CIRC PUMP (OR CIRCULATION PUMP)

Low horse power pump designated especially for maintenance
of filtration and heating. It often runs all day.

CLEAN-UP (OR PURGE) CYCLE

An action designed to circulate water to maintain sanitary condi-
tions. Pumps or blowers purge standing water to prevent the
water from becoming stagnant.

FILTRATION CYCLE

Period of time designated to filter the system. Oftentimes there
are two filter cycles, 12 hours apart, and designated as F1 and F2.

FREEZE PROTECTION

A safety feature detecting water or air temperature approaching
freezing. Once a set low temperature is reached, an action is
often initiated automatically. Oftentimes pumps will start to keep
water circulating in all plumbing and the heater may operate.

GFCI

A device intended to protect people in the event of an electrical
malfunction. Spa owners should know how to test the GFCI as
routine maintenance.

PREFERENCES

Programmed events according to personal preferences.

SSID

Software Self Identification (or, System Panel ID)

PROGRAMMING

Setting an order and time for planned events, such as filter
times, clean-up cycle, etc.

PRIMING MODE

Act of water flow through the plumbing to purge air from the
spa system. Normally, priming mode can be bypassed. The prim-
ing mode is necessary only if the spa is refilled and if there’s the
possibility of air being in the system.

WHAT PRIMING MODE DOES:

Each time the spa is powered up, it will enter Priming Mode. The

Glossary

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 Circ Pump, it
will turn on with Jets 1 in Priming Mode. The Circ Pump will run
by itself when Priming Mode is exited.
