• During filter cycles or when the thermostat is calling for heat, the pump’s low speed operates automatically and cannot be turned off by
pressing the Temp Plus (+) or Temp Minus (–) touch pad.
• The pump on high speed automatically turns off after operating for one hour. The pump on low speed automatically turns off after operating
for one hour.
• When the jets are active, the JETS LED on the control panel will illuminate.
LIGHT CONTROL
Your Hot Spot
®
spa is equipped with a low-voltage spa light. Press the LIGHT button to turn it on. Press it a second time to turn it off. For your spa
enjoyment, a blue and a red lens cover have been included with the spa’s owner’s packet. The original clear lens is not removable – the red or blue
colored lens can be snapped over the clear lens to create the desired ambiance.
The light automatically turns off after six hours.
When the light is active, the LIGHT LED on the control panel will illuminate.
FILTER CYCLES
Your spa will automatically turn the filter cycle on twice each day. When the spa is first powered up the automatic filter cycle will wait 12 hours
before starting. A six hour filter cycle using the low speed of the jet pump is the programmed default filter cycle time. The filter cycle occurs twice
a day (every 12 hours).
NOTE: The optional FreshWater
®
III ozone system only works during the filter cycles.
To modify the length of the filter cycle:
A.
Press and hold the Light button for approximately five seconds until the display shows “xx” where xx is a number from 0-12. This is the length
of the filter time.
B.
Using the Temp Plus (+) or the Temp Minus (–) button, adjust the value as desired.
C. Pressing the LIGHT button again confirms the setting and starts a cycle immediately.
D. If the LIGHT button is not pressed again, the new filter time is stored, but the cycle is started at the next scheduled time.
The filter cycle will activate the jet pump on low speed for the entire cycle. When activated, the filter cycle LED on the display is turned on. If the
temperature exceeds the set point by three degrees F for more than three hours, the system will cancel the FILTER cycle and the filter LED will
blink for the remaining filter cycle time. Should the temperature cool down to two degrees F below the set point before the end of the cycle, the
cycle will resume for the rest of the time. Should you use the spa during the filter cycle by placing the jet pump on high speed, the FILTER LED will
blink. Once the jet pump has been shut off, a ten minute tranquil mode begins (FILTER LED will be blinking during tranquil mode) before the filter
cycle will resume. The blinking filter LED indicates that the filter cycle timer is still counting, but the cycle has been temporarily interrupted.
NOTE: The interrupted time of a filter cycle is not extended after the filter cycle resumes. Power interruptions of the spa will reset the filter cycle to
the default six hour cycle time and begin 12 hours after spa regains power.
