Startup Procedures
IMPORTANT:
Your Arctic Spa has been thoroughly tested during the manufacturing process to
ensure reliability and long-term customer satisfaction. Before filling the spa, wipe
the spa shell clean with a soft rag.
The following instructions must be read and followed exactly to ensure a successful start-up or refill.
1)
Ensure the electrical connections have been made in accordance with this manual and that the
supply cable has not been damaged in any way.
2)
Ensure all O-Rings have been installed into unions and unions have been tightened sufficiently.
3)
Ensure all ball valves are open, and the drain has been closed.
4)
Using a garden hose with a pre-filter, fill the spa with pre-filtered water to the bottom of the pil-
lows (or approximately 6” / 15 cm above the base of the floating weir).
5)
Once the spa is filled to the proper level, turn the power to the spa on, by turning on the RCD
breaker in your panel.
6)
The jet pump, heating system and all internal plumbing will achieve a partial prime as the spa is
filled. To check the operation of the jet system and to remove any remaining air from the
plumbing system, follow these steps:
a) All Models: Push the Pump 1 button twice to turn the pump to high speed. Allow to run for 1
minute.
b) Signature, Ultra, and Legend series: Push Pump 2 button also. This pump runs at high
speed only. Run for one minute.
c) Legend series only: Push Pump 3 button also. This pump runs at high speed only.
Run for one minute.
Once the jet system is fully operational (as indicated by strong, non-surging
jets), priming of the spa is complete. Push each Pump button once to turn the
pumps off.
IMPORTANT:
Weak or surging jets are an indication of a low water,
a clogged filter cartridge, or an improperly adjusted filter weir.
7)
Adjust the chemicals and balance the water according to your dealer’s
instructions. A guideline is also included in this manual, under the Water
Maintenance Section.
8)
Set the temperature control to the desired temperature (between 38°C and
40°C or 100ºF and 104ºF), then place the insulated cover on the spa and allow
CAUTION!
Do Not turn on power
to the spa until the
spa is filled to the
required level. Running
the spa pump without
water could cause im-
mediate damage and in-
validate your warranty!
