To change the settemperature, press a temperature button again before the displaystops flashing. Each press of “Warm” or “Cool” will adjust theset temperature.After three seconds, the display will stop flashing and begin todisplay the current spa temperature.Jets 1Press “Jets 1” to turn pump 1 on or off, and to shift between lowand high speeds (if equipped). The low-speed will turn off after4 hours. High-speed will turn off after 15 minutes. Low-speedmay run automatically at times, during which it cannot bedeactivated from the panel, but high-speed may be operated.Jets 2/Jets 3/Blower (If equipped)Press the corresponding button once to turn the device on oroff.

In hot environments, thecirc pump may turn off for 30 minute periods, except duringfilter cycles.For non-24 hour circulation systems, the circ pump and ozonegenerator (if installed) run during filtration (and may also runautomatically at other times).At the beginning of each filter cycle all other equipment willrun briefly to purge the plumbing.The pump responsible for heating and filtration (pump 1 low-speedon non-circ system, or the circ pump on circ systems) will bereferred to simply as the pump.In multi-button sequences, if the buttons are pressed too quickly insequence, they may not register.
