spaTouch™ Menued Control Panels Balboa Water Group BP Series Systems User Interface and Programming Reference The spaTouch™ menued panel is compatible with all BP systems that already support the TP800 and/or the TP900. If this panel is used with a system that supports only the TP400 and/or TP600, many screens will work correctly, but the spa screen will not display correctly and may not control all of your equipment.
The Main Screen Spa Status Important information about spa operation can be seen on the Main Screen. Most features, including Set Temperature adjustment, can be accessed from this screen. The actual water temperature and Set Temperature can be seen, and the Set Temperature can be adjusted (see page 4). Time-of-Day, Ozone and Filter status is available, along with other messages and alerts. The selected Temperature Range is indicated in the upper right corner.
The Main Screen Navigation Navigating the entire menu structure is done by touching the screen. When a text item is shown in white on the main screen, it is selectable. The menu selections on the right side of the screen can be selected. Select one of these to enter a different screen with additional controls. Most menu screens time out and revert to the main screen after 30 seconds of no activity.

The Set Temperature changes immediately. Press Back to return to the Main Screen. If you need to switch between high range and low range you need to go to the Settings Screen.
The Spa Screen All Equipment Access The Spa Screen shows all available equipment to control, as well as other features, like Invert. The display shows icons that are related to the equipment installed on a particular spa model, so this screen may change depending on the installation. The icon buttons are used to select and control individual devices. Some devices, like pumps, may have more than one ON state, so the icon will change to reflect the state that the equipment is in.
Common Buttons Exiting Screens When you see both of these buttons, whether they are labeled or not, they always mean Save and Cancel. They appear on most editing screens once you have changed the value on that screen. Time of Day Save 12 :05 10: 00 PM PM 12 HR Save Back Cancel Cancel Time of Day Save 12 :05 10: 00 PM PM 12 HR Save Back Cancel Cancel If the screen times out due to no activity it will act like Cancel.
Common Buttons – Continued Page Up/Down If an Up or Down button is shown and pressed when in a Menu List, the list can be scrolled a page at a time. The scroll bar on the right side of the screen indicates the relative position of the page.
The Settings Screen Programming, Etc. The Settings Screen is where all programming and other spa behaviors are controlled. This screen has several features that can be acted on directly. These features may include Temp Range, Heat Mode, Hold, and Invert Panel. When one of these items is selected, it will toggle between two settings. All other menu items (with an arrow pointing to the right) go to another level in the menu.
The Settings Screen – Continued Heat Mode – Ready vs. Rest In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “heater pump.” The heater pump can be either a 2-speed pump (Pump 1) or a circulation pump. If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display.
Fill it up! Preparation and Filling Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process. After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel will display a splash screen or startup screen.
Spa Behavior Pumps On the Spa Screen, select a “Jets” button once to turn the pump on or off, and to shift between low- and high-speeds if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. Non-Circ Systems The low-speed of pump 1 runs when the blower or any other pump is on. If the spa is in Ready Mode (See page 9), Pump 1 low may also activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature (polling) and then to heat to the set temperature if needed.
Time-of-Day Be sure to set the Time-of-Day Setting the time-of-day is important for determining filtration times and other background features. “Set Time” will appear on the display if no time-of-day is set in the memory. On the Settings Screen, select the Time-of-Day line. On the Time-of-Day screen, simply select the Hour, Minutes, and 12/24 Hour segments. Use the Up and Down Buttons to make changes.
Adjusting Filtration Main Filtration Using the same adjustment as Setting the Time, Filter Cycles are set using a start time and a duration. Each setting can be adjusted in 15-minute increments. The panel calculates the end time and displays it automatically.
Additional Settings Light Cycle Option If Light Cycle does not appear in the Settings Menu, the Light Timer feature is not enabled by the manufacturer. When available, the Light Timer is OFF by default. The settings can be edited the same way that Filter Cycles are edited (see page 13).
Restricting Operation The control can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or temperature adjustments. Lock Back Settings Panel Off Off Locking the Panel prevents the controller from being used, but all automatic functions are still active. Locking the Settings allows Jets and other features to be used, but the Set Temperature and other programmed settings cannot be adjusted. Settings Lock allows access to a reduced selection of menu items.
Scenes What are Scenes? Scenes are stored combinations of equipment states. For example if you want to have Pump 1 at high speed and Pump 2 at low speed and the Light ON, you could store that in a Scene and recall this combination at any time. Storing a Scene Press a Scene number and hold until “Scene stored“ appears at the bottom of the screen to save the current equipment combination.
Additional Settings Hold Mode - M037* Hold Mode is used to disable the pumps during service functions like cleaning or replacing the filter. Hold Mode will last for 1 hour unless the mode is exited manually. If spa service will require more than an hour, it may be best to simply shut down power to the spa. Drain Mode Some spas have a special feature that allows Pump 1 to be employed when draining the water. When available, this feature is a component of Hold Mode.
Additional Settings Preferences Preferences The Preferences Menu allows the user to change certain parameters based on personal preference. Back Temp Display Change the temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Time Display Temp Display Time Display Reminders Cleanup Dolphin Color Language °F 12 HR On 0.5 HR ` 5 ` Blue English ` Change the clock between 12 hr and 24 hr display. Reminders Turn the reminder messages (like “Clean Filter”) On or Off.
Information System Information System Information The System Information Menu displays various settings and identification of the particular system. As each item in the menu is selected, the detail for that item is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Software ID (SSID) Displays the software ID number for the System. Back Software ID (SSID) System Model Current Setup Configuration Signature Heater Voltage Heater Type Software ID (SSID): M100_101 V0.
Utilities – GFCI Test Feature The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Detector (RCD) is an important safety device and is required equipment on a hot tub installation. (The GFCI Test Feature is not available on CE rated systems.) GFCI Status - Passed Back Test Reset Used for verifying a proper installation Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. If your spa has this feature enabled by the manufacturer, the GFCI Trip Test must occur to allow proper spa function.
