SMART WINTER MODE/FREEZE PROTECTION:

 On 

board temperature sensors continuously monitor water and 
air temperature. If the temperature inside the control box 
falls below 59

°

F, the system will start a special program 

(Smart Winter Mode) to circulate the water in the plumbing. 
For the next 24 hours, the components will be automatically 
operated for a period of 1 minute every 2 hours to 
thoroughly circulate the water throughout the spa. The time 
between the 1-minute operations will steadily decrease as 
the air temperature inside the control box drops. If the water 
temperature sensor falls below 49

°

F, the heater will be 

activated to maintain a temperature above freezing (Freeze 
Protection). The Filtration Icon in the upper display will be 
flashing when the system has entered either safety mode. 
Only while in freeze mode are other functions of the unit 
(except the alarms) are disabled. 

Note: 

If your area 

experiences electrical power outages and the climatic 
conditions could result in freezing of the water, we suggest 
that you contact your local dealer for assistance in proper 
drainage and winterizing of your spa to avoid any damage 
that may occur from freezing temperatures. 

PRESSURE SWITCH: 

To assure proper heater operation, a 

water pressure switch has been installed to monitor the 
system. If 3 flashing dots appear below the temperature in 
the LED window, this indicates the need for system service. 
Refer to the advanced troubleshooting guide available from 
your spa retailer or contact a service technician to correct 
the problem. 

HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION: 

If the water 

temperature exceeds 119

°

F, the heater will be turned off and 

the High-Limit temperature protection circuit will display 3 
flashing dots below the temperature in the LED window. Once 
the water has cooled below 110

°

F power to the system must 

be turned off, then back on to allow the system to reset. If this 
condition persists, refer to the advanced troubleshooting 
guide available from your spa retailer or contact a service 
technician to correct the problem 

 

TEMPERATURE SENSOR: 

To assure proper temperature 

maintenance, a temperature probe has been incorporated 
into the system. If you notice the displayed temperature 
greatly differs from the actual water temperature, or if 32

°

is displayed and the correct water temperature is much 
higher, this indicates the need for system service.  Refer to 
the advanced troubleshooting guide available from your 
spa retailer, or contact a service technician to correct the 
problem
