Page 20 COMPONENT CONNECTION The system is set up to have components hardwired to a terminal strip inside the upper enclosure. Liquid tight conduit must be used on all externally added field connections exposed to the weather. Route and connect the conduit to the knock-outs in the back of the lower box. The wires will then enter the bottom of the upper box through another set of knock-outs.
Page 21 GAS HEATER CONNECTION Warning: Do not install a spa that utilizes a natural gas or propane heater without proper venting. These heaters require adequate ventilation and must be installed according to the heater manufacturers instructions and to local building codes. Warning: Gas heaters MUST be installed in the plumbing AFTER the control system as shown below.
Page 22 PUMP CORD INSTALLATION The equipment system has been provided with a pump power cord and liquid-tight conduit assembly. This is to be used on the main 2-speed pump supplied with the system. Any other components or accessories attached to the equipment system should be attached in a similar manner.
Page 23 AIR BLOWER INSTALLATION (Optional) CAUTION: The air blower must be connected ONLY to the spa’s air distribution plumbing. Connecting the air blower to the 18” Above Maximum Water air piping associated with the hydrotherapy jets will create a Level hazzard by providing a path for high-pressure water to be ANALU D.
Page 24 SPA LIGHT INSTALLATION To offer the most flexibility, Hydro-Quip configures each 8000 Series system so that it can accept a 120-Volt light and/or 12-Volt light. A terminal block has been provided for connection purposes. Connect your light using the illustration below. GR-L1-N 120-Volt Light Connection...

Page 26 Plus Ozone Option ▲ IMPORTANT! Plus Ozone™ generators operate at high voltage and must never come in contact with water at any time. The #42-0200 kit includes a one-way check valve that must be installed correctly to prevent the backow of water into the ozone generator. Failure to install the valve or installing the valve backwards may cause permanent damage and will void the product warranty.
Page 27: Spaside Control Installation
SPASIDE CONTROL INSTALLATION If required, you may have to cut out a hole in the spa shell to install spaside control. The mounting area must be above the maximum water level of the spa and in an area with Ÿ good drainage to prevent any standing water on or around the spaside.
Page 28: Wi-Fi Module Installation
WIFI MODULE INSTALLATION KIT (OPTIONAL) You may control your 8000 ES or CS spa system remotely using your smart phone, and/or other connected mobile device by installing the optional wifi antenna kit #34-0126E. A yard friendly connection can be established directly from peer to peer, or an intranet connection can be made through a localized router for premier global control.

Page 32 MAIN MENU NAVIGATION Navigation Navigating the entire menu structure is done with 2 or 3 buttons on the control panel. Some panels have separate WARM (Up) and COOL (Down) buttons, while others have a single Temperature button. In the navigation diagrams Temperature buttons are indicated by a single button icon.
Page 33: System Start Up
SYSTEM START-UP Preparation and Filling Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before lling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the lling process. After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel display will go through specic sequences.
Page 34: System Functions, Features & Programming
SYSTEM FUNCTIONS / FEATURES Pumps Press the “Jets 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off, and to shift between low- and high-speeds if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will time out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will time out after 15 minutes.
Page 35 TEMPERATURE SETTINGS Adjusting the Set Temperature When using a panel with Up and Down buttons (Temperature buttons), pressing Up or Down will cause the temperature to ash. Pressing a temperature button again will adjust the set temperature in the direction indicated on the button. When the LCD stops ashing, the spa will heat to the new set temperature when required.
Page 36 MODE SETTINGS Setting Modes In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. The pump that performs this function is referred to as the heater pump or main pump as the “heater pump.” The heater pump can be either a 1 or 2 speed pump.
Page 37 FILTER SETTINGS Main Filtration Filter cycles are set using a start time and a duration. Start time is indicated by an “A” (AM) or “P” (PM) in the bottom right corner of the display. Duration has no “A” or “P” indication. Each setting can be adjusted in 15-minute increments. The panel calculates the end time and displays it automatically.
Page 38: Locking And Unlocking Spaside
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING SPASIDE The control can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or temperature adjustments. Locking the panel prevents the controller from being used, but all automatic functions are still active. Locking the Temperature allows Jets and other features to be used, but the Set Temperature and other programmed settings cannot be adjusted.
Page 39 SPASIDE MESSAGES General Messages Priming Mode Each time the spa is powered up, it will enter Priming Mode. The purpose of Priming Mode is to allow the user to run each pump and manually verify that the pumps are primed (air is purged) and water is owing. This typically requires observing the output of each pump separately, and is generally not possible in normal operation.
Page 40 SPASIDE MESSAGES Heater-Related Messages Heater Flow is Reduced (HFL) – M016 There may not be enough water ow through the heater to carry the heat away from the heating element. Heater start up will begin again after about 1 min. See “Flow Related Checks” below Heater Flow is Reduced (LF)* –...
Page 41 SPASIDE MESSAGES Sensor-Related Messages Sensor Balance is Poor – M015 The temperature sensors MAY be out of sync by 2°F or 3°F. Call for Service. Sensor Balance is Poor* – M026 The temperature sensors ARE out of sync. The Sensor Balance is Poor fault has been established for at least 1 hour. Call for Service.
Page 42 SPASIDE MESSAGES System-Related Messages Memory Failure - Checksum Error* – M022 At Power-Up, the system has failed the Program Checksum Test. This indicates a problem with the rmware (operation program) and requires a service call. Memory Warning - Persistent Memory Reset* – M021 Appears after any system setup change.
Page 43 TROUBLESHOOTING The following describes operational problems, and the possible solution. Note that your system may not include all the components listed in this guide Warning: Allow only a qualied electrician, service technician or your system installer to test the electrical components and wiring NOTHING OPERATES Set GFCI breakers and quick disconnect to “on”...
Page 44 TROUBLESHOOTING PUMP STOPS DURING TIMED CYCLE Motor overheat protection has tripped, allow motor to cool before reactivating If motor continues to overheat, have an electrician check voltage and connections. PUMP SURGES OR LOSES PRIME Check for low water level, loose lid on pump, pipe leaks on suction plumbing, debris in lter or suction ttings PUMP MAKES CAVITATION OR “GRAVEL”...
Page 45 TROUBLESHOOTING LIGHT NOT WORKING Conrm operational command on spaside. Light installed should be 120v. unless installer used 12v light, and reprogrammed board wiring and logic using this manual Make sure the bulb is in the correct position in the light assy. Contact your installer or electrician to conrm wire connection, bulb operation, and light fuse OZONE NOT WORKING The ozone circuit will only work when the main pump #1 is in low speed operation.
Page 46 TROUBLESHOOTING WATER TEMPERATURES HIGHER THAN SET TEMPERATURE In warmer months, running the pump in prolonged timing cycles will add heat kinetically to the water. Shorten lter times in summer to prevent heat gain. * NOTE that frequently in warmer months; expect spa/hot tub water to settle just below ambient air temps.
Page 47: System Data Label
SYSTEM DATA LABEL The system data label is located on the control box. This label is very important and contains information you will need to establish your electrical service. The voltage and amperage ratings are shown on the bottom of the label. Product, Model, Serial and Code numbers are also shown on the label.
