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 conditions. 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)

Priming Mode

Act of water flow through the plumbing to purge air from the spa system.

Normally, priming mode can be bypassed. The priming 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 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.

Programming

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