Operation
begins 12 hours after the start of the rst cycle. Most spa
owners with select or basic control systems power up their
spa at approximately 6:00-7:00 a.m. so the morning and
evening ltration cycles are close to when the spa may be
used (see “Economy Mode” paragraph above). The ltration
pump (either pump 1 or circ pump) and ozone purier* run
during ltration cycles. In addition, all jet pumps will run for
the rst 10 minutes of each lter cycle to purge the JetPaks
™
and JetPods
™
. The factory lter cycle duration is set for 2 hours
twice per day for non-circ models, and 6 hours twice per day
for circ pump models. Filter cycle duration can be programmed
by the spa owner for one hour up to12 hours (F1-F12).
To change the lter cycle duration, press temp + jets 1. Press
temp to cycle through the 1 to 12 hour lter duration options
(F1-F12). Press jets 1 to select the desired lter duration. Press
temp again to cycle through the options for number of lter
cycles per 24 hour period. The display will show three options:
“dn” (for day and night),” d” (day only), or “n” (night only).
Press jets 1 to select desired option. Press jets 1 again to exit
the program.
Note: For most applications, “dn” (day and night) lter cycles
is recommended as two 2-hour lter cycles 12 hours apart is
better than one 4 hour lter cycle once per day. For continuous
ltration, use F12 and dn. Allowing the lter pump to operate
for extended periods of time with the cover on the spa will
result in a rise of the spa water temperature. During warmer
months of the year, it is advisable to set the duration of the
ltration cycle to the minimum level needed to keep the
water clean.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature drops to 44°F (7°C) within the heater, the
pump(s) automatically activates to provide freeze protection.
The pump will stay on 4 minutes after the sensor has detected
the temperature has reached 45°F (7°C) or higher.
*Ozone Purier (optional)
The ozone purier runs during lter cycles. The ozone is
disabled during spa use by either turning pump 1 to high
speed or pump 2 to high or low speed (for non-circ spas), or,
for a circ pump spa, by turning either pump 1 or pump 2 to
any speed.
Premier Control System (Bullfrog Spa models only)
General
In spas equipped with an optional WellSpring circulation
pump (referred to as “circ pump”), this circ pump acts as the
ltration and heating pump for the spa water. For standard
spas not equipped with a circ pump, Pump 1 (in low speed) is
the pump which provides ltration and heating. In this
section, the pump providing the ltration and heating
(whether the circ pump or pump 1) is referred to as the “lter”
or “ltration” pump.
Some functions require pressing multiple buttons on the control
pad in a certain sequence. This is indicated by a “+” sign in
the instruction (for example: press temp + light to enter mode
programming). Do not press the buttons at the same time,
however do press the buttons one right after another within 3
seconds.
Timeouts refer to a preset length of time that a function is
programmed to operate before shutting off automatically.
Certain conditions (lter or freeze) can cause a function to
operate longer, while faults can cause a function to operate
for a shorter length of time. The system keeps track of
timeouts regardless of other conditions.
Initial Startup
Before turning on the power to the spa, make sure the spa is
properly lled with water. When your spa is rst powered up, it
will automatically go into Priming mode (Pr) that will last for
up to 4 minutes. Press warmer or cooler to exit the Priming
mode early. Once the priming mode has completed, the
control system will turn on the lter pump and begin to heat
the water in Standard mode.
Setting the Time
After initial Prime mode, the TIME icon will appear on the
control panel’s liquid crystal display (LCD). To set the time,
press time + mode/prog. Select the hour by pressing warmer
