the purge / filter cycles
Programming filter cycles
Depending on system configuration the system performs either purge cycles or filter cycles.
To program the filter cycles, you must enter these parameters: duration and frequency.

Setting filter cycle duration
Press and hold the Light key until the display shows dxx , with "xx" representing the duration in hours. (Default: 2 hours).
Use Up or Down key to change setting.
0 = no filtration 24 = continuous filtration
Note: it's not recommended to set this to "0".
Filter cycle frequency
Press the Light key again. The display will show Fx , with "x" representing the number of filter cycles per day (up to 4). (Default: twice a day).

Water temperature regulation
In a regulation cycle, the system first generates water flow through the heater housing and the plumbing, in order to ensure accurate water temperature readings as well as avoiding heater activation in dry conditions.
After verifying pump activation and taking a water temperature reading if required, the system automatically turns the heater on to reach and maintain water temperature at
Set Point.
The “Heater” indicator lights up when the heater is on. It flashes when there is a request for more heat but the heater has not yet started.
Smart Winter Mode
Our Smart Winter Mode protects your system from the cold by turning pumps on several times a day to prevent water from freezing in pipes.
The “Smart Winter Mode” indicator lights up when the Smart Winter Mode is on.
