Setting filtration run time

17 September, 2024

FILT – Total Filtration run time (hours per day)

Total filtration run time per day can be set via the Setup menu (see heading below). Simply hold down both the UP & DOWN arrow buttons at the same time. Then toggle through the menu options with either arrow button until the screen displays FILT. Press OK, then use the arrow buttons to select the number of hours per day your spa will filter for. Press OK to confirm.

NOTE: All time spent running the pump under normal operation (manual use, water temperature maintenance, sanitisation cycles) will be considered and where required the pump will run for additional periods throughout the day to maintain the minimum level of daily filtration as specified by the user.

F.CYC – Filtration Cycle Blocks

This setting defines the maximum number of hours the spa is allowed to sit still between filtration cycles, during the awake period.

On an SV Mini 1 or SV Mini 2 controller this number is fixed at 3 hours. However, on the premium SV range of controllers it can be adjusted via the setup menu. Hold down both the UP & DOWN arrow buttons at the same time. Then toggle through the menu options with either arrow button until the screen displays F.CYC. Press OK, then use the arrow buttons to select the number of hours between filtration blocks. Press OK to confirm.

Entering the Setup menu

The SV controllers feature an advanced setup menu which allows customisation of the adjustable controller settings.

Important Notes

The setup menu item settings are stored in non-volatile memory (EEPROM) and are remembered when power is turned off. No need to reprogram settings when power is restored.

A ten (10) second idle menu time out period exists. If a button press is not detected for 10 seconds, the menu will time out and the screen will return to the default display mode.
