Controller Buttons
Spa button/LED: For spa operations. Press the Spa button to activate the filter pump to rotate the pool/
spa valve actuators and circulate the spa water (LED on). Press the button again to switch the filter
pump off (LED off). While the valves are rotating into position the filter pump will switch off. For service
or testing purposes, if the heater is enabled in the Heat menu, pressing this button will also activate the
heater. For normal spa operations the heater is automatically switched on with the filter pump (see Man
Heat page 42) regardless of the Heat menu setting. When this button is pressed the circuit is activated,
the LED is on and "SPA" is displayed on the screen with the current and set point water temperatures.
Once the filter pump is switched on it will run for 12 hours unless it is switched off. When this button is
pressed, the LEDs on the outdoor control panel Filter Pump (F) button, Valves (V) button, and Heater
button (if enabled in the Heat menu) will be on. If this display line is blank, it indicates no spa or pool
function is currently active.
Pool Button: For pool operations. Press the Pool (P) button to activate the filter pump, rotate the pool/
P
spa valve actuators and circulate the pool water and switch on the heater (if enabled in the Heat menu).
Press the button again to switch the filter pump off. While the valves are rotating into position the filter
pump will switch off. When this button is pressed the circuit is activated and "POOL" is displayed on the
screen with actual and set point water temperatures. When the filter pump is switched on it will run for 12
hours unless it is switched off. When this button is pressed, the LEDs on the outdoor control panel Filter
Pump (F) button, Valves (V) button, and Heater button (if enabled in the Heat menu) will be on. If this
display line is blank, it indicates no pool or spa function is currently active.

Single-Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the Pool button to switch
the pump on. Press the Pool button again to switch the pump off. However, if the heater is
operating, and a delay is enabled for valves, this allows the heater to cool down (heater cool-
down), then when you press the Pool button to switch off the pump, only the heater will turn
off, then the filter pump will automatically switch off after 10 minutes to allow the heater to cool
down. To override the "heater cool-down," press the Pool button again to switch off the pump.
•
Two-Speed Filter Pump: Press the Pool button to switch the two-speed pump on in high
speed. Press the Pool button again to run the pump in low speed. In order to use the "2-Speed
Pump" menu assignments (see page 36), the 2-Speed relay option must be installed in the
EasyTouch Power Center.
Notes about Freeze Protection: This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against
freeze damage. If the outside air temperature sensor falls below 36° F (2° C), "Freeze Protection"
is activated and the Filter Pump relay is switched on to circulate the pool water. To enable freeze
protection for a circuit, see "Settings Menu: Circuit Functions, " on page 44.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): The main system display consists of a 16 x 4 alphanumeric character
LCD with EL backlighting for easy viewing of the menu items, and status messages. Press the Menu
button twice to refresh the display.
Left button: When in pool or spa mode, press the Left button to lower the set point water temperature.
Press the Spa or Pool (Up arrow P) button (page 8) to display the current water temperature. While in
the main menu, press the Left button to scroll through sub-menu selections, setting and values. While
editing settings, press and hold the Left button to fast reverse through settings and values.
