The TYPE setting on a SpaNET controller is vital for pump configuration, heating & touchpad functionality. When the TYPE value is set incorrectly it will impact the function of your spa dramatically. Common symptoms are pump buttons functions have changed and are controlling different pumps/blower compared to normal, spa overheating, jet pump running at times other than during daily sanitise cycle.
The TYPE value must be set to match your Spa control model. Eg. If you have an SV2 controller the correct TYPE setting is SV2.
The touchpad you have fitted will determine how to navigate to the TYPE setting. See options below.
