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.
Touching the button will turn functions ON and OFF.

THE SETTINGS SCREEN
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 is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode and
will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 in Low,
to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as need-
ed, 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 tem-
perature 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 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.

FILL IT UP!
Preparation and Filling
Fill the spa to its correct operating level, 2/3 up the skimmer. 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.
You can manually exit Priming Mode by pressing the “Back” button on the Priming Mode
Screen. As soon as the Priming Mode screen 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 prim-
ing. 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. Some-
times 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.
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: when water flows from the jets and all air is purged from the system.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will display the Main Screen, but
the display will 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.

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 of 15 minutes on high speed then transition to 5 minutes on low before turning off.
You may manually turn the pump back on.
The low-speed of pump 1 runs when any other pump is on. If the spa is in Ready Mode, 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.
Filtration and Ozone
When Pump 1 is on low speed the ozone generator will run during filtration.
Filter Cycles:
• Filter cycle 1 is set at the factory to run for 1 hour one time per day.
• Filter cycle 2 is set at the factory to run for 1 hour one time per day.
• At the start of each filter cycle, pumps will run briefly to purge the plumbing to maintain
good water quality.
• Adjusting the time of the filtration cycle(s) is a matter of personal preference and usage
patterns. Setting the filtration cycles for late at night can avoid higher electrical rate costs
as an example. If you live in a climate that is seasonally hot, running the filtration cycle at
night can avoid unwanted heat build-up from the pumps and prolong the life of the equip-
ment. If your usage patterns are heavy and you would like additional filtration to occur, you
have the choice of extending the filtration time or changing the second cycle to a different
part of the day.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, 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 condi-
tions that may not be sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts
similarly except the temperature thresholds are determined by the switch. See your dealer for
details.
Clean-up Cycle
When a pump is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the
pump 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.)

TIME-OF-DAY
Be sure to set the Time-of-Day
• Setting the Time-of-Day is important for determining filtration
times and other background features.
• Settings Screen takes you to a screen where you control the
Time-of-Day.
• On the Time-of-Day screen, simply select the Hours and
Minutes. Use the Up and Down Buttons to make changes, then
Save.
• If no Time-of-Day is set in the memory an Information Screen will appear. If you exit it an
Information Icon will appear at the bottom of the Main Screen, until the Time-of-Day has
been set.
Note: If power is interrupted to the system, Time-of-Day will be maintained for several days.
ADJUSTING FILTRATION
Main Filtration
Using the same adjustment as Setting the Time, Filter Cycles are
set using a start time and a duration. Each setting can be adjusted
in 15-minute increments. The panel calculates the end time and
displays it automatically.
The Filter Icon on the Settings Screen takes you to a screen where
you control the Filter Cycles.
Filter Cycle 2
Viewing Filter 1 while Filter 2 is OFF: Viewing Filter 1 while Filter 2 is ON:
• Press “1” to view Filter 1. Press “2” once to view Filter 2. Press “2” again to turn Filter 2 ON
or OFF.
• When Filter Cycle 2 is ON, it can be adjusted in the same manner as Filter Cycle 1.
• It is possible to overlap Filter Cycle 1 and Filter Cycle 2, which will shorten overall filtration by
the overlap amount.
