Pumps

Press  the  “Jets  1”  button  once  to  turn  pump  1  on 

or off, and to shift between low- and high-speeds if 

equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after 

a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will time 

out  after  30  minutes.  The  high-speed  will  time  out 

after 15 minutes. 
On non-circ systems, the low-speed of pump 1 runs 

when the blower or any other pump is on. If the spa 

is in Ready Mode, Pump 1 low may also activate for 

at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa 

temperature  (polling)  and  then  to  heat  to  the  set 

temperature  if  needed.  When  the  low-speed  turns 

on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the 

panel, however the high speed may be started. 

Circulation Pump 

The circulation pump will come on when the system 

is checking temperature (polling), during filter cycles, 

during  freeze  conditions,  or  when  another  pump  is 

on.
The ozonator will run with the circulation pump during 

filtration cycles.

Freeze Protection 

If the temperature sensors within the heater detect 

a  low  enough  temperature,  then  the  pump(s) 

and  the  blower  automatically  activate  to  provide 

freeze protection. The pump(s) and blower will run 

either  continuously  or  periodically  depending  on 

conditions. 
In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor 

may  be  added  to  protect  against  freeze  conditions 

that  may  not  be  sensed  by  the  standard  sensors. 

Auxiliary  freeze  sensor  protection  acts  similarly 

except with the temperature thresholds determined 

by the switch. See your dealer for details. 

Clean-up Cycle (optional) 

When  a  pump  or  blower  is  turned  on  by  a  button 

press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the 

pump or blower is turned off or times out. The pump 

and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or 

more, depending on the system.

Purge Cycles 

In order to maintain sanitary conditions, secondary 

Pumps  and/or  a  Blower  will  purge  water  from 

their  respective  plumbing  by  running  briefly  at  the 

beginning of each filter cycle.

Other Spa Systems

Several spa functions operate in the background and require no action or maintenance from you. This is for 

your information only.
