To ensure the water in the Spa is clear and clean correct fi ltration (in combination with proper water treatment) is essential. We need to differentiate
two types of spa: a spa equipped with a 24 hour circulation pump and spa without this extra circulation pump.
Spa
without
circulation pump:
The spa is using the jet pump on low speed for filtering and heating. The Spa filter cycles should always operate for at least 2 × 2hours a day. This can
be controlled through the display (Fig. 1). Filtration starts and stops automatically.
Spa
with
extra circulation pump:
The spa is using the extra circulation pump for fi ltering and heating, this small pump is running for 24 hours a day which ensures a continuous fl ow in
your spa. Beside the continuous fl ow this spa will have some PURGE cycles as well. With a purge cycle (40 seconds) the jet pump is running on high
speed to clean the hoses and to have more water movement.
The water temperature is set at the desired level and is kept at this level through the heating system and the Spa insulation.
For proper water treatment according to local requirements please ask your dealer and check page 10.
2.1
Filter Cartridges
The Spa is equipped with 1 or 2 cartridge water fi lters to fi lter small impurities from the water. As a result the fi lters may become clogged, resulting
In reduced water fl ow. It is important to maintain a clean, unobstructed fi ltration system. Clean the fi lter cartridge every week by rinsing it with
a powerful water jet (a garden hose not a pressure washer). Our recommendation is that you renew the fi lter cartridges every year. Your Spa dealer will
be able to provide you with special cleaning products for your fi lter cartridge. Never use regular soap as it will have a detrimental effect on the water
quality in your Spa. When fi lter cartridges are not cleaned in time a FLO message can show up in the display.
2.2
Filtering
For fi ltering, we differentiate spa’s with and without circulation pump.
2.2.1
Filter cycles for spa’s
without
extra circulation pump
Each fi lter cycle will start with the pump running for 40 seconds on high speed. After that the pump will continue on low speed. By pressing the
button and the and buttons the fi ltration cycle can be controlled and adjusted. The duration of the cycle and the time to start the fi rst cycle
can be selected, the subsequent cycles follow at 12 hourly intervals.
