Temperature Control
The Xcelsior system automatically controls its pump and heater to circulate the water and
maintain it at the desired temperature (see below). You can leave the system to look after the
spa and know it will be at the correct temperature whenever you want to use it.
Adjusting Set Temperature
The Xcelsior pump gives you direct control of the pool temperature from the pool side control
panel. Holding down the Up or Down button will adjust the temperature set point as shown on the
digital readout. There is a slight delay before the buttons operate to reduce the risk of accidental
adjustment. The pool temperature will be maintained very close to the set temperature.
UP Increase the set temperature by 0.5 o C per beep
(Max = 41.5 o C)
Note : Default is 37 o C - recommended range is 35-39 o C.
DOWN Decrease the set temperature by 0.5 o C per beep
(Min = 5.0 o C). Low temperature may be used as winter freeze
protection.
Displaying Actual Temperature Reading
The actual water temperature reading can be checked if
necessary by pressing the Up & Down buttons simultaneously.
Note: The actual water temperature can only be checked
whilst the pump is running and the reading will only be
accurate after a few minutes of running.
Heating Mode Selection
In addition to the temperature setting you can select the preferred heating mode.
1. Demand Heating (displayed as Ht.d). This is the default setting in which the pump and
heater will come on automatically whenever the temperature drops slightly below the set
point.
2. Filtration Only Heating (displayed as Ht.F) .In this mode the pump and heater will come on
automatically no more than once per hour to filter and heat the water. This mode is provided
as an option for those who prefer to limit the natural cycling of the system. To select the
heating mode first press the Jet 1 and Down button simultaneously to display the current
heating mode, then press and hold the Up or Down buttons to change modes.
Press simultaneously to display current heating mode Press up or down button to toggle between heating modes

Pump Operation
Ensure that water level exceeds the level of the pool jets. Activate the pump by pressing Jet 1
on the touchpad. For detailed instructions on use and features of the Xcelsior, please refer to
the user guide included with this instruction.
CAUTION
To operate efficiently and prevent pump damage there must be a free flow of water to and
from the pump. Ensure that any valves are appropriately positioned and there is nothing else
preventing the flow of water through the system.
Avoid foreign objects such as tissues or large amounts of hair entering the pool water as they
may be drawn into the pump causing it to jam.
Self Diagnostics
The Xcelsior pump has extensive diagnostic capabilities. In the event of a problem it will
indicate an error number on the touchpad to show what problem has been detected. The error
numbers and their meanings are explained below. Note: When in an error state the alarm can
be muted or un-muted by pushing the JET2 button.
Error 1 (H20 / CHE)
This indicates that no water is being detected in the pump housing or the water is too pure
e.g. clean rainwater. A push of the pump button will run the pump for 10 seconds to try to push
water through the pump. If successful, normal operation will resume. If unsuccessful, the pump
will stop and Error 1 (H20/CHE) will be indicated on the display again. If water is present but
undetected this normally means that the water is too pure and that normal pool chemicals need
to be added.
With Errors 3-9, spa operation will stop and not continue until the controller is manually reset.
The controller can only be reset by pushing the UP, DOWN and JET 1 buttons simultaneously.
The pump will remain in an error condition even when turned off and on at the mains power.
The controller will only continue normal operation after the UP, DOWN and JET 1 buttons are
pushed simultaneously. The dot lights up when the safety latching electromechanical thermal
cutout has operated (See Error 6). This can be reset when the pump has cooled, by manually
pushing the Down button.
Error 3
This error indicates that one of the buttons in the touch pad is stuck or has been held down for
more than one minute. This may be caused by the pool cover pressing on the touch pad, water
getting into the touch pad or by damage to the touch pad or its cable. Try to reset the spa. If
there is still a problem then contact your spa pool supplier.
Error 5
This error indicates that the digital temperature sensor in the pump has detected a temperature
of 45 C or more when the pump is running. This may not be a problem with the Xcelsior pump.
It may be caused by excessive pump use in hot weather. Turn off the spa and allow time for the
water to cool before pushing the UP, DOWN and JET1 buttons to reset the system. If there is
still a problem then contact your spa pool supplier.
