timeout period.

1-speed operation: on/off; If left on, the blower will
automatically turn off after a timeout period.
Light
Press the “Light” button to turn the spa light onand
off, and to switch between different colors. If any
light is left on, it will automatically turn off after a
factory-programmed time period.
Preset Filter Cycles
On all systems, the pump and the ozone generator
will run during filtration. At the start of each filter
cycle, the blower will run briefly to purge the air
channels. The other pumps will also run briefly.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect
a low enough temperature, then the pump(s) and
the blower automatically activate to provide freeze
protection. The pump(s) and blower will run either
continuously or periodically depending on condi-
tions. 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. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection
acts similarly except with the temperature thresh-
olds determined by the switch. See your dealer for
details.

Operational and
Energy Tips
1.Control Valves – air and water con-
trols on the top of spa
a. Average to Cold Climate - When not in the
spa, make sure the valves are turned off. All these
valves will inject a certain amount of air into the
water which causes a cooling effect. Therefore
your spa will have to heat more often and cost
more money to operate.
b. Hot Climate – Hot tubs are only designed to
heat up and maintain temperature, therefore hot
climate can actually make a spa over heat. In
these areas, the control valves can be left open all
the time to help cool the spa down.
2.Filter Settings – Time and Duration
a. Filter settings – review your owner’s manual
for specific details
i. Filter times - if your spa has a clock to set,
then you set the filter time by the hour and
need to change in your programming menu. If
no clock then you simply set your filter time
by when the spa is turned on. If you power
the spa up at 8:00am, then it will filter at
8:00am and 8:00pm daily until the power is
turned off and on again.
1. Savings – if your electric provider offers dif-
ferent rate per KWH (peak / off-peak) then
you will want your filter time to take place
during off-peak time.
2. Cooling a Sp a – if you are experiencing over
heating with your spa, have the spa filter
during cooler times of the day, and leave the
control valves opened like mentioned prior.
ii.Filter setting F2,F4,F6,F8,and FC = filter
constantly
1. The factory setting is F2, which means the
spa will filter 2 hours for every 12 hour pe-
riod. 4 hours total per day. Since we use a
large primary pump for your filtration, it
moves a lot of water quickly. Therefore we
recommend you keep your filtration at no
more than F4, anything longer will just
waste electricity and in warm climates the
spa may overheat.
3.Heating Modes – (Balboa Controllers)
Standard, Economy, and Sleep
a. 4 Button Controllers Only - These options
are not always unlocked from the factory, and
may require a settings change. Attempt to change
the mode several times prior and if no results a
dip switch will need changed.
b. Standard – St, Std
i. Standard is the default setting , and you are
in standard mode if none of the other setting
