Important Safety Instructions: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including: 1) WARNING: Do not use spa if power supply cable has been damaged. 2) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children or infirm persons to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. 3) DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit hot tub water temperatures to 38°C. If pregnant, please consult your physician before using a hot tub. c) Before entering the hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 2°C.
WARNING: People using medications and / or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub. Hyperthermia Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C. The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.

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. Single Neck Jet Pulse Three Inch (3”) Jets The three-inch Hydro-massage jets have three nozzle options: The Turbo Single Pulse the directional jets and neck jets. The Turbo single jets give a wide circular massage.
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.
Setting the Water Temperature: Use the Up or Down arrow key to regulate the water temperature. The temperature setting will be displayed for 5 seconds to confirm your new selection The “Set Point” symbol indicates the desired temperature, NOT the current water temperature! The water temperature can be adjusted by 1 degree increments from 59 to 104ºF (15 to 40ºC) Starting Pump 1: Press the Pump 1 key to turn Pump 1 on at low speed. Press a second time to turn Pump 1 to high speed.
Starting the Therapy Air / Super Jet (Optional): Press the Therapy Air key to turn TA Blower on. A second press will turn the SuperJet Blower on. A third press turns the TA Blower off, and a forth press turns the SuperJet Blower off. The built in timer automatically turns Blower off after 20 minutes, unless it has been manually deactivated. The “Therapy Air” indicator lights up when TA or SuperJet is on. Note: Therapy Air will start automatically when low level CC (cooling cycle) is activated.

This feature is helpful when young children could have access to the keypad.
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 a 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® 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 RCD Breaker has tripped or there is a power failure. Test RCD 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.
