OPERATION
Temperature Control
Turn on the heater by selecting the HTR/FILTER mode on the SYSTEM selector switch.
With this selection, you can verify that the spa’s heater is operating by viewing the HEATER ON light on the spa side panel.
Set the Temp. Control knob by rotating it to the desired temperature. (The temperature will be higher as the knob is rotated clockwise.) When the water temperature is lower than that set by the heater control, the heater and filter motor/pump will be activated. The heater and filter func- tions will automatically turn off when the desired tempera- ture is reached. When the heater is on, the water is also being filtered. The heater will also maintain water tempera- ture in the JETS mode.
The heater control is designed to maintain a minimum temperature of approximately
Setting the Thermostat
You will notice by the indicator light that the heater is on when the water temperature falls below the desired tem- perature and will turn off when that temperature has been reached.
When the spa is not in use, you can set the thermostat to a lower temperature; then, when you wish to use the spa, adjust the TEMP CONTROL knob to the desired tempera- ture. The water temperature will rise at a rate of about 2°C
per hour with the optional spa cover, foam insulation and skirt panels in place and if the air temperature is 10°C (50°F) or warmer. This rate will necessitate a waiting period before using the spa, the length of which will be determined by the temperature of the water before turning on the heater. For example, if the water in the spa is kept at about 21°C (70°F) when the spa is not in use, and the desired temperature is 38°C (100°F), it will take about 8.5 hours to heat up sufficiently.
Once you have determined the desired setting on the thermostat knob, it is not necessary to change or readjust it again during normal operation unless you decide on a different setting.
The optional spa cover available for your spa will help control heat loss from the water surface and thereby reduce energy consumption. You can improve the spa’s heat retention by keeping the spa cover in place on the spa while heating the water.
Note on Determining Water Temperature:
As spa products generally perform in a narrow range of operating temperatures, we recommend that you use a medical (clinical type) thermometer for an accurate mea- surement of spa water temperature. Other types of ther- mometers, generally available, such as those used for swimming pools, are not sufficiently accurate for determin- ing spa water temperatures. Take water temperature readings in the HTR/FILTER mode when the heater has just turned off; the indicator lamp on the control panel will turn off at this time.
