Hot Spot 2014 REL, Owner'S Manual

opeRatIoN NoteS:

1.  your spa is equipped with a ten-minute timer delay on the heating/maintenance mode. Whenever the jet pump has been turned off (and a 

three-degree temperature drop has occurred) or the temperature control has been turned up, it will take ten minutes before the low speed of 

the jet pump and heater become activated. Always push the JETS button to turn off the jet pump when exiting the spa. In the standard 115 

volt, 15 amp electrical configuration, the heating system does not operate simultaneously with the high speed pump. on the 230-volt system, 

the heating system does operate simultaneously with the high speed pump.

2.  The spa controller has an automatic two hour “time-out” feature should the high speed jet mode be left on inadvertently. 

after one hour of 

continuous operation, the controller will automatically return to the maintenance/heating mode.

3.  The spa controller also has a six-hour “time-out” feature should the light be left on inadvertently.

 after six hours of continuous operation, 

the controller will automatically turn the light off.

HEATING ANd HYdROMASSAGE SYSTEMS

The 

Hot Spot

  spas use two-speed jet pumps to operate hydromassage jets and to circulate the spa water through the heating system (the 

tempo

 , 

Relay

 and 

RHytHm

 are also equipped with a single speed jet pump used for jets only). The low speed mode of the pump, which is 

activated automatically by the control thermostat, will cause the spa  water to be drawn slowly in through the filter, the heater, and into the pump. 

The pump, in turn, will push the water back into the spa through the jets. When the JETS button is pushed one time, the spa user can activate 

the low speed of the jet pump. (The heater may or may not be on, depending on whether the control thermostat has indicated a demand for 

heat.) When the 

JetS

 button is pushed a second time, the high speed of the jet pump will be activated. (This will automatically deactivate the 

heater if it is operating in a standard 115 volt 15 or 20 amp system.)
In the 230 volt electrical system, if a drop in the water temperature has occurred, the spa heater will operate simultaneously when the jet pump is 

operating on high speed. In a standard 115 volt 15 or 20 amp electrical system, the spa heater will not operate simultaneously when the jet pump 

is operating on high speed, even if a drop in the water temperature has occurred. In either electrical configuration, when the high speed mode of 

the jet pump is turned off, the spa will enter a ten-minute “tranquil mode.” during this time the heating system (and simultaneous operation of the 

jet pump at low speed) will not operate (unless the JETS button is pushed), even if the water temperature has dropped below the control setting. 

once the ten-minute period has expired, the spa controller will switch to the maintenance mode and the heating system will be automatically activated.
The 

Hot Spot

 spas are equipped with a state-of-the-art heating system. The system uses an exclusive “flow through” No-Fault 

®

  stainless steel 

heater.

HYdroMASSAgE jETS

The larger jets in your spa allow you to re-direct the jet stream by changing the position of the nozzle.
Regulate the force of the massage by rotating the jet face 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.

pReCISIoN

 Jets

pReCISIoN

 jets are small. They are designed to perform a soft, soothing massage on your feet, calf, back and shoulders. The Air control levers 

are used to change the air intensity of a group of 

pReCISIoN

 jets simultaneously.

AIr ConTrol SYSTEM

AIR coNTRoL VALVe: Turning the air control lever to the left position allows for the same volume of air to flow to all individual jets and 

pReCISIoN

 jets simultaneously. The jet faceplate on the larger jets is then used to control the water intensity of each hydromassage jet. 

Note: 

Always turn the air control lever to the right position anytime the spa is not being used. This will help make the spa operate more quietly 

and heat more efficiently when the vinyl cover is in place.

When not in use turn the on/off valve to the oFF position.

The intensity and speed of the
