C9-OR-99: TP500 CONTROL PANEL & SPA OPERATION PRIMING MODE - M019* This mode will last 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit the priming mode after the pump(s) have primed. Regardless of whether the priming mode ends automatically or you manually exit the priming mode, the system will automatically start normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode.
C9-OR-99: TP500 CONTROL PANEL & SPA OPERATION Freeze Protection If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the pump(s) and the blower automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The pump(s) and blower will run either continuously or periodically depending on conditions. In colder climates, an optional freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard sensors.
C9-OR-99: TP500 CONTROL PANEL & SPA OPERATION READY AND REST MODE 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 “primary pump”. The primary pump can be either a 2-speed Pump 1 or a circ pump. If the primary pump is a 2-speed Pump 1, Ready Mode (indicated by ) will circulate water periodically, using Pump 1 low-speed, in order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display.
C9-OR-99: TP500 CONTROL PANEL & SPA OPERATION SETTING THE TIME OF DAY Setting the time-of-day can be important for determining filtration times and other background features. When in the Time Menu, SET TIME will flash on the display if no time-of-day is set in the memory. 24-hour time display can be set under the Pref Menu (See page 17).
C9-OR-99: TP500 CONTROL PANEL & SPA OPERATION RESTRICTING OPERATION The top side panel can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or temperature adjustments. Locking the panel prevents the controller from being used, but all automatic functions are still active. Locking the temperature allows “Jets” and other features to be used, but the Set Temperature and other programmed settings cannot be adjusted.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Your spa will require periodic maintenance to ensure that you maintain clean and healthy water, a safe spa and a clean and healthy spa environment. By performing regular maintenance, your spa will provide you with many trouble-free years of therapy and enjoyment. FILTER Your spa contains a filter cartridge that was designed to trap and remove particles from the spa water.
COVER MAINTENANCE AND WINTERIZING YOUR SPA Clean the outer surface of the cover using mild detergent, warm water and a soft brush or cloth. Thoroughly rinse the cover after cleaning. Never use cleaners that contain harsh abrasives or rubbing and buffing compounds as they may permanently damage your cover’s surface. If your spa is equipped with a vinyl cover and is exposed to sunlight, it is recommended to regularly apply a vinyl protector to prevent the vinyl from cracking or discoloring under the sun’s UV rays.
Page 28
COVER MAINTENANCE AND WINTERIZING YOUR SPA IMPORTANT! Damage caused by improper winterizing is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. The following is a guideline to help you winterize your spa. It is imperative that you remove as much water from the spa, the plumbing lines and the equipment as you can to help prevent freeze damage.
UNDERSTANDING SPA CHEMICALS AND HOW THEY ARE USED As a new spa owner, it is very important that you learn and understand how to keep your spa water clean and healthy. This short guide was designed to give you a basic explanation of the most common chemicals used in spas and when they are needed. It is recommended that you consult Cloud 9 Spas for more detailed information or if you need further assistance.
SPECIALTY CHEMICALS Specialty chemicals address occasional water problems and help to maintain clean, clear water when a spa is heavily used. Whether you will or should use these chemicals will be based on the quality of your source water and how frequently your spa is used.
DISINFECTING AND SANITIZING CHEMICALS There are many different systems available to disinfect and sanitize your spa. The system that you choose should be geared to the frequency of usage of your spa and who is using it. Following are five traditional systems that address different preferences and usage parameters. You should choose the system that is best suited for you.
