1 Introduction Congratulations on choosing one of the top of the line Spa Power control systems by Davey Water Products. This controller offers a large range of possible accessories, a user friendly touchpad and superior components. It makes use of the latest electronics, display and sensor technology to provide you with the most sophisticated controller in its class.
1.3 LED Indicators Auto (Non-24HR circ model) This LED is green when automatic control is enabled and off when pump 1 is under manual control. In automatic “PUMP AUTO” pump 1 runs as required to heat the pool and ensure minimum filtration times are met. If the indicator is blinking it means that the water sensor is not detecting any water in the heater housing.
1.4 Pump Selection Page Before reading the following user guide please take note of your pump type then refer to the page stated to learn how to operate your spa pool controller. Use the table below to determine which pump type you have on your spa.

7 Navigating The Menu System The SP800 menu system provides a simple interface that allows you to view and modify most user options. These options include set temperature, sleep times, filtration time and filtration period to name a few. Throughout the entire menu system only three touch pad buttons are used - DOWN, SCROLL and UP. Generally, while you are within the menu system the lower line of text on the LCD Display will show the function of each of these buttons.
7.2 Set Temp (Temperature control) Select MAIN menu then push UP button once The SP800 automatically controls the main pump and heater to filter the water and maintain it at the desired temperature set by the user. The user can leave the system to look after the spa and know it will be at the correct temperature whenever he or she wants to use it.
7.3 User Timer The user timer is a general-purpose countdown minute timer that can be preset to start at anywhere between 1 and 99 minutes. You can set it when you get into the spa to have it remind you when it’s time to get out.
7.4.1 Setting The Clock 1. Select the clock menu item from within the main menu. 2. Press the SCROLL button to begin setting the clock. 3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the desired clock mode (12hr or 24hr). 4.
7.5 User Alarms The SP800 controller has nine user programmable alarms that you can configure to go off at a preset time while you are using the spa. These alarms function similarly to a regular clock alarm but with the additional benefit that you can also specify which days the alarm should operate.
7.5.2 Disabling A User Alarm If you want to disable a user alarm follow the procedure outlined above until you reach step 4. At this point use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the weekday setting until no days are selected (see display below). Press the SCROLL button to save the new setting and return to the user alarms submenu.

3. Press SCROLL to start modifying the sleep start day. 4. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the desired weekdays that the sleep period will operate. There are 15 possible weekday settings to choose from -Monday to Sunday and various combinations of each. 5.
7.6.2 Disabling A Sleep Time Period If you want to disable a sleep period follow the procedure outlined in Configuring a sleep time until you reach step 4. At this point use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the weekday setting until no days are selected.

7.8 Miscellaneous Options Submenu The miscellaneous options menu contains convenience options that primarily allow you to customise the look of the poolside touch panel. None of the options have any effect upon the basic spa control functions such as pump operation or heating. Select MAIN menu then push UP button seven times 7.8.1 Key Clicks (on/off) By default the touch pad will beep whenever a button is pressed, however key clicks (beeps) may be...
7.8.2 Main Display The SP800 touch pad LCD consists of two lines of text and four numerical digits. The display typically shows three quantities - pool temperature, set temperature and the clock (weekday and time). By default the pool temperature is displayed on the numerical digits leaving the clock and set temperature on the two lines of text.
Please note that the backlight intensity setting only has effect when the pool is in use. After 90 minutes of touch pad inactivity (no button presses) the backlight intensity will automatically return to a fixed 34% setting. This is to ensure long life of the backlight LEDs. As soon as you press a button on the touch pad your custom setting will be restored.
7.9.3 Heat Pump The Davey SP800 and SP800 Controllers are fitted with heat pump connectivity to control your heat pump as a heating or cooling device. If a heat pump is fitted, the options for heating and cooling are: HP HEAT ONLY Only the heat pump will operate - in heating mode (default option).
corresponding Heating or Cooling mode. If set to Heating mode, set the heat pump temperature to the maximum available on the heat pump. If set to Cooling mode, set the heat pump temperature to the minimum available on the heat pump. The spa controller has been designed to operate with any generic heat pump that does not require soft shutdown.
This feature is especially useful in warmer climates where very little automatic heating (and hence water filtration) is necessary to keep the pool water at the set temperature. Automatic filtration consists of two user adjustable settings - Filtration Time and Filtration Period. These settings are located in the advanced options submenu.
7.9.10 Ozone On When Spa is in Use (if fitted) The user has the ability to turn the ozone off when the spa is being used. If a button on the touchpad is pressed then the controller will turn the ozone unit off and wait 30 minutes before turning it back on. 7.9.11 Changing the Ozone Setting (if enabled) 1.
7.11 Stereo Controls The SP800 is designed to interact with a Sony DSX-S100 Digital Media Player via infra-red if installed. The SP800 is able to replicate most of the functionality of the Sony RM-X151 Remote Commander supplied with the unit. Ensure you familiarise yourself with the Operating Instructions provided with the DSX-S100. MAIN MENU STEREO CONTROLS STEREO CONTROLS...

To reverse the display press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously To restore the display press the UP and DOWN buttons again.
9 Self-Diagnostic Error Codes The Spa Power 800 controller has extensive self diagnostic capabilities. In the event of a problem it will indicate a warning or error according to the nature of the problem. The spa will continue operating if a warning is produced but user intervention or service is required for errors.
Page 40
Error 4 (“NO WATER SENSOR”) - No Water Sensor This error indicates a problem with the optical water sensor in the heater. The problem may be caused by the sensor being disconnected or by damage to the sensor. Try to reset the spa. If there is still a problem then contact your spa pool supplier.Error 5 (“OVER TEMP”) Over Temperature This error indicates that one of the digital temperature sensors in either the heater or pool has detected a temperature of 45ºC or more.
Page 41
Warnings Warning 1 (“TEMP SENSOR FAILURE”) - Temperature sensor failure This warning indicates that one of the two digital temperature sensors in either the heater or pool is no longer functioning correctly. The spa is able to continue operating using the other sensor, however there is probably a fault.

Levels of sanitiser are important to prevent the build up of bacteria, and algae in the pool water. Chlorine is not the only sanitiser available to do this. Other sanitisers are Bromine, Ozone. Damage to the element, thermostat pockets and associated metalwork due to the poor maintenance of water chemistry is not covered by warranty. Your Local Davey Dealer is:...
