Under normal conditions, the heater and low speed cycle will run 2-4 times per day for approximately 20 minutes per cycle. If the
ambient temperature falls below 20°F, the heater may not be able to raise the spa water to the desired temperature, and the heater and
low speed cycle will run continuously, resulting in substantially higher operating costs.
IMPORTANT:
The 115 volt electrical system of the Solana
™
spa is not convertible to a 230 volt system. Any modification to the original
equipment will void the spa’s ETL Listing, resulting in an unsafe spa and voiding the spa’s warranty!

The circulation cycle is primarily used when the ambient temperature remains high for extended periods of time. In this scenario, the
heater may not cycle on because the spa water temperature does not cool. If the heater does not cycle on, the low speed jet pump will
not automatically engage. This is very critical when using the FreshWater
Ag+®
silver ion purifier, which relies on circulation to disperse
silver ions throughout the spa. When engaged, the circulation switch will activate the low speed jet pump for a four-hour circulation
cycle. If, during the circulation cycle, a user enters the spa and turns on the high speed jet pump, the circulation cycle will not pause.
When the high speed pump is shut off, the circulation cycle will continue to completion.
The circulation cycle begins when the circulation timer is activated. Thereafter, the circulation cycle will repeat for the same time every
day until the timer is deactivated. The only exception occurs in the event of a power failure. If power is disconnected from the spa
while the circulation timer is activated, the circulation cycle will reset and engage when power is reapplied. Therefore, if you have
activated the timer at 8 am, the low speed jet pump will be activated from 8 am to noon. The cycle will repeat the next day (at 8 am) as
long as the timer remains activated. However, if a power failure occurs at 10 am, and power is reapplied at 10:30 am, the cycle will reset
and the low speed jet pump will activate from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm.
T
O ACTIVATE THE CIRCULATION TIMER
:
1. Determine the time of day at which you would like the pump to activate the circulation cycle. It is best to choose the cooler hours of
the day, such as morning or evening.
2. Locate the Light button, the Temp Plus (+) and the Temp Minus (-) buttons on the control panel.
3. To turn the circulation cycle on, press and hold the Light button for three seconds. The display will then read “OFF.” Press the
Temp Plus (+) button within three seconds. The display will read “ON” and the circulation cycle LED will illuminate. Finally, press
the Light button again within three seconds to confirm activation of the circulation cycle.
4. To turn the circulation cycle off, press and hold the Light button for three seconds. The display will then read “ON.” Press the Temp
Minus (-) button within three seconds. The display will read “OFF” and the circulation cycle LED will go dark. Finally, press the
