Navigation
Navigating the entire menu structure is done with 2 or 3 buttons
on the control panel. Some panels have separate UP and DOWN
buttons, while others have a single Temperature button. In the
navigation diagrams Temperature buttons are indicated by a sin-
gle button icon. Panels that have two Temperature buttons (Up
and Down) can use both of them to simplify navigation and pro-
gramming where a single Temperature icon is shown. The
MENU/SELECT Button is used to choose the various menus and
navigate each section. Typical use of the Temperature button(s)
allows changing the Set Temperature while the numbers are
flashing in the LCD. The menus can be exited with certain button
presses. Simply waiting for a few seconds will return the panel
operation to normal.
Priming Mode
This mode will last for 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit the
priming mode after the pump(s) have primed.
Regardless of whether the priming mode ends automatically or
you manually exit the priming mode, the system will automatically
starts normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode.
During the priming mode, the heater is disabled to allow the prim-
ing process to be completed without the possibility of energizing
the heater under low-flow or no-flow conditions. Nothing comes
on automatically, but the pump(s) can be energized by pushing
the “Jets” or “Aux” buttons.
Priming the Pumps
As soon as the above display appears on the panel, push the
“Jets” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then again to
switch to high-speed. Also, push the “Jets 2” or “Aux” button, if
you have a 2nd pump, to turn it on. The pumps will now be run-
ning in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps have not
primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in
the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the
pumps and repeat the process. Note: Turning the power off and
back on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Some-
times momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to
prime. Do not do this more than 5 times. If the pump(s) will not
prime, shut off the power to the spa and call for service. Im-
portant: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for
more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be
allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5 minute
priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and

cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat

Dual Temperature Ranges
This system incorporates two temperature range settings with
independent set temperatures. The High Range designated in the
display by a thermometer and an “Up” arrow, and the Low Range
designated in the display by a thermometer and “Down” arrow.
These ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common
use being a “ready to use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting. The
Ranges are chosen using the menu structure below. Each range
maintains its own set temperature as programmed by the user.
This way, when a range is chosen, the spa will heat to the set
temperature associated with that range.
For example:

High Range might be set between 80°F and 104°F.

Low Range might be set between 50°F and 99°F.
Changing the Temp Range:
Press and release the “Menu” button until “TEMP” is on the
screen, Press and release the “Up” or “Down” button to adjust
High Range “▲” or Low Range “▼”. Press and release the
“Menu” button to save the Temp Range.
Mode – Ready and Rest
In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water
through the heater. The pump that performs this function is known
as the “primary pump.”
If the primary pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode (indicated
by
R ) will circulate water periodically, using Pump 1 Low, in order
to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and
refresh the temperature display. This is known as “polling.”
Rest Mode (indicated by ) will only allow heating during pro-
grammed filter cycles. Since polling does not occur, the tempera-
ture display may not show a current temperature until the primary
pump has been running for a minute or two.
In
Rest Mode , the spa will only heat to set temperature during
programmed filter times, even though the water is being filtered
constantly when in Circulation Mode.
Changing the Mode:
Press and release the “Menu” button until “MODE” appears.
Press and release the “Up” or “Down” button to switch the Mode
