SPA BEHAVIOR
Pumps
On the Spa Screen, select a “Jets” button once to turn the pump on or off, and to shift
between low- and high-speeds if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-
out period of 15 minutes on high speed then transition to 5 minutes on low before turning off.
You may manually turn the pump back on.
The low-speed of pump 1 runs when any other pump is on. If the spa is in Ready Mode, Pump
1 low may also activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature
(polling) and then to heat to the set temperature if needed. When the low-speed turns on
automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel, however the high-speed may be
started.
Filtration and Ozone
When Pump 1 is on low speed the ozone generator will run during filtration.
Filter Cycles:
•
Filter cycle 1 is set at the factory to run for 1 hour one time per day.
•
Filter cycle 2 is set at the factory to run for 1 hour one time per day.
•
At the start of each filter cycle, pumps will run briefly to purge the plumbing to maintain
good water quality.
•
Adjusting the time of the filtration cycle(s) is a matter of personal preference and usage
patterns. Setting the filtration cycles for late at night can avoid higher electrical rate costs
as an example. If you live in a climate that is seasonally hot, running the filtration cycle at
night can avoid unwanted heat build-up from the pumps and prolong the life of the equip-
ment. If your usage patterns are heavy and you would like additional filtration to occur, you
have the choice of extending the filtration time or changing the second cycle to a different
part of the day.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, the water
devices automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The water devices will run either
continuously or periodically depending on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze condi-
tions that may not be sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts
similarly except the temperature thresholds are determined by the switch. See your dealer for
details.
Clean-up Cycle
When a pump is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the
pump is turned off or times out. The pump and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes
or more, depending on the system. On some systems, you can change this setting. (See the
Cleanup Cycle.)
