Whirlpool System You can enjoy the Quantum Plus spa with or without activating the whirlpool. Either way, bathing in your spa can be pleasurable, as well as therapeutic.

Turning off the flow at the fully adjustable jets will dramatically increase the Water Rain- bow flow.
www.clearcreekspas.com MAINTENANCE Maintenance Water Quality and Water Chemistry Maintaining water quality and water chemistry in your spa is extremely important and should be a regular part of your spa maintenance program, as a neglected spa can be a breeding place for dangerous bacteria. The water quality of your spa is maintained by a combination of filtration and chemistry.
www.clearcreekspas.com cially for spas. The test kit must be of the type which allows you to test for the disinfectant (chlorine) level, pH, and total alkalinity. Make sure, that chemicals used in your spa are especially for spa use, and not for swimming pools, as water quality maintenance of spas and swimming pools is very different.
www.clearcreekspas.com MAINTENANCE Water Chemistry Disinfecting (continued) return to the 2.0 to 5.0 ppm range before using the spa again. Do not install a rigid cover during this procedure until the disinfectant level is back to normal. High concentrations of chlorine or bromine will damage metallic plated finishes if the cover is in place. Balancing pH: For good hygiene and longevity, maintain the pH of your spa water according to the instructions provided.
www.clearcreekspas.com 13 www.clearcreekspas.
www.clearcreekspas.com MAINTENANCE Water Level/Drain The water level in the spa must be maintained at its normal level. Evaporation and splashing will cause the water level to drop. When concentrations of impurities from evaporation, water quality chemicals, body oils, perfumes, dirty feet, and winds, etc., accumulate in the spa and cannot be filtered out, it is necessary to drain your spa and refill it with fresh water. This should be done every 2 months or more often, depending on the amount of use.
www.clearcreekspas.com housing and replace the basket, reversing the above procedure. Oils will coat the filters, resulting in a reduced flow. To remove such materials, soak the cartridges in a plastic pail containing a commercial filter cleaning solution (available from most pool supply stores). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Another method is to soak the filter cartridges in a plastic pail containing a mild solution of tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) and water.
www.clearcreekspas.com MAINTENANCE Automatic Filtration/Maintenance If you plan to be away, you should maintain minimum water quality by running the filter system. To do this, set the timer to turn the system on for at least two hours each day. This will cause the filter system to turn on at a desired time. Set the timer according to instructions on page 8 with the SYSTEM switch OFF.
www.clearcreekspas.com CAUTION: Not winterizing will cause irreversible dam- age (at freezing temperatures) to the pump and/or plumbing lines. Note: If the spa is to be used during winter in a cold climate, see warm climate instructions below. In a warm climate where there are occasional freezing temperatures, follow this procedure: 1. Select the HTR/FILTER mode. 2. Set the thermostat to its minimum temperature 7° to 10°C (45° to 50°F) by turning the dial all the way counterclockwise. 3.
www.clearcreekspas.com MAINTENANCE Spa Light Covering Your Spa Two lenses, one blue and one red, are provided with your spa. To change the lens, simply pull the lens out of the fitting and replace it with the desired colored lens. Two replacement bulbs (GE Model 912, 12W, 12V) are also included. Put them in a safe place for future use. When a bulb burns out, replace it from the back of the light fitting, pulling out the bulb receptacle.

www.clearcreekspas.com Alternate Use of Water Rainbow Spout as Fill Spout You can use your Water Rainbow spout as a fill spout by permanently plumbing it to a fresh water supply if local codes permit. Local plumbing codes may require the use of an anti-siphon valve for such a connection. Do not interconnect water supply with recirculating system of the spa. To make the connections necessary to use the Water Rainbow as a fill spout, follow this procedure: • Make sure spa is unplugged and completely drained.
