Caldera Highland Series User Manual

• The water in the spa 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 extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia.

• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby.
• Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of

temperature-regulating devices may vary by as much as ±5°F (2°C).

• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable.

Each Caldera

®

spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the owner’s package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product Listing, should be permanently

installed where it is visible to the users of the spa. To obtain additional SAFETY SIGNS, contact your Caldera dealer and request Part #003021.

The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read and apply them.

• Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full.
• Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this manual.
• Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and cleaners.

• Leave the spa exposed to the sun without water or the vinyl cover in place. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of the shell material.
• Roll or slide the spa on its side. This will damage the siding.
• Lift or drag the cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or carry the cover by using the handles.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts 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 are not able to resolve the problem, contact your
authorized Caldera dealer. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over the telephone by an Authorized Service Technician.

You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck. Just make sure you check the following:

• Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight

of your filled spa.

• Don’t forget to level your spa before filling it (see the spa leveling preparation on the next page). 
• Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where water will drain away from it. Allowing water into the

equipment compartment can damage the electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.

• Leave yourself easy access to the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for testing. The GFCI is located at the end of the power cord, or at the subpanel of a

hard-wired spa.

• Never let water get into the subpanel or into the electrical outlet that your spa is plugged into. Consult your local code authority to determine if an electrical

outlet with a cover is required for your installation. 

• Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance.
