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.

IMPORTANT: Before performing any maintenance on your spa, make a visual inspection of the

spa to get an understanding of what condition it may be in and if anything looks out of the ordi-

nary. If any part appears to be damaged, loose or missing, do not proceed. Contact your Factory

Authorized Dealer immediately.

Draining the Water

Detergent residues and dissolved solids from bathing suits and chemicals will gradually accumulate

in your spa’s water. Normally, in about three to four months the water will become difﬁcult to

balance and should be replaced. Showering without using soap prior to entering the spa or using

only the rinse cycle when laundering your bathing suit will help to reduce detergent residue in the

spa water. However, foam problems are more likely to be caused by a build up of organic pollut-

ants in the spa-mostly by body oils. If you’re using your spa frequently with a high bather load the

water will need to be replaced more often. Spa water gradually loses quality because of build ups of

unﬁlterable pollutants.

IMPORTANT: Remember to change your water every three to four months.

To Drain Your Spa:

1. Shut off the RCD breaker located in the subpanel or the quick disconnect.

2. Locate the main drain valve for the spa, on the outside of the cabinet to the right of the

equipment compartment. Attach the male threaded end of a garden hose to the drain valve, and

route the other end of the hose to an appropriate draining area.

3. Open the valve by turning the large outside ring counterclockwise. The spa will drain by

gravitational ﬂow.

Note: All Arctic Spas

models will drain through the ﬂoor drain. Equipment such as the

pump(s) and heater will drain. All models will leave a small amount of water in the footwell. Any

water remaining in the plumbing or equipment after draining will only need to be removed if the

spa is being winterized.

4. When empty, inspect the spa shell and clean as required.

5. Close the drain valve.

6. Reﬁll the spa BEFORE restoring power.

IMPORTANT: With reusable ﬁlters, it is necessary to rinse the ﬁlter cartridges weekly. Every

month, and each time the spa is drained for cleaning, clean the cartridges in ﬁlter cleaner . (With

Arctic Spas

disposable ﬁlters, simply replace the cartridge whenever the spa is drained, or about

every three months).
