Filtration System
The use of Clarifiers and Foam inhibitors is not recommended with dispos
-
able 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 an 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 telescoping filter cylinder
3. Unscrew the filter cartridge and either clean the reusable filter or discard the disposable filter.
4. Re-thread the clean or new filter.
5. Slide the telescoping filter cylinder back into the filter bucket.
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. Pull the pillow directly upwards until it is fully extended. Next to the acrylic of the shell, there
is a button that you press to allow you to pull the pillow upwards and out completely.
2. To reinstall the spa pillow, push the button and carefully insert pillow.
Care of the Spa Shell
Your Arctic Spa®
has a fiberglass reinforced, Aristech
® 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 chemi-
cals are harmful to your spa’s shell. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or vinegar can also be used for
minor surface cleaning. Always thoroughly 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
concentration of dissolved minerals.
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.
