HydroQuip 9700 Series User manual

9700 SERIES - ERROR MESSAGES
To assist the user in identifying problems with the spa, the system will display error
messages in the lower window. These messages will be helpful when communicating
with your local dealer or qualified technician if a problem should arise.
PRESSURE or FLOW SWITCH ACTIVATED - This error will be displayed
only when the pump is not activated. Cycle the pump through Low & High
speeds then off. If the error does not clear this is an indication that the
pressure or flow switch is activated with no water flow.
Contact your local spa dealer
PRESSURE or FLOW SWITCH NOT ACTIVATED - This error will be
displayed while the is pump running. Cycle the pump through Low & High
speeds. If the error does not clear this is an indication that the pressure or
flow switch has not activated although there is water flow.
Contact your local spa dealer
TEMPERATURE SENSOR MALFUNCTION - This error will occur when a
problem with the temperature sensor exists. This error may also occur if the
system is activated while the water temperature is below 35BF.
Contact your local spa dealer
OVERHEAT or HIGH-LIMIT PROTECTION - There are three(3) stages of
over-temperture:
1 - The spa water has exceeded 112BF. The heater, pump and accessory
will be deactivated until the water cools to 109BF. Be sure to check the
actual water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
2 - The spa water has exceeded 119BF. The heater will deactivate while the
pump and accessory will still operate. The blower (if equipped) can be
activated to help cool the water. WATER MUST BE BELOW 119BF AND
POWER MUST BE RESET TO CLEAR THE “HL” ERROR
A dirty spa filter can also cause a restricted flow of water, be sure the filter
is cleaned regularly and ensure all water shutoff valves are open.
If the system has been operating normally until now, the pump may be
overheating the spa. Refer to “Programing Filtration” on page X and reduce
the duration and/or number of cycles per day.
3 - If you’ve eliminated items 1 & 2 as problems, the high-limit sensor may
have malfunctioned.
Contact your local spa dealer

press will turn the pump off. A built-in timer will shut the pump off after 20 minutes of operation unless done so manually.
The Pump 1 Icon will appear on the LCD while the pump is running in High speed and flash while it is in Low speed. If the
filter icon appears, a filtration cycle has begun and you will not be able to turn the pump off.

Set Point icon will be appear to let you know this is the desired and not the actual temperature. After 5 seconds the display
will return to the current temperature reading. When the temperature drops to 1F below the set temperature, the heater
will be turned on until the temperature is 1F above the set temperature. The heater icon will appear while the heater is on
and flash when there is a call for heat and the heater has not yet been activated.
Programming Parameters: There are several Filtration parameters that may be programmed. Follow these
