Congratulations on choosing one of the top of the line Spa Power control systems by Spa-Quip.
The SP800 touch pad features a large display consisting of four numerical digits and two lines of text. The display
typically shows three quantities - Current pool temperature, Set (Target) pool temperature and clock (weekday and
time). By default the current pool temperature is displayed on the numerical digits leaving the clock and set
temperature on the two lines of text. This configuration may be changed by the user if a different layout is preferred.
Whenever a touch pad button is pressed the two lines of text will temporarily describe the newly selected state.
Likewise when the controller is busy performing a task, text will be displayed to explain what is happening (examples
include sleeping, purging pumps and water priming). Each of these messages and the associated function is
described in the following sections.
This controller offers a large range of possible accessories, a user friendly touchpad and superior components. It
makes use of the latest electronics, display and sensor technology to provide you with the most sophisticated
controller in its class.

9 Self-Diagnostic Error Codes
Error 4 (“NO WATER SENSOR”) - No Water Sensor
This error indicates a problem with the optical water sensor in the heater. The problem may be caused by the
sensor being disconnected or by damage to the sensor. Try to reset the spa. If there is still a problem then
contact your spa pool supplier.
Error 3 (“STUCK BUTTON”) - Stuck Button
This error indicates that one or more of the touch pad buttons 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 or by water getting into the
touch pad or by damage to the touch pad itself. Try to reset the spa. If there is still a problem then contact
your spa pool supplier.
When in an error state the alarm can be silenced by pressing the SCROLL button. The alarm will
automatically silence after four minutes.
Error 1 (“PRIME FAILED”) Water Prime Failed
Prime failed is a special case. This is not necessarily a problem with the SP800 itself, but indicates that no
water is being detected in the heater housing. On a push of the DOWN button the main pump will run for 10
seconds to try to get water to the heater. If successful normal operation will resume. If unsuccessful, the
error will be indicated on the display again. Note: When this error occurs you will also be given the option to
run the SP800 in demo mode, this feature is not intended for end users. If you inadvertently enter demo
mode, reset the spa to start over.
With any Error 3-8, spa operation will stop and not continue until the controller is reset. The controller can
only be reset by pushing the Light Level, Light Effect Mode, Pump 1A and SPVSB buttons simultaneously.
The controller will remain in an error condition even when reset at mains power, controller will only continue
normal operation after the Light Level, Light Effect Mode, Pump 1A and SPVSB buttons are pushed
simultaneously (see below).
Errors
The Spa Power 800 controller has extensive self diagnostic capabilities. In the event of a problem it will indicate a
warning or error according to the nature of the problem. The spa will continue operating if a warning is produced but
user intervention or service is required for errors.
