Freeze/Overheat Protection System
StandardFreeze Protection System
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the spa control system will automatically activate the pumps to provide freeze protection. Moving water is unable to freeze, so the system will either run the pumps continuously or periodically depending on conditions.
Freeze Protection System
When sensing a water temperature above 108°F (42°C), the system will automatically shut down the heater until the temperature falls below 108°F (42°C). Once below 108°F (42°C), the system will resume normal operation.
