Water temperature
The temperature shown on screen is the current water
temperature. Use the Up and Down buttons to set
the desired temperature.
The set point icon will appear at the top of
the screen. After 3 seconds without any change to
the set temperature value, the keypad will resume
the normal display.
Off Mode
Pressing Pump 1 for 5 seconds will enable the Off mode.
This mode allows you to stop all outputs including
automatic functions such as filter cycle, heat request
and smart winter mode for 30 minutes to perform quick
spa maintenance. When Off mode is active, the display
will toggle between the “OFF” message, the clock and
the water temperature. The spa light will flash for a few
seconds before the end of the 30 minutes to warn you
that the system is about to resume its normal operation.
Press Pump 1 or Pump 2 (if available) to restart the system
before the expiration of the 30 minute delay. When the

Setting the minutes: Use the arrow keys to adjust
the minutes. Press the Light key to jump to the next
parameter, the filter or purge start time (FS).
Programming steps
Programming the filter/ purge cycles
Depending on system configuration your spa will
perform either afilter or apurge cycle. The filter cycle
menu consists of the following parameters: the start time
(FS), the duration (Fd) and the frequency (FF). The purge
cycle menu consists of the following parameters: the start
time (FS) and the frequency (FF).
A filter cycle consists of starting all the pumps and
blower in high speed for 1 minute (purge step) then,
the pump associated with the filter will run in low speed
for the remaining duration of the filter cycle (clean step).
A purge cycle is used when the spa is equipped with a
24 hour circulation pump which provides a continuous
clean step. It consists of starting all the pumps and
blower in high speed for 1 minute.

Smart Winter Mode
Our Smart Winter Mode protects your system from
the cold by turning pumps on several times a day
to prevent water from freezing in pipes.
The “SWM” indicator lights up when freezing is
detected and flashes when the purge is active.
Water temperature regulation
Every 15 to 90 minutes the pump will run to ensure
accurate water temperature readings as well as avoid
heater activation in dry conditions. After verifying pump
activation and taking a water temperature reading if
required, the system automatically turns the heater on to
reach and maintain water temperature at Set Point.
Indicator flashes when taking water
temperature reading.
Cooldown
After heating the spa water to the desired Set Point,
the heater is turned off, but its associated pump
(Pump 1 low-speed or CP) remains on for
a predetermined period of time to ensure adequate
cooling of the heating element, prolonging its useful life.
* Note that the parameters for the economy mode settings are associated to specific low level configuration of the system that are not
present in all software revisions.
