SPA START-UP cont...
Turning on the Spa for the first 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 powered. 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 touch pad 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 fitting. When a steady stream of water
flows 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 flowing from the jets dur
-
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 avail
-
able for you when you purchase your spa.
