turtlehead Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I just moved into a new rental and we scored a sweet deck that includes a set in hot tub by Freeflow. I was trying to get the settings right so that the thing would heat up. I think I've finally figured that part out, but now I'm trying to figure out what all the other controls there were showing up on the control panel meant. Specifically, the jets were showing "F2, F4, F6, F8, and F..?" I forget what the last one was... but it wasn't an "f" followed by a numbered, but rather by another letter. Just trying to find out if these are just jet settings or what? Also, the hot tub was left at 86 temp, so I tried to turn it on tonight for a quick dip... but the thing was taking AGES to heat up... any idea on how long it should take for a tub like this to come to temperature, say from 86 to 99? (it seems like a super basic model) Thanks a ton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStar Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 The F2, F3, F4..... means filtration cycles. For example if you want the tub to filter 2 hours during the am and 2 hours in the pm set it to F2. More filtation for more use! Your unit is probaly a 110 unit and its going to take a while to heat up, maybe 4 degress an hour.

turtlehead Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Sweet! Thanks for that! So, if I'm using the hot tub say 4-5 nights a week, should I have the settings any higher than F2? I'll definitely be roaming your website some more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
