LIGHT BUTTON & SPAGLO

®

COLOR WHEEL

The “LIGHT” button activates the light, controls the intensity of the light, and is used to start and stop the SpaGlo

TM 

color wheel. Pressing the

“LIGHT” button operates the light as follows:

• 1st press of the “LIGHT” button – light will turn on to the maximum intensity.

• 2nd press of the “LIGHT” button – light will turn to medium intensity.

• 3rd press of the “LIGHT” button – light will turn to low intensity.

• 4th press of the “LIGHT” button – light will turn off.

Press the “SET” + “LIGHT” button simultaneously while the light is on to start or stop the SpaGlo color wheel. The light symbol will flash on and off while the SpaGlo
color wheel is cycling through the six color options and the light symbol will display constant when the SpaGlo color wheel is stopped.

If the light is left on, it will automatically be turned off by the control system after six hours of continuous operation. The light symbol on the control panel will also turn off
when the light is deactivated.

If the light will not turn on, make sure SPA LOCK is deactivated. SPA LOCK disables the controls on both the main and auxiliary control panel.

AUTOMATIC LIGHT FEATURE

The Automatic Light Feature allows you to set the SpaGlo lighting system to activate at the same time every day. Wait for the time of day you would like the automatic
feature to start, then press and hold “TEMP 

”  and “LIGHT” button simultaneously for 3 seconds, the light then remains active for the next 6 hours. The lighting will

turn on every day at the same time until you press and hold the “TEMP 

”  and “LIGHT” button simultaneously for 3 seconds a second time to deactivate the automatic

light feature.  

SUMMER MODE 

Your Caldera

®

spa is equipped with a Summer Mode timer. The Summer Mode timer can be activated during extremely hot summer months if it

becomes difficult to maintain water temperatures low enough for comfort. Upon switching to the ON mode, the heater will immediately shut down
while the circulation pump (which can add heat to the water through normal operation) will remain on for approximately 5 minutes for heater cool-
down. Both heater and circulation pump will remain off for the next eight hours.  Additionally, the summer mode icon on the main control panel will

activate and remain active for as long as the summer mode is on. Following this eight-hour period, the circulation pump, heater, and ozone will continue to turn off for an
eight-hour period every day that the switch remains in the ON position. In this way, the amount of heat transferred to the spa water will be minimized. When the outside
temperatures begin to cool, the Summer Mode timer should be turned to the OFF position (the summer mode icon on the main control panel shut off). This is the
efficient 24 hour circulation mode that keeps the heater operation and operating costs to a minimum during colder/heavier usage months.

NOTE

: Whenever power is disconnected, and then reconnected to the spa, the Summer Mode timer will reset starting with the eight-hour shutdown mode. If a different

eight-hour shut down time is desired, deactivate the Summer Mode, then reactivate at the beginning of the desired eight-hour shut down time.

IMPORTANT

: The Summer Mode will not lower the spa’s water temperature below the ambient air temperature.

To activate the Summer Mode, simply follow these steps:

1. Set the temperature control to 80°F

2. On the control panel, simultaneously press and hold for three seconds “TEMP 

”  and “TEMP 

” to activate the Summer Timer. 

The Summer Mode must be deactivated when cooler temperatures return. To do this, simply repeat step 2.
WARNING: Failure to deactivate the Summer Mode when the temperature drops below 32°F will result in freezing of the spa. Damage resulting from this situation is not
covered under the terms of the warranty.

AUXILIARY CONTROL PANEL BUTTONS 

The auxiliary control panel, conveniently located opposite the main control panel allows the user to activate the jets, air blower, and light.

JETS BUTTONS

The “JETS 1” button activates jet pump 1. When the “JETS 1” button is pressed, the jets symbol will illuminate on the main control panel display.  The symbol will
remain lit until the button is pressed again to turn off the jet pump 1, or after one hour of continuous operation when the pump is automatically shut off by the control system.

The “JETS 2” button activates jet pump 2. When the “JETS 2” button is first pressed, the pump is in low speed and the jets symbol illuminates on the control panel
display.  Pressing the button a second time switches the jet pump to high speed mode. The symbol will remain lit until the button is pressed a third time turning jet
pump 2 off, or after one hour of continuous operation when the pump is automatically shut off by the control system.

AIR JETS BUTTONS 

(Available on Geneva

TM

, Niagara

®

and Tahitian

®

spas)

The “AIR” button activates the air blower. When the “AIR” button is pressed, the air symbol will illuminate on the main control panel display. The symbol will remain lit
until the button is pressed to turn off the air blower, or after fifteen minutes when the blower is automatically shut off by the control system. While the air blower is on, air
only jets are operating throughout the spa. To stop the air blower when active, simply press the “AIR” button.
