During warm periods of the year there may be times when the actual water temperature exceeds the desired temperature set by
the user. E.g. If the spa is set to heat to 35 C , but the actual water temperature is hotter than 35 C. Please consider this - In the
winter your spa gets cold because the air temperature is cold. To combat this we heat the water and keep the spa covered when not
in use. If the spa is turned off and the ambient temperature is 15 C, eventually the spa water will lose heat until it too is 15 C. In the
summer the same applies but in reverse - you can turn the heater down, even turn the pump off, but if the ambient daytime
temperature is 35 C - 42 C then the spa water will also remain at that temperature.
Manufacturers make no attempt to supply a system that cools water. The quickest way to combat the problem is to change the
water, but even this new water will eventually heat up to the air temperature. Turn the set temperature down so the heater does not
come on. Reduce the minimum filtration time (non circ pump models only) so the pump runs less. The less the pump runs the more
the water will cool. If the nighttime temperature is low, leave the cover off the spa to let heat escape, but put it back on during the day
to keep heat out. If the optional timeclock is fitted increase the sleep time period otherwise turn the spa off overnight. Also make
sure the spa is shaded from direct sunlight.

The Spa Power controller automatically maintains the filtration/sanitising of the spa pool water. The minimum
amount of filtration time is programmable by the user and can be adjusted between 0 and 15 minutes per hour (0 to 6
hours per day). In order to maintain correct filtration of the pool water, the controller monitors the time for which the
pump runs in normal pool operation. If the pump has only run for a short time, the system will automatically run the
pump for anadditional period every hour to reach the minimum filtration time set by theuser.
6 Auto Sanitising (Filtration)
6.1.1 Adjusting Minimum Filtration Time (No 24hr circulation pump fitted))
First push the Down andAir/Aux buttons together to display the filtration time setting on the digital
readout
If desired, a clean up cycle can be initiated to filter the water after the spa pool has been used. This is done by simply
pushing the Pump Button to leave auto mode and switch on the pump. This will circulate the water through
the filter for 90 minutes. After 90 minutes the system will return to auto mode and maintain the temperature ready for
the next time the spa pool is used.
6.1.2 Clean Up Cycle
6.3 My Spa Is Too Hot In Summer!
The default setting is 10 minutes per hour (= 4 hours per day). Holding down the Up Button or Down
Button will adjust the filtration time setting between 0 and 15 minutes per hour. (= 0 to 6 hrs per day).

6.1 No 24hr Circulation Pump Fitted
6.2 24hr Circulation Pump Fitted
The Spa Power controller continuously filters the spa pool to ensure the water is clean and crystal clear
for each and every spa use. A near silent energy efficient circulation pump constantly passes water
through the filter and since the circulation pump runs all the time (except for when the time clock has been
set to sleep or in an error condition) and the heater is controlled automatically there is no need for any
user controls for these features. With a 24hr circulation pump fitted there is no need to program any
filtration cycles, and the noise of a large jet pump running during filtration has been removed.
