tration and the ozone sterilizer (if installed) will be en-

abled. If any button is pressed during filtering, the 

ozone sterilizer (if installed) will be disabled for 30

The equipment stays on until the sensors detect that 

the spa temperature has risen to within 15°F of the set 

temperature. The pump will purge for 30 seconds to 2 

minutes at the end of the freeze condition.
