THE CALDERA SPA WATER

MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

FILLING THE SPA WITH WATER

Use the CLEAN SCREEN pre-filter to remove unwanted contaminants

such as rust, dirt, detergents, and algae from the fill water. Dissolved

metals, copper, iron, and manganese are also removed. Instructions are

included with the CLEAN SCREEN pre-filter. Always fill the spa through

the filter compartment. Do not fill your spa using water from a swimming

pool as pool

chemicals are very different from those used in a spa and

can damage your spa.

ADDING CHEMICALS TO THE WATER

All spa water chemicals, including granulated dichlor, MPS, granulated

pH increaser or decreaser, granulated total alkalinity increaser, liquid

stain and scale inhibitor, and liquid defoamer must always be added

directly into the filter compartment while the jet pump is running in its

high speed mode, and it must run for a minimum of ten minutes with the

cover off. Use the Clean icon feature to ensure that the chemicals are

properly mixed when adding.

BUILDING A SANITIZER ROUTINE

During the first month of ownership, measure the sanitizer residual

daily in order to establish a baseline of sanitizer needed vs. spa usage.

Sanitizer needed is the amount of Free Available Chlorine needed to

accommodate the number of users and their combined usage time. For

example, two spa users for twenty minutes every day creates regular

demand on the sanitizer that is used to determine how much sanitizer

to add in order to maintain the proper residual. If the usage pattern

increases dramatically with invited guests, the amount and frequency of

sanitizer required increases dramatically.

PERFORMING SUPER CHLORINATION/

NON-CHLORINE SHOCK TREATMENT

A weekly or monthly super chlorination (1.5 tsp dichlor/950 liters (250

gallons)) or shock (4 tbsp mps/950 liters (250 gallons)) may be required

of your chosen sanitation program. Increasing chlorine to 5 ppm for

24-48 hours removes excess waste and chloramines from the water.

Sodium dichlor is 6x stronger than MPS and may be a more appropriate

for those users that experience heavy bather load conditions. Operate all

jets and leave the cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the

oxidizer gas to vent to prevent damage and discoloration to the cover

and pillows after administering a super chlorination or shock to your spa.

This type of damage is considered chemical abuse and is not covered

under the terms of the limited warranty.

IMPORTANT

: Always allow the Free Available Chlorine to fall below

5 ppm before using your spa.

DANGER: Never leave an open spa unattended, especially if

there are children present!

FRESHWATER SALT SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)

The FRESHWATER Salt System converts water and sodium chloride

salt into chlorine sanitizer. The FRESHWATER Salt System is

compatible with chlorine based systems and chemicals. Although the

system is reduced manintenance, it is not automatic. It is important that

the user regularly tests and balances the water. A calcium hardness

between 25-75 ppm is recommended to extend the life of the hardware.

Consult the FRESHWATER Salt System manual for additional

instructions.

ADDITIONAL WATER CARE PRODUCTS

• CLEAN SCREEN Pre-filter

• Concentrated Chlorinating Granules, Sodium Dichlor

• Chlorine-Free Oxidizer, Monopersulfate (MPS)

• High output ozone system

• Silver Ion purifier

The Silver Ion purifier introduces silver ions into the spa water via

erosion of silver infused beads, which inhibits bacteria growth. When

combined with MPS or chlorine, waste is oxidized and removed from

the water.

It is important to follow the recommended application and maintenance

programs outlined for each product’s use. If the spa is being used over

an extended period of time, such as a whole afternoon or evening,

additional sanitizer will be needed.

Required: Super Chlorinate/Shock the spa weekly to reactivate the silver

ion cartridge, allow the release of silver ions, and quickly destroy any

remaining contaminants. Without weekly shock treatment, the silver ion

cartridge may stop releasing silver ions into the water.

IMPORTANT: Use only granulated sodium dichlor or liquid chlorine

sanitizer. Silver is not compatible with bromine and biguanides. Don't use

a water clarifier. Clarifiers will cause the spa water to become cloudy.

MANUAL CHLORINE (SODIUM DICHLOR)

WATKINS WELLNESS recommends the use of

Concentrated

Chlorinating Granules (sodium dichlor) for sanitizing the water. Sodium

dichlor is preferred because it is totally soluble, dissolves quickly, and is

nearly pH neutral. The recommended Free Available Chlorine (FAC), the

amount of available chlorine sanitize the spa,

3.0-5.0ppm.

If the FAC is too low: Increase the FAC by adding granulated sodium

dichlor.

If the FAC is too high: Allow time to pass and the FAC level will

naturally drop over time.

If the spa smells of chlorine: super chlorinate or shock the spa FAC

chlorine does not have an odor whereas combined spent chlorine

(chloramines) has a strong chlorine odor that can be eliminated by

shocking the water.

IMPORTANT: There are several forms of stabilized chlorine available

for use in spas and swimming pools. It is extremely important to choose

one specifically designed for spas. Use of an incorrect product such

as tri-chlor which has a very low pH (2.6) and dissolves too quickly

in hot water, results in extremely high levels of chlorine that WILL

cause damage to your spa. Use of a compressed bromine/chlorine or

unapproved sanitizer WILL damage your spa and is specifically not

covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
