TEMP
TEMP is an umbrella term that refers to panel buttons that control temperature. For example, TEMP refers to these buttons (B)(E).
E
CDF
TEMP Button(s)
In addition to controlling the Set Temperature, use the TEMP buttons to
initiate actions while changing various settings.
Main Screen
The Main Screen (A) displays the water temperature by default. The water
temperature does not flash. If you press the TEMP button, the water
temperature is replaced by the Set Temperature. The Set Temperature flashes.
Set Temperature
The Set Temperature is programmed by you. If you start at the Main Screen and
press the TEMP button, the Set Temperature will appear, and it will be
flashing. At this point you can do two things: One, you can change the Set
Temperature. Two, you can navigate menus by pressing the LIGHT button. If you
do not press any buttons for a few moments, the Main Screen will appear
automatically.
LIGHT Button
In addition to turning On/Off the spa lights, use the LIGHT button (D) to
navigate menus. Also, when you change settings such as Time-of-Day or Filter
Cycle duration, make sure you press LIGHT to save your settings. If you don’t
press LIGHT, the Main Screen will appear automatically and your setting will
not be saved in most cases.
JETS Button
The JETS button (C) will control a one-speed pump or a two speed pump. It
depends on how your spa is configured.

SET TIME-OF-DAY
Be sure to set the Time-of-Day
Setting the Time-of-Day can be important for determining water filtration
times and other background features.
In this example we will change the Time-of-Day from 8:57 PM to 7:30 PM. Follow
the same sequence to set the Time-of-Day for your spa.
If Time-of-Day has not been set, SET TIME will flash on the display in the
TIME menu.
You can choose a 12-hour or 24-hour time display (See Page 44). CE control
systems default to a 24-hour time display.
NOTE:
This note refers to systems that do not keep track of Time-of-Day when powered
down.
If power is interrupted to such systems, Time-of-Day is not stored. The system
will still operate and all other user settings will be stored. If filter
cycles are required to run at a particular time of day, resetting the clock
will return the filter times to the actual programmed periods.
When such a system starts up, it defaults to 12:00 Noon, so another way to get
filter times back to normal is to start up the spa at noon on any given day.
SET TIME will still flash in the TIME Menu until the time is actually set, but
since the spa started at noon, the filter cycles will run as programmed.

Filter Cycle 2 is optional. It is Off by default on most control systems.
However, you can turn it On if you like.
It is possible to overlap Filter Cycle 1 and Filter Cycle 2, which will
shorten overall filtration by the overlap amount.
Purge Cycles
The heater pump (view page 18) runs for the whole duration of the filter
cycle.
In order to maintain sanitary conditions, secondary Pumps and/or a Blower will
purge water from their respective plumbing by running briefly at the beginning
of each filter cycle.
If Filter Cycle 1 is set for 24 hours, enabling Filter Cycle 2 will initiate a
purge when Filter Cycle 2 is programmed to begin.
On some systems, purge cycles may run several times a day, independent of the
filter cycle.

SPA BEHAVIOR
FILTRATION AND OZONE
CLEAN-UP CYCLE (Optional)
If your spa does not have a circulation pump, pump 1 low and the ozone
generator will run during a filter cycle. If your spa has a circulation pump,
the ozone will run with the circulation pump.
Many control systems are 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 cycle time and duration are programmable
(view page 7). A second filter cycle can be enabled as needed.
On most systems 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.
On some systems, purge cycles may run several times a day, independent of the
filter cycle.
FREEZE PROTECTION
If the temperature sensors within the control system’s heater detect a low
enough temperature, then the pump(s) and the blower automatically activate to
provide freeze protection. The pump(s) and blower will run either continuously
or periodically depending on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may be added to
protect against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard
sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the
temperature thresholds determined by the switch. See your dealer for details.
When a pump or blower is turned on by pressing a button on the panel, a clean-
up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump or blower is turned off or times
out. The pump and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or more,
depending on the control system. On some control systems, you can change this
setting (view page 45).
PUMPS
Press the JETS button once to turn Pump 1 On or Off, and to shift between low-
speed and high-speed if equipped. If left running, Pump 1 will turn off after
a time-out period.
The heater pump will run when the blower or any other pump is on.
If the spa is in Ready Mode (view page 20), Pump 1 low may also activate for
at least 1 minute every once in a while to detect the spa temperature
(polling) and then to heat to the set temperature if needed. When the low-
speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel, however
the high speed may be started.
3 CIRCULATION PUMP MODES
If the spa is equipped with a circulation pump, it will be configured to work
in one of the following three modes:
MODE 1: The circulation pump will operate continuously (24 hours) with the
exception of turning off for 30 minutes at a time when the water temperature
reaches 3°F (1.5°C) above the set temperature (most likely to happen in very
hot climates).
MODE 2: The circulation pump will stay on continuously, regardless of the
water temperature.
Balboa Water Group | Your Single Source Solution
MODE 3: A programmable circulation pump will come on when the control system
is checking the water temperature (polling), during filter cycles, during
freeze conditions, or when another pump is on. Circulation pump modes are
determined by the Manufacturer and cannot be changed in the field.
HOW DOES YOUR CONTROL SYSTEM CHECK THE WATER TEMPERATURE? The control system
(A) activates a pump that circulates water from the spa through the water
heater (B) shown below. The water heater contains two temperature sensors (C).
When water flows around the sensors, the control system calculates the water
temperature. This process is referred to as “polling” in this user guide.
HEATER PUMP The heater pump is any pump dedicated to circulating water through
the water heater. If your spa has a circulation pump, the circulation pump
will serve as the heater pump. If your spa does not have a circulation pump, a
two-speed pump will serve as the heater pump. If the heater pump is a two-
speed pump, anytime it is activated automatically (for any reason, including
to check the water temperature), it will activate at low speed.

HEAT SETTINGS
Keep your spa heated and ready to enjoy, or keep it cool and save energy. Heat
Settings help you do both.
Heat Settings are divided into two groups. 1 – Heat Modes 2 – Temperature
Ranges
Balboa Water Group | Your Single Source Solution
HEAT MODES
There are three Heat Modes
1 – READY MODE Ready Mode usually keeps the water temperature close to the Set
Temperature 24 hours a day. If you use your spa consistently, you probably
want to use Ready Mode.
2 – REST MODE Rest Mode only heats the water during filter cycles. If you do
not use your spa for an extended period of time, you may want to use Rest
Mode.
3 – READY-IN-REST MODE This mode is a subfeature of Rest Mode. When your spa
is in Rest Mode, and you press the JETS button, Rest Mode will automatically
switch to ReadyIn-Rest Mode for one hour. During this hour the control system
will attempt to keep the water temperature close to the Set Temperature.

TEMP RANGES
HIGH RANGE
80° – 104° F
26.6° – 40.0 C
LOW RANGE
50° – 99° F

FILL IT 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 during the filling process. Air may be trapped in the
plumbing after filling the spa. Remove trapped air by priming the pumps.
Priming will be discussed shortly.
After powering On the spa at the main power panel, the spa panel display (view
right) will go through a specific sequence. This sequence is normal and will
display a variety of information regarding the configuration of the control
system. After the sequence ends, the control system will start Priming Mode.
PRIMING MODE
Priming Mode will last for 4-5 minutes, or you can manually exit Priming Mode
after the pump(s) have primed.
Regardless of whether Priming Mode ends automatically or you manually exit
Priming Mode, the control system automatically returns to normal heating and
filtering at the end of Priming Mode. During Priming Mode, the heater is
disabled to allow the priming process to be completed without the possibility
of energizing the heater under low-water-flow or no-water-flow conditions.
Nothing comes on automatically, but the pump(s) can be energized manually with
the panel buttons.
PRIMING THE PUMPS
This panel message (view right) indicates that the spa is in Priming Mode.
Priming Mode lasts 4-5 minutes. Note: Turning the power Off and back On again
will initiate a new pump priming session. If you need more than 4-5 minutes to
prime all of the pumps, cycle power to the spa.
What is priming? Priming removes trapped air from the plumbing. How do you
know when a pump is done priming? Priming is complete when water flows from
the jets without air bubbles. So, watch the jets as you prime the pump. If
your spa has more than one pump, prime each pump one at a time. Why prime one
at a time? If multiple pumps are running, it is too difficult to determine
which pump is circulating air bubbles, or the flow from one pump may hide the
flow from another pump.

Follow these steps to prime a two-speed pump: Press the button for that pump
once to turn it On at low speed. Press the button again to run the pump at
high speed. Run the pump at high speed for 2 minutes. If priming is not
complete after 2 minutes, turn off the pump and repeat the process. Follow
these steps to prime any one-speed pump, including a circulation pump: Press
the button for that pump once to turn it On. Run the pump for 2 minutes. If
priming is not complete after 2 minutes, turn off the pump and repeat the
process. Sometimes momentarily turning the pump Off and On will help it to
prime. Do not do this more than 5 times. If the pump will not prime, shut off
the power to the spa and call for service. Which pump is the heater pump? When
the spa has just entered Priming Mode, press the LIGHT button and see if any
water flows. If so, you have a circulation pump serving as the heater pump. If
not, a two-speed pump serves as the heater pump. A circulation pump is
controlled with the LIGHT button (in Priming Mode only). A two-speed heater
pump is controlled by pressing the JETS button.
The heater pump is the most important pump to prime.
Once the heater pump is primed, prime any additional pumps. The AUX button may
control one of these pumps. 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 in some cases may cause the
system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition.
EXITING PRIMING MODE
Priming Mode ends automatically after for 4-5 minutes. However, you can
manually exit Priming Mode during this time by pressing the TEMP button. When
Priming Mode ends (automatically or manually) the panel will display dashes.
Once the control system cycles water through the heater for one minute, the
dashes will be replaced by the water temperature.

PANEL MESSAGES
Helpful information to help keep your spa running smoothly
This chapter lists all of the Panel Messages and explains each one. Some Panel
Messages have corresponding Message Codes. If so, the Message Code (B) appears
next to the Panel Message (A).
MESSAGE CODES
The easiest way to explain a Message Codes is with a troubleshooting scenario.
For example, what happens if the spa water overheats? The panel will display
this message (A). The control system will capture the following information
and save it in a fault log:
· Time-Of-Day. · Water temperature, Set Temperature. · The number of days that
have passed since the water overheated. · Temperature Range. · Heat Mode. ·
Message Code (B).
The Message Code links the Panel Message to the corresponding Fault Log
information. For example, this Message Code (B) will appear in the
corresponding Fault Log. See how to review the Fault Log on page 55.

PANEL MESSAGES
GENERAL
Message Code *
This message indicates that the spa is in Priming Mode.
Each time the spa is powered up, it will enter Priming Mode. The purpose of
Priming Mode is to allow the user to run each pump and manually verify that
the pumps are primed (air is purged) and water is flowing. This typically
requires observing the output of each pump separately, and is generally not
possible in
normal operation. Priming Mode lasts 4 minutes, but you can exit it earlier by
pressing any Temp button. The heater is not allowed to run during Priming
Mode.
NOTE: If your spa has a circulation pump, you can turn it On by pressing the
LIGHT button during Priming Mode. The circulation pump will run by itself when
Priming Mode is exited.
OR
The water temperature is unknown or out of date.
After the pump has been running for 1 minute, the temperature will be
displayed.
This display may also appear if the pump has not run for more than one hour
while the spa is in Ready Mode.
The water is too cold – freeze protection.
A potential freeze condition has been detected, or the Aux Freeze Switch has
closed, so all pumps and blowers are activated. All pumps and blowers are ON
for at least 4 minutes after the potential freeze condition has ended, or when
the auxiliary freeze switch opens.
In some cases, pumps may turn On and Off and the heater may operate during
Freeze Protection.
This is an operational message, not an error indication.

Message Code
The spa water is too hot. One of the water temperature sensors has detected a
spa water temperature of 110°F (43.3°C), so spa functions are disabled. The
Control System will automatically reset when the spa water temperature is
below 108°F (42.2°C). Extended pump operation or high ambient air temperatures
can cause overheating.
Message Code
J29 Warning. J29 is a connector in the control system. J29 is typically used
as a heater disable input. As such, it should not typically be shorted at
power-up. This message appears if J29 is shorted at power-up. If this message
appears after several power-ups, contact your dealer or service organization.
Water Flow Check List
· Make sure the spa is filled with enough water to allow proper water flow
through all of the spa’s plumbing.
· Closed valves can inhibit proper water flow. · Jets may be equipped with
water valves. If too many water
valves are closed, proper water flow may be inhibited. · Make sure suction
covers are unobstructed and free of debris. · One pump cycles water through
the heater. All plumbing
connected to this pump and the heater must be free from trapped air. Trapped
air can restrict proper water flow. Remove trapped air by priming this pump.

GFCI TEST FEATURE
The GFCI test feature is not available on CE rated control systems.
A GFCI is an important safety device and is required equipment on a hot tub
installation.
Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. (UL rated systems
only.) If your spa has this feature enabled by the manufacturer, the GFCI Trip
Test must occur to allow proper spa function.
Within 1 to 7 days after startup, the spa may trip the GFCI to test it. (The
number of days is factory programmed.) The GFCI must be reset once it has
tripped. After passing the GFCI Trip Test, any subsequent GFCI trips will
indicate a ground fault or other unsafe condition and the power to the spa
must be shut off until a service person can correct the problem.
Forcing the GFCI Trip Test
The installer or spa owner can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur at any time
by following the sequence on the next page.
The GFCI should trip within a few seconds and the spa power should shut down.
If the GFCI does not trip (see next page), shut down the power to the spa.
The installer or service technician should:
· Manually verify that a GFCI breaker is installed and that the circuit and
spa are wired correctly.
· Verify the function of the GFCI with its own test button.
· Restore power to the spa and repeat the GFCI Trip Test.
Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and the spa will operate
normally from that point. You can verify a successful test by following the
sequence on page 54. PASS should appear after a temp button is pressed from
the GFCI screen.
The end user should always be trained to test and reset the GFCI on a regular
basis.
Not all control systems trip the GFCI automatically after a certain number of days. If the control system does not trip the GFCI automatically, the GFCI must be tripped manually.
WARNING:
If freezing conditions exist, a GFCI should be reset immediately or spa damage
could result. If the GFCI does not reset and freezing conditions exist, drain
the spa of all water until the spa is functional again.
