Setting Filtration Cycles
Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater. Following the directions listed below will ensure the
most efficient operation:
NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two hours a week.
Keep the spa’s operating temperature 5˚F below the desired usage temperature when not in use. One
•
or two hours before use, set the temperature to the desired temperature.
If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the set temperature should remain at the desired usage
•
temperature.
Allowing the water temperature to lower more than 10˚F below the desired usage temperature and reheating
it prior to usage will cause the heater to operate longer than it normally would maintaining the desired
temperature. Doing this will increase your operating cost and makes your heater work more than necessary.
Your spa is programmed to filter twice a day. The
first cycle will begin 6 minutes after the spa is turned
on and the second cycle 12 hours later. The factory
has programmed the cycle to last for 2 hours but
this can be switched to 4, 6, or 8 hours depending
on your requirements. The default filter time is two
hours.
To set filtration time, turn off the power to the spa
at the time of day you would like one of the filtration
cycles to begin, then turn back on after 30 seconds.
When power has been restored, press either the Up
or Down button then the Jets button. Press either
the Up or Down button again to change the filtering
cycle duration. When desired duration is selected
press the Jets button to exit.
The low speed pump will run for the duration of the
filtering cycle and if an ozone system is installed it
will be activated. During filtering, FC will appear on
the main display.
