10.0 Automatic Filtration Cycles
Your new spa includes a programmable 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 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. See page 31 for programming details.
The control system activates a programmable “standard” or “economy”
skimming/heating cycles to remove larger debris missed by the 24-hour
circulation pump filtration system. These cycles utilize pump#1 and the
skimmer bag and second filter cartridge 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 sections 10.1 and 10.2 below for additional information.
10.1 Standard Skimming/Heating Mode
Standard skimming/heating mode is typically selected by customers in cold
climates where heatup times are extended due to lower ambient tempera-
tures. In this mode, the water temperature is regulated by the set tempera-
ture, 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
(unless programmed otherwise).
10.2 Economy Skimming/Heating Mode
Economy skimming/heating mode is typically selected by customers in
warm climates where heatup times are minimized due to higher ambient
temperatures. In this mode, the water temperature is regulated by the set
temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater only while a pr
o-
grammed skimming/heating cycle is running (unless in summer logic; see
note below). Note: this mode consumes less energy than the standard
mode outlined above.
10.3 Selecting Standard or Economy Skimming/Heating Mode
Press the MODE button to select either “Standard” or “Economy” skim-
ming/heating mode. The control panel’s indicator on the right side of the
LCD changes to indicate which mode is selected. When an automatic
skimming/heating cycle activates, the LCD screen displays the following
message:
