Initial Start-up
When first powered up, your spa will perform a self-diagnostic check and then automatically go into priming
mode. The topside will display PR to indicate this. Priming mode will be active for less than five minutes. When
the spa has finished priming, the heater will be activated and the water temperature will be maintained in stan
-
dard mode. The spa will automatically heat to 100°F (37.5°C) at start-up until you change the set temperature
as listed in the “Temperature Adjustment” section below.
These instructions will describe features and options
that your particular spa may not be equipped with.
Temperature Adjustment
80°F - 104°F (26 .0°C - 40 .0°C)
The start-up temperature is set at
100°F (37.5°C). The last measured
temperature is constantly displayed
on the control panel. Note that the last
measured spa temperature is displayed.
The displayed temperature will be updated
when the pump has been running for at least two
minutes.
Press the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons once to display the
set temperature. Each time either button is pressed
again, the set temperature will increase or decrease
depending on which button is pressed. After three
seconds, the control panel will automatically display
the last measured spa temperature.
Time
When time hasn’t been programmed, the “TIME” icon
flashes. To set the time, press the “TIME” button and
then the “MODE/PROG” button. Use the “UP” and
“DOWN” buttons to adjust time. See the next page
for more detailed instructions.

Standard Mode: This is programmed to maintain
the desired temperature. Note that the last measured
spa temperature displayed is current only when the
pump has been running for at least two minutes. The
“STAND” icon will display until the mode is changed.
Economy Mode: Economy mode heats the spa to the
set temperature only during filter cycles. The “ECON”
icon will display until the mode is changed. Pressing
the “JETS 1” button while in economy mode puts the
spa in standard-in-economy mode, which operates the
same as standard mode but reverts back to economy
mode automatically after one hour. During this time,
pressing the “MODE/PROG” button will revert to econ-
omy mode immediately.
Sleep Mode: Sleep mode heats the spa to within
20°F (6.7°C) of the set temperature only during filter
cycles. The “SLEEP” icon will display until the mode is
changed.
Standby Mode: Pressing “Warm” or “Cool” then
“JETS 2” will turn off all spa functions temporarily. This
is helpful when changing a filter. Pressing any button
resets the spa.
Jets 1 and Jets 2
Press the “JETS 1” button once to turn pump 1 on
or off and to shift between low and high speeds if
equipped. If left running, the low speed turns off af-
ter two hours and the high speed turns off after 15
minutes. On non-circulation systems, the low speed of
pump 1 runs when the blower or any other pump is
on. It may also activate for at least two minutes every
30 minutes to detect the spa temperature and then
to heat to the set temperature if needed, depending
upon the mode. When the low speed turns on au-
tomatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel;
however, the high speed may be started.
