The Spa Screen
All Equipment Access
The Spa Screen shows all available equipment* to control. The display shows icons that are related to the equipment
installed on a particular spa model, so this screen may change depending on the installation.
The icon buttons are used to select and control individual devices.
Some devices, like pumps, may have more than one ON state, so the icon will change to reflect the state of the
equipment. Below are some examples of 2-speed Pump indicators.
Jets HighJets LowJets O
If the Spa has a Circ Pump, a Circ Pump Icon will appear to indicate its activity, but outside of Priming Mode,
the Circ Pump cannot be controlled directly.
*One exception: The Main Spa Light is not shown on the Spa Screen; it is only shown (and controlled) on the Main Screen.

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.
