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 sup-
plied with your spa that provides filtration on low speed, the low speed will shut off if the tem-
perature creeps more than 2 degrees above the set point, it will turn back on when tempera-
ture drops to the set point.
Press Heat key and Auxiliary key simultaneously and hold to adjust the filter cycle form the
two hours every 12 hours period.
