SPA-SIDE CONTROL OPERATION

Your spa-side control system consists of an LED Display and conve-
nient touch pads that allow you to set the water temperature and
adjust the skim/filter cycle settings, as well as control the hydrothera-
py jets and mood light from spa side.

LED DISPLAY

The LED display on your spa’s control panel continually shows
the spa’s actual water temperature. In certain situations, it will
also display other messages - see LED MESSAGES on page
12.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

When initially powered, your spa is automatically set to achieve a
water temperature of 100

0

F. To view the set temperature, press the  

touch pad once. The set temperature will be displayed for

four seconds. To adjust the set temperature, press the
touch pad again while the set temperature is displayed. This will
increase or decrease the set temperature, depending on which
direction was last chosen. Each successive press will change the
set temperature by one degree in the same direction.

If you want to adjust the temperature in the opposite direction, wait
four seconds to allow the display to revert to the actual water temper-
ature. Press the touch pad to display the set temperature again, then
again to adjust in the desired direction.

Minimum temperature setting is 80

0

F, maximum is 104

0

F.

LIGHT AND PUMP CONTROL

Pressing the          touch pad sequences the light and pump
through various combinations as follows:

Pump

Light

1st Press: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .On
2nd Press:  . . . . . . . . . . .Low Speed . . . . . . . . . . . . . .On
3rd Press:  . . . . . . . . . . .High Speed  . . . . . . . . . . . . .On

5th Press: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Off*  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Off

*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             touch pad.

* The pump automatically turns off after operating for 15 minutes.

* The light automatically turns off after 4 hours.

FILTER CYCLES

Your spa will automatically turn on to filter the water twice each
day. The first filter cycle begins immediately after the power is ini-
tially supplied to the spa. The second filter cycle begins twelve
hours after the start of the first cycle. Each filter cycle is two hours
in duration. During filtration, the pump’s low speed runs continu-
ously.

If you want to change the filter cycles’ start times, turn the power
to the spa off and back on at the time of day you want the first
cycle to begin.

ECONOMY/STANDARD OPERATING MODE

When you turn on electrical power to your spa, it will automatical-
ly run in the “STANDARD” operating mode. This means that the
heater and the pump’s low speed will turn on as needed to reach
and maintain the set temperature--the same way your refrigerator
does.

If you prefer, you may set your spa for the “ECONOMY” operating
mode. In this mode, the spa will heat only during filter cycles and,
if connected to 240V, when you manually turn the pump on--it will
not turn on to maintain heat between filter cycles.

To change to “ECONOMY” mode, simply press the “SET” button
then, while the set temperature is displayed, press the
“LIGHT/JETS” button. “EC” will flash alternately with the tempera-
ture to let you know your spa is now set for the “ECONOMY” oper-
ating mode. Repeat this process to return to “STANDARD” mode.

AIR CONTROL

The Air Control on the rim of your spa allows you to change the
power of the jets by regulating the amount of air that is mixed
with the water coming out of the jets.

HYDRO JETS

Magna Jets - The larger jets in your spa allow you to re-direct the jet
stream by changing the position of the nozzle.

You can also regulate the force of the massage by  rotating the fas-
cia ring clockwise to reduce the force or counter-clockwise to
increase the force. Notice that turning off the flow to some jets
increases the flow to the other jets. To avoid damage to your spa’s
plumbing and components, do not turn off more than half of
these jets at the same time.

MagnaSsage rotating nozzles and dual-port nozzles are available
from your Caldera dealer, to replace the directionally adjustable noz-
zles in the Magna Jets.

Euro Jets - The small euro jets deliver a direct, precision massage.
You may purchase “Euro-Pulse” assemblies from your Caldera deal-
er that twist onto the Euro jets to provide a pulsating, rotary massage.
