DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING
· Prolonged immersion in the swim spa may cause 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 98.6 °F (37°C). The symptoms of
hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body,
dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia
include:
1. Failure to perceive heat 2. Failure to recognize the need to exit the swim
spa 3. Unawareness of impending hazard 4. Fetal damage in pregnant women 5.
Physical inability to exit the swim spa 6. Unconsciousness resulting in the
danger of drowning
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY
· Do not remove the suction fittings. The suction fitting in this swim spa is
sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need
arise to replace the suction fitting or the pump, be sure that the flow rates
are compatible. Never operate the swim spa if the suction fitting is broken or
missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow
rate marked on the original suction fitting.
DANGER: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING
· Keep hair and body parts away from the suction guard. Do not allow long hair
to float freely in the water; long hair should be restrained with a bathing
cap. To reduce the risk of drowning from hair or body entrapment, install a
suction fitting (s) with a marked flow rate in gallons per minute that equals
or exceeds the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly, if replacement of
suction fittings becomes necessary.
WARNING
· Ground fault circuit interrupter protection (GFCI) or equivelant; RCD, for
the swim spa should be tested prior to each use by the homeowner. With the
swim spa in operation, push the “test” button on the GFCI circuit breaker at
the panel box. The swim spa should shut down immediately. Now reset the GFCI.
The swim spa should return to normal operation. If the GFCI fails to operate
in this manner, there exists a possibility of electrical shock. Approved
testing applies for export protection devices, i.e. RCD.
· Discontinue swim spa operation by disconnecting the power source and notify
a qualified electrician for identification and correction of the problem.
WARNING
· To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
· The water in a swim spa should never exceed 104ºF (40° C). Water
temperatures between 100° F (38º C ) and 104º F (40° C) are considered safe
for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use
(exceeding 10 to 15 minutes) and for young children. Never exercise or swim in
water above 90°F (32°c).
· Excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage
during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women
should limit swim spa temperatures to 100º F (38° C).
· Before entering a swim spa, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature
regulating devices may vary as much as 5º F (3°C).

Installation Guidelines and Site Preparation
29
Swim Spa installation can be quick and simple if these guidelines are
considered in planning the site. Please read the following information
carefully. Proper planning will make the delivery and install more economical
and efficient and the proper site selection will increase your year-round
enjoyment.
Access from delivery point to final site: Consider the route from where the
unit is delivered to the installation site. The steepness of grade, trees,
shrubs, gates, roof overhangs, cables and overhead wires need consideration.
Outside dimensions of your model choice can be used to determine clearance
required for the move. Review outdoor and indoor installation suggestions
prior to choosing your swim spa location.
It is common to have swim spas moved with the use of a crane onto the site of
your choice. This is an easy solution to locate your new swim spa in what may
be the most advantageous area of your home, although not accessible with the
normal means.
Surface Requirements: Your swim spa should be placed on a level concrete pad
designed to support 26,000 lbs.( 11,793 kg.). Do not place the swim spa on a
dirt surface or directly on the ground. Once you have a location selected,
there are several issues you should consider in preparing the site for the
swim spa installation.
A flat, level surface strong enough to support your swim spa is mandatory.
Once your swim spa is filled, it has considerable weight. Make certain the
location you choose can support a minimum of 200 lbs (91 kg) per square foot
load, per recommended guidelines. A reinforced concrete slab should be at
least four inches thick with the reinforcing mesh or rod attached to a bond
wire. To check the level of this surface, spray a hose on the surface and
check for puddles or run-off. Make the necessary corrections assuring
levelness prior to placement of your new swim spa. Structural damage to the
swim spa resulting from the incorrect installation of placement on inadequate
foundation is not covered in the swim spa’s limited warranty.
General Considerations: Make sure your dimensions are correct as you prepare
the site for your new swim spa. Click onto the web site
(www.pdcspas.com) or call your retailer for dimensions of the model you have
chosen. Allow a perimeter of the chosen ground surface to extend beyond the
swim spa itself to provide a clean area for users to get in and out of the
swim spa.
The swim spa location and the swim spa itself must be level before filling
with water. Review Installing the Shim Guidelines included with your swim spa.
Instructions are also found under the Installation section of this manual.
This must be completed prior to filling your unit with water.
Allow adequate space to access the equipment behind the four access panels on
the swim spa cabinet. Review the pages in this manual referencing swim spa
model specifications for the location of the support equipment for the model
you have chosen.
Leave ample access to the GFCI circuit breaker for testing and frequent
access.
A quick disconnect (manual disconnect) or GFCI is to be installed between 5 –
15 ft. (1.5-4.6 m) of the spa and within the line of sight from the unit.
Consider where this can be located when selecting and preparing the spa site.
All wiring must comply with the U.S. National Electric Code. ALL EQUIPMENT
MUST BE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT PROTECTED (NOT SUPPLIED) AT THE POWER
SOURCE. ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING OF THE SWIM SPA SUPPORT EQUIPMENT MUST COMPLY
WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE.
Note location of electric source into the unit prior to positioning on
surface.
THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL GRADE PRODUCT. A KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES,
PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION ACCORDING TO CODES ARE REQUIRED FOR
PROPER INSTALLATION AND USER SATISFACTION. WE RECOMMEND
THAT A LICENSED CONTRACTOR PERFORM THE INSTALLATION. OUR WARRANTY DOES NOT
COVER IMPROPER INSTALLATION-RELATED PROBLEMS.
Installation Guidelines and Site Preparation
30
Important: All swim spa sides must be accessible for regular maintenance or in
the event that service is required. General maintenance will require entry to
equipment behind cabinet panels. It is recommended to allow 3 feet of access
to all sides of the swim spa for routine and service maintenance. Your
warranty does not include any cost associated with gaining access to equipment
for servicing.
Indoor Installation Considerations
1. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
2. Ventilation fans and/or dehumidifiers should be provided to handle the
high humidity developed by your swim spa. Walls, ceiling and wood trim
resistance to moisture and water should be of consideration.
3. Chemicals will vaporize from the water and may cause an odor and possibly
corrosion to certain home hardware. Never store chemicals inside the swim spa
cabinet or where they may come into contact with water.
4. During the normal use of the swim spa, water will escape the swim spa
vessel. Never place the swim spa on or over any material which may be damaged
by this water or the chemicals within the water. Keep damageable materials far
enough away from the swim spa to avoid water damage, even if the spa should
lose all its water.
5. Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of rapid swim spa drainage. If
placement of the swim spa is permanent, you may wish to provide floor drains
to accommodate draining, etc. Always leave space around the swim spa for easy
access in case of repairs and maintenance, 3 ft. is suggested.
6. Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of swim spa removal.
7. Read 7-13 in the Outdoor Installation Considerations.
8. Do not set swim spa on finished floor without a waterproof barrier
protection underneath.
9. The swim spa should have access to a power source capable of supplying 240
volts AC power. It must be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (G.F.C.I.) or equivalent RCD (not supplied),
for export installs. No other appliances should be on the same circuit.
10. The swim spa should be close to a source of water.
11. Be sure the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support the
weight of the swim spa when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the
occupants. The swim spa may weigh up to 26,000 lbs ( 11,793 kg.) when it is
filled with water. Contact a contractor or structural engineer to determine
adequate support.
12. Do not use the swim spa above a finished living area, due to the risk of
water damage.
13. The swim spa is not designed for in-floor installation. However, it is
compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the top of the unit,
provided adequate space for service is considered.
14. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy
concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the swim spa.
Outdoor Installation Considerations:
1. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
2. Consider local codes pertaining to fencing, enclosures, walls, electrical
and plumbing. You will need to ensure that your swim spa is an adequate
distance from power lines, both aboveground and underground. Your swim spa
will also need to be childproofed.
3. View from house for aesthetics and supervisory needs.
4. Distance from house for wintertime use.
5. Nighttime lighting.
Installation Guidelines and Site Preparation
31
Outdoor Installation Considerations (cont’d):
6. Locate the swim spa with an awareness to sunlight exposure, views, access,
property lines, lighting, wind direction, shielding, septic tanks, plants,
trees. (Chemicals in the swim spa water splashed from your swim spa may damage
nearby plant life.)
7. Consider the location of the nearest bathroom or dressing room.
8. If your swim spa is to be located on a second story, be positive support
is adequate. Call your builder and a structural engineer.
9. Area for placement of support equipment where adequate space will be
needed to gain access to components for maintenance and general servicing.
10. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy
concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the swim spa.
11. Provide adequate drainage away from the equipment and adequate elevation
to allow draining by siphon, should it be required.
12. Location of electrical supply. 120/240 volt systems require hard wire
installed from the electrical source to the swim spa support pack terminal.
ALL EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT PROTECTED (NOT SUPPLIED) AT THE
POWER SOURCE. ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING OF THE SWIM SPA SUPPORT EQUIPMENT MUST
COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE.
13. Locations at least 5 ft (1.52 m) from all metal surfaces. (A swim spa may
be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces providing each metal surface is
permanently connected by a No. 6AWG (8.4 mm2) copper conductor attached to the
wire connector on the terminal box provided for this purpose.) ALL
INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH ARTICLE 680 OF THE U.S. NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE
AND ANSI/NFPA 70-1984.
Partially or Fully Recessed Installations:
PDC Spas does not recommend this type of installation, although if this is
what you have chosen for your new swim spa, please review the following
considerations.
1. A system for preventing collection and pooling of water must be designed
in accordance to local authorities.
2. If installed in designated floodways, additional attention to maximum
water load entering that floodway must be addressed to prevent water from
accumulating below grade. The swim spa is not designed to be submerged in
water and will void all warranties.
3. Unit must be level and self-supporting and NEVER backfilled with sand,
gravel or dirt. This will void all warranties.
4. Plan for complete drainage.
5. Must have proper ventilation so equipment does not overheat.
6. Must provide at least 3 feet of access around all sides of the swim spa.
Warranty does not cover costs associated with gaining access for service and
maintenance.
7. Below grade drainage needs to be evaluated based upon specific region
rainfalls. This analysis must be done by a qualified local engineer to ensure
proper drainage.
Installation and Initial Start-Up Instructions
32
Once the swim spa is in its final location perform the following steps to begin the start-up procedure.
1. Locate white lines painted on the outside of the swim spa base. There are as few as 8 and as many as 14 depending
on the model and series. Insert provided composite shim below the painted line, between
the swim spa base and foundation. Push shim in by hand until it stops, then gently tap shim
with hammer until it stops. Score shim with utility knife and break off flush with swim spa base. Photo top right.
Swim Spa Base White Line
2. Consult the specification sheet for your specific swim spa model to locate the electrical spa pack. Remove the cabinet panel exposing pack to complete electric connection.
Foundation
Composite
3. Consult the specification sheet to locate all the pumps for your specific model, then remove appropriate cabinet panels. Be sure all pump and heater unions are secure. Each pump has 2 unions, the heater has 2 unions. The unions of a newly delivered swim spa may have loosened during transportation. While checking the unions also check the slide valves are in the up position and the lock is installed. Photo bottom right.
Slide Valve Pump Union
4. Inspect the swim spa for any dirt or particles that may have gotten on the surface after the plastic was removed from the swim spa. Wipe the swim spa with a soft damp sponge.
5. Ensure your water source is safe for hot tub use. Water may contain minerals that may cause stains or deposits. Water with high mineral count may discolor the water once a sanitizer is added.
6. Let the water run out of your garden hose for several minutes before filling the swim spa. This will flush out stagnant water in the line that may cause bacteria.
7. Begin filling the swim spa. We recommend filling the swim spa to the top line on side wall. During the filling process periodically check the unions to ensure they are tight and no water is leaking out. The dual zone models are separate zones each with their own pack, heater, control. Follow the connection, filling instructions for each zone.
8. Once the swim spa is filled turn the circuit breaker on. The spa will turn on and start the circulation pump.
9. It may be necessary to bleed air from the pump or pumps on your swim spa, if after start up your swim spa pumps do not operate. Due to the nature of water flow and hydrotherapy pumps, please be advised that air locking of pumps may occur. PDC Spas has taken measures to reduce the possibility of this, but it still may occur, especially after refilling a swim spa. This is not a service covered under warranty. To relieve an airlock situation, loosen the pump union on the discharge side of the pump. You may possibly hear air come out when union is loosened, after a few seconds tighten the union. Turn the pump on to see if proper jet flow has been achieved. If proper jet flow has not been achieved repeat process.
10. Open air regulators allowing maximum flow through jets assuring pump operation.
11. Refer to Control section for heating, filtration cycles and system operation.
Installation and Initial Start-Up Instructions
33
12. Adjust water chemistry according to the instructions provided in water
chemistry guidelines section.
13. View current water temp on the control panel and set to desired level.
Water will heat approximately 1 2 degrees an hour. Times may vary.
14. Adjust water chemistry according to the instructions provided in water
chemistry guidelines section.
15. Remove the swim spa cover from the box and place it on the swim spa. Pull
down one of the straps on the swim spa cover and hold latch against the
cabinet side panel. To position the lock correctly, have a second person hold
the strap tight on the opposite side of the swim spa cover. The swim spa cover

choices available for cover lifters that can be installed by the homeowner. Be
certain
there is adequate support in the swim spa frame and screws are long enough to
secure the lifter in the frame. Damage to the cabinet panels as a result of
inferior
lifter installation voids panel warranty.

Warning: Read all instructions before using the spa. PDC Spas, PDC
International assumes no responsibility for personal injury
or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product. When
installing and using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
taken to reduce risk of electrical shock, ensure safe usage, and safeguard the
user’s health.
Navigation
Navigating the entire menu structure is done with 2 or 3 buttons on the
control panel. The Accent control panel has separate WARM (Up) and COOL (Down)
temperature buttons. The MENU Button is used to choose the various menus and
navigate each section. The two Temperature buttons (Warm and Cool) are used to
select and change the parameter. Typical use of the Temperature buttons allows
changing the Set Temperature while the numbers are flashing in the LCD. The
menus can be exited by pressing the Menu key repeatedly to return to main
screen. Waiting a few seconds in the Main Menu will allow the display to
revert to the Main Screen. Most changes are not saved unless Menu key is
pressed.
Sample Navigation Flow
Power-up Screens Each time the System powers up, a series of numbers is displayed. After the startup sequence of numbers, the system will enter Priming Mode.
Operation Systems Vitality Series | SL- Accent Control
39
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 will go
through specific sequences. These sequences are normal and display a variety
of information regarding the configuration of the spa control.
Priming Mode M019*
This mode will last for 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit the priming mode
after the pump has 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 can be energized by pushing the
“Jet” buttons.
Priming the Pump
As soon as the above display appears on the panel, push the “Jet” button once
to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then again to switch to high-speed. The pumps
will now be running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pump has not
primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in the spa, do
not allow the pump to continue to run. Turn off the pump 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 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 has 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.
Vitality Series Fitness Spa
Pump
Press the “Jets ” button once to turn pump on or off, and to shift between low
and high-speeds. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out
period. The pump low-speed will time out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will
time out after 15 minutes. If the spa is in Ready Mode, pump low may also
activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes 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. If unable to turn off low speed, note
the pump will continue to operate on low speed until set temp is reached. It
will automatically turn off when temp is reached.
Operation Systems Vitality Series | SL- Accent Control

Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature,
then the pump will automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The
pump will run either continuously or periodically depending on conditions.
Clean-up Cycle When a pump is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle
begins 30 minutes after the pump is turned off or times out. The pump and the
ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or more, depending on the system.
Temperature and Temp
Adjusting the Set Temperature
The panel has Up and Down buttons (Temperature buttons), pressing Up or Down
will cause the temperature to flash. Pressing a temperature button again will
adjust the set temperature in the direction indicated on the button. When the
LCD stops flashing, the spa will heat to the new set temperature when
required. Spa temperature can be set between 50°F and 104°F.
Press-and-Hold
If a Temperature button is pressed and held when the temperature is flashing,
the temperature will continue to change until the button is released. NOTE:
Spa will not reach set temp if unit is in Low Range. Check settings to be sure
unit is in High Range to reach temps above 80°F.
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, and
the Low Range designated in the display by a “down” arrow. 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 below.
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. For example: High range might be set between 80°F
and 104°F. Low range might be set between 50°F and 99°F. Freeze protection is
active in either range.
- Press menu key TEMP will be displayed. 2) Use Up or Down arrow to change
from High to Low range. A small Up arrow or Down arrow icon will be displayed
on the
screen. NOTE: Spa will not reach set temp if unit is in Low Range. Check settings to be sure unit is in High Range to reach temps above 80°F.
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 known as the “heater pump.”
READY Mode will circulate water periodically, using Pump Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display. This is known as “polling.” REST Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Since polling does not occur, the temperature display may not show a current temperature until the pump has been running for a minute or two.
Ready-in-Rest Mode
READY/REST 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 High can be turned on and off, pump 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.

Show and Set Time of Day
Setting the time-of-day can be important for determining filtration times and
other background features. When in the TIME menu, SET TIME will flash on the
display if no time-of-day is set in the memory. Setting Time: 1) Repeatedly
press menu key until set time or time appears on screen. 2) Press up or down
arrow to adjust hour. 3) Press light key to switch to minutes. 4) Press up or
down key to adjust minutes. 5) Press light key to exit.
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 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 the 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.
Restricting
The control can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or temperature
adjustments.
Locking the panel prevents the controller from being used, but all automatic
functions are still active.
Locking the Temperature allows Jets and other features to be used, but the Set
Temperature and other programmed settings cannot be adjusted. Temperature Lock

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 navigating to the “Back” button on the

This system incorporates two temperature range settings with independent set
temperatures. The specific range can be selected on the Settings screen and is
visible on the Main Screen in the upper right corner of the display. These
ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common use being a “ready to
use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting. 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
can be set between 80°F and 104°F. Low Range can be set between 50°F and 99°F.
Heat Mode Ready vs. Rest
In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the
heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “heater pump.”
The heater pump will be a 2-speed pump (Pump 1).
READY Mode will circulate water every 1/2 hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to
maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the
temperature display. This is known as “polling.”
REST Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Since
polling does not occur, the temperature display may not show a current
temperature until the heater pump has been running for a minute or two.
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.
Ready-in-Rest Mode
READY/REST appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and the Jets 1
Button 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
Settings Menu and changing the Heat Mode.
Time-of-Day
Setting the time-of-day is important for determining filtration times and
other background features. “Set Time” will appear on the display if no time-
of-day is set in the memory.
On the Settings Screen, select the Time. On the Time screen, simply navigate
right and left to select the Hour, Minutes, AM/PM. Use the Up and Down Buttons
to make changes.
When changes are made, the icon to go “Back” changes to “Save” and a new icon
for “Cancel” appears under the Save icon. Navigating to the right will
highlight the Save icon, and navigating left will allow the user to cancel the
pending change. Pressing the “Select” button will save or cancel the changes
and go back to the previous screen.
NOTE: If power is interrupted to the system, Time-of-Day will be maintained
for several days.

Adjusting
Main Filtration Using the same navigation and adjustment as Setting the Time,
Filter Cycles are set using a start time and a duration. Each setting can be
adjusted in 15-minute increments. The panel calculates the end time and
displays it automatically.
Filtration and Ozone Pump 1 low and the ozone generator will run during
filtration. 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
water will run briefly to purge the plumbing to maintain good water quality.
Filter Cycle 2 – Optional Filtration Follow the same process to change the
other filter time settings, if desired. It is possible to overlap Filter Cycle
1 and Filter Cycle 2, which will shorten overall filtration by the overlap
amount.
Clean-up Cycle (optional) When a pump is turned on by a button press, a clean-
up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump is turned off or times out. The pump
and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or more, depending on the
system.
Purge Cycles In order to maintain sanitary conditions, as well as protect
against freezing, secondary water devices will purge water from their
respective plumbing by running briefly at the beginning of each filter cycle.
If the Filter Cycle 1 duration is set for 24 hours, enabling Filter Cycle 2
will initiate a purge when Filter Cycle 2 is to begin.
Invert Panel Selecting Invert Panel will flip the display and the buttons so
the panel can be easily operated from inside or outside the hot tub.
Restricting Operation The control can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or
temperature adjustments. Locking the Panel prevents the controller from being
used, but all automatic functions are still active. Locking the Settings
allows Jets and other features to be used, but the Set Temperature and other
programmed settings cannot be adjusted. Settings Lock allows access to a
reduced selection of menu items. These include Set Temperature, Invert, Lock,
Utilities, Information and Fault Log. They can be seen, not changed or edited.
Locking & Unlocking
- Navigate to Locks. 2) Press the select navigation button to view lock screen. 3) Navigate to either Settings or Panel. 4) Press and hold the Select button for 5 seconds. 5) Follow the same steps to Unlock.

conditions.
GFCI Test
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Detector (RCD)
is an important safety device and is required equipment on a hot tub
installation.
CE registered systems do not have an RCD Test Feature due to the nature of the
electrical service. The end-user must be trained how to properly test and
reset the RCD. It is mandatory to verify proper installation and function of
the GFCI or RCD. Users / owners are to manually test this safety device prior
to each use. Should the device not function properly, shut the hot tub off at
the breaker and contact service tech.
Panel Messages
Most messages and alerts will appear at the bottom of the normally used
screens. Several alerts and messages may be displayed in a sequence. Some
messages can be reset from the panel. Messages that can be reset will appear
with a “right arrow” at the end of the message. This message can be selected
by navigating to it by pressing the Select button.
Possible freezing condition A potential freeze condition has been detected, or
the Aux Freeze Switch has closed. All water devices are activated. 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.

WARNING:
Read all instructions before using the spa. PDC Spas, PDC International
assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by
or through the use of this product. When installing and using this equipment
basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce risk of electrical
shock, ensure safe usage, and safeguard the user’s health.
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 and the control system during the filling process.
After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel will
display a company logo screen.
Priming Mode
After the initial start-up sequence, the control will enter Priming Mode and
display a Priming Mode screen. Only pump icons appear on the priming mode
screen. 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 selecting the “Jet” buttons.
Priming the Pumps
As soon as the Priming Mode screen appears on the panel, select the “Jets 1” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then
again to switch to high-speed. Also, select the other pumps, to turn them on. The pumps should 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.
Priming Mode
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 into an overheat condition.
Exiting Priming Mode
The system will automatically enter the normal heating and filtering at the
end of the priming mode, which lasts 4-5 minutes. You can manually exit
Priming Mode by pressing the “Back” button on the Priming Mode Screen. 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 display the
Main Screen, but the display will not show the water temperature yet, as shown
below. This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of
waterflowing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display
it. °F °C

Settings Screen
Heat Mode–Ready vs. Rest
In order for the swim spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the
heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “heater pump.”
The heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode will circulate water every 1/2
hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature,
heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display. This is known as
“polling.” Rest Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles.
Since polling does not occur, the temperature display may not show a current
temperature until the heater pump has been running for a minute or two. When
the heater pump has come on automatically (for example for heating) you can
switch between low speed and high speed but you cannot turn the heater pump
off.
Ready-in-Rest Mode
Ready in Rest Mode appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and the
Jets 1 Button is pressed. When the heater pump has come on automatically (for
example for heating) you can switch between low speed and high speed but you
cannot turn the heater pump off. After 1 hour, the System will revert to Rest
Mode. This mode can also be reset by selecting the Heat Mode line.
Settings Programming, Etc.
The Settings Screen is where all programming and other spa behaviors are
controlled. Each icon on the Settings screen takes you to a different screen,
where one or more setting may be viewed and/or edited.
The Heat Icon
takes you to a screen where you control the Heat Mode and the Temperature Range.
