EL/GL SERIES (Mach 3) CONTROL WITH ML900 PANEL
The ML900 panel can be used with the EL8000, EL5000,
EL2000 and EL1000 systems. This user guide lists all
features that are available. Your spa may not respond as
described in this document as specific operation varies
by system and equipment used. If your spa is not fully
equipped, the panel buttons on your spa control may
not be laid out as shown.
The pump responsible for heating and filtration (pump 1
low on non-circ systems, or the circ pump on circ
systems) will be referred to simply as the pump.
Timeouts refer to a preset length of time that a
function is programmed to operate before shutting off
automatically. Certain conditions (filters or freeze) can
cause a function to operate longer, while faults can
cause a function to operate for a shorter length of time.
The system keeps track of timeouts regardless of other
conditions occurring.
In multi-button sequences, if buttons are pressed too
quickly in sequence, they may not register.

Initial Start-up
When your spa is first actuated, it will go into Priming
mode (after displaying some configuration information).
Please see the M-7 Installation Instruction Manual for

then the spa will begin to heat and maintain the water
temperature in the Standard mode. You can exit Priming
mode early by pressing “Warm” or “Cool.”
