The Settings Screen – Continued
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 can be either a 2-speed pump (Pump 1) or a circulation pump.
If 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.
Circulation Mode (See Page 11, under Pumps, for other circulation modes)
If the spa is configured for 24HR circulation, the heater pump generally runs continuously. Since the
heater pump is always running, the spa will maintain set temperature and heat as needed in Ready
Mode, without polling.
In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set temperature during programmed filter times, even though
the water is being filtered constantly when in 24HR circulation mode.
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 entering the Settings Menu and selecting the
Heat Mode line.
