EL/GL SERIES (Mach 3) CONTROL WITH ML700 PANEL
The ML700 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. Functions not accessible by this
panel may be accessible by a larger panel such as the
ML900. Example: The ML700 panel can be used with all
EL8000 systems equipped with three pumps, but pump 3
cannot be controlled with this panel unless the system
does not have a blower and an additional Jets button is
added to the panel in its place. In other cases, pump 3
can be controlled with an optional auxiliary panel. 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
complete instructions on Power-up and Pump Priming. The Priming mode will last for up to 4 minutes and
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.”
