Preparation
To operate:
Ensure the spa is filled to its
correct operating level. After
turning the power on at the
main power panel, the control
panel will display a splash,
or startup screen. As you
begin to operate the control, push each icon (button) slowly and
deliberately with your finger.
Priming the Pumps
As soon as the spa has power, it will enter “Priming Mode.” If
your spa is equipped with two pumps, two icons will appear in the
touch screen. Press
“Prime Jets” button once to start Pump
1 in low-speed, and then a second time to set it to high speed. If
your spa is equipped with a second pump, follow the procedure
again for that pump. All pumps should be running in at their
highestspeed to facilitate priming.
IMPORTANT:
A pump should not be allowed to run
without priming (water flowing out of the jets) for more than 2
minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to
run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5 minute priming
mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the
system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition.
NOTE:
Turning the power off and back on again will initiate a
new pump priming session. Sometimes momentarily turning the
pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than 5
times. If the pump(s) will not prime, shut off the power to the spa
and call for service. Once the system has exited Priming Mode,
the control panel will display the Main Screen. The temperature
will not be displayed but will show four dashes as pictured below.
The system requires approximately 1-2 minutes of water flowing
through the heater to determine and display the correct water
temperature.
The Main Screen

from the main screen. Push

Temp Settings
To adjust the temperature of your spa, use the up and down
arrows on the main screen. Set temperature will temporarily
display when setting. Actual water temperature will return to
the display several seconds after you are finished adjusting the set
temperature, and water has been running through the pumps.
Dual Temperature Range
Your spa comes equipped with two pre-programmed temperature
ranges, High and Low. When a temperature range is selected, the
spa will heat to the temperature associated with that range and
remain at that temperature. High Range can be set between 80°F
(26.7°C) and 104°F (40°C). Low Range can be set between 50°F
(10°C) and 99°F (37.2°C). The most common use for the low
range is during vacations or extended periods of inactivity. Freeze
Protection is active in either range.
