All Sundance 880 owners.
We have had our Optima for a few weeks, and absolutely love it. We are enjoying it (sometimes) twice per day. We use different combination of Jets and Air controls and enjoy the nice variations.
We are a bit confused by a few things; WATERFALL, HEATER, CYCLE interaction. Let me explain/clarify:
We do not understand how/when the WATERFALL "should" come on, and when it should "not" come on. . I DO understand the dial knob - that turns up to 4 full turns. My question/issue is different from that dial knob. Plz read on.
First, let meet state up front that our
HEATER mode is in
STANDARD. (I mention this because i think that it may play a role in the issue/question below). And we have left the cycle times to the default 12am, 6am, 12noon, 6pm times.
Last night, the WATERFALL WAS ON AS WE GOT OUT OF THE SPA. We turned OFF BOTH PUMPS - and then THE WATERFALL TURNED OFF at the same time. (I did NOT turn the waterfall control knob to the off position). I will repeat, when we turned OFF both PUMPS (last night) the WATERFALL also turned OFF.
This morning, when i went to check the spa, THE WATERFALL WAS ON. (recall that last night, I had left the waterfall control knob in the on position).
This morning:
The temperature reading was only 100. (Last night, someone must have accidentally turned down the temperature set number as we were enjoying the pumps, and lights).
The "ozone" icon was on.
The "heater" icon was NOT on.
THE WATERFALL WAS ON.
We normally prefer the spa closer to 103-104, so i raised the temperatue "set number" back to 104.
3 hours later:
I went back out, about 3 hours later. The temperature was now 105. (Its warm outside)
The "ozone" icon was ON.
The "heater" icon was NOT on.
THE WATERFALL WAS STILL ON.
Since 105 was too high
I LOWERED the TEMP SET VALUE 103.
THE WATERFALL IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF.
AND, the "ozone" light went OFF at the same time.
This is probably all normal, and i just need to understand how it works.
Can someone assist me, and provide a user friendly explanation of how it works (and if what i am seeing is normal) ?
thanks.
When should the ozone light be on, or not?
When should the waterfall stay on, or not?
There seems to be a connection between the waterfall (coming on after being left in the on position), and whether the ozonator is on or not, and maybe if the heater is on or not ??
