Operating Modes
Your Coleman Spa comes with three primary
operating modes.
Standard Mode maintains the water at the
desired set temperature. Note that the last measured
spa temperature displayed is current only when the
pump has been running for at least 2 minutes. The
“STANDARD” icon will be displayed in the LCD
window when this mode is selected.
Economy Mode heats the water to the desired
set temperature ONLY during filter cycles. The
“ECONOMY” icon will be displayed in the LCD
window when this mode is selected. While in the
Economy mode, pressing the “Jets 1” button will
put the spa into the
Standard-In-Economy mode,
which operates the same as the Standard Mode, then
reverts back to the Economy mode after 1 hour.
The spa can be immediately reverted back into the
Economy mode at any time by simply pressing the
“Mode/Prog” button.
Sleep Mode heats the spa to within 20°F
(11°C) of the set temperature only during filter
cycles. The “SLEEP” icon will be displayed in the
LCD window when this mode is selected.
Changing Modes
To change the operating mode, press the
“Mode/Prog” button. The operating mode will be
flashing on the LCD window. Press the “Cool” but-
ton to cycle through to the desired mode, and then
press the “Mode/Prog” button to confirm selection.
Pressing “Warm” or “Cool” then “Jets2” will
put the spa into the Standby Mode. While in this
mode, all spa functions are temporarily suspended
to allow for filter changes or other routine mainte-
nance tasks. Press any button to exit the Standby
mode.
Time and Filtration Cycles
The control system on your spa has been
designed to function properly and safely at 100°F
after connecting the electrical wires and installing
the proper grounds.
T
o take full advantage of the
unique capabilities of your new spa, you should first
set the time and establish your filtration cycles.
Setting the
T
ime
When the time of day has not been pro-
grammed, the
TIME icon will be flashing on the
LCD window. To set the time of day, first press the
“Time” button then press the “Mode/Prog” button.
The hour digit(s) will be flashing on the LCD win-
dow. Press the “Warm” or “Cool” button to
advance the hours up or down to the desired set
point. Press the “Mode/Prog” button to enter the
time hour.
The minute digits will now be flashing on the
LCD window. Press the “Warm” or “Cool” button
to advance the minutes up or down to the desired
set point. Press the “Mode/Prog” button to enter the
time minutes.
At this point you can either proceed with set-
ting the filtration cycles as described in the follow-
ing “Changing Filter Cycle” section, or press the
“Time” button to save the settings and exit the pro-
gramming sequence.
Preset Filter Cycles
Once the time of day has been set, your spa
will automatically filter the water for a 2-hour peri-
od every 12 hours. The first filter cycle comes pre-
set to operate from 8:00AM to 10:00AM, and the
second filter cycle comes preset to operate from
8:00PM to 10:00PM. The F1 indicator light will be
lit whenever the spa is in the first filter cycle. The
F2 indicator light will be lit whenever the spa is in
the second filter cycle. During a filter cycle, the
primary filtration pump will operate in low speed
and can not be turned off unless the spa is put into
the Standby mode. At the beginning of each filtra-
tion cycle, the other equipment in the spa will turn
on for 30 seconds to purge all plumbing lines and
ensure complete filtration.
Changing Filter Cycles
The Powerworks
TM
460 control system allows
you to adjust the start time and duration of each fil-
ter cycle independently to best suit your schedule.
The amount of time needed to filter your spa will
vary depending upon usage and ambient conditions,
but a total filter time of at least four hours per day is
recommended to properly clean and maintain the
water.
If you are setting the filter cycles as a continu
-
ance from setting the time then proceed to the next
paragraph.
T
o initiate the programming sequence to
change the filter cycles, press “T
