This is not necessarily a problem with the controller itself, but indicates that no water is being detected in the heater housing. Prime failed
is a special case in that it can be recovered from by pushing a button. Apush of the pump button will run the pump for 10 seconds to try to
get water to the heater. If successful normal operation will resume. If unsuccessful, Error 1(H20) will be indicated onthe display again.
- Stuck Button
This error indicates that one of the buttons in the touchpad is stuck or has been held down for more than one minute. This may be caused
by the pool cover pressing on the touchpad or by water getting into the touchpad or by damage to the touchpad or its cable. Try to reset
the spa. If there isstill a problem then contactyour spa pool supplier.

or by damage to thesensor.Tryto reset the spa. Ifthere is still a problemthen contact your spa poolsupplier.
- Overtemperature
This error indicates that the digital temperature sensor in the heater or pool has detected a temperature of 45 C or more.This may not be a
problem with the controller, it may be caused by excessivepump usein hot weather, or pump failure. Turn off the spa and allow time for the
water to cool. If thereis still a problem thencontact your spa pool supplier.
- Thermal CutOut Tripped
This error indicates that the safety electromechanical over temperature cut out on the heater has operated. This is not necessarily a
problem with the controller. It may have occurred from an air lock around the element, high temperatures during shipping, or failure of the
pump. This automatic cut out will only reset once the element has cooled below about 38 C. The unit must then be reset before it will
resume operation. Manually push theUP, DOWN andPUMP buttons simultaneously.
