H.PMP – Heat Pump Mode 

This setting is only visible if a SV Series heat pump is connected and defines heat pump operating mode.  

The available operating modes are as follows:  

 

AUTO

  Heat pump will heat and cool  

HEAT

   Heat pump will only heat (Default) 

COOL

  Heat pump will only cool  

OFF

 

Heat pump disabled

 

 

H.ELE – Heat Pump + SV Element Boost 

 

This setting is only visible if a SV Series heat pump is connected and defines how the SV Mini electric heating 

element operates with a heat pump. By default, this setting is set to OFF which disables the electric heater 

using only the heat pump for heating. Set to ON to allow the electric element to run in conjunction with the 

heat pump to boost heating speed if the water temperature is 2

o

C or more below set temperature point or 

the heat pump has been operating for more than 1 hour and set point has not been achieved. The H.ELE setting 

choices are: 

 

OFF 

SV element disabled (heat pump only) 

ON  

SV e Heat Pump for heating

  

HEATING CONTROL & PROTECTION 

Fast Heat Cycle / Freeze and Overheat Protection Fast Heat Cycle 

After initial mains power on the SV Mini will perform a fast heat up cycle that enables continuous demand 

heating regardless of programmed/default sleep timer. Once the set temperature has been reached the fast 

heat up cycle is cancelled and normal operation resumes and sleep timer is obeyed. The purpose of a fast heat 

up cycle is to help the spa reach set temperature as soon as possible after it has been powered up. For new 

spas or spas refilled with cold water it is desirable not to have sleep time delaying the time to takes for the 

spa to reach set temperature point

 

NOTES: 

 

1.

 

A fast heat up cycle is cancelled by manually forcing the filtration pump to OFF via the keypad 

 

2. For new spas or when a spa has just been refilled it is common for spa users to test the operation of each pump when 
the power is first turned on. This process will cancel the fast heat up cycle. After completing testing of the spa functions 
remember to reset mains power if you wish to reactivate fast heat up cycle.  

 

Freeze Protection

 

 

Freeze protection will be activated whenever the water temperature drops below 4

o

C. It runs back to back 10 

minute sanitise cycles and displays “WARM” on the LCD. It also runs each spa accessory (i.e. jet pumps and air 

blower) in sequence to run water through the pipe work whilst running the filtration pump and heater. During 

the “WARM” cycle the heater and heat pump (if fitted) will operate however heater load shedding may occur 

when accessory pumps are running depending on control and load shed settings. 

 

At  the  end  of  each  10  minute  “WARM” cycle  the  water  temperature  is  checked.  If  it  is  above  4

o

C  freeze 

protection stops and the controller returns to its prior state.  If the temperature is not above 4

o

C another cycle 

will run.
