the hot tub; however, during this time the hot tub will not heat. Use

default to 24 hours.
Filter cycle duration and frequency are adjustable and can be
changed by following the instructions below.
Once time of day is set press the
button to set start time of Filter
cycle 1. If your hot tub is Hush Pump equipped, changing filter cycles
does not affect the time the pump runs. It tells the system when to
turn on the heater if you are using the Economy heat setting. If your
tub is non Hush Pump, changing the cycle time tells the two - speed
pump 1 when to operate for a filter cycle. Avoid programming a
long filter cycle that runs during the day time hours in hot summer
weather as it could cause the water to overheat. Use the

WARNING
Start Up
Before turning on the power, make sure you have read the Start Up
instructions on page 9. When your hot tub power is first turned on
it will display a series of numbers identifying the software version
and the voltage input. It will then go into a 4 minute priming mode
indicated by a
Pr on the LCD display. During priming mode the
Hush Pump will circulate the water through the filter and heating
system to allow the temperature to be read. If your hot tub is not
Hush Pump equipped, the jet pump will not turn on until the prime
mode times out or the
button is pressed to time out early.
During prime mode the jet pump can be turned on to make sure
they are fully primed and moving water in the hot tub. Do not
allow an unprimed jet pump to run for more than 10 seconds. If
the fill water temperature is below 44°F / 7°C freeze protection
will activate all pumps immediately. While the circulation pump is
running the display will show a - - indicating current temperature is
not known. This will take two minutes. Once temperature is known
it will be displayed on the LCD.
Temperature Adjustment
The temperature range is 80°F - 104°F / 26.0°C – 40.0°C. The
default is 100°F/37.5°C. Any temp changes are saved in the
system memory if power is interrupted. Press the
button to
increase or lower the set points. If the is pressed the set point
will flash. Each press will move the set point 1 degree. If the set
point is moving the wrong direction then stop pressing, let the
temperature display stop flashing, then press again to move the set
point in the other direction. After adjusting the set temp, the LCD
will revert back to the current water temperature.
Note: if set temp is lowered more than 3°F / 1.5°C below current
water temp, the Hush Pump will stop. The circulation will restart
every 30 minutes to check if water temp has come down to set
temp. It will also run continually during programmed times.
Heating Modes
To change to the desired heating mode, press the button then
the button.
There are 3 Heating Modes – Standard, Economy and Sleep
Modes.
St – Standard Mode: (Default mode) In Standard Mode the water
is always heated to the set temperature. The display will show
the temperature always with Hush Pump equipped systems. If non
Hush Pump, current water temperature will be shown when the
pump is running and when pump is not running. If your hot tub is
not equipped with a Hush Pump, the 2 speed pump will come on
every 30 minutes outside of filter cycles to poll for current water
temperature. If you do not want this to happen, use the Economy
mode below.
Ec – Economy Mode: In Economy Mode the water is heated only
during the filter cycle times. The factory default is F4 (4 hours), 2C
(twice a day) for Hybrid3 hot tubs and F2 (2 Hours), 2C (twice
a day) for LEEP hot tubs. If using the Economy mode, you may
need to alter these times to make sure the water is your desired
temperature during your usual hot tub usage times. The first filter
cycle starts 6 minutes after power is turned on. The display will
alternate between the current temperature and
Ec.
SL – Sleep Mode: In Sleep Mode the water is only heated to within
20°F / 11°C of your set point and the heater only comes on during
the programmed filter cycle times. This mode is typically only used
for vacation time. The display will alternate between the current
temperature and
SL.
