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 SP800. 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 SPVSB 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 SP800. 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 SPVSB 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 SP800. 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 & EN60364­7-1 (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 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.

Errors

1 Introduction

Congratulations on choosing one of the top of the line Spa Power control systems by Spa-Quip.
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.

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 SP800 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 SP800 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 SPVSB 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 SPVSB buttons are pushed
simultaneously (see below).

1.1 Basic Operation

The SP800 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.

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.
