MarshallUK Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hi i am new to Hot Tubbing and need some advice please. On my control panel i have been told that if i press the light button for a few seconds it comes up with the filtration cycle adjustment. It ranges from 0 - 12..........am i right in thinking that if i select 0 it turns it off, select 1 it is one hour cycle per day, select thats 2 one hour cycles per day and so on?? I have it set on 1 but everytime i go to the tub it seems to be pumping away. Is this usual?.....do the pumps go all the time plus the filtration cycle, or should the tub be dormant for most of the time as i have selected 1?? i hope i havent confused you!

Jersey Hot Tub Repair Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Some tubs let you set the duration in actual hours, some let you choose the cycle which is a per-programmed duration. So, on some controllers, F1 is 2 hours, F2 is 4 hours, F3 is 6 hours, etc.. etc... The fact that it gives you 0-12 as an option suggests that you are preset for two cycles a day, and you choose 0-12 hours as the filter time. But if that's the case, than 1 should only run for an hour. Unless you are walking outside to check it every day at the same time and it's just coincidence that it's cycling. Is your tub heating? The few Arctic Spas I've seen use the filtering pump to push water through the heater, regardless of the filter cycle. So if you're tub is not heating properly, it's running the pumps for heating, not filtering. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castletonia Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 What you likely have is two 12 our filter cycles. If you select 1 then it will filter 1 out of 12 hours, so 2 hours total each day. When you say the hot tub is always running, it could be that the hot tin is calling for heat and that would require the pump to be running.
