Reminder Messages
GFCI Protection
Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. If
your spa does have this feature enabled, the GFCI Trip Test
must occur to allow proper spa function.
Within 1 to 7 days after startup, the spa will trip the GFCI to
test it. (The number of days is factory programmed.) The GFCI
must be reset once it has been tripped. After passing the
GFCI Trip Test, subsequent GFCI trips will indicate a ground
fault or other unsafe condition requiring the power to the spa
to be shut off.

Warning: The Owner should test and reset the GFCI on a
regular basis to verify its function.

GFCI Test Procedure
The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur sooner
by initiating it with the following button sequence.
Home > Set > > Diagnostics > > GFCI Test > >
GFCI Trip > .
The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the spa
should shut down. If it does not, shut down the power
and manually verify that a GFCI breaker is installed and
that the circuit and spa are wired correctly. Verify the
function of the GFCI with its own test button. Restore
power to the spa and repeat the GFCI Trip Test.
Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and
the Spa will operate normally from that point.
You can verify a successful test by pressing:
Home > Set >
> Diagnostics > > GFCI Test, and
verifying that it says “Passed” on the top line of the GFCI
test screen.
