10.0 Automatic Filtration Cycles
Your new spa includes a 24-hour circulation pump which filters the water
continuously while using less energy than a common 100 watt light bulb!
The circulation pump draws water through the skimmer bag and one of two
filter cartridges to effectively remove small debris in your spa.
Note: the 24-
hour circulation pump system also supplies heated water to the spa when
the heater turns on. This features cannot be altered or disabled.
The control system activates a programmable “standard” or “economy”
skimming/heating cycle to remove larger debris missed by the 24-hour cir-
culation pump filtration system. These cycles utilize pump#1 and the larger
filter cartridge end to quickly clear “skim” the water of large debris and
minimize their “bath-tub ring” effect. Apart from their skimming benefit,
each mode also effects the operation of your spa’s heater. Refer to sec-
tions 10.1 and 10.2 below for additional information.
10.1 Standard Skimming/Heating Modes (F0 - F3)
Standard skimming/heating modes are typically selected by customers in
cold climates where heatup times are extended due to lower ambient
temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the
set temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater which turns on as
needed. After the programmed set temperature is reached, the heater turns
off and the circulation pump continues to operate 24-hours to filter and
clean your spa.
10.2 Economy Skimming/Heating Modes (F4 - F6)
Economy skimming/heating modes are typically selected by customers in
warm climates where heatup times are minimized due to higher ambient
temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the
set temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater only while a pro-
grammed filter cycle is running (unless in summer logic; see section 13.1,
page 36).
Note: these modes consume far less energy than standard
modes F0-F3 outlined above.
10.3 Lock Modes (L1 - L2)
These modes are designed for use during spa service or to prevent unau-
thorized use.
