Artesian spa headrest parts and replacement inserts

Artesian is a hot tub and spa brand, and like every spa manufacturer it builds its shells, headrests and trim to its own patterns. That matters when something needs replacing: a pillow, an insert or a piece of trim from another make rarely sits correctly in an Artesian headrest, because the fixing positions and the recess shape are specific to the model. Here we list Artesian-coded components so that a replacement matches the original rather than approximating it.

The part on this page is the pillow logo insert for Artesian Spas headrests, part code OP11-0211-77. It is the badged centre piece that sits in the face of the headrest pillow. It is a cosmetic component rather than a plumbing or electrical one, so it can be swapped without draining the spa, but it is also one of the items most often asked for after a few seasons of sun, spa chemicals and towels being dragged across the cabinet edge.

Was das Sortiment umfasst

Headrest assemblies on a spa are usually made up of several separate items, which is why ordering by description alone causes confusion. Typical components include:

• Pillow body: the foam-filled or moulded cushion itself, shaped to the shell.
• Logo insert or badge: the branded centre panel fitted into the face of the pillow, such as OP11-0211-77.
• Befestigungsmaterial: the pins, clips or brackets that hold the pillow in the shell recess.
• Trim and surrounds: cosmetic pieces that finish the edge where the pillow meets the acrylic.

If the cushion is still sound and only the badge has faded, lifted or come away, replacing the insert alone restores the look of the spa without the cost of a complete pillow.

Why pillows and inserts deteriorate

Spa headrests sit at the hardest-working point in the whole tub. They are above the waterline, so they take direct sunlight and, at the same time, they are repeatedly splashed with treated water and then left to dry. The combination of UV exposure and sanitiser residue is what breaks down surface finishes and adhesives over time. Common symptoms are a badge that has gone chalky or discoloured, edges that have started to curl away from the pillow face, or an insert that has simply fallen out and been lost.

Two habits make a replacement last longer. Rinse headrests with fresh water occasionally rather than leaving dried chemical residue on them, and lift the pillows out when the spa is being shock-dosed or left uncovered in strong sun for long periods. Avoid solvent-based cleaners on any badged or printed surface.

Das richtige Teil finden

Spa part numbers are the only reliable way to order. Codes such as OP11-0211-77 identify one specific item in one specific fitment, and visually similar parts across model years can differ in size or fixing layout. Before ordering, it helps to work through the following:

• Find the code: check the reverse of the old insert or pillow, where the moulded or printed part number is often located.
• Note the spa model and year: this is usually on the data plate inside the equipment bay door.
• Measure the recess: take the width and height of the opening in the pillow face, and the depth, in millimetres.
• Check how it is retained: note whether the old part was bonded, clipped or located in a lip, so you know what to expect on removal.
• Photograph the assembly: an image of the headrest in situ before removal makes refitting straightforward.

Where an exploded view or parts diagram is available for the spa, compare the position number on the drawing with the code on the part itself. If the two disagree, trust the code stamped on the component.

Einbauhinweise

Cosmetic inserts come away more easily when the pillow is warm and flexible, so work on a mild day or let the pillow sit indoors for a while rather than forcing a cold, stiff component. Clean out any old adhesive or debris from the recess before fitting the new piece, and press it home evenly rather than starting at one corner. If the pillow itself has gone hard, split along a seam or lost its shape, a new insert will not fix that and the cushion should be replaced as well.

Artesian at PoolParthub.com

Here you will find Artesian-coded spa components, starting with headrest and pillow parts such as the logo insert OP11-0211-77. These are the small items that keep an existing spa looking as it should, long after the original pillow trim has faded.

Everything is listed under its manufacturer part number so that it can be matched against the old component or a parts diagram with confidence. If a code is known, searching for it directly is the quickest route; if not, the measurements and model details noted above are enough to narrow down the correct item before ordering.
