Water QualIty and
maIntenance
BASIC INFORMATION
It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the
least understood, yet most important, areas of spa ownership. Your
dealer can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining
balanced water in your spa, given your local conditions.
IMPORTANT: Water Terminology can be found at the end of this
section.
Always read & refer to the owner's manual for complete information.
Test your water with a test strip once a week, or each time the spa is
used.
Add chemicals in frequent small amounts to prevent overdosing the
spa.
Use the spa only when the chlorine level is between 1-5 ppm
manually add chlorine as needed.
It is the spa owner's responsibility to prevent over or under
chlorination.
IMPORTANT: Remember to change your water every three to four
months (up to 1 year when using the FRESHWATER Salt System).
Check with your CALDERA dealer to determine if water in your region
has unique qualities - such as high metal or mineral content - that should
be addressed, especially when using the FRESHWATER Salt System.
Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content, how often
you use your spa, and how many people use it.

Maintaining the water quality and the cleanliness of the filters in your spa
is your responsibility. Keeping the spa water balanced prolongs the life
of the spa components and will make the water more comfortable. Your
dealer can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining
perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will
depend on your waters mineral content, how often you use your spa,
and how many people use it. WATKINS WELLNESS has developed
several water care systems and products to simplify water care which
are available from authorized CALDERA dealers.

CHEMICAL SAFETY
When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions
precisely. Though chemicals protect you and your spa when used
correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form. Always observe
the following guidelines:
Allow only a responsible person to handle spa chemicals. Keep them
out of the reach of children.
Accurately measure the exact quantities specified, never more. Do not
overdose your spa.
Handle all containers with care. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated
place.
Always keep chemical containers closed when not in use. Replace
caps on their proper containers.
Don't inhale fumes, or allow chemicals to come in contact with your
eyes, nose, or mouth. Wash your hands immediately after use.
Follow the emergency advice on the product label in case of accidental
contact, or if the chemical is swallowed. Call a doctor or the local
Poison Control Center. If a doctor is needed, take the product container
along with you so that the substance can be identified.
Don't let chemicals get on surrounding surfaces or landscaping. Don't
use a vacuum cleaner to clean up chemical spills.
Never smoke around chemicals. Some fumes can be highly flammable.
Don't store any chemicals in the spa equipment compartment.
HOW TO ADD CHEMICALS
TO THE WATER
IMPORTANT: All spa water chemicals must always be added directly
into or in front of the filter compartment while a jet pump is running, and
it must run for a minimum of ten minutes.
TO ADMINISTER SPA WATER CHEMICALS:
1. Fold back the cover and remove the filter compartment cover.
2. To activate the Clean Cycle, press on the Home Screen and
Start below Clean Screen.
3. Carefully measure the recommended amount of chemical and
slowly pour it over the filter basket area. Use care not to splash
chemicals on your hands, in your eyes, on the spa sheet surface, or
on the siding.
4. Replace the filter compartment cover and close the spa cover.
Risk of Drowning: Never leave an open spa unattended!
WARNING: High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s
eyes, lungs and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the
recommended range before using the spa.
IMPORTANT “SUPER CHLORINATION/NON-CHLORINE SHOCK
TREATMENT” NOTE: After administering a super chlorination treatment
or non-chlorine shock to your spa, leave the cover open for a minimum
of 20 minutes to allow the oxidizer gas to vent. A high concentration
of trapped oxidizer gas which may exist as a result of the shock
treatment (not daily sanitation) may eventually cause discoloration or
vinyl degradation to the bottom of the cover. This type of damage is
considered chemical abuse and is not covered under the terms of the
limited warranty.
