Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine Generator

This plan and its chemical
dosages are intended for spas
equipped with the optional
Cal Clarity Automatic Bromine
Generator. The chemical
references are designed for
Cal Spas chemicals only. Note:
Following these instructions is
very important to ensure proper
operation of your Cal Clarity
Automatic Bromine Generator.
Start Up
1. Clean surface of spa with
Cal Spas "Multi-Purpose
Cleaner".
2. Apply a protective coat of
Cal Spas "Fast Sheen" to
the acrylic surface.
3. Fill spa to proper water
level with normal tap water.
(Do not use soft water.)
4. Use Bromine Test Strip and balance the spa water:
• Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range is 80-
120 ppm)
• Then adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to
7.8)
5. Pour in 16 oz. of Cal Spas "Metal Protector" to
center of spa.
6. Test for TDS (total dissolved solids, also known as
conductivity) .
• The ideal range is 50 to 300 ppm.
• TDS / conductivity must be less than 500 to
start with.
7. Phosphate level should be below 200 ppb. Remove
phosphates if necessary.
8. Determine the gallons capacity of the spa. Be
accurate as this determines the amount of TRU
BLU that will be added. Consult the Pre-Delivery
Guide for spa gallons.
9. Power up the spa and make sure all the spa's
pumps are set to high speed. Turn the dial on the
face of the Cal Clarity Bromine Generator to "OFF".
10. Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the spa, one 2
lb bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100 US
Page 26
gallons (370 liters) of water. DO NOT ADD TOO
MUCH!
Note: Since each bottle of TRU BLU will raise TDS /
conductivity amount approximately 500 ppm in a 500
gallon spa, the amount needed for your spa could be
less. It is recommended that you add half the required
amount, then follow steps 11 and 12 before adding
additional TRU BLU sodium bromide.
11. Allow spa to run for 15 minutes so the TRU BLU
can dissolve completely before proceeding to the
next step.
12. Use Sodium Bromide Test Strips (not Bromine) and
adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates
to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS / conductivity level).
13. Add 2 oz. of Cal Spas "Oxidizer Shock" to help
burn out impurities in fill water.
14. Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise
until the LED display reads 10.
15. This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank.
16. Set the filtration cycle to "continuous" (F-C) for the
first 24 hours.
17. Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to
desired temperature.
