DOWN EAST (3 -4 PUMP SYSTEMS) - CONTROLS
Initial Start-up
When your spa is first actuated, it will go into Priming mode, indicated by “Pr.” Be sure the pumps and
heating system are free of air by cycling the pumps on and off with the spa-side panel buttons. The spa
will not heat during priming mode, allowing time to verify all air is purged from the heater. The Priming
mode will last for less than 5 minutes (press “Warm” or “Cool” to skip Priming Mode) and then the spa
will begin to heat the spa and maintain the water temperature in the Standard mode.

Note: Refer to pg. 52 for Mystic operations.
Your system has a 24-hour circ pump. The circ pump and the ozone generator run continuously.
Warm/Cool (80˚F - 104˚F / 26˚C - 40˚C)
The start-up temperature is set at 100F°/37°C. The last measured temperature is constantly displayed on
the LCD.
Note: The last measured spa temperature displayed is current only when the circ pump has been running
for at least 2 minutes.
To display the set temperature, press the “Warm” or “Cool” pad once.
To change the set temperature, press the pad a second time before the LCD stops flashing. Each press
of the “Warm” or “Cool” pad will continue to either raise or lower the set temperature. After three
seconds, the LCD will stop flashing and display the current spa temperature.
SPA WATER MAINTENANCE - schedule
For Spas without Eco Pur™ Filtration System
Day Five
1. Test and adjust total alkalinity, if necessary, to between 80 and 150 ppm using the pH / alkalinity
increaser or decreaser, 1oz. at a time. Wait 15 minutes, retest and adjust if necessary. The pump
should be running on high speed during this time with the air controls closed.
2. Test and adjust the pH, if necessary, to within the range of 7.2 to 7.8 using the pH / alkalinity
increaser or decreaser, 1/2oz. at a time. Wait 15 minutes, retest and adjust if necessary. The pump
should be running on high speed during this time with the air controls closed.
3. Test and adjust sanitizer level. Add chlorine following label directions to maintain a free chlorine
level of 1 to 3 ppm. If using bromine, adjust feeder to maintain a total bromine level of 3 to 5
ppm. Add bromine tablets to the dispenser if necessary, following label directions.
4. Shock with 2oz. of non chlorine shock, or superchlorinate following label directions. A spa should
be shocked at least once a week even if it is not used. If using chlorine as the sanitizer, the spa
should be shocked whenever a free chlorine reading of 1 to 3 ppm cannot be obtained without
raising the total chlorine level above 5 ppm. Always shock a spa after any heavy bather load.
5. Check filter cartridge and clean if necessary. Clean with cartridge filter cleaner, following label
directions. It is best to have a spare cartridge on hand, to prevent long spa down times while the
cartridge is being cleaned. Never operate your spa without the filters in place.
6. Use a defoamer only if necessary.
Day Six and Seven Skip
With a spa, you are working with a small volume of hot water, which causes chemicals to have a
shorter life span, and bacteria, along with other things, to grow faster. A spa is less forgiving than
a pool, and requires that whatever is put into it have a pH as close to neutral as possible. That is
why only chemicals made for spas should be used.
