Circ Operation

Initial Start-up

When your spa is first actuated, it will go into Priming mode, indicated by “.” Please see the M-7 Installation Instruction Manual for complete instructions on Power-up and Pump Priming. The Priming mode will last for less than 5 minutes (press "Temp" or "Set" to skip Priming Mode) and then the spa will begin to heat the spa and maintain the water temperature in the Standard mode.

Your system has a 24-hour circ pump. The circ pump and the ozone generator run continuously with the exception of shutting off for 30 minutes at a time in hot environments.

Temp/Set (80°F - 104°F / 26°C - 40°C)

The start-up temperature is set at 100F°/37°C. The last measured temperature is constantly displayed on the LCD.

Note that the last measured spa temperature displayed is current only when the circ pump has been running for at least 2 minutes.

To display the set temperature, press the “Temp” or “Set” pad once.

To change the set temperature, press the pad a second time before the LCD stops flashing. Each press of the “Temp” or “Set” pad will continue to either raise or lower the set temperature.

If the opposite direction is desired, release the pad and let the display revert to the current water temperature. Press the pad to display the set temperature, and again to make the temperature change in the desired direction.

After three seconds, the LCD will stop flashing and display the current spa temperature.

Note: If there is not a blower on the system, an alternate panel with separate "Up" and "Down" buttons in place of a "Set" or "Temp" button may be used. Simply press "Up" or "Down" where a "Temp" or "Set" button press is indicated.

Jets

Touch the “Jets” button once to turn pump 1 on or off, and to shift between low and high speeds (if equipped). If left running, the low speed of the pump will automatically turn off after

4 hours, and the high speed will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.

Blower (optional on VS501 or GS501)

This button is used to turn the blower on and off. If left on, the blower automatically turns off after 15 minutes.

Jets 2 (optional on VS501 or GS501)

If your system has a pump 2 installed instead of a blower, it behaves exactly like a blower would.

Light

Press the “Light” button to turn the light on and off. If left on, the light automatically turns off after 4 hours.

Mode

Mode is changed by pressing the “Temp” or “Set” button, then pressing the “Light” button.

Standard Mode is programmed to maintain the desired temperature. Note that the last measured spa temperature displayed is current only when the circ pump has been running for at least 2 minutes. “” will be displayed momentarily when you switch into Standard Mode.

Economy Mode heats the spa to the set temperature only during filter cycles. “” will display solid when temperature is not current, and will alternate with temperature when temperature is current.

Sleep Mode heats the spa to within 20°F/10°C of the set temperature only during filter cycles. “ ” will display solid when temperature is not current, and will alternate with temperature when temperature is current.

Preset Filter Cycles

The first filter cycle begins 6 minutes after the spa is energized. The second filter cycle begins 12 hours later. Filter duration is programmable for 2, 4, 6, 8 hours or for continuous filtration (indicated by “”). The default filter time is 2 hours.

To program, press “Temp” or “Set,” then “Jets.” Press “Temp” or “Set” to adjust. Press “Jets” to exit programming.

At the beginning of each filter cycle the blower purges for 30 seconds; the pump purges for 5 minutes. The only effect filter duration has is: 1) During the filter, the circ pump never turns off, and 2) In Economy and Sleep Modes, heating only occurs during the filter cycle.

Freeze Protection

If the temperature sensors detect a drop to below 44°F/6.7°C within the heater, the pump and blower will automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The equipment stays on until 4 minutes after the sensors detect that the spa temperature has risen to 45°F/7.2°C or higher. In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard sensors. Aux freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the temperature thresholds determined by the switch and without a 4-minute delay in turnoff. See your dealer for details.
