THE SETTINGS SCREEN
PROGRAMMING, ETC.
The Settings Screen is where all programming and other spa behaviors
are controlled. This screen has several features that can be acted on
directly. These features may include Temp Range, Heat Mode, Hold,
and Invert Panel. When one of these items is selected, it will toggle be-
tween two settings. All other menu items (with an arrow pointing to the
right) go to another level in the menu.
DUAL TEMPERATURE RANGES (HIGH VS. LOW)
This system incorporates two temperature range settings with
independent set temperatures. The specific range can be selected on
the Settings screen and is visible on the Main Screen in the upper right
corner of the display. These ranges can be used for various reasons,
with a common use being a “ready to use” setting vs. a “vacation” set-
ting. Each range maintains its own set temperature as programmed by
the user. This way, when a range is chosen, the spa will heat to the set
temperature associated with that range.
High Range can be set between 80°F and 104°F.
Low Range can be set between 50°F and 99°F.
More specific Temp Ranges may be determined by the
Manufacturer. Freeze Protection is active in either range.
HEAT MODE – READY VS. REST
In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the
heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “heater
pump.” The heater pump can be either a 2-speed pump (Pump 1) or a
circulation pump. If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode
will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to main-
tain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the tem-
perature display. This is known as “polling.” Rest Mode will only allow
heating during programmed filter cycles. Since polling does not occur,
the temperature display may not show a current temperature until the
heater pump has been running for a minute or two. When the heater
pump has come on automatically (for example for heating) you can
switch between low speed and high speed but you cannot turn the
heater pump off.

CIRCULATION MODE
If the spa is configured for 24HR circulation, the heater pump generally
runs continuously. Since the heater pump is always running, the spa will
maintain set temperature and heat as needed in Ready Mode, without
polling. In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set temperature during
programmed filter times, even though the water is being filtered con-
stantly when in 24HR circulation mode.
READY-IN-REST MODE
Ready in Rest Mode appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode
and the Jets 1 Button is pressed. When the heater pump has come on
automatically (for example for heating) you can switch between low
speed and high speed but you cannot turn the heater pump off. After 1
hour, the System will revert to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset
by entering the Settings Menu and selecting the Heat Mode line.
FILL IT UP!
PREPARATION AND FILLING
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and
jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible
to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling
process. After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side
panel will display a splash screen or startup screen.
PRIMING MODE – M019*
After the initial start-up sequence, the control will enter Priming Mode and
display a Priming Mode screen. Only pump icons appear on the priming
mode screen. During the priming mode, the heater is disabled to allow
the priming process to be completed without the possibility of energizing
the heater under low-flow or no-flow conditions. Nothing comes on auto-
matically, but the pump(s) can be energized by selecting the “Jet” but-
tons. If the spa has a Circ Pump, it can be turned on and off by pressing
the “Circ Pump” button during Priming Mode.
