Spa Heating Modes

The 

Heating Mode

 offers the ability to control your heater in special circumstances.  Your spa is preset at the factory to 

Standard Mode

.  However,

the 

Heating Mode

 can be changed to 

Economy 

or 

Sleep

 by pressing the  

 button at any time.  With each press of the button, the display will

cycle through the three different modes described below:

1. Standard Mode

 ( 

ST

 ): Your spa is preset to this mode.  This mode operates the heater whenever needed to maintain the programmed spa

water temperature. (See 

Temperature Adjustment

).

2. Economy Mode

 (

EC

): This mode operates the heater only during programmed 

Heating Cycles

 (See “Setting Heating Cycles” below).   This

mode is ideal for areas that charge a premium for electricity during peak hours.  This mode will maintain the thermostat

setting.  If it does not reach the thermostat setting, you may have to allow for more heating time by increasing the

Heating Cycles

.

3. Sleep Mode

 (

SL

):

This mode works in the same manner as the 

Economy Mode

 except the thermostat setting is automatically lowered by

20 degrees. This mode is best suited for extended leaves from home when it is not important to maintain constant water

temperature, such as vacations or business trips.

Setting Heater Cycles

These settings are not needed and have no affect when the spa is in Standard Mode.  However, if you decide to use either the 

Economy

 or 

Sleep

Modes

, you may program your heater to operate two times per day, 12 hours apart for durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 (

FC

) hours.  Note: setting the spa

to the 

FC

 level will allow the heater to operate 24 hours per day, as needed. The first period will begin upon initial power-up of the spa. The second

period will begin 12 hours later.  The default setting is 4 hours.  To change this setting press either 

, then press 

  to program. Press

 to adjust.  Press 

 to exit programming.

For example: With a 4 hour Heater Cycle setting, if your initial power-up of the spa is at 10:00 am, the heater will operate from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM,

then later that day from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM.  This same schedule will repeat everyday unless you change either the length of time (

Heater Cycle

)

or if you change the 

Heating Mode

 back to 

Standard Mode

.

Summer Set Temperature

In hot weather, it is possible for water temperature to exceed the temperature setting.  This is especially common when your temperature setting is

lower than air temperature.  If the water temperature exceeds the temperature setting more than 3

°

, an automatic safety circuit will turn off all of the

electrical systems including 24 hour circulation pump. The systems will remain off until either the water temperature cools to below the setting, or

the setting is increased above the water temperature.

Spa Water Filtering

The spa water is constantly maintained by a 24 hour circulation pump and a programmed purge cycle that clears the plumbing lines every 12 hours

from the moment that the spa is energized.
