Water Care
e Water Care submenu will help you set up your ideal ltration
and heating settings. Choose from Away, Standard - Beginner,
Energy Saving, Super Energy Saving, and Weekender, depending
on your needs and preferences.
Use the
(Light) button to select your setting. A check mark
will appear within the selected icon to conrm your selected
mode.
In the descriptions of each mode below “Economy mode”
means that the set point will be reduced by 20°F* (11°C), which
means that the heating system will not be engaged unless the
temperature falls to 20°F (11°C) below the spa’s set temperature.
e ltration schedule shown on the screen will apply to the main
ltration pump. If your spa uses a circulation pump congured to
run 24 hours, the screen will show you the purge setting instead
of ltration. e purges are pre-programmed for a xed number
of minutes, therefore the duration will be set to N/A on the
screen, and only the start time can be modied.
