8.3 

Jets and Air Control Valves 

The air to the jets is turned on by twisting the air jet control valve knob.  Be sure to turn air off when not 
in use.  Air will cool the water faster, so to avoid excessive energy use, turn the jet air only on when the 
jets are being used for massaging. 

 

8.4 

Pump Hi-Lo Control 

The pump has a high and a low speed.  This is adjusted by pressing the “Jets” button on the digital panel.  
When the tub is not in use the pump should remain in low speed.  Digital Spa Packs can be set to a “filtra-
tion” time cycle.  If such a cycle is set, the pump will not stay running in low speed when outside the 
“filtration period”.  If a tub is not controlled by a spa pack, such as is the case for Cottage systems, and 
instead a pneumatic air switch is used to change the pump speed, then it is mandatory to keep the pump 
running 24 hrs, during freezing temperatures. 

 

8.5 

Light On-Off Control 

The light(s) are operated on 12VAC and are transformer isolated.  This prevents the possibility of electro-
cution.  The lights are turned off and on by depressing the air-button or the button on the digital panel 
labeled “Light”. Bulbs (12Volt, 12 Watt) are accessible from the rear of the fixture.  A twisting motion is 
required to remove the socket to replace the bulb.  If you have purchased the 22-bulb LED light, it is con-
nected by the same light socket that holds the regular 12-volt bulb. 

 

8.6    Hi Temperature Reset 

If heater high temperature trip engages, determine the source and after correcting the problem, follow the 
reset procedure described with the Digital Spa Pack manual
