Control System
IMPORTANT: Your Bullfrog Spa is equipped with one of 3 types of control
pads, SELECT (4 Button), CLASSIC (6 Button), or PREMIER (8 Button).
Locate the control system on your spa by matching it with the photos provided
and follow the specific instructions for operation of your specific control system.
Select Control Systems (4 Buttons)
General
In spas equipped with an optional WellSpring circulation pump (referred to
as “circ pump”), this circ pump acts as the filtration and heating pump for the
spa water. For standard spas not equipped with a circ pump, Pump 1 (in low
speed) is the pump which provides filtration and heating. In this section, the
pump providing the filtration and heating (whether the circ pump or pump 1)
is referred to as the “filter” or “filtration” pump.
Some functions require pressing multiple buttons on the control pad in a
certain sequence. This is indicated by a “+” sign in the instruction (for example:
press temp + light to enter mode programming). Do not press the buttons at
the same time or even too quickly, or the desired result may not occur.
Timeouts refer to a preset length of time that a function is programmed to op-
erate before shutting off automatically. Certain conditions (filter or freeze) can
cause a function to operate longer, while faults can cause a function to operate
for a shorter length of time. The system keeps track of timeouts regardless of
other conditions.
Initial Startup
Before turning on the power to the spa, make sure the spa is properly filled
with water. When your spa is first powered up, it will automatically go into
“Priming mode”, which will last about 4 minutes. Press temp to exit the Prim-
ing mode early. Once the Priming Mode is finished, the control system will
turn on the filter pump and begin to heat the water in Economy mode or only
during filter cycles.
To speed up the water heating process during the initial startup or after a
water change, change the spa operation mode to Standard mode and allow the
spa to heat until the water reaches the desired temperature. Change back to
Economy mode for most efficient spa operation.
Setting the Temperature: 80°F-104°F (26°C-40°C)
Once the filter pump has been running for at least 2 minutes, the actual water
temperature will be displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on the
control pad. Note: Any time the spa filter pump has not been running for a
period of time, the LCD display will usually read “----“, which means the
temperature is unknown because the temperature sensors in the heating unit
require the water to be circulating past them for a couple minutes before
calculating a true water temperature reading.
Unless changed by the user, the default temperature is factory set to 100°F
(38°C). To change the spa water temperature, press temp once to display
the current set temperature, then press temp additional times to increase (or
decrease) the set temperature. To change the temperature adjustment direc-
tion (i.e.: from increase to decrease), pause 3-5 seconds between pressing temp,
then push temp multiple times to desired temperature. After 3 seconds without
pressing temp, the LCD will again display the current spa water temperature.
