Operating instructions
STARTUP
Before turning on the power make sure you have read the Start up 
instructions on page 6. When your hot tub power is first turned on it 
will display a series of numbers identifying the software version and the 
voltage input. It will then go into a 4 minute priming mode indicated by 
a Pr on the LCD display. During priming mode the HushPump™ will 
circulate the water through the filter and heating system to allow the 
temperature to be read. If your tub is not HushPump™ equipped the 
jet pump will not turn on until the prime mode times out or the   
button is pressed to time out early. During Prime mode the jet pump can 
be turned on to make sure they are fully primed and moving water in the 
tub. Do not allow an unprimed jet pump to run for more than 10 seconds. 
If the Fill water temperature is below 50°F/ 9.5C freeze protection will 
activate all pumps immediately. While the circulation pump is running the 
display will show a - - indicating current temperature is not known. This 
will take two minutes. Once temperature is known it will be displayed on 
the LCD.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The temperature range is 80°F - 104°F /26.0°C – 40.0°C. The default 
is 100°F/37.5°C. Any temp changes are saved in the system memory 
if power is interrupted. Press the   button to increase or lower the 
set points. If the   is pressed the set point will flash. Each press will 
move the set point 1 degree. If the set point is moving the wrong direction 
then stop pressing, let the temperature display stop flashing then press 
again to move the set point in the other direction. After adjusting the set 
temp the LCD will revert back to current water temp.
Note: if set temp is lowered more than 3°F/1.5C below current water 
temp the HushPump™ will stop. The circulation will restart every 30 
minutes to check if water temp has come down to set temp. It will also 
run continually during programmed times.
HEATING MODES
St – 
Standard Mode (Default Mode):
 In Standard Mode the 
water is always heated to the set temperature. The display will show the 
temperature always with Hush equipped systems. If non Hush, current 
water temperature will be shown when the pump is running and – when 
pump is not running. If your tub is not equipped with a HushPump™ the 
2 speed pump will come on every 30 minutes outside of filter cycles to 
poll for current water temperature. If you do not want this to happen, use 
the Economy mode below.
Ec – 
Economy Mode:
 In Economy Mode the water is heated only 
during the filter cycle times. The factory default is F4 - 4 hours, twice a 
day. If using the Economy mode you may need to alter these times to 
make sure the water is at your desired temp during your usual tub use 
times. The first cycle starts 6 minutes after power is turned on. The display 
will show the will alternate between Ec and the current temperature.
SL – 
Sleep Mode
: In Sleep Mode the water is only heated to within 
20°F/11°C of your set point and the heater only comes on during the 
programmed filter cycle times. This mode is typically only used for 
vacation time. The display will alternate between the current temperature 
and SL.
To change heating modes press the   button then the   button.
