Regardless of whatsome people may think, it is far less expensive tofix water clarity problems by filtering your spa thanby using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessivefiltration times, or by water replacement.Cal Spas™ filtration system draws contaminated waterthrough the exclusive Bio-Clean™ filter removingdebris from the water. It then pumps the newlycleaned water back into the spa through various jets.Spas equipped with the optional Quest 2000 Ozonatorwill also receive ozone injection into the filtered waterfor further protection against contaminants duringfiltration cycles. Filtration also ensures that chemicalsare mixed thoroughly through the water, increasingperformance.Filtration starts on electronically controlled spas assoon as the pumps are primed and water flow issteady. As the flow of water goes through the filter, dirtand debris is removed and accumulated in the filtercartridge. As the filter cartridge accumulates dirt anddebris, water flow is restricted and jet performance isreduced.
