HYDRO JETS
AdaptaFlo
TM
Jets – The larger jets in your spa allow you to re-direct the jet stream by changing the position of the nozzle.
You can also regulate the force of the massage by rotating the jet face clockwise to reduce the force or counter-clockwise to increase the force. Notice that turning off
the flow to some jets increases the flow to the other jets. To avoid damage to your spa’s plumbing and components, do not turn off more than half of these jets at the
same time.
AdaptaSsage
TM
rotating nozzles are available from your dealer to replace the directional adjustable nozzles in the AdaptaFlo Jets.
Euro Directional Jets – The Euro Directional jets, with eyeball nozzles, deliver a direct, more focused massage. You may purchase additional Euro-Pulse
®
assemblies
from your Caldera
®
dealer. The Euro-Pulse jet features a special insert that creates a soft, pulsating, rotary massage. If you desire, you may install a Euro-Pulse jet in
place of any of the Euro Directional jet by rotating the jet face counter clockwise and pull it off. Remove the nozzle and ring seat. Then simply insert the spinner body
and twist Euro-Pulse Jet face into place.
DIVERTER VALVE
The diverter valve on the Cumberland
®
spa model allows you to direct the flow of water from the pump to several combinations of jets. The functions of this diverter valve
can best be learned by experimentation as follows:
1. Set all air controls to the “ON” position by rotating counterclockwise.
2. Turn on the pump.
3. Turn the handle on the diverter valve and see which groups of jets are affected. (Note that you can adjust the diverter valve to any position between the two possible
extremes to achieve the jet pressure that feels best to you.)
IMPORTANT: Your spa is not designed to provide full power to all jets when the diverter valve is in the “mid” position.
WATERFALL VALVE
The Olympia spa is equipped with a cascading waterfall feature. It is activated by pressing JETS and turning the valve, located on the front interior wall, counterclockwise.
The flow is regulated by turning the waterfall valve to the desired position.
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 perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content, how often you use
your spa, and how many people use it.
WATER TERMINOLOGY
The following chemical terms are used in this Water Quality and Maintenance section. Understanding their meaning will help you to better understand the water
maintenance process.
Bromamines: Compounds formed when bromine combines with nitrogen from body oils, urine, perspiration, etc. Unlike chloramines, bromamines have no pungent odor
and are effective sanitizers.
Bromine: A halogen sanitizer that is commonly used in stick, tablet, or granular form. The SPA FROG® sanitizing system is the only solid bromine-approved system. See
the DO’s and DON’Ts of Spa Water Maintenance for additional information.
Calcium Hardness: The amount of dissolved calcium in the spa water. This should be approximately 150-400 ppm. High levels of calcium can cause cloudy water and
scaling. Low levels can cause harm to the spa equipment.
Chloramines: Compounds formed when chlorine combines with nitrogen from body oils, urine, perspiration, etc. Chloramines can cause eye irritation as well as having a
strong odor. Unlike bromamines, chloramines are weaker, slower sanitizers.
Chlorine: An efficient sanitizing chemical for spas. Watkins
®
Manufacturing Corporation recommends the use of sodium dichlor-type granulated chlorine. This type is
preferred because it is totally soluble and nearly pH neutral.
Chlorine (or Bromine) Residual: The amount of chlorine or bromine remaining after chlorine or bromine demand has been satisfied. The residual is, therefore, the
amount of sanitizer which is chemically available to kill bacteria, viruses and algae.
Corrosion: The gradual wearing away of metal spa parts, usually caused by chemical action. Generally, corrosion is caused by low pH or by water with levels of TA, CH,
pH or sanitizer which are outside the recommended ranges.
DPD: The preferred reagent used in test kits to measure the Free Available Chlorine.
Halogen: Any one of these five elements: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
MPS: Monopersulfate is a non-chlorine oxidizer.
Ozidizer: The use of an oxidizing chemical is to prevent the buildup of contaminants, maximize sanitizer efficiency, minimize combined chlorine and improve water clarity.
Ozone: Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent which is produced in nature and artificially by man. Ozone forms no by-products of chloramines (ozone actually oxidizes
chloramines) and will not alter the water’s pH.
