DOWN EAST – mystic - CONTROLS
Mode
Mode is changed by pressing the “Temp” button, then pressing the “Light” button.
Standard mode
is programmed to maintain the desired temperature. Note that the last measured spa
temperature displayed is current only when the pump has been running for at least 2 minutes. “St” will
be displayed momentarily when you switch into Standard mode.
Economy mode
heats the spa to the set temperature only during filter cycles. “Ec” will display solid
when the temperature is not current, and will alternate with the temperature when the temperature is
current.
Sleep mode
heats the spa to within 20˚F /10˚C) of the set temperature only during filter cycles. “SL”
will display solid when the temperature is not current, and will alternate with temperature when
temperature is current.
Preset Filter Cycles (if configured)
The first filter cycle begins 6 minutes after the spa is energized. The second filter cycle begins 12 hours
later. Filter duration is programmable for 2, 4, 6, 8 hours or for continuous filtration (indicated by “FC”).
The default filter time is 2 hours.
To program, press “Temp” then “Jets.” Press “Temp” to adjust. Press “Jets” to exit programming.
At the beginning of each filter cycle the pumps purge for 30 seconds. The only effect filter duration
has is: In Economy and Sleep Modes, heating only occurs during the filter cycle.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors detect a drop to below 44˚F /6.7˚C within the heater, the pump automatically
activates to provide freeze protection. The equipment stays on until 4 minutes after the sensors detect
that the spa temperature has risen to 45˚F /7.2˚C or higher. In colder climates, an optional additional
freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard
sensors. Aux freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the temperature thresholds determined
by the switch and without a 4-minute delay in turnoff. See your dealer for details.

WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE START-UP
Legend Series Spas and Down East Spas
For ECO PUR™ Water Filter System
Step 1:
Your spa should be filled using a Pre-filter, which can be obtained from your local dealer.
This Pre-filter will help remove many of the minerals existing in the water, which will make
adjusting the water balance easier after a new fill.
Step 2:
During initial filling of the spa with fresh water, add a sequestering agent such as Mineral
Clear or Stain and Scale, etc. depending on the brand name. Allow to circulate and filter
for at least 12 hours.
Step 3:
Test water for pH, total Alkalinity, and Calcium hardness. The pH should be 7.2 - 7.8 and the
total Alkalinity 80-150 PPM. Calcium hardness levels should be maintained between 150 and
250 PPM (part per million).
Step 4:
Adjust pH, total Alkalinity (TA) and Calcium hardness utilizing the directions on the chemical
bottles provided by your dealers start up kit.
Step 5:
It may be necessary to retest and add additional chemicals to get to the proper levels
in Step 3.
Step 6:
Add 2 oz. of concentrated chlorinating granules (sodium Dichlor-s-triazinetreone) per 500
gallons on initial start up to begin sanitizing the spa water. It is important not to add the
chlorinating granules until the pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness have been adjusted to
their proper levels.
SPECIAL NOTE:
We recommend a level of 1.0 ppm chlorine residual be maintained.
* It may be necessary to rinse your filters within the first few days after filling your spa to ensure that
they are not restricting water flow due to the initial removal of heavy contaminents in source water.
