Filtration
Filtration is one of the most important steps you can
take to ensure clean, clear water. Regardless of what
some people may think, it is far less expensive to fix
water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by
using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive
filtration times, or by water replacement.
Cal Spas™ filtration system draws contaminated water
through the exclusive Bio-Clean™ filter removing
debris from the water. It then pumps the newly cleaned
water back into the spa through various jets. Spas
equipped with the optional Quest 2000 Ozonator will
also receive ozone injection into the filtered water for
further protection against contaminants during filtration
cycles. Filtration also ensures that chemicals are mixed
thoroughly through the water, increasing performance.
Filtration starts on electronically controlled spas as
soon as the pumps are primed and water flow is
steady. As the flow of water goes through the filter, dirt
and debris is removed and accumulated in the filter
cartridge. As the filter cartridge accumulates dirt and
debris, water flow is restricted and jet performance is
reduced. This can cause your spa to not run or heat
effectively.
Clean your filter regularly and replace as needed.
Filter Cleaning
Your new Cal Spa has been designed for quick and
easy filter maintenance. The filter cartridge should be
cleaned once a week. These instructions apply to both
dual and single filtration systems.
1. Turn the power off at the breaker.

2. Remove the filter cover (if applicable) by rotating
the cover counterclockwise and lifting it off.
3. Remove the filter basket. With some types you may
need to align the flat areas on the filter basket and
the canister.
4. Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise
and unscrewing the bottom threads. Then pull it up
and out.
5. Clean the filter with a garden hose as follows:
a. Hold the filter vertically.
b. Spray the filter cartridges with a pressure
nozzle, starting from the top and spraying down
each pleat.
c. Turn the filter cartridge over and repeat Step
5b.
d. Reinstall the filter cartridge in reverse order of
removal.
e. Deep clean filter cartridge every month. Use
only a Cal Spas™-approved filter-cleaning
chemical.
Exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge is designed to remove dirt, sand,
minerals, phosphates, bather waste and other solids
from the spa. Unfortunately, some spa owners fail
to include filter cleaning as part of their chemical
maintenance plan. Filters accumulate debris and
become prime areas for bacteria growth.
The Cal Spas™ exclusive Bio-Clean™ Filter is the only
antibacterial filter cartridge on the market today. Having
a filter cartridge that prevents bacteria growth is added
protection for those times you forget to clean the filter.
We recommend that you only replace your spa's filter
cartridge with a Bio-Clean™ filter cartridge for ensured
protection and peace of mind.
