Balboa Water Group Spa Therapy Sequencer 52200-98 - Manual (Page 6)

6 Balboa Water Group Therapy Sequencer 6
To pause at any point in the therapy sequence, push the “Pause” button. This will hold the sequencer in the current
mode until the “Pause” button is pushed again to resume the sequence. The LCD will momentarily display “PA” and
then alternately display “PA” and the current program number.
Suggestion 9. Variations in jet layout.
The number of jets that can be controlled by the Therapy Sequencer can be increased to 40 full sized jets or 64 euro
jets by adding 4 additional sequencing valves. The system can support either 4 or 8 valves. The 4 additional valves
(valves 5, 6, 7, and 8) would be sequenced exactly like the 4 original valves. When valve 1 is energized, valve 5 is
also energized and when valve 2 is energized, valve 6 is energized etc. This would allow a spa to be designed with two
therapy sequencing positions or one large position. The Therapy Sequencer would operate 8 valves as described above
and be controlled by one or two top side panels. Because of the additional flow requirement for the added jets, this
design would require an additional pump and a duplicate hydraulic system.
Here are some important points to remember when you are designing a spa to use the Balboa Therapy Sequencer.
1. Each valve can supply enough water to operate 5 full size jets or 8 euro jets.
2. Each valve represents a programmed function and the Therapy Sequencer requires 4 or 8 valves to completely
operate the sequences. Example: If only 3 valves were installed, there would be an inactive blank in the sequence as
the Therapy Sequencer energized the blank output.
3. Always keep in mind the hydraulic requirements to operate the jets. Make sure the pump will develop enough flow
to operate all of the jets, and be sure the suction fittings are rated to handle the proposed flow. If two pumps are
required, remember to consider the added electrical requirements as well as the added suction fitting requirements.
Plan the jet layout in the spa and design the plumbing schematic to maintain a balanced hydraulic condition when all
jets are operating.
