SET THE DATE AND TIME
BEFORE USING THE SPA
Be sure to set the date and time before operating the spa (refer to page 10).
Vital control functions require the time and date to be set correctly.
WATER CHEMISTRY
MAINTENANCE
It is your responsibility to regularly check and maintain the chemical water balance of the spa pool to ensure it remains within reasonable pH (acid/alkaline) limits (7.4 - 7.6 pH). Unbalanced water chemistry greatly accelerates corrosion and may lead to early product or component failure. Product or component failures caused as a result of poor water chemistry maintenance will NOT be covered by the SpaNET Product Warranty.

SV Series Features Overview
PowerSMART
Welcome to the eco-friendly world of power smart spa controls with the SV Series from SpaNET. Sophisticated real-time current sensing and variable heater technology allows the SV to make optimum use of any available power supply. Multi-phase capable the SV Series also provides flexibility with connection to mains power supplies supporting connection to 1,2 or 3 phases from 10 to 60A. Add in the host of exclusive PowerSMART energy saving features such as the dedicated heat pump interface, Dynamic Thermal Tuning, Off-Peak PowerSAVE software, and user-adjustable heating modes and the SpaNET SV Series stands apart from all rivals as the most power efficient spa control available that provides the lowest possible daily operating cost.
Variable Heater
Most SV Series controller models feature SpaNET’s innovative variable heater technology. With real-time current sensing the variable heater will automatically alter its power level (kW) to match the residual power available (amperage) after considering any operating accessory loads (i.e. jet pumps, air blowers). The benefit is that you can take advantage of a larger heater size for faster heat recovery and rest easy knowing this same heater will automatically reduce its size to maximise heating input when accessory loads are operating. The variable heater is automatically controlled and does not require adjustment. SV Series spa controller models that include the variable heater can be identified by a “–VH” suffix to the controller model number (i.e. SV3-VH).
Heat Pump Interface
The SV Series spa controls are the first in the world to feature a dedicated expansion module for seamless integration of an energy efficient heat pump to the spa heating / cooling contr0l system. The SV heat pump interface revolutionises spa temperature control. We can now offer both automatic heating and cooling of the spa water (from

10°C - 40°C) all conveniently controlled via the spa-side keypad, whilst also providing greatly reduced heat recovery times which can be further reduced with the exclusive SV element boost and fast heat up cycle options. The SpaNET SV heat pump technology maintains your spa's water temperature using around 75% less energy than a conventional electric heater resulting in an eco-friendly and amazingly cost efficient appliance. If connected, the heat pump will automatically be controlled by the SV Series spa controller. If the temperature is adjusted the control system automatically responds and will use the heat pump to heat or cool where required to regulate the water to the new set temperature point. With solid state diagnostics and real time heat pump monitoring the SV series control system correctly looks after every need of the heat pump ensuring long term reliability whilst delivering absolute minimum operating costs.
Dynamic Thermal Tuning
No two spas are the same when it comes to thermal performance and heat retention. The SV control system will automatically adapt and tune itself to the thermal properties of your spa pool in its environment, day to day, season to season, to reduce demand heat cycling. Dynamic Thermal Tuning provides optimal thermal regulation whilst minimising power usage, resulting in lower daily operating costs.
PowerSAVE (Off-peak filtration and heating)
Enjoy the benefits of greatly reduced off peak power tariffs to lower your spa’s daily operating cost. The SV PowerSAVE technology controls automatic power consumption to off peak times whilst maintaining spa water temperature and daily filtration times. Simply enable PowerSAVE and set the tariff times and begin saving money.

Water Priming Mode
Purge air from plumbing system
TIPS ON FILLING SPA
•Before filling remove spa skirt and be sure that all valves in the plumbing system are fully open to maximise the amount of air that can escape the pipe work during filling
•Remove filter cartridge(s) before filling and be sure to fill the spa through the filter itself to flood the pipe work with water and minimise the chance of air pockets forming in the plumbing during the filling process.
•DO NOT fill spa by placing hose in the foot well. Filling a spa this way will create a large number of air pockets in the pipe work and may cause difficulty when priming. Always fill spa through the filter area.
•Once the spa is filled to the correct level attempt to power up the spa with the filter cartridges still removed. Verify that the spa controller completes its priming sequence and begins normal operation. Once normal operation has been verified turn mains power off, re-install filter cartridge(s) and restart spa.
Every time the power is turned on the SV controller will initiate a water priming sequence on start up. During a priming sequence the filtration pump will run for up to 20 seconds at a time in an attempt to purge air from the plumbing. The keypad display will scroll PRIMING during this sequence.
If the spa controller is successful in clearing all of the air from the heater tube the system will begin normal operation. However if air is still detected the spa controller will shut down and latch on fault code (ER3-Water Prime).
How do I solve ER-3 WATER PRIME:
Press Pump A button to retry water priming sequence
Check spa is filled to correct operating level as advised by spa manufacturer (refill if necessary)
Remove filter cartridge(s) and retry water prime
With mains power turned OFF, bleed airlock from pipe work by slightly loosening couplings on front of filtration pump and allowing air to escape
With filter cartridge(s) removed use hose to flush water down pipe work in an attempt to clear the air pockets from the plumbing
WARNING
RESTRICTION OF WATER FLOW DUE TO DIRTY FILTER CARTRIDGES IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ER-3 FAULTS. IF THE SPA POOL HAS BEEN OPERATING NORMALLY THEN INTERMITTENT ER-3 FAULTS START TO OCCUR THE FILTER CARTRIDGE(S) WILL REQUIRE SERVICING.
DEPENDING ON TYPE OF FILTER CARTRIDGE(S) INSTALLED THE FILTERS WILL EITHER REQUIRE CLEANING, SOAKING IN A FILTER CARTRIDGE DEGREASER SOLUTION OR REPLACING. REFER TO SPA RESELLER / MANUFACTURER FOR DETAILS ON TYPE OF CARTRIDGE INSTALLED AND RECOMMENDED CLEANING FREQUENCY & METHODS.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not allow the filtration pump to continue to run after five (5) x failed priming attempts. Operating a pump without water for extended periods may cause damage to the pump. Turns power off, wait ten (10) minutes and then try again later.
The in-heater water sensor constantly monitors the presence of water in the heater tube. If at any time air bubbles are detected the spa controller will automatically cancel all current operations and force a water priming sequence to begin. This will occur whether the spa is in automatic mode or manual use. If the priming sequence is successful in clearing the air pockets from the plumbing normal spa operation will resume in automatic mode. If unsuccessful the spa controller will shut down and latch on fault code ER-3 Water Prime.

Display Modes
Water Temperate / Set Temperature / Time
IMPORTANT NOTES
•A ten (10) second idle time out period exists on non-default display modes. If the display mode is changed the screen will time out and return to the default display after ten seconds of idle activity has elapsed (i.e. no button presses).
•At times the WTMP icon will not appear and the temperature reading may take a while to update. This is normal and results from the SV control updating and performing dynamic thermal tuning to your spa and its environment. If this occurs, the filtration pump may need to run for up to ten (10) minutes before the WTMP readout is refreshed.
The SV keypads feature three different display modes to select from:
