased by adding sodium bisulfate (pH/Nkalteity Down) to the spa water
NOTE: After adding sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bisulfate, hefom tes~ng the water for pH. Measurements taken tce soon may not he accurate.
E. It is impodant fo check the pH on a regular (weekly) basis. The pH will he affected by the bather Ioed, the addition of new water, the addison of vaedus chemicals,
and the type of sanilizor used. When the pH is within ~3e recommended range, proceed to the final step.
MAINTAINING THE SANITIZER LEVEL
A. Sanitizer is extremely irnportent for killiog algae, baderia and viruses, and praventing unwanted organisms frorn growiog in the spa. At the same time, you donl want
too high a sanltizer level, or it can initate your skin, lungs, and eyes.
B. Always maintain the saniitzer level in your spa at the resornmended level for each typa of senitizer.
C. Watkins reoommends the following sanitizer:
· SPA FROG® sanit[ziog system (rniceral and b~'ornine)
D. Waikins also approves the following sanitizers:

SPA FROG® WATER CARE SYSTEM
(THE SPA FROG MINERAL CARTRIDGE IS NOT APPROVED FOR USE IN CANADA.)
Tho SPA FROG Water Cam system is comprised of the following products:
~ SPA FROG mineral caffrtdge that introduces minerals into the spa water, inhibiting bacteria growth. Whon cembbad with Monarch® MPS Plus, it oxidizes
paraculates in the spa water.
Me SPA FROG Bomlns (BCDMH) is the only reeommended sanitizer that will work in conjunction with tho SPA FROG mineral cer~fidge in this system.
Monamh MPS Plus Non-Chlorine Shock (MPS/Monogersulfate) is an oxidizing chemical used to prevent the buildup of contaminants, maximize senitizer el~dency,
and improve water cledty.
Monarch Corona Dfacha~ge (CD) Ozone Gensrafor (optional) - The Monarch high output ozone system is the only ozone purification system approved fa' instellation
in your Calderae Spa. The Uonamh ozone system utilizes CD technology th produce a higher concenka~n of ozone thon is produced by competing chip slyle CD or
ultraviolet light ozone systems.
NOTE: Refer to your SPA FROG owners manual for start-up and operation instructions. The owner's manual is included with the SPA FROG starter kit.
It is important to follow the recommended appitca~on and maintenance programs outlined for each product's use. If the spa is being used over an extended pedod or
time, such as a whole afternoon or evening, additional sanitizer will ho needed.
A weekly 'shock treatment" is required. The shock treaimant quickly destroys any remaining contaminants while mvitelizing tho bromine in the water.
To weekly "shock beat" your spa, we recommend that you use eithor Monarch MPS Plus (sodium dichlor may also be used). Sodium dichlor may be a mom
appropriate wae~ shock fa'those usem that experience heavy bather load conditions.
IMPORTANT NOIE: Monarch MPS Plus is an oxidizer, not a senitizer.
SPA FROG CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
ne SPA FROG bromine catt#dge should be mplaced evely 2-4 weeks, depending ea User Load. Tho SPA FROG mineral cartridge should ho replaced evePj 4 months.
Whon repladng the mineral certhdge, it is highly recommended that the spa ho dreiced and refilled at tho same time. After refilling tho spa with water, balance the Total
Alkolini[y (TA), Calcium Hardness (CH) and pH to the mcommanped levels. Shock the spa by adding Monarch MPS Plus non-chlodne shock.
To replace SPA FROG ca~dges, follow these steps:
1. Turn off powar to the spa.
2. Unscrew SPA FROG cap on top edge of spa.
3. Turn handle counter-dcokwise.
4. Lift se~dge holder up and out of sps.
5. Turn top cap of mineral ca~dge to s~ng ~. (The mineral carttidge should last 4 months.) Tom top cap of bromine cartridge th selting #7.
NOTE: Adjust bromine cartridge setting down by one setting each day until a residual of 1.0 - 2.0 ppm levol of bromine is established. (The bromine cartridge
should last 2 - 4 weeks.)
6. Snap bromine cartridge in at bottom of holder and mbaral cartridge on top.
NOTE: It is important that the bmmba cartddcje is ea battom; otherw~se, tho bromine car~dge muld ho dispensed pmmaturely.
7. Reinstall carthdge holder into spa, push down, and ~st cla.:kwise.
8. Rep[ace SPA FROG cap.
9. Reaonnect power th the spa.
~ WARNING: High sander levels can cause discomfort to tho user's eyes, lungs and skin. Always allow the senitizer level to fall to the recommended range before
using the spa.
FOLLOWING THE SPA FROG SANITIZER ROUTINE
Duting the first month of ownership, measure the sanitizer residual daily in order to establish the corred setting on carthdgea for User Load and Usage nme versus
Sanifizer Needed.
· The User Load of the spa is the number of times anyone enters tho spa.
o The Usage ~me is simply the amount of time a user spemls in the spa.
· Sanitizer Needed is the amount neaded to accomrnodate the numbar of uears and their combined usage itme.
Fa' e~mple, two spa users who regularly use tho spa once an evening for twenty minutes create a spee~itc and semowhot consistent demand on the senittzer. Dudng
tho flint month of ownership, these two users can determine exactly how much sanitizer to use in order to maintain tho proper msidcaL If, at any time, the user bad and/
or usage pattern changes dramaitcally (i.e. invited guests), the amount and frequency of senitizer required increases dramatically.
ne greater the usage itme, or the hothor load, the faster the residual ~lue is diminished.
BROMINE
A. Sanitizing chemicals, such as bromine, are oxidants that kill bacteria and viruses in the water. If you are using the SPA FROG system, the recommended bromine
level for your spa water is 1.0 - 2.0 ppm. If you are not using the SPA FROG system, your bromine level should be between 3 - 5 ppm.
NOTE: For Canada, if you are only using the bromine cartridge, your bromine levels should be between 3-5 ppm.
B. Watkins Manufacturing Corperation reeemmonds the use of granulated bromine for saniitzthg the water. Granalated bromine is preferred because it is totally
selubis, diseolves quickly and is neady pH neutral,
18
C. Maintaining the proper level of bromine dudng use is extremely imporiant.
D. if the bromine level is too Iow, hacteda and viruses can grow rapidly in the warm water.
E. If the bromine level is too high, the water can cause discemfor~ to the user's eyes, lungs and skin. Simply allow some time to paus in order fro' the bromice to
dissipate.
F. When the bromine level is within the recommended range, the spa is ready to be enjoyed.
DO'S AND DON'TS
BO check your bromine chemical level prior to each use.
BO checnge the SPA FROG mineral carb'idge eve*y 4 months.
DO test Total Alkalinity and pl-I weekly.
DO use Monarch MPS+ non-chtedus {Pmonperaulfate) oxidizer for spa only.
BO store all chemicals in a tightly sealed contdner in a cool, dry place.
DON'T use sodium bromide or biguanidne. ~ece arc an active sanitizer and will combine with the silver ions to inactivate them.
DON'T use a water clsdfter, Clar~ers will ceuce the spa water to become cloudy.
DON'T use the Monarch silver ce*tddge with SPA FROG,
SUPER CHLORINATION
Super Chlorination is a process used to eliminate chlodne smell (if you ara using chlohae) by "burning-off' chloramlees (used chledne). '~is helps maintain the
proper level of frce chlorine.
When giving your water a super chlorination ~atment, open the cover at least half way ~or twenty minutes to allow the chbdne
gas fo vent olT. The high concentmlion of chlodne gas which may exist as a result of super chbdnation (not daily sanitation)
may eventually cause discolomtten or degradation to the bottom of the cover, which would not ha covered under the terms of
~ WARNING: There ara several forms of stebilized chbdne available fa' use in spas and swimming pools. Each fo~m has
specific chamicol characte*teitcs. It is extremely important that the form you choose is specifically designed for use in spas.
Use of an incon*ed product such as th-chloro, which has a very Iow pH (2.6), dissolves too quiddy in hot water rasuiting in
ex'demely high levels of chlorine, and is designed for concrete or p~aster swimming psols, WILL cause damage to your spa.
Use of a liquid, or any lypa of compmsaed bromine or chledne, acid, or any type or sanitizer which is not recommended by
Watkice Manufectodng Coq3oratJoa, WILL damage your spa and is specifically not covered under ~ terms of the limited
IMPORTANT: Granulated chbdoa (sodium dichler) will degrade if stored impropady We recommend purchasing chlodne in
one, two, or five pound containers and slodng it in a cool, dry place to maintain its potency.

Proper water sanitation and mineral belence (pH control) ara absolutely essential for a complete spa water maintenance program. Hera ara two other popular wster
additives that are optional:
1. Mineral Deposit Inhibitors
As water evaporates from your spa and new water is added, the amount of dissolved minerals will incmaso. (Minimize evaporation by keeping the cover on the spa
whenever possible.) Re spa water may eventually become "hard' (Calcium Hardness too high) enough to damage the heater by caloi~ng its surface. Proper pH contrc~
can minimize this.
Normal soap build-up will mquira water re'placement regularly enough that mineral daposite normally ara not a problem.
Occasionally, high iron or copper content in the water may produce green or brown steins on the spa. A stain and scale inhibitor may help to reduce these metals.
NOTE: Well water may contain high censentra~ns of minerals. The use of a Iow water volume, extra-line pore water lfltor will help to rameve many of the large* par~cles
dudng the filling of the spa.
2. Foam Inhibitors
Spa water requires changing due to the buildup of soap in the water. Typically, soap will cause the spa water to foam when the jets are used. Soap is introduced into the
spa water from tv, ra sources: usam' bodies, which retain a soap residue after shawedng, and swimming apparel, which rateins soap after washing.
Foam inhibitore can suppress foam, but cannot remove soap horn the water. Soap is very difficult to remove ~ the water because soap is not oxidized by any
chemical added to the spa. Only ozone con oxidize soap,
Eventually the soap build-up in the water will be concentrated, resulting in an unclean feeling on the bather's skin, which is impossible to ramedy. When this oucure, ~s
time to drain and mlfll the spa, Depending on the soap input, the water should last about 4 months before needing to be drained.

MONARCH® OZONE SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The Monamh high output ozone system is tho only ozone pudficatfen system approved for installation in your Caldera® spa. The Monarch ozone system utilizes Corona
Discharge (CD) technology to produce a higher connentralJon of ozone than is Ixndusad by competing ultraviolet light (UV) ozone systems.
The Mcoarch high output ozone system gmutly enhances the quality of the spa waler when used to supplement the spa owner's regular water maintenance program.
Contrary to some information drcolatad throughout the pool and spa industry regarding ozone systems, ozone be used as a single-source senitizer, water clerirter, anti-
foamer, and mineral chelating agent. Watkins Manufactudog ~tion recommends feliowing the SPA FROG® senit[zing system when using an ozone pudr~ion
system to sesum water sanitation and the highest quality of purified water.
Cleaning the Ozone Injector
On occasion, a mineral build up may dog tie ozone iwJector, causing a lad( of ~ or Iow flow, of ozone bubbles. To prevent this, refer to the following instrucfJons to
dean the injector:
1. Disconnect power totnd spa.
2. Access tie equipment compartment.
3. Plane 16 ounces of white vinegar into a container such as a cop or bucket. Place tie container on the equipment compartment fionr. NOTE: White vinegar will not
damage any of tie spa compouenls.
4. Carefelly loosen the long tubing to the bottom of the ozonetor. A liquid substanve may be found inside the tubing. If a liquid substance is present, BE
CERTAIN NOT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH 11.1E MCIUID (SEE WARNING BELOIN)
Nitric acid accumulates in the air lines of the ozonator and injector. Nitric
acid will cause severe chemical bums if direct skin contact is made, so
ahvays wear protective gloves, glasses and clothing when working on the
ozonator or injector lines. To prevent inhalation or ingestion of the nitric acid,
DO NOT blow or inhale with your mouth to any of the adapters, riftings or
tubing of the ozonator or injector air lines.
5. Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making car[ain that the end of the tubing sits at tie bottom of the container.
6. Reconnect power to the spa.
7. Run the spa until all 16 ounces of the vinegar are gone. This should allow an ample flow of vinegar to be ren through the injector and clear the blockage.
8. Dlecoonect power tothe spa.
9. Remove the empty cop or bud(et.
10. Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozocator.
11. Close tho equipment compartmeet door.
12. Reconnect power to the spa.
2O
The Monarch* ozone system is practically maintenaase-frse because it is located within ~ spa's equipment compadmenl. If bubbles are appearing at the spa's heater
retum, but the water is not as dear as usual, then the oparatJon of the ozone generator should be checked by your dealer.
,A WARNING: Contact your dealer if your spa requires troubleshooting beyond the scape of this manual. Monamh ozone systems should only be serviced by a qualified
technician.
WARRANTY NOTE: Cleaning of the ozone injector is not cavered under the warrec~j. Refer to the Ozone section of this manual for ozone injector cleaning instructions..
DO'S AND DON'TS
· DO add all chemicals slowly into or in fTont of the §tier compartment with the jet pump operating for ten minutss.
· DO use spacial care if using baking seda to dean either the intedor or exteber plastic surtacse.
· DO use only a grenular ferm of bromine sani'~er.
. DON'T use swimming pod (muria~) acid to lower pH.
· DON'T splash pH increaser additives on the siding.
· DON'T use Compressed SanilJzers.
The use of bromine sticks or tablets in floatere, which may become entrapped in a lounge or cooling seat (or sink to the spa floor), have been shown to cause
discolore~3n of or sudece disb'eas to a spa's she[
· DON'T use a fleater typa senitization system as a Iow or no maintenance soluiJon to your spa maintenance program.
Fleaifng dispansers can become trappeq in one area and cause an over-canifizatine (or chemical bum) of that par~cotar area.
If the dispaasor setting is too high, the high connentmtion can discolor the spa shell and damage the underside of the cover.
Automatic floating dispensers have a tendency to either over-brominate or under-breminote as the rate of erosion vabes greatly. Damage to the spa and cover can occur
very quickly.
Watkins Manufacturing Corporation does not recommend the use of any floating chemical diapanser. Damage to the spa shell or companects caused by a floating
chemical dispenser is specifically not covered under the terms of the limtied wan'anty. · DON'T use a senitizer which ia not designed tor spas.
· DON'T use household bleach (liquid sodium hypechlori[e).
· DON'T broadcast or spdnkle thee chemicals onto the water surface. This method may cause chemically-induced spa surface blistering (cbemicot abuse)
MONARCH SILVER ION PURIFIER (OPTIONAL)
Question: How are the silver ions added to the water?
Answer, The silver cartridge contains ceramic beads that are in~used with silver. By piecing the car~dge in the holder flier standpipe, it is subject to the ~ of water
creoted by the oparation of the jet pumps. The flowing water, through a chemical eresion precass, uarfies with it the silver ines necessary to add a sanitizing residual to
the spa water.
Oueatton: What happens if I do net add the weekly shock ~eatment?
Answer: The cantaminants in the water may coat the silver uarttidge's ceramic beads, blecking the silver ions' release into the water. When this occars, there will be no
residual of silver lens present in the water, eliminating them from the ssnilizing process.
Question: How often should the Monarch® silver cartridge be replaced?
Answer: The cartridge must he replaced every tour months. Please refer to the instnJctmns provided with each SPA FROG silver cartridge.
Queation: Can I use the Monarch silver ca~dge with the SPA FROG water care system?
Answer: The Monarch silver carthdge is not compatible with SPA FROG or with bromine.
COMMON WATER CHEMISTRY QUESTIONS
Why is the use a floatar not recommended to sanitize my spa water?
Wa~dns Manufactudng Caporatien does not recommend the use of a ftoatar for three reasons:
1. The floater is unable te cantrol the rets at which the saniiJzer is disselveq into the weter. When a floater is tirst placad in a spa, the sanitizer level can be extremely
high. High sander levels can chemically bum or discolor the spa's shell or the underside of the caret. Then, after a peded of time, the sanitizer level dispensed by
the floater will fall to near zero. A Iow santiJzer level will allow viruses, bacteha or algae to grow,
2. Fleaters tend ta stsy in one area of the spa most of the time, causing this area te he expased te extreme ssnitizer levets.
3. The flooter may allow pieces of the highly caneentratsd sanitizer to fall out and sottle on the tioor er seat of the spa shell. These piecas of sanitizer will chemically
burn (blister) the spa shell. Although your spa shell is specifically designed to resist the effects of spa chemicals, no spa surfac~ can withstand this b/pa of highly
concentrated chemical. Remember, chemical abuse is specifically not covered under the ten'ns of the warran~j.
Question: When I open my spa, I smotl chlorine. How do I get dd of this smo[l?
Answer: There are [wo typec of chicdne in your spa. The first is the Free Available Chlorine, which is the chlhane available to sanitize your spa. This Free Available
21
Chlo~ne does not have an odor. The second is Chloremine, which is residue from chlortee already expended. Chloremines have a strong chlerine odor. The smeti from
Chleramines can be eliminated by ~sbed(ing" he water. If you smell chlorine in the water, your spa is reminding you to add a shock lmatmeot.
Question: Why can't I till my spa with soft water?
Answer: Soft water is essentially the same as regular water, except that most or all of the calcium has been replaced by sodium. Soft water may be corrosive to the
heater and other components. Replacement of spa components damaged by soft water is extremely expensive.
Question: I am ~ing to mcluce the number of chemicals to which my family is exposed. Do I really need to use so many chemicals and in such large amounts?
Answer, While over-exposure fa any chemical can be unheatihy, many Iow levels of chemicals are effective and beneficial. In the case of spa water, the chereicals
mcomrnended in the Caldera® Spa Water Maintenance prngrem are needed to protec~ the user from water-pome pathogens (disease-causing microbes) and to prevent
corrosion of spa components.
Question: Why isn't water chemisW damage covered by the warren'~?
Answer: The chemical levels and water quality of the water in the spa are under your direct control. Wtih proper basic care, the spa will provide many years of hot water
relaxaUon. If you are unsure about any chereicol or its usage in the spa, contact your Authorized Caldera Dealer or Watkins Manufastudng Corporation.

FILTER MAINTENANCE
At least once a week, check and dean the skimmer basket and weir to ensure proper tilter flow. Remove leaves, foreign matter, and debris, it is ve~ important to keep
your spa tilter carlddge dean and free of particles to ensure proper water flow. A dean filter permits the hydrotherapy system to function prugedy and also allows more
efficient filter cycles. Depending on how frequent~ your spa is used, we recommend cleaning the spa filter cattlidge ovary four weeks, if this is not done, the filter may
dog and mstrlet water flow, which causes improper filtration and poor jet performance.
A WARNING: The f'mquency and duratiea of use, and the number of occupants all contribute to determining the apamFiate time between filter cleanings. Mom use
means that mom frequent tilter cleanings will be required.
FILTER CARTRIDGE REMOVAL AND CLEANING
1. Turn the power to the spa OFF, then proneed es tollews:
Push down slightly and tom tilter basket counterclockwise to unlock, then pull the basket and weir out.
3. Carefully pull up the filter cartridge and bitng it out of the spa.
Rinse carlridge using a garden hose. Rotate and separate tilter pleats while spmyleg water to remove all debris possible. Let the tilter d~y and then look for caldum
deposits (scaling) or an oil tilm. If you find these, you will need to deep clean your filter cartridge with a "spa filter cleaning" solution to break down and remove
mineral depseits and oils.
5. Install filter then mp~ace basket and weir by inseritng and rotating clockwise to lock into Ix~ition.
CARE OF THE SPA PILLOWS
Spa pillows will provide years of comfort if treated with cam. They have been pesiitoned above the water level to minimize the bleaching effects of chlorinated water and
other spa water chemicals. To extend their life, whenever the spa shell is being cleaned, the spa pillows should be mmeved and doaned. Body oils can be removed with
a mild soap and water solution. ALWAYS rinse otf the spa pillows thoroughly to remove any soap residue. If the spa is not going to be used for a long palled of time (that
is dudng a vacation or if the spa is winterized), or when the spa water is being super-chlednated, the spa pillows shou!d be removed until the next use of the spa.
To remove and replace the spa pillows:
1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away fTom the spa shell.
2. Continue tiffing one end until all pillow retainers om released from the pillow
IMPORTANT: Just pulling the pillow straight up and eat of the shell mcass will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered under warranty
23
3. To reinstallthe spa pillow, carefully hand the pillow slightly to allow o~e of the pillow retainers to slip into the recess in the hack of the pillow.
4. Keeping the pillow slightly haat, slide the other pillow retainer into the recess in the back of the pillow.
5. After all the pillow mtainem are in place, press the pilbw down into the recess in the spa shell.
DIVERTER VALVE MAINTENANCE
If your Cumharland ® spa's diverler valve becomes ditflcult to fum, it is likely that send or grit has become lodged inside the valve body. It is very impodant that this debris
is removed as seon as passible to avoid damage to the valve. To accomplish this, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off power to the spa,
2. Remove the diverter vane's haodle by pulling upward while rocking it back and forth.
3. Unscrewthe cap dng.
4. Remove the valve ~3dy by pulling it upward.
5. Wipe the vane body and the interior walls of the vane clean.
6. Lubricate the o-dngs with a waterproof lubricant available from your Calderse dealer.
7. Reassemble ~ valve and turn on power to the spa.
CARE OF THE EXTERIOR
SPA SHELL
Your Caldera spa has a granite-like er smooth acrylic shell. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your spa's surface. A solt rag er a nyk~n soulY~er should easily
remove most dirt. Most household shemicals are han'nfel to your spa's shall. Watkins Manufaotudng Corp. moommende Soft Scrub® aed Wledex®. These are the only
products which have passed the manufacturer's tests. Sodium bicarbonate (hakJng soda) can also ha used for minor Surface cleaning. Always thoroughly dnso off any
spa shell doaning agent with fresh water.
SERVICE NOTES:
1. Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Ask your Caldera dealer for a stain and scale Inhibitor to use if your spa water has
a high concentration of diseolved minerals.
2. The use of alcohol or any household cleanem other than those listed to doan the spa shell surfece is NOT moommonded. DO NOT use any deening products
containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell surface. NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICALSl Damage to the shell by the use of harsh chemicals
is not covered under the wa~nly.
IMPORTANT: Some surface cleaners contain eye and skin irritants. Keep all deeners out of the reach of children and use care when app~ng.
CARE OF THE SPA COVER
,A WARNING: The cover is a manual ssfoly cover that meats er exceeds all pmvailleg requirements of AS~M Standards for spa safely corem when installed and used
correctly as of the dele of manufe~m. No.secured er improgedy secured covers am a hazard. Open the cover to its fully open position hafora uso.
VINYL COVER
The vinyl spa cover is an attrac~ve, durable foam insulation product Monthly cleaning aod conditioning are recommended to maintain its beauly.
To clean and condition the vinyl cover:
1. Remove the cover from the spa and gently lean it against a wall or fence.
2. With a garden hose, spray the cover to leoson and rinse away dirt or debds.
3. Using a large sponge aod/er a soft bristle brush, and using a very mild soap sotu~n (1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid with 2 gallons of water) or baking soda
(sodium bicarbonate), scrub the vinyl top in a circular motion, Do not let the vinyl dry with a soap film on it before it can de rinsed dean.
4, Scrub the cover's perimeter and side flaps. Rinse clean with water.
5. Rinso off the underside of the cever with water only (uas no soap), and wipa it clean with a dry rag.
SERVICE NOTE: To remove tree sep, use dgarette lighter fluid n(.q.QJ charcoal lighter fluid). Use sparingly, and itnso with a saddle soap solution immediately

NON-OPERATION IN COLD CLIMATE
If the spa is to be left unused for an extended podod of time in areas whore FREEZING TEMPERATURES DO NOT OCCUR, it may be desirable to turn the heater to
tho Iowast temperature. The automatic ftlter cycles will keep the spa water clean and spadding. When preparing tho spa for use, check the water chemiel~ to assure
correct chlorine or bromine and pH levels.
You can keep the water in the spa during the hme of year whon freezing at the spa Iocafiea may occur. If a freeze condif, on is detected, tho pump and heater will be
activated automatically to circulate the water in Iow speed. However, CAUTION must be used with this approach. In the event of electrical power interruption, regardless
of the cause, tho heater and pump will stop operating and freeze protection will be lost, possibly resulting in freeze damage to the spa, spa plumbing and/or cornpooants.
Such damage is net covered by wananty.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
If the spa is Icoaled where freezing temporetures occur, and you do not intend
to use your spa for an extended poded, ~low steps 1 through 7 outlined in
