ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION The following information is provided for hooking up electrical supply to your new spa. A qualified, licensed, electrician must perform this work. Failure to follow these instructions will terminate all warranty coverage and can cause serious injury or death. Your 60Hz Artesian spa is preset at the factory to run on 240V with a 48 amp maximum input. This feature gives you the most performance out of your spa. This will require a 240V, 60-amp GFCI.
1343
50 Hz Electrical Installation Single Service: (1 X 16 Amps or 1 X 32 Amps) This option is configured and shipped as the default.
Picture of System Box Terminal Connection for 60Hz Connect the each color to its respective terminal block location. The Ground (green) wire must be connected to the grounding terminal which is outside of the System box. The Grounding wire must first enter the system box and then access the grounding terminal via a hole on the side of the box adjacent to the grounding terminal as shown in the picture above.
PROCEDURE FOR 120VAC CONVERSION Verify that the required equipment attached to the VS Series spa control is rated for 120VAC When using 120VAC service, the effective heater output will be 25% of the 240VAC rating. Example: A 5.5kW @240VAC heater becomes approximately 1.25kW@120VAC 1. Verify that power is disconnected prior to performing any work on the system. 2. Add jumper wire (14AWG minimum) from White AC voltrex (typically J11) to Red AC voltrex (typically J32).

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.
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.
SPA START-UP cont... FILLING THE SPA WITH WATER cont... 4) Fill the spa to the bottom of the pillows. Note: DO NOT OVER-FILL YOUR TUB! 5) 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. 6) Replace both filters. TURNING THE POWER ON Turn the power to the spa on at the main circuit breaker. Verify that your spa has no error codes.
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.
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.
Topside Controller Instructions Initial Start up / Setting the Time of Day Topside control for Island models After the spa has been powered up and the topside controller is finished displaying “Pr”, the user may control the various pumps, lights, temperature of the water, filter cycles, and choose between different modes of operation from this topside controller.
Light/ Mode/ Jets Light Press the “Light” button to turn the light on and off. If left on, the light automatically turns off after 4 hours. Mode The mode is changed by pressing the up or down arrow then the mode key. Standard Mode is programmed to maintain the desired temperature. Note that the last measured spa temperature is current only when the pump has been running for at least 1 minute. “St” will be displayed momentarily when you switch into Standard Mode.
Topside Controller Instructions cont... Preset Filter Cycles/ Optional Filter Cycles Preset Filter Cycles The first filter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00am and operates the low speed of pump one* (or the circulation pump if spa is equiped) until 10:00am. The second filter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00pm and operated the low speed of pump 1 until 10:00pm. the low speed of pump one and the ozone generator will run during filtration.
Topside Controller Instructions cont... Temp/Set (80°F - 104°F / 26°C - 40°C)/ Freeze Protection Temp/Set (80°F - 104°F / 26°C - 40°C) The start-up temperature is set to 100°F/37°C. The Last measures temperature is constantly displayed on the LCD. NOTE: The last measured spa temperature displayed is current only when the pump has been running for at least 1 minute. To display the set temperature, press the “Cool” or “Warm” pad once.
Diagnostic Messages Temperature unknown. After the pump has been running for 2 minutes, the temperature will be displayed “Overheat” - The spa has shut down. One of the sensors has detected 118°F/48°C at the heater. DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. Remove the spa cover and allow water to cool. Once the heater has cooled, reset by pushing any button. If spa does not reset, shut off the power to the spa and call your dealer or service organization. “Overheat” - The spa has shut down.
Diagnostic Messages cont... Sensors are out of balance. If alternating with spa temperature, it may just be a temporary condition. If flashing by itself, spa is shut down. If your the problem dealer or persists, contact service organization. A significant difference between temperature sensors has been detected. This could indicate a flow problem. Check water level in spa. Refill if necessary. If the water level is okay, make sure the pumps have been primed.
MAINTAINING YOUR SPA DRAINING YOUR SPA Your spa needs to be drained, cleaned, waxed, and refilled about every six months. More frequent water changes may be necessary if bather load is heavy. A hose bib has been provided below the left side of your front access panel, to assist you in draining your spa. 1) Turn off the power to your spa. If you fail to turn the power off, vital components could be damaged. Do not leave an empty spa exposed for long periods of time in hot, sunny weather.
JET CARE We recommended that you clean your jets when you drain your spa. 1) Spray jet inserts with a mixture of 1 part vinegar to two parts warm water and let soak for 10 - 15 minutes. Periodically rotate the spinner nozzle to break up residue in the jets.
MAINTAINING YOUR SPA cont... REMOVING, INSTALLING AND CLEANING FILTERS These are the steps needed to successfully replace your filters.You should replace your disposable spa filters and clean your nondisposable filters every four months. 1) Turn off all power to your spa and remove the filter lid by lifting it out towards you. 2) Turn the filter counterclockwise and remove it from the filter well. 3) Dispose of the used filter. 5) To replace, set screen back into its place and turn clockwise to fasten.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA It is not recommended that you drain your spa completely during freezing conditions. We recommend that you leave your spa full of water with the power on to keep the tub from freezing. If you decide to drain your spa during freezing conditions, contact your dealer for help. Contact your Artesian dealer before refilling a drained spa in freezing temperature. WARNING: Damage to your spa caused by freezing is NOT covered under warranty.
MAINTAINING YOUR SPA cont... SPA CABINET CARE Your spa comes standard with a PermaWood, or faux wood, cabinet. This cabinet requires no maintenance. You may wish to clean the cabinet with mild soap and water from time to time. If you elected to purchase your spa with a wood cabinet, this cabinet is stained and sealed with an oil based acrylic stain. The stain is formulated especially for spa cabinet and deck applications and is resistant to ultraviolet light damage caused by sun rays.
you with the proper cleaning solution for your spa. After cleaning, make sure all residues are removed prior to filling the spa. This will help prevent sudsing and improper chemical balance. COVER CARE Cleaning of your spa cover is an important part of routine maintenance. Dirt acts as an abrasive to the vinyl topcoat, and can also cause wear to folds, seams, and stitching. Mildew growing on damp, dirty vinyl will begin to actually root in the fabric, accelerating failure.
MAINTAINING YOUR SPA cont... CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF WATER Water from your tap is fine for showers, bathing and drinking. However, in a contained recirculating system such as in a spa, water must be treated with chemicals. The main purpose of chemical treatment is to keep the water sanitary and to maintain a specific balance of the water. Proper balance ensures that the water will not cause irritation to the users or harm the spa’s components. Chemical treatment does have its limitations.
WATER CHEMISTRY CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic guidelines when handling the chemicals 1. Always read and follow the directions on the label, unless directed otherwise. 2. Never mix different chemicals. 3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of chemicals—follow the directions on the label. 4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children and pets. 5. Keep containers closed tightly when not in use.
WATER CHEMISTRY cont... WATER TREATMENT GLOSSARY cont... The effects of low PH can be rapid sanitizer loss, eye and skin irritation, expedited corrosion of metals, as well as staining throughout the spa. High PH can result in cloudy water, low sanitizer efficiency, as well as eye and skin irritation. 3 - Parts per Million (PPM): The term “parts pre million” will be used frequently in the world of water care.
9 - Organic Matter: These are carbon-derived substances typically generated by living organisms. In a spa, they are most frequently introduced into the water by bathers. Enzyme products such as Spa Perfect by Natural Chemistry are most effective at eliminating organic matter from your body of water. 10 - Microorganisms: This term refers to tiny, living organisms such as bacteria, protozoa, or algae.
WATER CHEMISTRY cont... WATER TREATMENT GLOSSARY cont... 17 - Chloramines: irritating, odorous forms of combined chlorine, formed by the reaction of chlorine with nitrogen containing waste products. Chloramines are ineffective as a pool or spa sanitizer. High levels of chloramines can cause the problems of “Red Eyes” or “Stinging Eyes.” Usually requires a shock treatment to lower or destroy the combined chlorine level.
of erosion and do not require electrical components. Most include some type of replaceable cartridge, that contains the copper, silver or zinc materials. 24 - Biguanide: the generic name for a non-chlorine, non-bromine, sanitizer that utilizes the polymer PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide). It is used to totally eliminate the use of chlorine or bromine. 25 - Biofilm: a slippery coating of microorganisms that can develop in poorly sanitized pools and spas.
WATER CHEMISTRY cont... SPA CHEMICALS GLOSSARY 1 - Alkalinity Up: The total alkalinity of your spa water should be between 80-140 PPM.

WATER CHEMISTRY cont... MAINTAINING THE PROPER pH BALANCE The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or alkalinity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa. Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is not maintained within this range. If the pH level exceeds 7.
