Efficiency Mode - Filtration Schedule

When using this mode, the compressor's speed is set to heat or cool the water within 60% of the
circulation pump's filtration time period. This is the highest efficiency operational mode, providing the
lowest cost of operation.

l

Example - If the filtration period is set from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, the system attempts to bring the water to
set point by 4:00 pm at optimal performance.

PLEASE NOTE:

Setting a filtration schedule outside the current circulation pump's schedule will cause
an incorrect efficiency mode.
