When in an error state the alarm can be silenced by pressing the SCROLL button. The alarm will
automatically silence after four minutes.
Error 1 (“PRIME FAILED”) Water Prime Failed
Prime failed is a special case. This is not necessarily a problem with the SP1200 itself, but indicates that no
water is being detected in the heater housing. On a push of the DOWN button the main pump will run for 10
seconds to try to get water to the heater. If successful normal operation will resume. If unsuccessful, the
error will be indicated on the display again. Note: When this error occurs you will also be given the option to
run the SP1200 in demo mode, this feature is not intended for end users. If you inadvertently enter demo
mode, reset the spa to start over.
With any Error 3-8, spa operation will stop and not continue until the controller is reset. The controller can
only be reset by pushing the Light Level, Light Effect Mode, Pump 1A and Pump 2A buttons simultaneously.
The controller will remain in an error condition even when reset at mains power, controller will only continue
normal operation after the Light Level, Light Effect Mode, Pump 1A and Pump 2A buttons are pushed
simultaneously (see below).
Error 4 (“NO WATER SENSOR”) - No Water Sensor
This error indicates a problem with the optical water sensor in the heater. The problem may be caused by the
sensor being disconnected or by damage to the sensor. Try to reset the spa. If there is still a problem then
contact your spa pool supplier.
Error 3 (“STUCK BUTTON”) - Stuck Button
This error indicates that one or more of the touch pad buttons is stuck or has been held down for more than
one minute. This may be caused by the pool cover pressing on the touch pad or by water getting into the
touch pad or by damage to the touch pad itself. Try to reset the spa. If there is still a problem then contact
your spa pool supplier.
