Temp Set (80°F - 104°F / 26.0°C - 40.0°C)

The last measured temperature is constantly displayed
on the LCD. Your spa’s set temperature range may
vary from range shown above depending on your
manufacturer’s settings.

Note that the last measured spa temperature displayed is
current only when the pump has been running for at least
1 minute.

Warm/Cool

Press the “Warm” or “Cool” button once to display the
set temperature. Each time either button is pressed again,
the set temperature will increase or decrease depending
on which button is pressed. After three seconds,
the LCD will automatically display the last measured
spa temperature.

Mode/Prog

This button is used to switch between Standard,
Economy, and Sleep modes. Press “Mode/Prog” to enter
mode programming, press “Cool” to cycle through to
desired mode (LCD flashes until confirmed), then press
“Mode/Prog” to confirm selection.

Standard mode maintains the desired temperature. Note
that the last measured spa temperature displayed is
current only when the pump has been running for at
least 1 minute. The “

” icon will display until the

mode is changed.

Economy mode heats the spa to set temperature only
during filter cycles. The “

” icon will display

until mode is changed.

Pressing “Jets 1” while in Economy mode puts the
spa in

Standard-In-Economy mode, which operates

the same as Standard Mode, then reverts to Economy
Mode automatically after 1 hour. Both the “

”

and “

” icons display in this mode. During this

time, a press of the “Mode/Prog” button will revert to
Economy Mode immediately.

Sleep mode heats the spa to within 20°F (11°C) of the set
temperature only during filter cycles. The “

” icon

will display until mode is changed.

Standby Mode

Pressing “Warm” or “Cool” then “Jets 2” will turn off all
spa functions temporarily. This is helpful when changing
a filter. Pressing any button resets the spa. On some
systems the “Jets 1” button will control the pump in
Standby Mode (“Drain Mode”). In this case, press any
other button to exit. System will revert to previous mode
after 1 hour.

Jets 1

Press the “Jets 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off,
and to shift between low and high speeds if equipped.
If left running, the pump will turn off after a timeout
period. The pump 1 low speed timeout on some systems
may be as long as 4 hours.

On non-circ systems, the low speed of pump 1 runs
when the blower or any other pump is on. It may also
activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect
the spa temperature (polling) and then to heat to the
set temperature if needed, depending upon mode.
When the low speed turns on automatically, it cannot
be deactivated from the panel; however, the high speed
may be started.

Time

When time hasn’t been programmed, the “

” icon

flashes. To set the time, press “Time” then “Mode/Prog.”
Use the “Warm” and “Cool” buttons to adjust time. See
previous page for more detailed instructions. (Time
settings on EL1000 and some EL2000 systems are not
preserved in the event of power loss; time will have to be
reprogrammed upon each power up.)

If your spa has an optional pH/ORP sensor (not
available on EL1000 and some EL2000 systems), pressing
“Time” twice will display the current pH level; pressing
it three times will display the current ORP.
