INTRODUCTION
Thank you for buying a spa equipped with a SmarTouch Digital
control system. Many years of experience went into the design of
this family of controls. You can be assured your spa control system
is the most advanced, it is highly reliable and will serve you for many
years to come.
The control system has been designed with you, the user in mind. It
is very easy to operate and requires a minimal effort on your part.
You may use it just as it comes to you and without any programming.
Yet you have the option of getting deeply involved in the inner
workings of the control if you so choose. You can custom tailor it to
fit your needs.
Please take the time to read at least the first section (next page) “IN
A HURRY – READ THIS” portion of the manual before starting to use
your spa for the first time. You can familiarize yourself with the rest
of the manual at your leisure.
The more efficient the system is the
less energy it uses.
The concept behind SmarTouch Digital is to maintain the desired
temperature setting and water filtration with the least amount of
energy consumption.
Temperature and Overheat sensors are located at the Stainless Steel
heater manifold, the coldest and hottest spot where true
temperature is measured and to detect Freeze and Overheat
conditions.
Considering the large volume of cooler water in the plumbing, pump
and heater manifold, low speed primary pump is activated for five
minutes every three hours to stabilize spa temperature, prior to
activating the heater. Estimated 102F water temperature drop at 55F
ambient air temperature is about half a degree Fahrenheit in a well
insulated spa. Heater will not start at this point until next cycle.
Temperature must drop by 1F before heater is activated.
