4.1 FILTRATION MODES MENU
Set the duration and daily filtration times.
The filtration programmer has two cycles over a 24-hour period,
Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, these cycles have predefined values or are freely accessible
according to the filtration mode chosen.
The filtration programmer has 8 operating modes.
In STOP Mode, filtration timers are set to 00:00 and will remain OFF as long as there is no filtration
cycle or no manual command to start the pump. The filtration will never run in automatic mode.
In TIMER Mode,Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 are set by the user. SPACE will use fixed programmed
timer settings to start and stop the filtration.
Note: It is recommended to keep at least 2x30 minutes of free time (no filtration) per day.
This allows pH measurement, periodic filter cleaning, automatic filling of the pool if installed.
In ECO+ Mode SPACE adjusts the filtration duration based on measured water temperature,
filtration rates, and other factors. This mode allows SPACE to automatically adjust the filtration
duration based on changing seasonal and weather conditions and thus protect water when
temperature is high and save energy if temperature is low.
•Set Cycle 1 as desired. Duration will be taken into account when calculating Cycle 2 duration.
•Set the Cycle 2 Filtration ON time. SPACE calculates and sets the OFF time, with Xindicated.
•The duration is automatically calculated based on the average measured temperatures during
filtration in the last 24-hour period.
Note: ECO+ Mode uses the average water temperature, observed over the day. After a
reset, the default filtration time is about 8 hours, based on an assumed temperature of 20°C.
The first time ECO+ mode is selected, the duration of cycle 2 will be set by default to 8 hours.
After about 10 minutes of operation, an accurate measurement of the pool water temperature
will allow SPACE to assess the adequate filtration time.
An update will be made automatically at 17:00.
VOLUME mode is based on the same model as ECO+ Mode with a noticeable difference:
•In ECO+ Mode, the filtration duration is calculated is made using the pool temperature.
•VOLUME Mode does not take temperature into account, but simply use the turnover rate defined
in the Pool data menu to estimate the filtration time.
In CONTINUOUS mode, Cycle1 and Cycle 2 have the same 11:30 duration time so that the global filtration is 23/24.
The only available setting is the starting time of Cycle1.
In FORCE Mode (24H, 48H or 72H), the filtration will operate 23 hours a day for the selected period and will then
revert back to the previous mode. Forced mode is achieved by temporarily setting Cycle 1 timer value so that, added
to Cycle 2, the filtration duration is 23 hours. No timer settings are available in Forced mode.
In the 24/24 mode, the pump operates continuously, as long as it is primed and the pressure remains ABOVE
Protection Pressure. (pH measurements are done 1x per hour and level measurements every 20min.)
In NO PUMP mode, SPACE does not control the filtration pump, it is supposed to be controlled externally.
Priming and flow control are still monitored.

5.1 AUXILIARIES MENU
Operation Modes of auxiliaries are related to auxiliary names (for those which are free)
Auxiliary timers have one cycle in any 24-hour period.
When quitting the AUXILIARIES menu, SPACE checks the status of the auxiliaries, and switches them ON or OFF as
required to match programmed running times.
Auxiliary ID
The default identification is Free. Each auxiliary can be renamed for ease of use and tracking. The following 15
predefined names are available for auxiliaries:
NOTE:
On "infinity" pools, an auxiliary whose identifier is
"Transfer pump" is considered to be the means of moving the water from the buffer tank to the pool.
The pump controlled by this auxiliary will be set ON automatically during the water level control phases in order to
produce a change on the water level in the buffer tank.
NOTE:
To change the auxiliary ID, use the up arrow to place the cursor in the title area.
Then use the up and down arrows to select the ID text and confirm with SELECT.
NOTE:
Each auxiliary can be renamed on the web application for ease of use and identification via remote interfaces.
The name is unchanged on SPACE.
"Aux" Mode
Manual mode allows manual ON/OFF commands only. No automatic function will apply.
Timer mode allows to define a start time and a stop time.
Pulse mode allows to manage the ON duration. When the Aux is set ON
(manually or automatically) it will revert to OFF after the defined duration.
When auxiliary is set as heating, 3 additional modes are available:
In Filtration mode, the heater can only operate during programmed filtration hours. This is
our recommendation.
In Priority mode, the filtration pump is forced on for priority heating which will
accelerate the increase of water temperature.
In Schedule the operation of the heater is limited within the period defined by its own timers.
Heating will then only be possible within the defined ON/OFF time range and if the filtration
is running.

The table below summarizes the available modes according to the auxiliary’s identifier:
"AUX" Times (Timer mode)
In Timer mode, set fixed duration with ON and OFF times.
Setting any timer to 00:00-00:00 deactivates that timer.
"Aux" Time and Duration (Pulse Mode)
In Pulse mode, define the ON time.
ON time set to 00:00 suppresses automatic pulse generation. Aux must be set ON
manually and will fall back to OFF automatically after pulse duration.
When in Pulse mode, define the duration, up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds.
"Aux" heating temperature (Filtration/Priority/Schedule modes)
Set the desired temperature of water.
The temperature will be maintained ±0.1 °C (±0.18°F) of the set point.
"Aux" Slave
Auxiliaries can be set to run only if:
The pump is primed (SLAVE: PUMP). This is essential for equipment
requiring a water flow, such as a robot, water treatment, etc.
The cover is open (SLAVE: COVER). This function only applies to the pool
light and JetStream.
"Aux" days of the week
Auxiliaries can be set to run only on selected days of the week.
This is ideal for equipment such as pool cleaners and irrigation,
which can be run on specific days of the week.

6.0 Water and treatment:
6.1 Water Level Control
Set water level control parameters.
SPACE can be configured to automatically refill water level.
Installed:
Select this checkbox if a water level sensor is connected. This will allow the measurement and indication of the water
level. This will also allow manual control to fill the pool. Manually controlled filling stops automatically when the water
level is detected HIGH.
Mode:
In Timer mode: Water level control is performed only when the pump is stopped and updated every 15 minutes. The
change of a parameter setting will be considered during the update, within a maximum of 15 minutes after the change.
Automatic Refill or Mode=REFILL:
Check the "automatic refill" box or choose "mode=REFILL" to enable automatic refills.
The water level is checked within 15 minutes after pump is stopped at the end of the filtration cycles, an automatic refill
is activated if the level is LOW.
In 24/24 mode :
The level is checked and controlled every 20 minutes outside of disinfection dosing periods. Water refill can start
immediately but will be interrupted after 30 minutes. If the set water level has not been reached during this time
period, refill will start again in the next 20 minutes. Multiple refill periods can be used to reach the set level. The
adjustable maximum refill time is always in place to protect against leakage.
A water level/refill control will be carried out systematically after every filter backwash (and rinsing).
At the end of a filter backwash, the water level is checked and readjusted (if water refill is possible). To take into
account infinity pools and possible level fluctuations in the buffer tank, water refill can be repeated up to 6 times with a
delay of 20 seconds between each water level measurement. Refills stop as soon as the level stays at its set point.
The frequency of water level reading will be increased after backwashing and repeated several times.
The logic that immediately follows a filter backwash is as follows:
1. Launch water level adjustment
2. If the level is LOW, suction is done via the bottom drain
3. Refills if necessary
4. At the end of refill, the suction valve can be switched back to the surface (skimmer or buffer tank)
5. At the end of the refill wait 20 seconds.
6. Steps 2,3,4,5 can be repeated up to 6 times.
To obtain a good repeatability of the final water level, it is recommended to:
Skimmer pools
Do not place the level sensor in the skimmer but on the water line (because the water level is always a bit dropping
while skimming). You could place the sensor in the cover niche). This way, the level is independent of the state of
filtration (on or off).
Infinity / overflow pools
Leave sufficient space between the target level and the safety-overflow of the buffer tank to accept the excess water
that will flow into the buffer tank when the filtration stops.

19 | Page Instructions for use [short]
SPACE
www.drydenaqua.com
Continuous mode: (not necessary in 24/24 mode)
Normally, water refill stops when the pump starts. The goal is to avoid overfilling the pool due to incorrect detection of
water level due to the movement of water generated by the pump, especially if the sensor is installed inside the
skimmer. In some pools, the refill time is longer than the period during which filtration is not in operation, especially in
summer time. In this case, and if the water level is not affected by the pump, selecting the continuous mode allows you
to keep refilling the pool even if the filtration restarts.
Careful! Check with your installer that this option is appropriate to avoid excessive pool refills, flooding and excessive
water consumption.
Maximum duration:
The maximum duration is a method of limiting the duration of each individual refill.
If water refill is not completed by the end of the maximum time, it is stopped and an alarm is triggered.
This is an indication of a possible leak in the system.
Note :
In 24/24 mode: the system will restart refill at 00:00, and this 3 times in a row, if the alarm is not deleted in the
meantime. Deleting the alarm allows another 3 successive refills attempts.
Automatic level reduction or Mode=REDUCE:
When the level is VERY HIGH, level reduction cycles (up to a maximum of three per day) are automatically controlled to
reduce the water level.
The reduction will be done by cleaning the filter (if the filter cleaning mode is on "Automatic"), but can also be done by
directing the water to the sewer (cleaning mode "Manual" or "Inhibited" in the case where a rinse valve is configured).
The reduction of the level is not immediate and depends on the type of pool declared in the pool data:
•With "classic" pools, the level must be detected VERY HIGH during 15 minutes before the reduction is
activated.
•With "infinity" pools, the detection of the VERY HIGH level causes the filtration to start and to overflow. If,
after 15 minutes, the level remains VERY HIGH, then the reduction is activated.
If the level is HIGH, the filtration continues to work. If the level remains HIGH after 3 hours then the
reduction is activated. At any time, as soon as the level becomes NORMAL or LOW, filtration is stopped or

self-tapping screws, or appropriate adhesive) at the correct
height on the inside of the skimmer or on the waterline.
If the level sensor is fitted in the skimmer, make sure that
the skimmer basket and lid can easily be removed and replaced
without damaging the sensor or cable.
Normal water level must be between WL (HIGH) and WL (LOW).
