Title: Tiger River Bengal tub operation
Post by: rocks911 on April 23, 2012, 08:08:28 am
I just installed a 2007 Tiger River Bengal spa in my back yard.
Operation of the spa seems pretty straightforward but I was wondering about programming this thing. The manual is a little weak.
Can I program the tub to cycle on and off? I'm concerned about electricity use and dont need the thing at 104 degrees through the night.
What are the settings past 104 degrees for? If I continue to press the temp button I get ut1, ut2, ut3...what are these all about?

This is a question I've gotten a few times on spas. Your brand is well insulated and while I don't think you can cycle the heater on and off like you want, you really don't need to. Set it to your temp and enjoy it. If you go out a town for a couple weeks then you can lower it.

If you want you can try this little test. Set the temp to 104 as you like it but then when its up to temp lower it down to 90º and close the cover. By lowering the temp that far you’ve disabled the heater and then you can monitor the temp to see how well it holds. Leave it closed for a couple days without using it but once or twice a day open it just long enough to just check the temp. If its as well insulated as I believe you'll find the spa holds the heat very well even though your heater won't have been running.

Tiger River has a 24hr Circ. Pump...there is nothing to program, set your temp and let it run
