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. We recommend that your
filter cartridge be replaced with a Arctic Pure
®
disposable filter cartridge every three (3) months.
Filter Cartridge Removal and Installation
1. Put the spa in Standby mode using the on/off button on the topside control panel.
2. Remove the filter basket by rotating the top outside ring counterclockwise and lifting.
3. Remove the filter cartridge.
4. Clean any debris out of the skimmer basket.
5. To reinstall the filter cartridge, reverse the order of steps in which it was removed.
Care of Spa Pillows
The spa pillows used in many of the Arctic Spas
®
models will provide years of comfort if treated
with care. They have been positioned above the water level to minimize the bleaching effects of
chlorinated water and other spa water chemicals. To extend their life, whenever the spa shell is being
cleaned, the spa pillows should be removed and cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild soap
and water solution. ALWAYS rinse off the spa pillows thoroughly to remove any soap residue. The
pillows can be conditioned with Arctic Pure
®
Cover Renew cleaner after cleaning. If the spa is not
going to be used for a long period of time (that is, during a vacation or if the spa is being
winterized), or when the spa water is being super-chlorinated, the spa pillows should be removed
until the next use of the spa.
To remove and replace the spa pillows:
1. Carefully slide the pillow up and away from the spa shell.
IMPORTANT: Just pulling the pillow straight out of the shell recess will damage the pillow. This
is not covered under warranty.
2. To reinstall the spa pillow, carefully slide the pillow down into the spa pillow recess.
Care of the Spa Shell
Your Arctic Spa has a fibreglass reinforced, Lucite
®
cast acrylic shell. Stains and dirt generally will
not adhere to your spa’s surface. A soft cloth or sponge should easily remove most dirt. Most
household chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell.
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or vinegar can be used for minor surface cleaning. Always thor-
oughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
Service Notes:
1. Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Your Arctic
Spas® Dealer stocks Arctic Pure
®
Best Defence to use if your spa water has a high concentra-
tion of dissolvedminerals.
2. The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell surface
is NOT recommended. DO NOT use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents
since they may damage the shell surface. Damage to the shell by the use of harsh chemicals is not
covered under the warranty.
