    Rick what your are seeing is the blb or (bulb) message. This is an indication that your ClearRay bulb needs to be replaced and your quartz tube cleaned. I would recommend you do this before resetting your countdown timer.

    To reset your countdown timer hold the Jet 1 and cooler buttons for 3 seconds, you will see your filter cycle indicator come up. At this point press the warmer button until you see 0.

    Once you see 0 press the Jet 1 button and your ClearRay countdown timer should reset. If the countdown timer was at 0 the Jet 1 button will reset it. If the countdown timer was not at 0 the Jet 1 button will not reset it. All of this info is also on page 32 of your owners manual. If all else fails contact our Service Support Desk to book service of your ClearRay system.

    I own a 2010 Jacuzzi J300 hot tub and this morning the 616 code flashed on my LED display. I am also 100% certain that I have the ozonator system instead of the UV bulb system. Using your instructions above, the 616 code cleared. My question is this,, does this mean my ozonator has craped out and needs replacing.

      Mike usually the ClearRay bulb countdown timer is set for 365 days. Depending on the type of ozone unit you have installed ie Uv or Corona discharge they start having diminished impact after 1-3 years. If you require a new ozone unit visit our online store at http://www.aqua-tech.ca. Click on Parts And Accessories and then click on the big yellow button Prices and Availability. You can attach a picture of your current ozone unit and plug here for id purposes.

      David these are the instructions: 12.8 Programming the CLEARRAY® (Ultraviolet) Water

      seven times to enter the programming mode.
      The LCD screen will display “U.” At this time the system is ready to
      accept your changes.
      1. Press the (SELECT) button once. The current status of the
      CLEARRAY System appears on the LCD display, either “ON” or
      “OFF.”
      2. Press the (UP) or (DOWN) button to change the status
      of the CLEARRAY System from either “ON” to “OFF.”

      days or the LCD display is flashing “blb.” Pressing the (UP) button at any other reading will not change it
