Spa Care and Maintenance
Your CALDERA spa is manufactured from the highest quality, most
durable materials available. Even so, the spa care and maintenance
program you develop will ultimately determine how long your spa, and its
individual components, will last. Regular maintenance and following the
advice in this section will help you to protect your investment.
DRAIN & REFILL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended to refill your spa when the ambient
temperature goes below 10° C (50° F).
1. Disconnect the spa from the power supply by tripping the RCD
breaker located in the subpanel.
2. Locate the drain valve for the spa (lower front of the spa) and
remove the drain cap. Attach the inlet of a garden hose to the drain
valve (to avoid flooding of the foundation surrounding the spa) and
route the outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining area. Spa
water with a high sanitizer level may harm plants and grass.
3. Open the drain valve by turning the knob. The spa will drain by
gravitational flow.
IMPORTANT: All CALDERA spa models will drain to the bottom of
the suction fitting, use vacuum side of shop vac to remove remaining
water. Any water remaining within the plumbing or equipment after
draining will only need to be removed if the spa is being winterized.
4. When empty, inspect the spa shell and clean as required. (Follow the
Care of the Exterior instructions.)
5. Close the drain valve by reinstall the drain cap.
6. Install new filter or clean existing with a filter cleaner.
7. Refill the spa through the filter compartment using the CLEAN
SCREEN pre-filter
.
IMPORTANT: Refill water temperature must be between 10º -21º C
(50° - 70° F) to avoid high-limit tripping.
8. Follow the Quick Start-Up instructions on page 14.
COLD WATER REFILL
Should it be necessary to drain and refill your spa in temperatures
below 10° C (50° F), the spa may go into a High Limit Protection mode
(causing your spa to stop functioning) if the tap water is below
10° C (50° F). Blending warm water with the cold tap water so it
exceeds 10° C (50° F) during the refilling process will prevent the spa
from going into the High Limit Protection mode if that is an option for you.
PREVENTION OF FREEZING
Your spa has been designed and engineered for year-round use in any
climate. In some areas, extremely cold temperatures
(below -12° C or 10° F) combined with strong wind, may cause partial
freezing of the jet pump, even though the water inside the spa remains
at the selected temperature. The energy efficiency of the spa may
also decrease during these cold periods, as the heater will cycle more
frequently. As an additional precaution against partial freezing of some of
the components, the equipment compartment can be insulated with an
insulating kit (available from your local dealer). This insulating kit will also
help to maximize the spa’s energy efficiency.
NOTE: When warmer weather returns (approx. 16°-21°C / 60-70°F), the
insulating kit must be removed to prevent overheating of the jet pump.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
If you leave the spa unused for a long period of time in severely cold
weather, you should drain the spa and winterize it to avoid accidental
freezing due to a power or equipment failure.
DANGER: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze (available
at most RV or marine supply stores). This is non-toxic. Never use an
automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol) since it is toxic!
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions correctly can lead to
freeze damage not covered by warranty. It is strongly recommended that
you contact your local CALDERA dealer to perform this service
1. Drain your spa following the Drain & Refill Instructions. Open
waterfall valve.
2. Remove the filter cartridge, clean and store in a dry place.
IMPORTANT: These additional instructions must be utilized when
draining and winterizing your spa in climates where the temperature
falls below 0°C (32°F). A 20 liters combination (vacuum/blower)
wet/dry shop vac must be used to effectively remove water that is
trapped inside the plumbing lines.
3. Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum side of the shop vac.
Vacuum all openings and orifices as follows:
a. Jet openings: start with the jets at the top and move downward
(if suction is coming from another jet, block off the other jet
using a large rag this will help pull out the water that is trapped
deeper inside the main line).
b. Filter suction fittings and filter compartment.
c. Main drain outlet (it may be necessary to cover the drain grate
tightly with a rag when vacuuming the main drain to ensure
water is drawn completely from the internal plumbing system).
4. Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.
5. Replace the main drain cap.
CAUTION: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze. This is
non-toxic. Never use an automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol)
since it is toxic!
6. Using a long-extension funnel, pour anti-freeze into all standpipes,
filter suction fittings, jet orifices and water feature orifices. Add
enough anti-freeze to ensure adequate protection – in many cases,
you will see the liquid in the orifice, or coming out of another
location.
7. Close the spa cover and fasten the cover tie downs. Cover the spa
cover with two pieces of plywood to evenly distribute the weight of
snow and ice. Secure a plastic sheet, or tarp, over the spa cover
and plywood.
8. Replace the equipment access door, if removed.
