Installation Instructions Site Preparation Please ensure the following: • Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa. • Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where you will have easy access for periodic spa care and maintenance. • Allow adequate access to all other doors for service.
Electrical Specifications WARNING! All electrical hookups must be performed by a licensed electrician! IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS: Neutral of the GFCI must be connected to the neutral bus. Sub Panel Wiring Diagram Example Neutral from the spa must be connected to the breaker. From Electrical Box To Spa Electrical Installation Instructions ARCTIC SPAS® MUST BE WIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
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.
When the water temperature climbs above 85ºF (29ºC), proceed to the next step. 9) Test and Adjust Sanitizer level (Chlorine ideal 1 - 3 ppm or Bromine ideal 3 - 5 ppm). 10) Rotate diverters to centre position and press “Pump 2” button on topside control panel for 5 seconds to activate the “Boost filtration system”. When this system is enabled, “BOO” is displayed on the screen. This will give 45 min of circulation and filtration to disperse the chemicals.
TM Fusion Jetting System With your FusionTM Jetting System, you can control the massaging action of your spa. Using the FusionTM diverter, the jets are activated in groups, known as jet systems. The jetting systems are selected by turning the diverter from one side to the other, or select both by leaving the diverter in the middle. The number of diverters you will have will depend on the model and series of Arctic Spa you have.
Jets Single Pulse Five Inch (5”) Jets The five-inch Hydro-massage jets give a wide circular massage. These jets are adjustable by turning the face of the jet clockwise for a stronger flow and counter-clockwise for a softer flow and eventually off. Directional Single Neck Jet Pulse Three Inch (3”) Jets The three-inch hydro-massage jets have three nozzle options: The Turbo Single Pulse and the directional jets and the neck 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.
“Clean filter” reminder: If enabled, the display will start flashing every 2 weeks showing the “CLE” message. This message is displayed to remind the user to clean the filter cartridge. Press any key to reset the message. Setting the Water Temperature: Use the Up or Down arrow key to regulate the water temperature.
on when the system is put on standby The filter cycle, the Smart Winter mode (see pg 19) and the heater can’t start during this time. All keys are disabled except the On/Off key. A second long press (5 seconds) will restart the system before the 30 minutes ends. When power is first applied to the spa, it is “On” by default. Starting the Blower (Optional): Press the Blower key to turn Blower on. A second press will turn Blower off.
F 02 p FF02 FF04 Use the Up & Down arrow keys to change settings (from 0 to 2). 00 = no filtration 01 = 1 hour/cycle 02 = 2 hour/cycle When the desired setting is displayed, press Filter again. The display will show FFxx, with “xx” representing the filter cycle frequency per day. Use Up or Down arrow keys to change setting (from 1-4).
40- Minute Filter Cycle Time-out: During a Filter cycle, if an accessory (a pump, the blower, or the light) is used manually, the Filter cycle is suspended the time the accessories are used. Once all accessories are turned off (whether manually or by built-in timer), the Filtration cycle remains suspended for an extra 40 minutes. When a Filtration cycle is suspended the Filtration cycle icon will blink. Panel Lockout: It is possible to lock out all the keys.
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.
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 an Arctic Pure® disposable filter cartridge every three (3) months. Filter Cartridge Removal and Installation 1.

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. 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. Also, as water evaporates from your spa and new water is added, the amount of dissolved minerals will increase.
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 7 tablespoons (100 grams) of Arctic Pure® Refresh per 1500 litres (396 gallons) of water. 3. Add 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of Arctic Pure® Spa Boost 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.

Troubleshooting Spa Problems 1. Nothing functions: The GFCI Breaker has tripped or there is a power failure. Test GFCI 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.
