Resumen del manual
Unlike chlorine, it can break down bacteria and other impurities to a safe level with a low burn-out rate. Bromine is available in both granulated and tablet form. Use granulated bromine to establish your bromine base. Use tablets to maintain it. When you begin with fresh water, add 2 ounces of granulated bromide. Open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed. This is your base bromine level as the tablets will take a while to dissolve. Place three or four bromine tablets in the chamber inside the floater. Follow the maintenance schedule on page 35. Testing For: Ideal Range (ppm) Minimum Maximum Chlorine level Without ozonator With ozonator 3.0 5.0 2.0 4.0 Bromine level Without ozonator With ozonator 6.7 11.0 5.7 10.0 Shocking the Water In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spa’s water and improves your sanitizer’s effectiveness. Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. Only use an oxidizer shock. It can be used with either chlorine or bromine sanitizers. Add one ounce of oxidizer shock once a week, after heavy bather loads, or if the water has a strong odor. Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals. Chemical Safety Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles, packages. Failure to follow chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death. Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended in the Clear Water Plan or on chemical bottles and packages. Never change chemical brands or types without completely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning the spa and cover first. Never mix chemicals together. Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin, eyes or clothing. 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. 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. Filter Cleaning The filter is the part of your spa that removes the debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a regular basis to maximize your spa’s filtering performance and heating efficiency. In addition to spraying off the filter weekly to remove surface debris, your filter should be deep cleaned periodically to dissolve scale and particles that get lodged deep within the filter fibers and impede the filtration process. Even if the filter looks clean, scale and particles 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. We recommend you clean your filter once a month and replace it once a year or as necessary. Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise, 1. unscrewing the bottom threads, then pulling it up and out. Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep 2. enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of liquid filter cleaner to the bucket of water. Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare filter to use in the spa while the dirty filter is being deep cleaned. This way, you can rotate the filters and both will last longer. Twist off the tablet tube and set it aside3. Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours.4. Spray the filter with a water hose. Spray each 5. pleat carefully. Put fresh bromine in the tablet tube (if you use 6. it as a sanitizer) and twist it back on top of the filter. Reinstall the filter. Do not overtighten.7. Bather Load “Bather Load” is the term used to describe the number of people using a spa, combined with the length of usage, and the frequency of usage. All these factors have a great effect on the spa water. The higher the bather load, the more chemicals need to be added and a longer filtration time will be needed. All versions of the Cal Spas Clear Water Plan are designed for spas with average bather load (3 to 4 people, 15 minutes of usage, three times a week at 100 degrees) If your bather load exceeds these guidelines, and you experience water quality problems, increase the amount of filtration first, (go to the next higher filtration number) then if water quality is still not adequate, consult the advice of your Cal Spas dealer for additional chemical or system recommendations. Be sure to give them your bather load information. Starting the Spa with Fresh Water Prior to filling a spa for the first time, or after a routine draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to extend water life and performance. As with all chemical dosages listed in these Clear Water Plans, start-up dosages are ...
