Start Up
Your spa will enter Priming Mode (Pr) after initial start-up
sequence. During Priming Mode, press Jets Button(s)
repeatedly to ensure all pumps are free of air. Priming Mode
will end automatically in 4 minutes. Press a Temperature
Button to exit Priming Mode manually. When Priming Mode
ends, Pump 1 will start and the water temperature will appear
after about a minute. If the water temperature is below the Set
Temperature, the heater will begin.
Basic Operation
Press a Temperature Button once to see the current
temperature flash on the LCD (Note that the Set Temperature and
actual temperature are often different). While the numbers are
flashing, press a Temperature Button again to change the Set
Temperature. Press-and-hold for faster adjustment. After the new
Set Temperature stops flashing (about 10 seconds) the actual
temperature is displayed and the new Set Temperature is
programmed. The spa will now adjust to the new Set Temperature.
The Light Button turns the Spa Light on and off and is
also used in conjunction with the Temperature Button(s) to
navigate the system menus.
Automatic Polling (Standard Mode)
The pump activates for one minute to check the temperature: every
30 minutes, if another pump is on, when set temperature is raised.

enter Set Temp Mode. While the Set Temperature is flashing, press
“Lightrepeatedly until “FLTR1appears. Press a Temp. Button

Buttons to program filter cycle duration. PressLightto set the

Temp. Buttonto select and program the second filter cycle in the
same way.
The two filtration cycles should be programed 12 hours apart for 2
hours each. It is important to set filter cycles on a pattern. We
recommend programming cycles at 7am/7 pm and avoiding the
hours between 10am-5pm.
Programming
Navigating the deeper menu structure is done with only 2 or 3
buttons. Press a Temperature Button once to see the temperature
flash. Pressing the Light Button while the Set Temperature is
flashing enters the menu. Continually pressing Light” to proceed
through the Menu Choices (TEMP, MODE, TIME, FLIP, LOCK,
HOLD, FLTR1, FLTR2, PREF, UTIL). Pressing a Temperature
Button while any menu item is showing will edit it directly or
begin an editing sequence. After editing, allow 10-30 seconds to
return the panel to normal operation and display the spa status.
Ready and Rest Modes
READY Mode will circulate water every 1/2 hour using Pump 1
Low to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and
refresh the temperature display (polling).
REST Mode will only allow heating during programed filter
cycles. Since polling does not occur, the temperature display may
not show a current temperature until the filtration pump has been
running for a minute or two. READY/REST Mode may appear
when Jet 1 is activated.
Dual Temperature Ranges
This system incorporates two temperature range settings with
independent set temperatures. The High Range is indicated by the
display and can be set from 80*F-104*F. The Low
Range is indicated by the display and can be set from
50*F-99*F. Low Range is economical during non-use periods.
More specific Temperature ranges may be determined by the
manufacturer.
