THINGS YOUR SPA KEYPAD TELLS YOU ABOUT YOUR SPA
The spa keypad helps deliver the best spa experience you deserve
Your hot tub keypad has many functions. Its main components are as follows:
BLOWER
The blower button controls the hot tub’s air influx from the blower. It introduces the air into the water with injectors. The blowers cause a gentle bubbling that enhances your spa experience when combined with other relaxing features.
LIGHT
The spa can have a variety of lighting options for setting the mood. The light button controls all underwater light functions such as change of colors or even a light show. The best way to move through the options is to press the button until you achieve a setting that works. Be familiar with your manual to understand all the lighting options.
JETS
This is more intense than your blower and it controls the water flow through the jets. Large tubs may have 3 buttons for different sections of jets in the spa. Some may also have various speeds that the pump can send water through. Pushing one button at a time will start the jets on low speed. If you push it a second time, it will bring about higher pressure.
TEMPERATURE
This button turns your tub into a hot tub. Many spas feature a temperature control on the topside control panel that raises temperature and lowers it. Majority of hot tubs have pre-programmed temperatures to keep the spa between 101 to 104 degrees. You can also out the tub at temperatures more comfortable for you or to make it more energy efficient.
LCD DISPLAY
Spas with LCD displays provide users with an additional feature of getting specific error messages in case there are problems with the equipment. Messages are visible on the topside control panel when the unit wants to communicate something. It alerts you when you need a new filter, if there is a heater problem, or other maintenance issues.
GFI/GFCI FAILURE
This message means the hot tub could not trip the GFCI breaker and its continued operation is unsafe. This is a good time to request for technical service.
HH, HTR TEMP LMT, OH, or OHH
These messages indicate the spa has overheated. Do not go into the water as it may have reached unsafe levels. Open the cover and let the tub cool off. You can reset the system by pushing any button. Test if the sensors are working properly.
