OPERATION
Temperature Setting
Push
ꓥ
or
ꓦ
button to set temperature, pushing
ꓥ
or
ꓦ
will adjust the temperature to the setting you desire.
After selecting the desired temperature, the LED display will revert back to actual water temperature after 5
seconds.
Whenever the HydroMate
®
is running and has been running for at least 2 minutes, the actual water
temperature will be displayed in the LED display. If the HydroMate
®
is not running the display will show “P” to
indicate that the actual water temperature cannot be calculated at this time. In order to display the actual
temperature when “P” is displayed, press the “JETS” button and wait approximately 30 seconds for the actual
water temperature to display.
Jets Operation
When the tub water is at the set temperature, the jets will not be on. If you wish to use the tub with the jets
feature, pressing
the “JETS” button on the control panel activates a 20 minute timer. This turns the jets on for a
20-minute period; to stop within that 20-minute
period, press the “JETS” button again.
NOTE: If after 20 minutes the water temperature has dropped below the set temperature, the pump will switch
to HEAT mode and continue running to bring the water temperature up to desired temperature.
Filtration
The tub automatically runs if it determines that it requires filtration. When the tub is running in the filtration
cycle, the filter icon will glow. The digital controls are set to run two 15 minute filtration cycles in a 24 hour
period. These will run every 12 hours and are set when the hot tub is first plugged in. The filtration cycle will
only run if there has been no heat call in the prior 12 hours. If there has been a heat call, the filtration cycle will
be skipped.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
The Softub cord is fitted with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), a very important safety feature. The
GFCI shuts off the electricity immediately if there is a short in the cord or HydroMate®. This plug fits
conventional 110 Volt outlets found in homes. It is recommended that the GFCI be tested upon each water
change.
The test procedures are as follows:
1.
Push the “TEST” button on the GFCI and the light on the GFCI should go off. If the light fails to go out,
DO NOT USE YOUR SOFTUB. CALL YOUR DEALER OR SERVICE CENTRE FOR INSTRUCTIONS
.
2.
If the GFCI tests okay, firmly push the “RESET” button and the HydroMate
®
should resume power. If
“RESET” button fails to reset properly or if power does not return to the HydroMate
®
, DO NOT USE
YOUR SOFTUB. CALL YOUR DEALER OR SERVICE CENTRE FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
3.
If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, firmly press the “RESET” button and perform the above tests. If
this happens more than once, DO NOT USE YOUR SOFTUB. CALL YOUR DEALER OR SERVICE
CENTRE FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
