SPA START-UP cont...
Turning on the Spa for the rst time.
NOTE: When power is turned on, your spa will automatically start
out in priming mode for approximately 2 minutes indicated by “Pr”
on the topside control. During this time no components are pow-
ered. At the end of the two minute period the low speed pump will
be activated for 30 seconds followed by all of the pumps being
activated on high speed for another 30 seconds. Once the high
speed pump(s) have turned off a temperature reading will be taken.
This takes about 2 minutes for the heater to correctly display a
temperature reading to the topside control.
Adjust your temperature by pressing the “Warm” or “Cool” button
on your touchpad until the desired temperature is displayed. This
setting will allow your spa to heat to the set temperature.
CAUTION: If water is not noticeably coming from your spa jets dur-
ing the automatic purge, turn on the high speed pump. If water
is still not coming from the jets, the pump needs to be manually
primed, following the steps below.
PRIMING THE PUMP
1) Turn off power at electrical service panel.
2) Locate and loosen the pump by turning it counterclockwise one half
of one turn.
3) Allow air to escape from the tting. When a steady stream of water
ows from the pump plug, close it by turning it clockwise until tight.
4) Turn on power at electrical service panel.
5) Check once more to make sure that water is owing from the jetsdur-
ing auto purge. If so, continue. If no water is coming from your spa jets,
please call your Artesian dealer for further assistance.
WATER PREPARATION
NOTE: Before putting your new spa into operation, understand
that preparing your new water is an important part of maintenance.
Failure to properly prepare your water can result in substantially
decreasing the life of the components and may void your warranty
in severe cases. Your Artesian dealer should have a start-up and
maintenance kit available for you when you purchase your spa.
