Swim Spa

MODE - REST AND READY

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 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
maintain a constant water temperature, 
heat as needed, and refresh the temperature 
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.

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 
constantly when in Circulation Mode.

Ready-in-Rest Mode

READY/REST appears in the display if the 
spa is in Rest Mode and Jet 1 is pressed. It is 
assumed the spa is being used and will heat 
to set temperature. While Pump 1 High can 
be turned on and off, Pump 1 Low will run 
until set temperature is reached, or 1 hour has 
passed. After 1 hour, the System will revert 
to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset by 
entering the Mode Menu and changing it.

SHOW & SET TIME-OF-DAY

Setting the time-of-day can be important 
for determining filtration times and other 
background features. From the main menu, 
activate the temperature flashing. While 
the temperature is flashing, press “Light” 
repeatedly until “TIME” is displayed on the 
screen.  Proceed to set current time using the 
up and down temperature buttons. When 
in the TIME menu, SET TIME will flash on the 
display if no time-of-day is set in the memory. 
24-hour time display can be set under the 
PREF menu.

Note: 

If power is interrupted to the system, 

Time-of-Day is not stored. The system will 
still operate and all other user settings will 
be stored. If filter cycles are required to run 
at a particular time of day, resetting the 
clock will return the filter times to the actual 
programmed periods. When the system starts 
up, it defaults to 12:00 Noon, so another way 
to get filter times back to normal is to start up 
the spa at noon on any given day. SET TIME 
will still flash in the TIME Menu until the time is 
actually set, but since the spa started at noon, 
the filter cycles will run as programmed.

FLIP (INVERT DISPLAY )

From the main screen, activate the 
temperature flashing. While the temperature 
is flashing, press “Light” repeatedly until 
“FLIP” is displayed on the screen. While “FLIP” 
is displayed, press either the up or down 
temperature button to invert the screen. 
Follow the same procedures to flip it back.
