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°C – 40°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.
Massage
To activate this jet pump, press the button once to activate
low speed, twice to activate high speed and three times to turn
the pump off. The low speed will turn off automatically after 4
hours and the high speed will turn off after 15 minutes. If the hot
tub is Hush Pump equipped, the low speed of the jet pump will
come on automatically for 1 minute at the start of each filter cycle
to purge the plumbing lines.
Note: If the hot tub is Hush Pump equipped, the low speed of
Massage 1 will come on automatically for 1 minute at the start of
each filter cycle to purge the plumbing lines. If the purge time is
not at the time of day you want, change the filter times.

to turn off. The Turbo will turn off automatically after 15 minutes.
