TEMPERATURE PROGRAM KEYS

: The 

Up/Down Temperature Program keys are 
used to set the desired water temperature. 
Press the Up or Down keys to Increase (or 

decrease) the desired temperature setting. The temperature 
can be adjusted in 1ºF increments from 59ºF to 104ºF (or 15ºC 
to 40º C). The desired temperature setting will remain in the 
display for 5 seconds as confirmation of the new value, after 5 
seconds the display will return to display the present water 
temperature. 

NOTE

:  The Temperature Program Indicator will 

appear to indicate that the temperature in the display is the 
desired-programmed temperature and not the actual water 
temperature.

HEATER OPERATION

: When the water temperature drops 

1ºF lower than the desired temperature, the heater will be 
turned on until the water temperature reaches the desired 
temperature plus 1ºF. The Heater On Indicator will appear on 
the function panel when it is on. The Heater On Light Indicator 
will blink on the function panel whenever there is a call for heat 
and the heater has not yet been activated.

FREEZE PROTECTION

: When the system senses cold 

temperatures, it will automatically engage the freeze protection 
mode for a monitoring period of 24 hours.  During this time, the 
pump will operate for 1 minute every 2 hours to circulate warm 
water through the plumbing.  When the pump is running due to 
this feature, the Filter Cycle Indicator on the spaside panel will 
blink.  Filter Cycles will operate as determined by the program-
ming and will not be affected by the Freeze Protection Mode. 

HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

: If the water temper-

ature exceeds 122ºF at the High Temperature probe, the 
system will display the message HL and will turn the heater off.  
After the water temperature has cooled down, pressing any 
key on the spaside panel control will allow the system to 
restart.  If the spa water temperature does not seem to be 
elevated, the HL reading may have been caused by poor water 
flow or electrical line interference (e.g. thunderstorms, voltage 
surges, etc.). Simply reset and monitor the system.  See 
Troubleshooting, page 17.  

NOTE

: The Freeze Protection 

Circuit is in effect at all times that there is power applied to the 
system and will automatically engage if needed.

DEFAULT SYSTEM OPERATIONS

: When power is applied, or 

there is a temporary loss of power, the system will initiate it's 
default programming. The filter cycle starts 24 hours after the 
system has been powered up, filters for one hour, and then 
repeats every 24 hours. The maintained temperature will 
default to 100º F. The freeze protection feature will stay in 
effect.  If a power loss condition is experienced, the spaside 
display will blink until any key is pressed.  This feature is to let 
the user know that a power failure has occurred and that the 
Temperature Program point has returned to the default value.

JETS KEY

: The Jets key is used to turn the 

pump on or off at selected speeds. The first 
press will turn on the pump HIGH speed, the 
second press will change the pump to LOW 

speed, the third press will turn the pump off or return to a 
heat or filtration mode (see note). A built-in timer will 
shut the pump off 20 minutes after it has been started 
unless the user does so manually. When the pump is on, 
the Jets On Indicator will appear above the Jets key. 

NOTE

: You may not be able to turn the pump off if it has 

started a filtration cycle or if the spa is calling for 
additional heating. This is easily identified by observing 
the status of the "Heater On Indicator" or the "Filter 
Cycle Indicator".

LIGHT KEY

: The Light key is used to turn the 

light on or off. The first press of the Light key 
will turn the light on. A second press will turn 
the light off. The light will automatically turn 

itself off after 2 hours. When the light is on, the Light On 
Indicator will appear above the Light key.

PROGRAMMING FILTER CYCLES

: You may choose to 

filter your spa 1, 2, or 3 times daily as required to 
maintain clean, sanitary water. At the same time, press 
and release both the Jets key and the Up Arrow key.  
The current setting for filtration cycle frequency will be 
displayed. Do nothing and the control will revert to the 
Default System Operation Mode, OR, to change the 
frequency, press the Up or Down Arrow key.  Pressing 
the Jets key and Up Arrow key at the same time again 
will start a Filtration Cycle, otherwise, the first cycle will 
start 24 hours from the programming time. 

NOTE

:  The 

cycles will repeat every 24, 12, or 8 hours within a 24 
hour period, starting from the time programmed.  It is 
recommended that the system be powered up at a time 
when the programmed cycles do not interfere with 
sleeping hours.

PROGRAMMING CYCLE DURATION

: You may choose 

to filter your spa 60, 120, or 180 minutes per cycle as 
required to maintain clean, sanitary water. At the same 
time, press and release both the Light key and the Up 
Arrow key. The current setting for filtration cycle duration 
will be displayed (60,120,180). Do nothing and the 
control will revert to the Default System Operation Mode, 
OR, to change the frequency, press the Up or Down 
Arrow key. 

IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTES

: (1) If a program 

change is not made within 5 seconds, the system will 
default back to the monitoring mode. (2) While 
programming, the Pump and Light features may have 
been activated. Either can be turned off in the normal 
way after programming is complete. The display will 
return to indicate water temperature 5 seconds after the 
keys are released.
