COVER

Only Arctic Spas® Castcore® covers mould the entire foam core around a steel reinforcement in the exact shape of every spa, which means no cuts, no moisture*, and no big electrical bills or the endless high cost of replacement covers.
As an extra feature, all Castcore® covers feature an insulating baffle between the cover halves to prevent heat loss along the seam. Choose
Castcore® and save.

* foam that is cut to shape rather than molded has 'open' cell foam that takes in moisture much faster - a sodden cover is heavy and a poor insulator. Replacing covers is an expensive business.

SHELL

The Arctic spa shell is so thick and so strong that it's the only self-supporting hull in the industry. That's why we guarantee it for life. There is no need for pieces of timber or foam for structural support.

Our patented Heatlock® system allows us to house the equipment between the shell and the insulation, capturing all residue heat from pump motors - this means we never let energy go to waste and saves you money.

CABINET

Beauty, strength and accessibility are built in to every Arctic Spa cabinet. We construct each cabinet using Canadian Clear Red Western Cedar. Corners are round with tongue and groove cedar dadoed into top and bottom 2 x 4 rails, rather than simply fixing a side panel to a frame with screws. The sturdiness of our cabinets is incomparable. No sagging, shifting or misalignment will occur. All cabinets come with inset access doors on all sides of the spa, allowing full access to the inside of our hot tubs, providing easy service access to upgrade parts as you wish.

FLOOR

Made along the lines of a boat's hull, our Forever Floor® is the best possible seal against moisture, pests and time! It completely eliminates the need for foundation materials, meaning you can move it anywhere you like. No concrete base required. (yes still covered by warranty!)

Spa Components

JETS

Jets are one parameter that people use to compare spas. Unfortunately number alone isn't a great check (not least because of the crafty way they can get counted).

Some "jets", such as cluster or needle jets are little more than a hole in the tub where water comes out in a straight line - this can feel uncomfortable after a short while. Arctic spas jets are strategically placed where they are needed most and can individually adjusted on/off. There are a combination of directional and rotating jets that swirl to give a circular massage effect. Arctic jets come in a 2 -tone finish or stainless steel finish.

PUMPS

When you begin researching your spa purchase, you may be led to believe that pump motors with higher horsepower means better jet performance.

The fact is that motor horsepower is a measure of the electrical energy the motor requires for the pump to do its work of moving water through the plumbing lines to the jets. To put it in more familiar terms, 1 Hp = 746 Watts. Common sense tells you that a motor too small for the job will overheat and wear out quickly. A motor that is too big for the job is just a power hog. The motor should operate at its best power and efficiency when fully loaded, with some reserve (called the “service factor”) to handle potential upgrades. Our pumps produce a flow rate of 1080 l/min (260 gallons per minute!), using just 4HP

Even the most efficient motor runs warm under load, because some energy—as much as a 40%-- is always going to be lost as heat due to friction. This means that your pump is actually a heater!

In the end, jet performance is influenced more by such factors as the pump capacity (in gpm or m3/h), the plumbing size and configuration, the quality of jets and the individual jet controls than by the power consumption of the motor. The best test is a wet test: feel the output of the jets and make sure they fit your massage expectations.

Arctic Spas’ HeatLock® system is designed to recover this “bonus” heat and use it to help heat your spa. By utilizing pumps that are designed to run in this hot environment (Read the motor label. It has the ambient operating temperature plainly stated, 40º to 50ºC/120º to 125º F) we can guarantee that they will run--day after day--for years of trouble- free service.

Cleaning filters was a necessary evil in owning a spa. However, Arctic Spas filtration system is virtually maintenance free.

Each spa comes with a MicroPure™ every day filter that filters down to 1micron and is 94% effective at removing particles with one pass. This eliminates the use of chemical clarifiers, de-scummers, cartridge cleaners and de-foamers. No weekly cleaning of the filter is required, just replace it every 3 months when you drain your spa.

Arctic Spas use a simple and effective filtration system called a telescopic floating weir. The weir adjusts with the water level to effectively skim the surface where most of the oil, skin and contaminants accumulate. A second filter system sucks in water at the bottom of the spa in the foot well. This combination is designed for the highest flow rate possible and to ensure the cleanest water. Filtration cycles are also programmable and fully adjustable to accommodate bather load.

Arctic Spas offers one of the most technologically advanced and user-friendly topside control units. Engineered to perform in every season, the digital temperature display has solid state accuracy. Besides fingertip temperature control, the topside control unit oversees diagnostics, flow switch failure, over-heat protection and the freeze protection.

Heat and filtration cycles are all programmable. The self-diagnostic feature of the controls allows for easy servicing of the spa. In many cases our service technicians can isolate and solve problems right over the telephone.
 

Ozone is one of nature's most powerful purifier. It is widely used to purify drinking water because it is PH neutral, chelates metals and destroys other organic contaminants quickly and with no residual chemicals remaining in the water.

Ozone's purification capability is clear. But how effective it is at purifying is dependant on two key factors.

NORTHERN LIGHTS

All Arctic spas come standard with the largest underwater light in the industry. Each spa has a coloured light and can easily be upgraded to our automated Northern Lights. Computer generated digital lighting allows you to change the light colour with the touch of a button. Rainbow patterns and changing strobe effects enhance your spa experience.
 

TRU-GUARD HEATING

Heaters fail more often than any other spa component. This is because most spa heaters use a heating element submersed into the water, directly exposing it to the potential hazard of chemical imbalance or poor quality water (a problem usually not covered under warranty).

Arctic Spas protects the element in the Tru-Guard heater, which is sealed with the same protective Teflon-Titanium based coating used to seal commercial acid tanks. The patented coating prevents the build-up of minerals and shields against corrosion. The Tru-Guard heater comes with a five-year No-fault replacement warranty...your guarantee that your spa will always be hot!
 

MUSIC

Arctic offer two different music system options.

The Aquatremor® sound system uses advanced tactile transducers affixed directly to the spa’s shell to create sound, rather than standard speakers. Arctic Spas®’ exclusive Heatlock® insulation system
creates the ideal environment to transmit perfect stereo sound. Just plug in your iPod and go.

Arctic’s new Wetunes™ option includes an amplifier, rectifier, and two waterproof pop-up speakers. MP3 ready so you can plug in your favourite source of tunes!
