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 The use of Clarifiers and Foam inhibitors is not recommended with 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.
MANUAL SAFETY COVER Care of the Spa Cover WARNING: The cover is a manual safety cover that meets or exceeds all prevailing requirements of ASTM Standards for spa safety covers when installed and used correctly as of the date of manufacture. Non-secured or improperly secured covers are a hazard. Open the cover to its fully open position before use. Be sure to inspect the cover for premature wear or deterioration. Over time, with use, there is a chance of normal cover wear and deterioration.
LED Light Replacement All Arctic Spas® come equipped with two 12 volt multicolored underwater lights for night use. The Family Light Package option comes with five lights. Should you need to change any light, follow these simple steps: 1. Make sure the lighting is turned off, by checking the topside be sure the light icon is not showing. 2. Remove the screws securing the equipment access doors; remove the doors. 3. Locate the reflector, which is secured into the light housing.
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.
