Spa Water Treatment

Recommended Chemical Values

Chlorine.........................	1.5 - 3.0 PPM ( Parts Per Million )
pH..................................	7.4 - 7.6
Total alkalinity ................	100 - 120 PPM

It is important to maintain your spa water chemistry to the above values to ensure a healthy experience both for you as bathers and for your spa pool equipment.

PH

This is a measure of how acid or alkaline the spa water is (below 7.0 is acid, above 7.0 is alkaline). Low pH will cause corrosion of any metalwork in the water (element, thermostat pockets). High pH will cause scale formation and cloudy water.

Total Alkalinity

This is a measure of how resistant your spa water is to change of pH. A low TA (0 - 80 ppm) will allow the pH to fluctuate rapidly normally to the acid end and will make it very hard to correct the pH back to the ideal range.

Chlorine

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.

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. This may not be a problem with the SP1200. It may be caused by excessive pump use in hot weather or pump failure. Turn off the spa and allow time for the water to cool then manually push the Light Level, Light Effect Mode, Pump 1A and Pump 2A buttons simultaneously. If there is still a problem then contact your spa pool supplier.

Error 6 (“THERMAL CUT OUT”) - Thermal Cut Out Tripped This error indicates that the safety electromechanical over temperature cut out on the heater has operated. This is not necessarily a problem with the SP1200. It may have occurred from an air lock around the element, high temperatures during shipping, or pump failure. This automatic cut out will only reset once the element has cooled below about 38ºC. The unit must then be reset before it will resume operation by manually pushing the Light Level, Light Effect Mode, Pump 1A and Pump 2A buttons simultaneously. If there is still a problem then contact your spa pool supplier.

Error 7 (“STUCK RELAY”) - Stuck Relay

This error indicates a problem with the heater control circuitry inside the unit. Contact your spa pool supplier.

Error 8 (“NO TEMP DATA”) - No Temperature Data This error indicates a problem with the digital temperature sensor in the heater or pool wall. The sensor may have become disconnected or damaged. Try to reset the spa. If there is still a problem then contact your spa pool supplier.

Error 9 (“CLOCK FAULT”) Real Time Clock Failure This error indicates a problem with the real time clock within the SP1200. Try to reset the spa. If there is still a problem then contact your spa pool supplier.

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. Contact your spa pool supplier.

If this warning appears when first commissioned it maybe that the controller needs to be set back to factory default. To set load factory defaults see page 29.

Safety Notes

Before using ensure that the spa pool has been connected to a suitable weather protected outlet socket, equipped with a double pole isolating switch, which is of the correct rating and complies with the local wiring regulations.

When installing, refer to your local wiring code. In particular refer to ECP2 & ECP25 (AS/NZ) and EN60364-4-1 & EN60364- 7-1 (EU). The system must be installed in such a way that live parts are not accessible by a person in the pool. If a supply cord is not fitted the system must be permanently connected to fixed wiring through a 30mA or less RCD.

It is recommended that the steel reinforcing in any concrete base on which the pool is sitting be equipotential bonded to the earth conductor in the supply to the spa. This is to protect against the possibility of low voltage shocks caused by differential earth voltages. Refer to AS/NZS3000:2000 Sections 5.8 & 7.2 or EN 60364.

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

9 Self-Diagnostic Error Codes

The Spa Power 1200 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.

Errors

When in an error state the alarm can be silenced by pressing the SCROLL button. The alarm will automatically silence after four minutes.

Error 1 (“PRIME FAILED”) Water Prime Failed

Prime failed is a special case. This is not necessarily a problem with the SP1200 itself, but indicates that no water is being detected in the heater housing. On a push of the DOWN button the main pump will run for 10 seconds to try to get water to the heater. If successful normal operation will resume. If unsuccessful, the error will be indicated on the display again. Note: When this error occurs you will also be given the option to run the SP1200 in demo mode, this feature is not intended for end users. If you inadvertently enter demo mode, reset the spa to start over.

With any Error 3-8, spa operation will stop and not continue until the controller is reset. The controller can only be reset by pushing the Light Level, Light Effect Mode, Pump 1A and Pump 2A buttons simultaneously. The controller will remain in an error condition even when reset at mains power, controller will only continue normal operation after the Light Level, Light Effect Mode, Pump 1A and Pump 2A buttons are pushed simultaneously (see below).

Error 3 (“STUCK BUTTON”) - Stuck Button This error indicates that one or more of the touch pad buttons is stuck or has been held down for more than one minute. This may be caused by the pool cover pressing on the touch pad or by water getting into the touch pad or by damage to the touch pad itself. Try to reset the spa. If there is still a problem then contact your spa pool supplier.

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.

1 Introduction

Congratulations on choosing Spa-Quip’s top of the line Spa Power control system. 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.

1.1 Basic Operation

The SP1200 touch pad features a large display consisting of four numerical digits and two lines of text. The display typically shows three quantities - Current pool temperature, Set (Target) pool temperature and clock (weekday and time). By default the current pool temperature is displayed on the numerical digits leaving the clock and set temperature on the two lines of text. This configuration may be changed by the user if a different layout is preferred.

Whenever a touch pad button is pressed the two lines of text will temporarily describe the newly selected state. Likewise when the controller is busy performing a task, text will be displayed to explain what is happening (examples include sleeping, purging pumps and water priming). Each of these messages and the associated function is described in the following sections.

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 mode 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. If no water is being detected the LCD Display will also show “WATER PRIMING, PLEASE WAIT”.

Water (24HR circ model) This LED is green when water is detected. If the indicator is blinking it means that the water sensor is not detecting any water in the heater housing. If no water is being detected the LCD Display will also show “WATER PRIMING, PLEASE WAIT”.

Auto Icon/ Water Icon

Heater This LED shows when the heater is on. The heater will turn on and off as required whenever the pump is running. The LED is red when the heater is on high and orange when on low. The low setting is used for load shedding to keep the total controller load within safe limits while still providing some heating effort.

Heater Icon

Sleep This LED is on whenever the controller is within a designated sleep period. When the controller is asleep the LED is green but the LED colour will change to orange if manually awoken. During the sleep state the LCD Display will also show “SLEEPING, PRESS ANY KEY”.

Sleep Icon

Ozone This LED is green whenever the ozonator (if fitted) is on. Pressing any touch pad button may automatically turn off the ozonator (depending on installer configuration). If this occurs, the ozonator will not switch back on until approximately 30 minutes after the last touch pad button press.
