Operating Modes
Your Elite Spa comes with three primary
operating modes.
Standard Mode maintains the water at the
desired set temperature. Note that the last measured
spa temperature displayed is current only when the
pump has been running for at least 2 minutes. The
“
STANDARD ” icon will be displayed in the LCD
window when this mode is selected.
Economy Mode heats the water to the desired
set temperature ONLY during filter cycles. The
“
ECONOMY ” icon will be displayed in the LCD
window when this mode is selected. While in the
Economy mode, pressing the “
Jets 1 ” button will put
the spa into the Standard-In-Economy mode, which
operates the same as the Standard Mode, then reverts
back to the Economy mode after 1 hour. The spa can
be immediately reverted back into the Economy mode
at any time by simply pressing the “
Mode/Prog ”
button.
Sleep Mode heats the spa to within 20°F
(11°C) of the set temperature only during filter cycles.
The “
SLEEP ” icon will be displayed in the LCD
window when this mode is selected.
Changing Modes
To change the operating mode, press the
“ Mode/Prog ” button. The operating mode will be
flashing on the LCD window. Press the “ Cool ” button
to cycle through to the desired mode, and then press
the “
Mode/Prog ” button to confirm selection.
Pressing “ Warm ” or “ Cool ” then “ Jets2 ” will
put the spa into the Standby Mode. While in this
mode, all spa functions are temporarily suspended to
allow for filter changes or other routine maintenance
tasks. Press any button to exit the Standby mode.
Time and Filtration Cycles
The control system on your spa has been
designed to function properly and safely at 100°F after
connecting the electrical wires and installing the
proper grounds. To take full advantage of the unique
capabilities of your new spa, you should first set the
time and establish your filtration cycles.
Setting the Time
When the time of day has not been
programmed, the TIME icon will be flashing on the
LCD window. To set the time of day, first press the
“
Time ” button then press the “ Mode/Prog ” button.
The hour digit(s) will be flashing on the LCD window.
Press the “
Warm ” or “ Cool ” button to advance the
hours up or down to the desired set point. Press the
“
Mode/Prog ” button to enter the time hour.
The minute digits will now be flashing on the
LCD window. Press the “ Warm ” or “ Cool ” button to
advance the minutes up or down to the desired set
point. Press the “
Mode/Prog ” button to enter the time
minutes.
At this point you can either proceed with
setting the filtration cycles as described in the
following “
Changing Filter Cycle ” section, or press
the “ Time ” button to save the settings and exit the
programming sequence.
Preset Filter Cycles
Once the time of day has been set, your spa
will automatically filter the water for a 2-hour period
every 12 hours. The first filter cycle comes preset to
operate from 8:00AM to 10:00AM, and the second
filter cycle comes preset to operate from 8:00PM to
10:00PM. The F1 indicator light will be lit whenever
the spa is in the first filter cycle. The F2 indicator
light will be lit whenever the spa is in the second filter
cycle. During a filter cycle, the primary filtration
pump will operate in low speed and can not be turned
off unless the spa is put into the Standby mode. At the
beginning of each filtration cycle, the other equipment
in the spa will turn on for 30 seconds to purge all
plumbing lines and ensure complete filtration.
Changing Filter Cycles
The PowerworksTM 460 control system
allows you to adjust the start time and duration of each
filter cycle independently to best suit your schedule.
The amount of time needed to filter your spa will vary
depending upon usage and ambient conditions, but a
total filter time of at least four hours per day is
recommended to properly clean and maintain the
water.
If you are setting the filter cycles as a
continuance from setting the time then proceed to the
next paragraph. To initiate the programming sequence
to change the filter cycles, press “
Time ”,
“ Mode/Prog ”, “ Mode/Prog ”, and “ Mode/Prog ”
within 3 seconds.
