Setting the Filtration Cycles
Filtration cycles run every 12 hours
To change the length of the lter cycle, press the “Cool” button. The current water temperature will ash on the topside display. While the temperature is still
ashing, press the “Pump” button, then press the “Cool” button, stopping when the setting you want is displayed on the topside controls. Press the “Jets” button
to conrm your selection. Filter cycles can be set for 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours. Damage from over heating is not covered under the warranty.
The rst ltration cycle will begin automatically when priming mode is complete, approximately 6 minutes after the spa is powered on. When the ltration cycle
begins, the pump will operate on high speed for approximately 1 minute to ush the lines, after which the pump will operate on low speed until the ltration cycle
is complete. Filtration cycles run every 12 hours. For example, If the GFCI is powered on at 4:54 and you have selected 2 hour ltration cycles, your ltration
cycles will run from 5 to 7 in the morning and in the evening. If you want the ltration cycles to run from 3 to 5, you should power on the spa at 2:54.
UNDERSTANDING OPERATING MODES
Your spa controls are equipped with three operating modes to help you regulate energy consumption and reduce operating costs. How often the spa is used and
the ambient temperature will help you determine which mode is best for you. To change operating modes, press the “Cool” button and while the display is still
ashing, press the “light” button. The current mode will ash on the topside control. Press the “Cool” button followed immediately by the “Light” button until the
operating mode you want to select is displayed on the topside controls.
Standard Operating Mode
The water is heated to maintain your pre-programmed temperature setting
The current water temperature is displayed on the topside controls
When your spa is in Standard Operating Mode, it’s always ready to use whenever you’re ready to use it. Your desired pre-programmed temperature setting is
automatically maintained. The current water temperature will be displayed on the topside controls when the spa is in Standard Operating Model unless you are
switching between modes, when “St”will be displayed momentarily on the topside controls.
Economy Mode
The water heats only during ltration cycles
In Economy Mode the water may be too cool for immediate use.
“EC” is displayed on the topside controls
DO NOT PUT YOUR SPA IN ECONOMY MODE WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS 40º F OR LOWER!
Economy Mode reduces energy consumption by heating the water only during ltration cycles. In Standard Operating Mode, the spa automatically begins heating
when the water temperature falls a couple of degrees. In Economy Mode the water heats to the programmed temperature only during lter cycles. In moderate
weather, setting the ltration cycle to end right before use can be an eective way to reduce energy consumption. In Economy Mode, the water temperature will
ash alternately with “EC” on the display when the pump is running on low speed, after diagnostic testing, during or after a ltration cycle, or when you press the
“Cool” button once. Otherwise “Ec” is displayed on the topside controls.
Sleep Mode
The water heats to 20 ̊F below the pre-programmed temperature setting
The water heats during filtration cycles only
“SL” is displayed on the topside controls
DO NOT PUT YOUR SPA IN SLEEP MODE WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS 40º F OR LOWER!
Sleep Mode can signicantly reduce energy consumption because the water only heats during lter cycles and stops heating when the water temperature is 20 ̊ F
below the pre-programmed temperature setting. For example, if your pre-programmed temperature setting is 100º F, during the filtration cycle your water will heat
to 80º F. If the filtration cycle times out before the water temperature reaches 80º F, the filtration cycle will end regardless of the water temperature. Sleep Mode is
ideal when the weather is warm or when the spa will not be in use for a prolonged period of time. When your spa is in Sleep mode, the water temperature ashes
alternately with “SL”on the display when the pump is running on low speed, after diagnostic testing, during or a ltration cycle, or when you press the “Cool”
button once. Otherwise, “SL” will be displayed on the topside controls.
Freeze Protection
If the water temperature falls to 44º F, the spa will automatically turn on and will run for 4 minutes after the water temperature reaches 46º F to prevent freezing.
If your spa is in Sleep Mode when the ambient temperature is 40º F or lower, the water temperature will likely operate in Freeze Protection Mode for extended
periods if not continuously.
When the display on the topside control ashes the spa is in programming mode. After you press one button, you should wait ve seconds before you press
a dierent button. For example, if you only press the “Light” button ,only the light function changes. If you only press the “Cool” button, only the temperature
changes. But you press the “Light” button and immediately press the “Cool” button the operating mode will change. Waiting 5 seconds between pressing the
“Light” and “Cool” buttons will prevent you from accidentally changing the operating mode.
It may be dicult to read the topside display in bright sunlight. Standing under an umbrella can block direct sunlight and increase visibility.

Troubleshooting
Topside Control Error Messages
Resetting your spa controls
will often resolve error
messages. To reset your spa
controls, turn your GFCI o
and turn it back on after 30
minutes.
If an error message is still
displayed on your topside
controls after resetting your
spa controls, contact your
dealer for assistance.
