Start-up
Your spa will enter Priming Mode ( ) after the initial start-up
sequence . During Priming Mode, press “Jets” button
repeatedly and be sure the pump is free of air. Priming
Mode lasts less than 5 minutes. Press “Warm” or “Cool” to exit.
After Priming Mode, the spa will run in its preset mode (see
Mode section for details.).
Temp Control (80°F - 104°F / 26°C - 40°C)
The last measured water temperature is constantly displayed.
The water temperature displayed is current only when the
pump has been running for at least 2 minutes.
To display the set temperature, press “Warm” or “Cool” once. To
change the set temperature, press a temperature button again
before the display stops flashing. Each press of “Warm” or
“Cool” will adjust the set temperature.
After three seconds, the display will stop flashing and begin to
display the current spa temperature.
Jets
Press “Jets” to turn the pump on or off, and to shift between low
and high speeds (if equipped). If left running, the pump will turn
off after a preset length of time, which on some systems may be as
long as 2 hours for low speed. High speed will turn off after 15
minutes.
Low speed may run automatically at times, during which it cannot
be deactivated from the panel, but high speed may be operated.
The ozone generator (if installed) will activate anytime low speed
is running.
In multi-button sequences, if the buttons are pressed too quickly
in sequence, they may not register.

Preset Filter Cycles
The first preset filter cycle begins 6 minutes after the spa is
energized. The second preset filter cycle begins 12 hours later.
Filter duration is programmable for 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours or for
continuous filtration. The default filter time is 2 hours.
It is important to set filter cycles on a pattern. We recommend
programing cycles at 7 am & 7 pm and avoiding the hours from
10am-5pm.
