THE CANADIAN SPA COMPANY OWNERS MANUAL
Preset Filter Cycles
On all systems, the pump and the ozone generator will run during filtration. At the start of each filter cycle, the blower will
run briefly on its highest speed to purge the air channels. The lowest speed of any other pumps and the mister will also run
briefly. On some circ systems, pump 1 may also run for the duration of the filter.
(The following is specific to all systems that are programmed according time)
There are two filter cycles per day. The start/end times of each cycle are programmable. To program, set time as instructed
above, then press “Mode/Prog” to advance to the next setting (or to exit after the last setting). Default filter cycles can vary
from system to system. A common default is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Press “Time” then
“Mode/Prog” to step through the filter settings to see how they are currently set. Each filter cycle automatically operates the
pump for the duration of the filter cycle. The filter 1 “F1” icon will light when filter 1 is running. The filter 2 “F2” icon will light
when filter 2 is running.
(The following is specific to systems that are programmed according to duration rather than time)
The first filter cycle (“day”) begins 6 minutes after the spa is powered up. The second filter cycle (“night”) begins 12 hours
later. Filter duration is programmable for 1-12 hours (“F1-f12”). The default filter duration can vary from system to system. To
program, press “Warm” or “Cool,” then “Jets 1.” Press “Warm” or “Cool” to select the filter duration. Press “Jets 1” to select
the number of filter cycles. The display will show “dn”” (both “day” and “night” cycles); “d” (day cycle only); or “n” (“night”
cycle only). Press “Warm” or “Cool” to adjust, and then press “Jets 1” to exit the programming mode. For continuous filtra-
tion, use “f 12 ” and “dn”.
Note: Some systems are capable of being programmed by time rather than by duration (see Preset Filter Cycles section).
On EL2000 and EL1000 systems with duration programming only, the spa powers up at 12:54, thus the first filter cycles
begins 6 minutes later at 1:00. If you would like your spa to begin filtering at another time, you may change the clock to
align with your preferred filter time, rather than the actual time of day.
Optional Filter Cycle Programming
You are not required to set filter cycles; however, it is an option available to you. To change the filter cycle settings:
Press “Time” “Mode/Prog” “Mode/Prog” “Mode/Prog” within 3 seconds. You will see the “set filter 1” and a flashing “START
TIME” icon appear on the display.
Press “Up” or “Down” to choose the filter start time hour. Enter the hour by pressing “Mode/Prog”. Press “Up” or “Down” to
choose the filter start time minutes. Each press changes the start time by 5 minutes.
Enter the minutes by pressing “Mode/Prog.”
Press “Mode/Prog” to see “set filter 1” and a flashing “END TIME” icon. Adjust the time as done above.
Press “Mode/Prog” to see the “SET FILTER 2” (PM cycle) and a flashing “START TIME” icon. Proceed as above.
Press “Mode/Prog” to see “SET FILTER 2” and a flashing “END TIME” icon. Adjust the time as done above.
Pressing “Mode/Prog” will enter the new filter cycle times into the system and display the current water temperature.
Pressing “Time” at any time during this programming sequence will save the values entered up to that point and exit pro-
gramming.
If you would like to select continuous filtration, set the filter 1 start and end times to be the exact same time. In this case, the
filter 2 start time only controls when the second purge happens. Filter 2 end time will be unavailable.
