10.0 Automatic Filtration Cycles
Your new spa includes a 24-hour circulation pump which filters the water continuously while using less energy than a common 100 watt light bulb! The circulation pump draws water through the skimmer bag and one of two filter cartridges to effectively remove small debris in your spa. Note: the 24- hour circulation pump system also supplies heated water to the spa when the heater turns on. This features cannot be altered or disabled.
The control system activates a programmable “standard” or “economy” skimming/heating cycle to remove larger debris missed by the 24-hour cir- culation pump filtration system. These cycles utilize pump#1 and the larger filter cartridge end to quickly clear “skim” the water of large debris and minimize their “bath-tub ring” effect. Apart from their skimming benefit, each mode also effects the operation of your spa’s heater. Refer to sec- tions 10.1 and 10.2 below for additional information.
10.1Standard Skimming/Heating Modes (F0 - F3)
Standard skimming/heating modes are typically selected by customers in cold climates where heatup times are extended due to lower ambient temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the set temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater which turns on as needed. After the programmed set temperature is reached, the heater turns off and the circulation pump continues to operate 24-hours to filter and clean your spa.
10.2Economy Skimming/Heating Modes (F4 - F6)
Economy skimming/heating modes are typically selected by customers in warm climates where heatup times are minimized due to higher ambient temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the set temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater only while a pro- grammed filter cycle is running (unless in summer logic; see section 13.1, page 36). Note: these modes consume far less energy than standard modes F0-F3 outlined above.
10.3 Lock Modes (L1 - L2)
These modes are designed for use during spa service or to prevent unau- thorized use.
