The spa can be wired with one 32 amp 230 volt single circuit, two 16 amp circuits or three 16 amp circuits (three phase).
WARNING: Fill the spa with water before turning on the power. Once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all of the circuit breakers. NOTE: If the RCD breaker trips immediately, verify that the BLUE neutral wire is connected into the load neutral in the breaker. Each breaker should be tested prior to each use. Here’s how: 1. Push the “TEST” button on each RCD breaker, and observe it click OFF. 2.
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.
the water temperature to stabilize (approximately 16 hours). Make sure you secure the cover in place using the cover locks. Periodically check the spa water temperature. When the water temperature climbs above 29°C, proceed to the next step. 9) Test and Adjust Sanitizer level (Chlorine ideal 1 - 3 ppm or Bromine ideal 3 - 5 ppm). 10) You can set the temperature (between 38°C and 40°C, 100°F to 104°F) by pressing the TEMP ( ) and TEMP ( ) buttons on the control panel.
Jets Five Inch (5”) Jets The five-inch Hydro-massage jets have two different nozzle options: Tri-face single pulse, Tri-face double pulse, the Tri-face jets give a wide circular massage. These jets are adjustable by turning the face of the jet counter-clockwise for a stronger flow and clockwise for a softer flow and eventually off. Three Inch (3”) Jets The three-inch Hydro-massage jets have three nozzle options: The two above, plus directional jets.
Topside Control Panel Your spa control has been specifically designed so that by simply connecting the spa to a properly grounded source, and following the start-up procedures in this manual, the spa will automatically heat to the set temperature. Many other functions, such as filtration, safety checks and maintenance reminders have been automated so that your spa experience will be as carefree as possible.

Spa Care and Maintenance Your Arctic Spa is manufactured from the highest quality, most durable materials available. Even so, the spa care and maintenance program you develop will ultimately determine how long your spa and its individual components will last. Regular maintenance following the advice in this section will help you to protect your investment.
Filtration System Important: The use of Clarifiers and Foam inhibitors is not recommended with Arctic Pure® Disposable filters! Arctic Spas® are equipped with balanced filtration, meaning that the filter cartridges are sized to meet the needs of the pump system. As with any water filtering system, the filter cartridge may become clogged, resulting in reduced water flow. It is important to maintain a clean, unobstructed filter system.

Water Maintenance It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the least understood, but very important areas of spa ownership. Your dealer can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content, how often you use your spa, and how many people use it. Here is our suggested step-by-step program: General Information There are three fundamental areas of water maintenance.
• Rinse the test cells before and after each use. • Do not dispose of test samples into the spa water. • When adding drops of chemicals from the kit (the reagents) into the test block, hold the bottle vertically and add the drops slowly to be sure the correct quantity is used. • The reagents should be replaced on a yearly basis to maintain the accuracy of the test results. Basic Chemical Safety When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions precisely.
circulation of water can cause the erosion of metals from spa equipment which can present possible scaling and staining problems in your spa. To remove these simply fill your spa with the Pre-Filter. In extreme cases of source water with high minerals (such as some well water): 1. We recommend you add 3 1/2 tablespoons (48 grams) of Arctic Pure® Best Defense per 1000 litres (265 gallons) of water while filling your spa. 2.
If the pH is too high, it can be decreased by adding Arctic Pure® Adjust Down to the spa water. 5. It is important to check the pH on a regular basis. The pH will be affected by the bather load, the addition of new water, the addition of various chemicals, and the type of sanitizer used. 6. When the pH is within the recommended range, proceed to the final step. Calcium Hardness (CH) 1. Most spa manufacturers recommend a Calcium Hardness (CH) level for your spa of 150-200 ppm.
Start-up: 1. Add pucks to floating dispenser and open to setting 4. 2. Add 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of Arctic Pure® Refresh per 1000 litres (265 gallons) of water. 3. Add 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of Arctic Pure® SpaBoost per 1000 litres (265 gallons) of water. 4. Test the Chlorine level. Once the chlorine reads within the ideal range (1-3 ppm) turn tablet dispenser down to 1 - 2 (more or less according to bather load). 5.
Common Spa Water Problems~Cause & Remedy PROBLEM SOLUTIONS POSSIBLE CAUSES A. Poor Filtration B. Suspended particles A. Dirty filter, clean with Arctic Pure® Filter Restore (not with disposable filter). Increase Filter cycle. B. Add Arctic Pure® Easy Clear C. Organic contaminants build up C. Shock treatment with Arctic Pure® Refresh CLOUDY WATER D. pH high D. Add Arctic Pure® Adjust Down until level reads 7.2-7.6 E. Total alkalinity high F. Combined chlorine in the water E.
Troubleshooting Spa Problems 1. Nothing functions: The RCD Breaker has tripped or there is a power failure. Test RCD Breaker. Turn breaker back on and see if spa powers up, if not contact your factory authorized dealer. 2. Spa does not heat: Check to see if the heat indicator is on or there are any error messages on the topside control panel. If the heat indicator is on and no error message appears contact your factory authorized dealer. 3.
