Installation Instructions Site Preparation Make sure you 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! Sub Panel Wiring Diagram Example Power Input All Arctic Spas are tested for the following: 240 VAC, 60 Hz, 50 A (North America) Connect the power input wires to the terminal block labeled “AC-Input”. Make sure to respect the alignment and that the screws are properly tightened. From Electrical Box To Spa IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS: Neutral of the GFCI must be connected to the neutral bus.
Electrical Installation Instructions ARCTIC SPAS® MUST BE WIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. ALL ELECTRICAL WORK SHOULD BE DONE BY AN EXPERIENCED, LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND APPROVED BY A LOCAL BUILDING/ELECTRICAL INSPECTION AUTHORITY. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT, FITTINGS AND WIRE FOR ALL CIRCUITS. We recommend an electrical subpanel containing a 50 amp GFCI breaker is used to supply power and protect the spa.
8. Connect wires, color to color, on terminal blocks TB1. TIGHTEN SECURELY! All wires must be hooked up or damage could result. 9. Close the control box door and reinstall the cabinet side panel. WARNING: Fill the spa with water before turning on the power. Once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all of the circuit breakers. NOTE: If the GFCI breaker trips immediately, verify that the WHITE neutral wire is connected into the load neutral in the breaker.
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.
9) Test and Adjust Sanitizer level (Chlorine ideal 1- 3 ppm or Bromine ideal 3 - 5 ppm). 10) Rotate “VOS Diverters” to centre position and press “PUMP 2” button on topside control panel for 5 seconds to activate the “Boost filtration system”, this will ensure sufficient circulation and filtration for entire jetting system. When enabled, “BOO” message is displayed. 11) The spa temperature is pre-programmed to reach 102°F, and will normally do so within 16 to 24 hours.
Jets Master Massage Jet The Master Massage jet is a large multi-orifice jet designed specifically for your lower back, because its high flow - low pressure action gently massages the soft tissue in this area without irritating it. The intensity of the Master Massage Jet can be altered using one of the FusionTM Diverter levers (the location varies depending on spa model). Consult your local dealer regarding which diverter lever or just jump in and experiment for yourself.
Spa Control Functions IMPORTANT. Before performing any service on the spa, contact your local Factory Authorized Dealer. Make a visual inspection of the spa to get an understanding of what condition it may be in and if anything look out of the ordinary. If any part appears to be damage, loose or missing, do not proceed. Contact your Factory Authorized Dealer immediately.

You can select from 1 cycle to 4 cycles per day. The Filter Cycle triangular icon will appear on the display when a filter cycle is on.
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. Draining the Water Detergent residues and dissolved solids from bathing suits and chemicals will gradually accumulate in your spa’s water.

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.
• • 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. Though chemicals protect you and your spa when used correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form.
2. Also, as water evaporates from your spa and new water is added, the amount of dissolved minerals will increase. The spa water may eventually become “hard” (Calcium Hardness too high) enough to damage the heater by calcifying its surface. To protect against these problems add 15ml (1/2 ounce) per 1000 litres (264 gallons) of Arctic PureTM Best Defense weekly. Balance The Total Alkalinity (TA) 1. The recommended Total Alkalinity (TA) for your spa water is 125-150 ppm. 2.
If the pH is too high, it can be decreased by adding Arctic PureTM 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.
dispenser down to 2 or 3 (adjust as needed for bather load). Important: Sanitize B & C are acidic and will decrease the Total Alkalinity. Regular testing and balancing of TA is extremely important with these products. Weekly 1. Add two pucks to floating dispenser and reset to previous setting (or as needed). 2. Add two tablespoons of Arctic PureTM Refresh per 1000 litres (265 gallons) of water. 3.

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.
