Operating Your Spa
When first powered up, the 9800 electronic
system will perform a self-diagnostic check
and then it will automatically heat to and
maintain a temperature of 100°F (37.5°C)
until you change the set temperature as
listed in the “Temperature Adjustment”
section below.
These instructions will describe features and
options that your particular spa may not be
equipped with.
Initial Start-up
When your spa is first powered up, it displays some
configuration codes and then goes into priming mode
(
Pr
will appear on the display panel). This mode lasts up
to four minutes and then the spa begins to heat to its pre
-programmed temperature of 100°F.
Temperature Adjustment
(Range 80°F to 104°F, 26°C to 40°C)
The start-up temperature is set at 100°F (37.5°C). The
last measured temperature is constantly displayed
on the control panel. Note that the last measured spa
temperature is displayed. The displayed temperature
will be updated when the pump has been running for at
least two minutes.
Press the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons once to display the
set temperature. Each time either button is pressed
again, the set temperature will increase or decrease
depending on which button is pressed. After three
seconds, the control panel will automatically display the
last measured spa temperature.
Time
When time hasn’t been programmed, the “TIME” icon
flashes. To set the time, press the “TIME” button and
then the “MODE/PROG” button. Use the “UP” and
“DOWN” buttons to adjust time. See the next page for
more detailed instructions.
Standard, Economy, Sleep, and Standby
Modes

2.
desired mode.
Press “MODE/PROG” to confirm selection.
3.
Standard Mode:
This 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 two minutes. The “STAND”
icon will display until the mode is changed.
Economy Mode:
Economy mode heats the spa to the
set temperature only during filter cycles. The “ECON”
icon will display until the mode is changed. Pressing the
“JETS 1” button while in economy mode puts the spa in
standard-in-economy mode, which operates the same
as standard mode but reverts back to economy mode
automatically after one hour. During this time, pressing
the “MODE/PROG” button will revert to economy mode
immediately.
Sleep Mode:
Sleep mode heats the spa to within 20°F
(11°C) of the set temperature only during filter cycles. The
“SLEEP” icon will display until the mode is changed.
Standby Mode:
Pressing “Warm” or “Cool” then “JETS
2” will turn off all spa functions temporarily. This is helpful
when changing a filter. Pressing any button resets the
spa.
Jets 1
Press the “JETS 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off
and to shift between low and high speeds if equipped.
If left running, the low speed turns off after two hours
and the high speed turns off after 15 minutes. On non-
circulation systems, the low speed of pump 1 runs when
the blower or any other pump is on. It may also activate
for at least two minutes every 30 minutes to detect the
spa temperature and then to heat to the set temperature if
needed, depending upon the mode. When the low speed
turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the
panel; however, the high speed may be started.
