SAFETY WARNINGS
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ ALL OF THESE
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS PRIOR TO USING YOUR SPA.
PLEASE, be a responsible spa owner. When installing and using this
spa, always adhere to basic safety precautions. Be sure to list
emergency telephone numbers at the telephone nearest the spa,
including physician, hospital, ambulance, police, and the fi re
department. Be certain to explain safety precautions to all new or
occasional users of your spa. Remember, they may not be aware
of the possible risks associated with the spa water temperature.
Have at least one family member learn CPR (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation). IT COULD SAVE A LIFE!
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
2. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to
use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
3. A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum
8 AWG (8.4 mm ) solid copper conductor between this unit and
any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment,
metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the unit.
4. DANGER - Risk of Accidental Drowning - Extreme caution must
be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid
accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are
supervised at all times.
5. DANGER - Risk of Injury - The suction fi ttings in this area are sized
to match the specifi c water fl ow created by the pump. Should the
need arise to replace the suction fi ttings or the pump, be sure the
fl ow rates are compatible.
Never operate spa if the suction fi ttings are broken or missing.
Never replace a suction fi tting with one rated less than the fl ow rate
marked on the original suction fi tting.
6. DANGER - Risk of Electrical Shock - Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m)
from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be within 5
feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently

READILY ACCESSIBLE LOCATION!!
SAFETY WARNINGS cont...
8. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40 C (104 F). Water
temperatures between 38 C (100 F) and 40 C are considered
safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10
minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water
temperatures to 38 C (100 F).
c) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
water temperature regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use
may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low
or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before using a spa.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using
a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other
medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
AUDIO COMPONENT WARNINGS
Spas equipped with the Audio system should follow these guide-
lines for safety:
1. CAUTION - Risk of Electrical Shock - Do not leave compartment
door open.
2. CAUTION - Risk of Electrical Shock - Replace components only
with identical components.
3. Do not operate the audio controls while inside the spa.
4. WARNING - Prevent Electrocution - Do not connect any auxillary
components (for example cable, additional speakers, headphones,

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
AND INSTALLATION
The following information is provided for hooking up electrical supply to
your new spa. A qualifi ed, licensed, electrician must perform this work.
Failure to follow these instructions will terminate all warranty coverage
and can cause serious injury or death.
Your Artesian spa is preset at the factory to run on 240V with a 48
amps input. This feature gives you the most performance out of your
spa. This will require a 240V, 60-amp GFCI. If a 60-amp service is not
available, your spa can be made to run with 32 or 40 amps input
rating. Press the SELECT key on the spa control pack to change the
input rating.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING: Your spa must be wired by a certifi ed electrician and
according to these instructions. Failure to do so will terminate all
warranties and all listings from the independant listing facility.
1) The Platinum Class Spa requires a 240 VAC dedicated
system. The spa must be hardwired to the power supply, with no
plug-in connections, extension cords, or sharing of service.
2) The spa requires that you run 6 or 8 AWG copper wire, depending
on the GFCI size. Do Not Use Aluminum Wire.
3) The power supply must have a suitable Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), according to Section 422-20 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-7987. This could be used as the
shut-off switch, which must be installed in plain view of the spa. This
electrical service must be readily accessible to the spa occupants,
but must not be within 5 feet of the spa.
4) Use only non-metallic conduit and fi ttings when installing power to
the spa.
5) After your spa has been positioned, route lines through the knockout
on the left or right front corner of the spa.
6) Connect the power to the spa.
16 17
From Electrical Box To Spa From Electrical Box To Spa

• The black and red wires from the electrical box must be connected to the input of
the GFCI.
• The white wire from the electrical box must be connected to the neutral bus.
• The green or copper wire must be connected to the ground log of the GFCI.
• The black, red and white wires going to the spa must be connected directly to the
output of the GFCI.
• The neutral of the GFCI must be connected to the neutral bus.
• The green or copper wire going to the spa must be connected to the ground log.

SPA START-UP
Please read each step of the Start-up section prior to doing the
step.
SELECTING A LOCATION
In preparation for installing your new Artesian spa, you should
ensure that your chosen location meets some minimum guidelines:
1) Place your spa on a surface that is large enough for the entire spa to
fit. Consider the space needed to easily access equipment
compartments and circuit breakers. Remember, all electronics
must be kept dry.
2) The spa must be on a solid, level foundation. Recommended: 4-
inch cement slab that has cured for at least 72 hours. Your warranty
will be voided if the spa is not properly installed. Structural damage
due to an improper foundation is not covered under warranty.
3) To avoid potential water damage to the skirt and frame, your spa
should be placed on a site where it will not be in the way of water
sprinklers.
4) OUTDOOR SPAS: Consider building codes, electrical and
plumbing codes, desired proximity to house, wind and sun exposure,
location of trees (falling leaves, shade), dressing area, landscaping
and lighting when selecting a location.
5) INDOOR SPAS: Floor surface must have traction to prevent slipping
when wet. A floor drain is optimum. As room humidity will increase
because of the spa, provide ample ventilation to prevent dry rot,
mildew and mold. Use materials that will withstand humidity. There
may be a need for cross-ventilation fans and/or dehumidifiers. The
spa chemicals may corrode some household metals. Provide ample
room if servicing should be needed. Strong foundational support is
vital, particularly if a second-story site is selected.
6) Ensure the equipment compartment is in a location where it will not
be damaged by water drainage. Cover the equipment compartment
with a heavy screen if rodents are a problem. Damage due to
rodents is not covered under warranty.
18
7) Have the spa deck installed by a knowledgeable contractor to
ensure proper support.
8). If the spa is placed on the ground, even for a short period of time,
it must be supported by stones that are at least 2 inches thick and
12 inches square. A solid foundation is recommended as soon as
possible.
INSPECTION
You will want to inspect your spa, prior to filling it up with water. Look
for and remove any debris in the spa tub and in the filter. Verify that
pump plugs are installed on the pumps and the pump unions are tight.
FILLING THE SPA WITH WATER
NOTE: DO NOT fill your spa with hot water straight out of your
water heater or tap. This water may be as hot as 180 degrees F
and will cause damage to the surface and plumbing of the spa.
This will void your warranty. Level the spa before filling.
1) Prepare to fill the tub by removing all debris.
2) Remove the filters from your spa (see Removing, Installing and
Cleaning Filters, page 33)
3) Place your garden hose in the circulation pump line.
19

SPA START-UP cont...
FILLING THE SPA WITH WATER cont...
4) Fill the tub from the circulation pump line until water level is above
the foot-well.
Note: This will purge all the air out of the circulation pump.
An air lock can cause damage to the circulation pump
and is not covered under warranty.
5) Once the water level is filled over the foot-well, you can pull the
hose out of the circulation line and continue filling the spa from the
filter well.
6) Fill the spa to the bottom of the pillows. Note: DO NOT OVER-FILL
YOUR TUB!
7) With the front panel off, verify there are no leaks at the pump
union. Note: Pump unions can become loose during shipping.
Verify that there are no leaks during filling of the spa.
8) Reinstall the circulation pump screen and all filters.
20
TURNING THE POWER ON
Turn the power to the spa on at the main circuit breaker. Verify that
your spa has no error codes. (See page 47) Verify that there is good
water circulation in the spa. The pumps will come on in cycles, for 1
minute each cycle.
VERIFYING WATER CIRCULATION
1) Open all the jets.
2) Press the Pump 1 key to turn the pumps on or off.
3) Make sure each seat has water flow. Note: On certain spas there is
a diverter valve. Verify where the diverter valve is located.
TESTING THE GFCI BREAKER
NOTE: The electrical service panel for your spa should be
equipped with a GFCI breaker. To avoid the risk of electrical
shock, perform the following safety test before each use of
your spa.
1) Make sure the power is turned on at the electrical service panel.
2) Turn on the GFCI breaker. If the breaker stays on, it is functioning
properly.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
If the GFCI breaker fails to operate as described, there is a possibility
of an electric shock if the spa is used. Shut off the power at the main
electrical service panel until the source of the problem has been
identified and corrected by a licensed electrician or qualified spa
technician.
21

SPA START-UP cont...
TESTING THE GFCI BREAKER cont...
NOTE: When power is turned on, your spa is automatically
programmed to start circulating water through the circulation
pump. Each pump and/or blower will come on consecutively for
approximately 1 minute to automatically purge the system. Adjust
your temperature by pressing the up 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
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.
PRIMING THE PUMP
1) Turn off power at electrical service panel.
2) Locate and loosen one of the pump plugs on each pump by turning
it counterclockwise one half of one turn.
3) Allow air to escape from fittings. 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
during 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
receive your spa.
