! DANGER To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove suction fittings. Spa location must accommodate sufficient drainage of water around the base of the structure, as well as the power source compartment.
Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result in a dangerous condition known as HYPERTHERMIA. The causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6BF. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa, (4) physical inability to exit spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, (6) unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. WARNING The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
A spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the terminal box . Refer to NEC and local codes ! ! in effect at the time of installation.)
A bonding lug is provided on the control box to permit connection of a solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements.

Operation Considerations

The following describes situations you may encounter and situations to be aware of.
WARM WEATHER CONDITIONS
Since your spa will normally be expected to maintain warm to hot water ready for use, a great deal of attention has been directed to the energy conservation detail of insulation to keep electrical cost down.
Energy conservation efficiency may be achieved by extensive insulation of the spa cabinet, plumbing, spa shell and in some climates full foam insulation may have been provided. This energy conservation feature may cause an inconvenience during warmer times of the year. During warm periods of the year, the temperature within the equipment compartment can elevate to a point that the pump will automatically turn off for a short amount of time (15-30 minutes) to allow the pump to cool down before automatically restarting. This cool down feature will not harm your spa, but serves only to protect the pump from damage ad as and indicator that it is too hot. To minimize this occurrence, refrain from using your Hydrotherapy Jets for prolonged periods of time during warm seasons. The jet pump chosen for your spa has been specifically sized for maximum performance and your Hydrotherapy enjoyment.
Filtration System
Please refer to your Spa Manufactures Owner’s Manual regarding the operation, maintenance and cleaning of your filtration system.
IMPORTANT – Heater pump must provide a minimum flow of 23 GPM through heater.
Winterizing
When freezing weather and/or power losses are expected, contact your local spa dealer for freeze protection or winterizing recommendations for both the spa and the equipment system. Freeze related damage is not covered by the warranty.
Chemical Water Treatment
Your dealer is familiar with local water conditions and which chemicals are compatible with and designed specifically for your spa. This is the best person to advise you on proper water quality management. The one thing you can do to insure years of trouble free equipment operations is to maintain proper water chemistry.
Two basic goals of the chemical water treatment are sanitizing and balancing the water. Sanitizing simply means keeping the water free from microorganisms including algae, bacteria and viruses. The current most popular chemicals for sanitizing include chlorine, bromine and ozone. Balancing water means establishing a balance among pH, total alkalinity and total hardness. Water that is unbalanced can corrode the spa and it’s support equipment or leave deposits of minerals. Properly balanced water is essential to allow the sanitizing chemical to work effectively. There are numerous chemical additives to help you in controlling pH, total hardness and alkalinity. Never use softened water when filling you spa. Softened water is extremely corrosive to the metal parts of the spa equipment and may lead to an unforeseen failure. Sometimes, despite your most diligent efforts, your water may become to far out of balance to be managed chemically. At this point it is probably better to drain and clean the spa and start over with fresh water. Equipment failure caused be improper water chemistry will not be covered under warranty. Saltwater purification systems can potentially damage your equipment. Any related failures will not be covered under warranty.

System Start-Up

Preparation and Filling
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process.
After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel display will go through specific sequences. These sequences are normal and display a variety of information regarding the configuration of the hot tub control.
Priming Mode
This mode will last for 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit the priming mode after the pump(s) have primed.
Regardless of whether the priming mode ends automatically or you manually exit the priming mode, the system will automatically return to normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode. During the priming mode, the heater is disabled to allow the
priming process to be completed without the possibility of energizing the heater under low-flow or no-flow conditions. Nothing comes on automatically, but the pump(s) can be energized by pushing the “Jet” buttons. If the spa has a Circ Pump, it can be activated by pressing the “Light” button during Priming Mode.
Priming the Pumps
As soon as the priming mode has started, push the “Jet” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then again to switch to high-speed. Also, push the Pump 2 or “Aux” button, if you have a 2nd pump, to turn it on. The pumps will now be running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps have not primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the pumps and repeat the process.
Note: Turning the power off and back on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Sometimes momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than 5 times. If the pump(s) will not prime, shut off the power to the spa and call for service.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5 minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition.
Exiting Priming Mode
You can manually exit Priming Mode by pressing a “Temp” button (Up or Down). Note that if you do not manually exit the priming mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically terminated after 4-5 minutes. Be sure that the pump(s) have been primed by this time.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will momentarily display the set temperature but the display will not show the temperature yet, as shown below. This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it.

System Functions / Features

Spaside Control
Pump 1 Key: Pressing this key when the pump is OFF will turn it ON to Low Speed, a second press switches the pump to High speed, a third press turns the pump OFF. If the pump is ON from manual activation, the pump low speed will time out after 30 minutes and the high speed will time out after 15 minutes. If the pump cannot be turned OFF a filter cycle is active.
Pump 2 Key: Press this key to turn Pump 2 ON and OFF. An automatic timer will turn the pump off after 15 minutes of operation. Jet 2 indicator will illuminate when it is active.

Blower / AUX Key: Press this key to turn the blower ON and OFF. An automatic timer will turn the blower off after 15 minutes of operation.

Light Key: Press this key to turn the light ON and OFF. An automatic timer will turn the light off after 4 hours of operation. The Light indicator will illuminate when it is active.

Temperature Set Keys: Press the “Cool/Down” button or “Warm/Up” button to display the current set water temperature. Pressing either button while the set temperature is displayed will increase or decrease the set temperature by 1°F. The temperature is adjustable between 80°F – 104°F / 26°C – 40°C or 50°F – 99°F / 10°C – 37°C. See Dual Temp Range page 19
Filtration and Ozone**
On non-circ systems, Pump 1 low and the ozone generator will run during filtration. On circ systems, the ozone will run with the circ pump.
The system is factory-programmed with one filter cycle that will run in the evening (assuming the time-of day is properly set) when energy rates are often lower. The filter time and duration are programmable. A second filter cycle can be enabled as needed.
At the start of each filter cycle, the blower (if there is one) or Pump 2 (if there is one) will run briefly to purge its plumbing to maintain good water quality.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature (44°F), then the pump(s) and blower automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The pump(s) and blower will run either continuously or periodically depending on conditions.
See provided Spaside Control Operation Guide for programming procedures.
Dual Temperature Ranges**
This system incorporates two temperature range settings with independent set temperatures. The High Range designated in the display by an “up” arrow or “High Range”, and the Low Range designated in the display by a “down” arrow or “Low Range”.
These ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common use being a “ready to use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting. The Ranges are chosen using the menu structure. Each range maintains its own set temperature as programmed by the user. This way, when a range is chosen, the spa will heat to the set temperature associated with that range.  High Range may be set between 80°F and 104°FLow Range may be set between 50°F and 99°F Freeze Protection is active in either range
Mode – Ready and Rest**
In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. The pump that performs this function is know as the “heater pump.”
READY MODE – Will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display. This is known as “polling.” “Ready” will be displayed.
REST MODE – Will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. The temperature display may not show a current temperature until the heater pump had been running for a minute or two. “REST” will be displayed.
READY-IN-REST MODE – Appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and Jet 1 is pressed. It is assumed that the spa is being used and will heat to set temperature. While Pump 1 High can be turned ON and OFF, Pump 1 Low will run until set temperature is reached, or 1 hour has passed. After 1 hour, the system will revert to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset by entering the Mode Menu and changing the Mode.
Time of Day**
Setting the time-of-day can be important in determining filtration times and other background features.
NOTE:
If power is interrupted to the system, Time-of-Day is not stored. The system will still operate and all other user settings will be stored. If filtered cycles are required to run at a particular time of day, resetting the clock will return the filter times to the actual programmed periods.
See provided Spaside Control Operation Guide for programming procedures.
System Plug Pinouts

Testing / Replacing the Sensor Set

IMPORTANT: For the following set of instruction, the power must be off when plugging in or unplugging sensors.

1. Check sensor wires for cracks or damage that may indicate the presence of a rodent.
2. Inspect connections of both sensors on the circuit board. The plugs must be clean.
3. If the spaside has the error message of Sa or Sb, this is an indication of a faulty sensor or possibly a faulty circuit board.
4. With the power off to the spa, unplug the two sensors from the circuit board and exchange their positions (i.e., plug the one that was in the “Sen. A jack into the “Sen. B jack and vice versa).
5. Power up the spa, if the error message did not change (i.g. original error message was Sa and still displays Sa) this is an indication of a faulty circuit board. If the error message changed (i.g., original error message was Sa and now displays Sb) replace the sensor in the corresponding plug on the circuit board.
6. When replacing sensors, please keep in mind that the heater assembly will contain water pressure even with the spa’s power off. Close available slice valves and proceed with caution not to allow water on the surrounding electronics.
