MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE

The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or alkalinity in the

water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. Pure water has a value of

7, which is neutral. Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below

7 is acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH level, between

7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa. Severe problems can occur

when the pH balance is not maintained within this range. If the pH level

exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build up and clog the plumbing

in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls below 7.2, the acid level in the

water will begin to corrode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the

sanitation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH level is not

properly maintained. Damage caused by improper pH levels is not cov-

ered under the warranty. To maintain the proper pH level, you should

test the pH of the water regularly. To test the water, purchase a pH test

kit at a pool and spa supplier. The pH reading should be between 7.2

and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If

the level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test

the water again after ﬁve minutes. See the instructions with your pH

test kit for additional information about testing and adjusting the pH.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILURE

After a power-up, the display will blink until a key on the control panel

is pressed. This feature is to let the user know that a power failure has

occurred.

Overtemp Mode

OH indicates the water temperature has reached 112 degrees

Fahrenheit ( 44.4 degrees Celcius ). The heater and all output

functions will turn off until water cools to 109 degrees Fahrenheit ( 43

degrees Celcius ). The only functions that will operate during Over-

temp Error will be the Smart Winter Mode and all the keys that do not

start an accessory.

Pressure Switch

The heater is turned off during a FLO error. When pump 1 is on, the

pressure switch is given 5 seconds to close. If, after this delay, the

switch is still open, a FLO error occurs. During this 5 second delay, the

heater can’t be turned on.

To prevent dry run, if the FLO error occurs for more than 0 minutes, the

PUMP 1 or circulation pump will turn OFF. Once in dry run pretection

mode, if any key is pressed, the pump will restart. The error will display

until the ﬂow problem is resolved. When the system detects that the

error message condition no longer exists, it will clear the error itself.
