the pad is pressed, the display will show the set temperature. Pressing the pad a second 
time will cause the set temperature to increase or decrease depending on what direction 
was last chosen. Each successive press will change the set temperature in the same 
direction. Set temp display will flash while you are setting temp. Display will show 
constant when set temp is accepted. 
  If the opposite direction is desired, release the pad and let the display revert to the actual 
water temperature again. Press the pad to display the set temperature, and again to make 
the temperature change in the desired direction. After three seconds, the LCD will

OPERATION 
The Portsmouth, Exeter, and Cape Cod models are equipped with a dual pump system, 
one pump operates on either high or low speed. Pressing the first “Jets” button to the 
right of the display once will turn the pump on low speed. Press again for high speed and 
once more for off. Pressing the second “Jets” button will turn pump two on high speed, 
press button again and pump turns off. Pump two is activated only in high speed. 
The low speed of the pump may activate for at least 2 minutes every 30 minutes to detect 
the spa temperature and then to heat to the set temperature if needed, depending upon 
mode. When the low speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the 
panel; however, the high speed may be started. If your spa is equipped with an optional 
circ pump, the circ pump will monitor temperature and filter 24 hours a day. 
Also, as a safety feature your spa is equipped with ”Freeze protection.” Should the 
temperature sensors detect a drop below 40° F within the heater, then the pump (as well 
as the heater, if necessary) will automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The 
equipment stays on until the sensors detect that the spa temperature has risen to within 
15° F of the set temperature. It is recommended that if you are going to be away from 
your spa for a long period of time during usually cold weather that you contact your 
Down East Spas dealer for proper winterizing details or see the section “Winterizing Your 
Spa.”

FILTRATION 
Your Down East Spa is designed to automatically filter twice each day on low speed 
through the pump. The first cycle will begin six minutes after the spa is energized. The 
second daily cycle will begin twelve (12) hours later. Each filter cycle is preset at two (2) 
hours. After the start of every cycle, pump 2 (plus pump 1 if equipped with a circ pump) 
purges for 5 minutes. It may be reset for two, four, six, or eight hour increments via the 
top panel control.
