Hi everyone, can anyone tell me the difference between std, eco and sleep. I know in standard i can heat my spa and the filters run twice daily for 2 hours automatically. On sleep the filter also run twice daily for 2 hours automatically and so im not sure what 'eco' does or why i shouldnt just leave it on std all the time
im bamboozeled! :-\
Also, can anyone tell me how long their pa takes to heat, for me it takes hours and hours to heat just 3 degrees

My previous soft tub, which was 250 gallons had a 1kw heater.
It would take 36 hours to take this from a 14 degree tap temperature to a sizzling 40 degree tub temperature.
I worked on a degree per hour as a rule of thumb.

Hi Ezzo.
I just googled it, and it appears that Standard Mode, is constantly heating the water, until it reaches its goal, and will then switch on and off as required.
Eco will only heat during the 2 hour filter cycle.
and sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep is a 2 hour filter cycle only (no heat)
Not sure if this applies to your tub, but it seems a common program.

This is typically how it works.

Though it can depend on the BRAND of the spa...
