Changing Filter Cycles
FILTRATION
Proper filtration is an important key to maintaining the clarity of your spa's water. The filter system is designed for
unsurpassed effectiveness at removing debris and suspensions from the water anytime the water is circulating.
Your control panel is set to filter for two hours every twelve hours. A two speed pump is supplied with your spa that
provides filtration on low speed, the low speed will shut off if the temperature creeps more than 2 degrees above
the set point, it will turn back on when temperature drops to the set point.
The filter cycle begins six (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 of for continuous filtration (indicated by FILC). The default filter time is
2 hours.
To program, press “Temp” then “Jets”. Press “Temp” to adjust. Press “Jets” to exit programming. The default filter
time is 2 hours.
