Operation and Cycle Information
This section of the guide provides details on segments of cycles, timing of cycles, temperature expectations,
and cycling of the heater during the dry portion of a cycle.
Auto Hot Start
If the incoming water temperature is below 80°F, Auto Hot Start is initiated at the beginning of the cycle in
an attempt to purge the home water lines of cooler water. Auto Hot Start can add up to 10 minutes to cycle

segment of the cycle.
Cycle Times
Cycle times will vary depending on options selected, incoming water temperature, and soil level (some
models).
Incoming water temperature of 120°F to 140°F is recommended. The 4 pass heating element quickly heats
the water for optimum performance.
The cycle chart below explains the segments of a cycle (cycles for all models included, not all models contain

circulation time in each segment, but does not include dry cycles (see the Dry System section in this guide).
Times will vary depending on turbidity response and incoming water temperature.
