The Settings Screen
Programming, Etc.
The Settings Screen is where all programming and other spa behaviors are controlled.
Each icon on the Settings screen takes you to a different screen, where one or more setting may be viewed and/or edited.
Dual Temperature Ranges (High vs. Low)
This system incorporates two temperature range settings with independent set temperatures. The specific range can be
selected on the Settings screen and is visible on the Main Screen in the upper left corner of the display.
These ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common use being a “ready to use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting.
Each range maintains its own set temperature as programmed by the user. This way, when a range is chosen, the spa will
heat to the set temperature associated with that range.
High Range can be set between 80°F and 104°F.
Low Range can be set between 50°F and 99°F.
More specific Temp Ranges may be determined by the Manufacturer.
Freeze Protection is active in either range.
The Heat Icon takes you to a screen where you control the Heat Mode and the Temperature Range.

The Settings Screen – Continued
Heat Mode – Ready vs. Rest
In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. The pump that performs this function
is known as the “heater pump.”
The heater pump can be either a 2-speed pump (Pump 1) or a circulation pump.
If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to
maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display. This is known as “polling.”
Rest Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Since polling does not occur, the temperature display
may not show a current temperature until the heater pump has been running for a minute or two.
When the heater pump has come on automatically (for example for heating) you can switch between low speed and high
speed but you cannot turn the heater pump off.
Circulation Mode (See Page 13, under Pumps, for other circulation modes)
If the spa is configured for 24HR circulation, the heater pump generally runs continuously. Since the heater pump is always
running, the spa will maintain set temperature and heat as needed in Ready Mode, without polling.
In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set temperature during programmed filter times, even though the water is being
filtered constantly when in 24HR circulation mode.
Ready-in-Rest Mode
Ready in Rest Mode appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and the Jets 1 Button is pressed. When the heater
pump has come on automatically (for example for heating) you can switch between low speed and high speed but you
cannot turn the heater pump off. After 1 hour, the System will revert to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset by
selecting the Heat Mode line on the Screen shown here.

Canadian Patent: 2342614, Australian patent: 2373248 other patents both foreign and domestic applied for and pending. All material copyright of Balboa Water Group.
Preparation and Filling
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to
allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process.
After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel will display a splash screen or startup screen.
Priming Mode – M019*
After the initial start-up sequence, the control will enter Priming Mode and display a Priming Mode screen. Only pump icons
appear on the priming mode screen. During the priming mode, the heater is disabled to allow the priming process to be
completed without the possibility of energizing the heater under low-flow or no-flow conditions. Nothing comes on
automatically, but the pump(s) can be energized by selecting the “Jet” buttons. If the spa has a Circ Pump, it can be
turned on and off by pressing the “Circ” button during Priming Mode.
Priming the Pumps
As soon as the Priming Mode screeen appears on the panel, select the
“Jets 1” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then again to
switch to high-speed. Also, select the other pumps, to turn them on.
The pumps should be running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the
pumps have not primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from
the jets in the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn
off the pumps and repeat the process. Note: Turning the power off and
back on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Sometimes
momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime. Do
not do this more than 5 times. If the pump(s) will not prime, shut
off the power to the spa and call for service.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for
more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5
minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into an
overheat condition.
Exiting Priming Mode
The system will automatically enter the normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode, which lasts 4-5
minutes.
You can manually exit Priming Mode by pressing the “Back” button on the Priming Mode Screen. Note that if you do not
manually exit the priming mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically terminated after 4-5 minutes.
Be sure that the pump(s) have been primed by this time.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will display the Main Screen, but the display will not show
the water temperature yet, as shown below. This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowing
through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it.

Canadian Patent: 2342614, Australian patent: 2373248 other patents both foreign and domestic applied for and pending. All material copyright of Balboa Water Group.
Pumps
On the Spa Screen, select a “Jets” button once to turn the pump on or off, and to shift between low- and high-speeds
if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period.
Non-Circ Systems
The low-speed of pump 1 runs when the blower or any other pump is on. If the spa is in Ready Mode (See page 11), Pump 1
low may also activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature (polling) and then to heat
to the set temperature if needed. When the low-speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel,
however the high speed may be started.
Circulation Pump Modes
If the system is equipped with a circ pump, it will be configured to work in one of three different ways:
1, The circ pump operates continuously (24 hours) with the exception of turning off for 30 minutes at a time when the
water temperature reaches 3°F (1.5°C) above the set temperature (most likely to happen in very hot climates).
2, The circ pump stays on continuously, regardless of water temperature.
3, A programmable circ pump will come on when the system is checking temperature (polling), during filter cycles, during
freeze conditions, or when another pump is on.
The specific Circulation Mode that is used has been determined by the Manufacturer and cannot be changed in the field.
Other device options may be available, like Blower, Light, Mister, etc.
Filtration and Ozone
On non-circ systems, Pump 1 low and the ozone generator will run during filtration. On circ systems, the ozone will
generally run with the circ pump, but can be limited to filtration cycles. (On some circs systems, Pump 1 low will run
along with the circ Pump during filtration.)
The system is factory-programmed with one filter cycle that will run in the evening (assuming the time-of-day is properly
set) when energy rates are often lower. The filter time and duration are programmable. (See page 16)
A second filter cycle can be enabled as needed.
At the start of each filter cycle, the water devices like blower, mister device (if these exist) and other pumps will run briefly
to purge the plumbing to maintain good water quality.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the water devices automatically
activate to provide freeze protection. The water devices will run either continuously or periodically depending on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by
the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the temperature thresholds determined by
the switch. See your dealer for details.
Clean-up Cycle (optional)
When a pump or blower is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump or blower is
turned off or times out. The pump and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or more, depending on the system.
On some systems, you can change this setting. (See the Cleanup Cycle section on page 22)

Circulation Pump Modes
Some spas may be manufactured with Circ Pump settings that allow programming filtration cycle duration. Some circ Modes
are pre-programmed to operate 24 hours a day and are not programmable. Refer to the spa manufacturer’s documentation
for any Circ Mode details.
Purge Cycles
In order to maintain sanitary conditions, as well as protect against freezing, secondary water devices will purge water from
their respective plumbing by running briefly at the beginning of each filter cycle. (Some systems will run a certain number
of purge cycles per day, independent of the number of filter cycles per day. In this case, the purge cycles may not coincide
with the start of the filter cycle.)
If the Filter Cycle 1 duration is set for 24 hours, enabling Filter Cycle 2 will initiate a purge when Filter Cycle 2 is
programmed to begin.
The Meaning of Filter Cycles
1. The heating pump always runs during the filter cycle*
2. In Rest Mode, heating only occurs during the filter cycle
3. Purges happen at the start of each filter cycle
*For example, if your spa is set up for 24/hour circulation except for shutting
off when the water temperature is 3˚F/1.3˚C above the set temperature, that
shutoff does not occur during filter cycles.

Additional Settings – Continued
Hold - M037*
Hold Mode is used to disable the pumps during service functions
like cleaning or replacing the filter. Hold Mode will last for 1 hour unless
the mode is exited manually. If spa service will require more than an hour,
it may be best to simply shut down power to the spa.
The Hold Icon on the Settings Screen places the spa in Hold Mode and displays the System Hold screen.
Touch Back to exit Hold Mode.
Drain Mode
Some spas have a special feature that allows Pump 1 to be employed
when draining the water. When available, this feature is a component of Hold Mode.
*M0XX is a Message Code. Codes like this will be seen in the Fault Log
Touch this Icon to turn the Drain Pump
ON or OFF.

The Utilities Screen
Utilities
The Utilities Icon on the Settings Screen takes
you to the Utilities Screen.
The Utilities Screen contains the following:
Panel
Touching the Panel Icon on the Utilities Screen takes
you to the Panel Screen, where you can set how long it
takes the panel to go to sleep after the last activity.
The Sleep Timer can be set from 1 minute to 60 minutes.
The default is 30 minutes.
Demo Mode
Demo Mode is not always enabled, so it may not appear.
This is designed to operate several devices in a sequence in
order to demonstrate the various features of a particular hot tub.
Fault Log
The Fault Log is a record of the last 24 faults that can be
reviewed by a service tech.
Use the Up and Down buttons to view each of the Faults.
When Priming Mode shows in the Fault Log, it is not a fault. Rather, it is used to keep track of spa restarts.
GFCI Test
(Feature not available on CE rated systems.)
Your systems may have GFCI configured in one of three ways:
1. GFCI test is not enabled
2. Manual GFCI test is enabled but automatic GFCI test is not enabled
3. Both manual and automatic GFCI tests are enabled. The automatic test will happen within 7 days of the spa being
installed and if successful will not repeat. (If the automatic test fails it will repeat after the spa is restarted.)
GFCI Test will not appear on the screen if it is not enabled. This screen allows the GFCI to be tested manually from the
panel and can be used to reset the automatic test feature. (See Page 24)
