The Settings Screen
Programming, etc.
The Sengs Screen is where all programming and other spa behaviors are
controlled. Each icon on the Sengs screen takes you to a dierent screen,
where one or more seng may be viewed and/or edited.
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.
Dual Temperature Ranges
High vs. Low
The Heat Icon takes you to a screen where you control
the Heat Mode and the Temperature Range.

The Settings Screen
Heat Mode
Ready vs. Rest | Circulaon Mode | Ready-in-Rest Mode
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 temper-
ature 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
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 temper-
ature during programmed filter times, even though
the water is being filtered constantly when in 24HR
circulation mode.
Heat Mode – Ready vs. Rest
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 ex-
ample 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.
Fill it up!
Preparation & 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 complet-
ed 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.

The Settings Screen
Priming the Pumps
Exiting Priming Mode
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.
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 heat-
er to determine the water temperature and display it.

Spa Behavior
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 genera-
tor 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 prop-
erly set) when energy rates are often lower. The filter time
and duration are programmable. 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 protec-
tion 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 gen-
erator will run for 30 minutes or more, depending on the
system. On some systems, you can change this setting.

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 documenta-
tion 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 be-
ginning 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 ex-
cept for shutting off when the water temperature is 3˚F/1.3˚C
above the set temperature, that shutoff does not occur dur-
ing filter cycles.
Light Cycle Option
If Light Cycle does not appear on the Settings Screen, the
Light Timer feature is not enabled by the manufacturer. The
Light Cycle Icon on the Settings Screen takes you to a screen
where you control the Light Cycle. When available, the Light
Timer is (“Disabled“) by default. Press “Disabled“ to change it
to “Enabled“ (ON). The settings can be edited the same way
that Filter Cycles are edited.
Specific Buttons for Specific Devices
If the spa has an Auxiliary Panel(s) installed, pressing buons on
that panel will acvate the device indicated for that buon.
These dedicated buons will operate just like the Spa Screen
buons (see page 6) and the equipment will behave in the same
manner with each buon press.

Hold - M037*
Hold Mode is used to disable the pumps during service func-
tions 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.

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.
