Use  sodium  bromide  test  strips  (not  bromine)  and 
adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates 
to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS level).

Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to help burn 

out impurities in fill water.

Turn  the  dial  on  the  bromine  generator  clockwise 
until the LED display reads 10.

This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank.

Set the filtration cycle to “continuous” (F-C) for the 

first 24 hours.

Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to desired 
temperature.

After  start  up,  decrease  the  filtration  cycle  to  F-4 
and  monitor  the  bromine  level  until  it  is  within  the 
recommended range.

Use  bromine  test  strips  to  achieve  a  3-5  ppm 
recommended level.

Note: It can take several days for the bromine level to 

stabilize because the fill water that was used sometimes 
contains  contaminants  that  need  to  be  neutralized, 
thereby using up the initial bromine that is generated.

Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the 
dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved. 

The  common  maintenance  setting  for  an  average 
bather load is #4.

When  changing  the  setting,  use  bromine  test  strips  to 
determine when you have reached the level you want.

Test spa water with bromine test strip.

Based on test strip readings:

Adjust alkalinity if necessary. 

Adjust pH if necessary.

Increase  /  decrease  bromine  production  with 
dial if required.

Remove dirty filter from the spa and rinse off.
Place your clean, extra filter cartridge back into the 
spa.

Add 2 oz of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to spa. Run 
spa for 15 minutes

Vacuum debris from the bottom of your spa with the 
“Spa Vacuum”.

Replace cover.

Regardless  of  which  Clear  Water  Plan  you  are  using, 
you should also do the following:

Deep clean your spa’s filter. (Follow filter cleaning 
instruction at beginning of Clear Water Plan)

Check inside the equipment area for leaks, rodents, 
and insects.

If a leak is discovered, contact your Cal Spas dealer 
for service.

If  you  see  evidence  of  rodents  or  insects,  take 
necessary actions to remove them and precautions 
to prevent them from returning. 

Drain  and  clean  your  spa  with  “Multi-Purpose 
Cleaner”.

Polish the acrylic surface with “Fast Sheen”.

Clean  and  treat  spa  cover,  pillows,  and  Cal  Select

When re-filling your spa, follow your specific Clear 
Water Plan Start Up procedures.

If you are using the Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine 
Generator Clear Water Plan, don’t forget to add new 
TRU BLU sodium bromide to the water.

Clean  and  treat  redwood  spa  cabinets  and 
gazebos  with  “Nu-Spa  Redwood  Stain  Renew  and 
Brightener”.

If you use the Cal Zone Quest 2000 Ozonator, you 
will need to replace the ozone cartridge.

Check the filter cartridge pleats. If they are frayed, 
replace the cartridge.
