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 Settings Menu and 
changing the Heat Mode.

FILLING YOUR  SPA

PREPARATION AND FILLING

Fill the spa 5-6 inches below top of spa lip. Be 
sure to open all valves and jets in the plumb-
ing 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, 
or startup screen.

PRIMING MODE

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. The system will 
automatically return to normal heating and fil-
tering at the end of the priming mode, which 
lasts 4-5 minutes. During the priming mode, 
the heater is disabled to allow the priming 
process to be completed without the possibil-
ity 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” buttons. Manually exit 
Priming Mode by pressing the “Exit” Button.

PRIMING THE PUMPS

As soon as the Priming Mode screen appears 
on the panel, select the “Jets 1” button once to 
start Pump 1 in low-speed and then again to
switch to high-speed. Also, select the other 
pumps, to turn them on. The pumps should be 
running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If 
the pumps have not primed after 2 minutes, 
and water is not flowing from the jets in the 

spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to 
run. Turn off the pumps and repeat.

Note:

 Turning the power off and back on again 

will initiate a new pump priming session.
Sometimes momentarily turning the pump 
off and on will help it to prime. Do not do 
this more than 5 times. If the pump(s) will not 
prime, shut off the power to the spa and call 
for service.

Important: 

A pump should not be allowed to 

run without priming for more than 2 minutes. 
Under NO circumstances should a pump be 
allowed to run without priming beyond the 
end of the 4-5 minute priming mode. Doing 
so may cause damage to the pump and cause 
the system to energize the heater and go into 
an overheat condition.

EXITING PRIMING MODE

You can manually exit Priming Mode by 
navigating to the “Back” button on the Prim-
ing Mode Screen. If you do not manually exit 
the priming mode, it will terminate after 4-5 
minutes. Once the system has exited Prim-
ing Mode, the top-side panel will display the 
Main Screen, but the display will not show the 
temperature yet because the system requires 
approximately 1 minute of water flowing 
through the heater to determine the water 
temperature.

SPA BEHAVIOR

PUMPS

On the Spa Screen, select a “Jets” button 
once to turn the pump on or off, and to shift 
between low- and high-speeds if equipped. 
If left running, the pump will turn off after a 
time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will 
time out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will 
time-out after 15 minutes. On non-circ sys-
tems, the low-speed of pump 1 runs when the 
blower or any other pump is on. If the spa is in
