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, Lucite
®
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 chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell.
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or vinegar can be used for minor surface cleaning. Always thor-
oughly 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 concentra-
tion 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.
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. Put the spa in Standby mode using the on/off button on the topside con-
trol panel.
2. Remove the filter basket by rotating the top outside ring counterclock-
wise and lifting. The smaller second filter has a threaded cap. Lift release
tab and unscrew the cap while the pumps are off.
3. Remove the filter cartridge.
4. Clean any debris out of the skimmer basket.
5. To reinstall the filter cartridge, reverse the order of steps in which it was
removed.
