PROGRAMMING FILTER CYCLES:

 You may choose to filter the spa 1, 2 or 3 times per day as required to keep the water clean 

and sanitary. Press and hold the Pump Key for 5 seconds. The current setting will be displayed as F1, 2 or 3. Use the Up & Down 

Temperature Arrow keys to increase or decrease the frequency of the filtration cycles per day. The filter cycle is now set. To start 

a filter cycle immediately, press the Pump key. The cycles will repeat every 8, 12 or 24 hours within a 24-hour period starting from 

the time programmed. It is recommended to schedule the filtration cycles so they do not interfere with sleeping hours.

PROGRAMMING FILTER CYCLE DURATION:

 You may choose to filter your spa 1–8 hours per cycle as requried to keep 

the water clean and sanitary. Press and hold the Light Key for 5 seconds. The current duration of the filter cycle will be 

displayed as D1–8. Use the Up & Down Temperature Arrow keys to increase or decrease the duration of the filter cycle. The 

duration is now set. To start a filter cycle immediately, press the Light key while the duration setting is still displayed.

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 programing and will not be affected by the Freeze Protection Mode. 

HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION:

 If the water temperature exceeds 112ºF 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 14. 

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 last programmed temperature setting. 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.

SETTING FAHRENHEIT AND CELSIUS DEGREES:

 Press and hold the light key for 5-seconds, the display will change to 

either setting. When the desired display is shown the display has been set and nothing else must be done. 

NOTE: If the 

spa is being used during the filter cycle, the cycle will be suspended for a period of 40-minutes.

IF A POWER OUTAGE SHOULD OCCUR:

 It will be necessary to reprogram the filter cycle start time. The temperature 

setting will be retained.
