or counterclockwise to close. To minimize heat loss, all air controls should
be closed when the spa is not in use.
9.8 Optional Audio System (Palermo & Bahia Models Only)

enhanced spa enjoyment. These models include a high-
quality AM/FM/CD stereo receiver with two high-quality

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 short side of the double-
ended filter cartridge and effectively removes 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 dis-
abled.
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.
10.1 Standard 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.
10.2 Economy Skimming/Heating Modes (F4 - F6)
Economy skimming/heating modes are typically selected by customers in
