SPA START-UP
PRIMING THE PUMP
1) Turn off power at electrical service panel.
2) Locate and loosen one of the pump union on each pump by turn-
ing it counterclockwise one half of one turn.
3) Allow air to escape from fittings. When a steady stream of water
flows from the pump union, 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
during auto purge. If so, continue. If no water is coming from your
spa jets, please call your Artesian dealer for further assistance.
CAUTION: If water is not noticeably coming from your spa jets
during 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.
WATER PREPARATION
NOTE: Before putting your new spa into operation, under-
stand that preparing your new water is an important part of
maintenance. Failure to properly prepare your water can re-
sult 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 receive your spa.
