NOTE:

When Hot tub is locked, any display other than SPA  having a - or + after it will be replaced with an * after the

word indicating the function is locked out. The * will only go away after the Spa is unlocked.
When the SPA LOCK is activated, the buttons for the jets, temperature control, light, and any other features your hot tub

may have are deactivated. If a button is pressed, the control panel will display the lock symbol and the word SPA for 30

seconds, then turn off.
To deactivate the SPA LOCK, press the MODE 

button in the TOOLS submenu until the SPA - symbol is

illuminated on the display. Press the OFF 

▼ 

button to deactivate the SPA LOCK feature.

LOCK OVERRIDE

The Lock Override feature is for hot tub users who normally keep the set temperature locked. Should the user wish to lock all hot tub controls

temporarily, the hot tub lock can be applied over an already-applied temperature lock. Then, when the spa lock is removed, the temperature lock

will remain on to prevent unwanted tampering with the set temperature. 

SUMMER MODE

Your Limelight

hot tub 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 circulation pump (which can add heat to the water through normal operation)

and heater will immediately shut down for the next eight hours. Additionally, the summer mode display on the

control panel will activate and remain active for as long as the summer mode is on. Following this eight hour

period, the circulation pump and heater will automatically re-start and will operate normally for the next sixteen

hours. The circulation pump and heater will continue to turn off for an eight hour period every day that the timer

remains in the ON position. In this way, the amount of heat transferred to the hot tub 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 display will 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 hot tub, the Summer Mode timer will reset

starting with the 8-hour shutdown mode. If a different 8-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 hot tub’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 (26°C) if desired to prevent the heater from turning on during cooler times.
2. On the control panel press the MODE 

button until the TOOLS menu is illustrated. Then press the  ON 

▲ 

button to enter the TOOLS

submenus. Press the MODE 

button until the STMR+ symbol is illuminated on the display. 

Press the ON 

▲ 

button to activate the Summer Timer mode.

The Summer Mode must be deactivated when cooler temperatures return. To do this, simply follow step 3. 
3.   To shut the Summer Mode off, press the MODE 

button until the TOOLS menu is illustrated. Then press the ON 

▲ 

button to enter the 

TOOLS submenus. Press the MODE 

button until the STMR- symbol is illuminated on the display. Press the OFF 

▼ 

button to deactivate.

DISPLAY INVERSION

You may invert the control panel display for easier viewing from inside the hot tub. 
To invert the display the following is required:
Press the “MODE 

”  & “OFF 

” buttons simultaneously. By pressing the “MODE 

”  & “OFF 

” buttons simultaneously a second time the

screen will go back to it’s original display.

HOT TUB CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Limelight hot tub is manufactured from the highest quality, most durable materials available. Even so, the hot tub care and maintenance

program you develop will ultimately determine how long your hot tub, and its individual components, will last. Regular maintenance and following

the advice in this section will help you to protect your investment.

DRAINING THE WATER

Detergent residues from bathing suits and soap film from your body may gradually accumulate in your hot tub’s water. Normally, in about four

months the water will become sudsy and should be replaced. Showering without using soap prior to entering the hot tub, and using only the rinse

cycle when laundering your bathing suit, will help to reduce detergent residue in the hot tub water.
