CONTROLLER REFERENCE GUIDE
HYDRO FRICTION SYSTEM FUSION HOT TUBS
Initial start-up Your topside control has been specifically designed so that by simply connecting the spa to its properly
grounded source, the control will automatically heat the water to the set temperature.
Temperature Adjustment (60F-104F)
The current temperature is constantly displayed on the LED. Press the "Up" or "down" buttons to display the set temperature.
Each time either button is pressed again, the set temperature will increase or decrease depending on which button is pressed.
After three seconds, the LED will automatically display the current hot tub temperature.
Jets
Press the "Jets" button once to turn on the pump. Both the pump and the ozone generator (if installed) operate simultaneously.
Press the jets button again to turn off the pump and ozone generator. The pump and the ozone generator turn off after 15
minutes unless heating is required to achieve the set temperature. When heating, the pump and ozone generator are
automatically activated and cannot be turned off with the function button.
Light
Press the "light" button once to turn on the light. Press the button again to turn the light off. If left on, the light will
automatically turn off after 4 hours of operation. If you have installed a multi light, each time you push the light button it will
change the color. To turn off the Freeflow Multi Light, push the light button until the light turns off (cycle through the
complete color spectrum).
Standby Mode
The hot tub can be disabled when the filter needs to be replaced. To put the system in standby mode, press the "up" or "down"
button, then the "light" button and the display will show "Sb." All hot tub functions are disabled except for freeze control.
Press any panel button to resume hot tub operation.
Filtration Cycle/Spa Water Maintenance
The first filter cycle begins 1 minute after the spa is energized. The second filter cycle begins 12 hours later. Filter duration is
programmable at the topside panel for 0, 1, 2, or 3 hours. The default filter time is 1 hour. To program press the "Up" or
"Down" button, then the "Jets" button. Press "Up" or "Down" button to select the desired filter duration. Press the "Jets"
button again to exit programming. The pump and the ozone generator (if installed) run during the filter times.
Freeze Protection
If the high-limit sensor detects 40F at the heater, then the pump is automatically activated to provide freeze protection. This is
a normal hot tub function; no corrective action is necessary. The equipment will stay on until the sensor detects 45F at the
heater. Freeze protection is enabled regardless of the hot tub's status.
