the set temperature and is always ready for use. The drawback of Standard
Mode is the pumps and heater cycle on every thirty minutes throughout
the day, and therefore this mode uses more electricity than other modes.
“Standard” will appear in the display when in Standard Mode.
•
Economy Mode: Economy mode is the factory default setting. This mode
only heats the water during filter cycles— usually twice a day. Economy
Mode is named such because it uses less electricity than Standard Mode.
However, since Economy Mode only maintains and heats water tempera-
ture during filtration cycles, the spa water temperature may drop a few de-
grees between the filter cycles depending on outside temperatures. For this
reason, most spa owners using Economy Mode set their filter cycle times to
correspond with the times of day when they are most likely to use their spa
so the spa water is up to temperature and ready for use. Economy Mode is
preferable for those who use their spa intermittently (2-3 times per week).
When in Economy Mode, “Economy” will appear in the display. When jets
is pressed in Economy Mode, the spa goes into “Standard-In-Economy”
mode (SE). The benefit of the SE feature is the spa water will heat between
filtration cycles (assuming jets 1 is pressed) allowing someone to use the
spa. The spa reverts back to Economy mode automatically after 1 hour.
•
Sleep Mode: heats the spa during filter cycles to about 20°F (11°C) lower
than the set temperature. The Sleep Mode uses the least electricity of any
of the modes, but since it takes several hours to bring the spa water back
up to set temperature, Sleep Mode is only recommended if the spa will not
be used for 2-3 weeks or more. In Sleep Mode, “Sleep” will appear on the
display.
•
Standby Mode (Sby) : Standby Mode idles all of the spa’s functions and
should be used when changing a filter or a JetPak, otherwise the pumps can
automatically turn on at the start of a filtration cycle. Press temp then Jets
2/Aux to enter Standby mode. Press any button to exit. This mode will time
out after two hours.
Jets
Press jets to turn pump 1 on and off and to shift between low and high speeds. If
left running, the low speed will automatically turn off after 1 hour and the high
speed will turn off after 30 minutes. Pump 1 turns on in low speed automatically
during filter cycles, and it cannot be turned off with the control panel jets switch.
NOTE: When in standard mode, the pump 1 will activate for at least 2
minutes every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature and will heat to set
temperature (if needed).
Jets 2/Aux (only available on 2 pump spas)
If your spa is equipped with a two jet pump system, press Jets 2/Aux to turn
pump 2 on or off and to shift between low and high speeds. If left running, the
pump will turn off automatically after 30 minutes.
Light
Press light to toggle the light on and off. The light will turn off automatically
after 1 hour.
Preset Filter Cycles
There are two filter cycles per day. The first filter cycle begins 6 minutes after
the spa is powered up. The second filter cycle begins 12 hours after the start of
the first cycle. Most spa owners with classic control systems power up their spa
at approximately 6:00-7:00 a.m. so the morning and evening filtration cycles
are close to when the spa is most likely to be used (see “Economy Mode”
paragraph above). The filtration pump and ozone purifier* run during filtration
cycles. In addition, all jet pumps will run for the first 10 minutes of each filter
cycle to purge the JetPaks™ and JetPods™. The factory filter cycle duration is
set for 2 hours twice per day. Filter cycle duration can be programmed by the
spa owner for one hour up to 12 hours (F1-F12).
To change the filter cycle duration, press warm + jets 1. Press warm to cycle
through the 1 to 12 hour filter duration options (F1-F12). Press jets 1 to select
the desired filter duration. Press warm again to cycle through the options for
