Your spa is pre-programmed with default filter cycles and
temperature settings. The following control panel instructions will
detail the procedures to alter such default settings.
Select and Basic Control
Systems
General
Some functions require pressing multiple buttons on the control
pad in a certain sequence. This is indicated by a “+” sign in the
instruction (for example: press temp + light to enter mode
programming). Do not press the buttons at the same time or too
quickly, or the desired result may not occur.
Initial Startup
Before turning on the power to the spa, make sure the spa is
properly filled with water. When your spa is first powered up,
it will automatically go into “Priming mode”, Press the “Jets 1”
button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then again to
switch to high-speed. Next, if your spa is equipped with a second
pump press the Jets 2 or “Aux” button, to turn it on. The pumps
will now be running in high-speed to facilitate priming. Once
the filter pump has been running for at least 2 minutes, the actual
water temperature will be displayed.
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:
Any time the spa filter pump has not been running for
a period of time, the LCD display will usually read “--”, which
means the temperature is unknown because the temperature
sensors in the heating unit require the water to be circulating
past them for a couple minutes before calculating a true water
temperature reading.
Setting the Temperature: 80°F-104°F
(26°C-40°C)
Unless changed by the user, the default set temperature from the
factory is 100°F (38°C). To change the spa water temperature,
press “Temp” once to display the current set temperature it will
flash, then press “Temp” additional times to increase (or decrease)
the set temperature. To change the temperature adjustment
direction (from increase to decrease), pause 5 seconds between
pressing “Temp,” then push “Temp” again to desired temperature.
After 3 seconds, the LCD will again display the current spa water
temperature.
Spa Operating Modes
A multi-button sequence is used to switch between Standard,
Economy, and Sleep modes. Press temp + light buttons repeatedly
to cycle through modes.
Standard Mode (St):
When in Standard mode, the
pump that circulates water through the heater (heat pump) will
turn on every 1/2 hour to measure water temperature, heat if
needed, and refresh the temperature display. To place your spa in
Standard mode, press temp + light repeatedly until “St” displays
on the screen.
Economy Mode (Ec):
When in economy mode
the spa only circulates and heats water during designated filter
cycles. As a result, in the time period between filtration cycles the
control may not display the correct water temperature unless the
heater pump is on and has been running for up to two minutes.
When in Economy mode your spa will heat to its set temperature
twice per day during programmed filter cycles. To place your
spa in Economy mode, press temp + light repeatedly until “Ec”
displays on the screen.
NOTE:
Spa owners using “Economy Mode” which heats only
during filtration cycles, may choose to change to “Standard” mode
while using the spa. This will enable the spa to heat and better
maintain temperature during spa use. Spa can be changed back to
“Economy Mode” when exiting the spa.
Sleep Mode:
heats the spa to within 20°F/10°C of the
set temperature only during filter cycles. This mode is most
commonly used during long periods of non-use. To place your
spa in Sleep mode, press temp + light repeatedly until “SL”
displays on the screen.
Since it takes several hours to bring the spa water back up
to set temperature for comfortable use, Sleep Mode is only
recommended if the spa will not be used for 2-3 weeks or more.
Jets 1
Press “Jets 1” to turn pump 1 on and off. If left running, the pump
will automatically turn off after 30 minutes.
Jets 2 (optional)
If your spa is equipped with a two jet pump system, press “Jets 2”
to turn pump 2 on or off. If left running, the pump will turn off
automatically after 30 minutes.
LED Lights
Press l “Light” button to turn the LED lights on and off. To
toggle between all the LED color options, press the light
