low.
Also Refer Section 1.15 Caring for your Spa Boy System, Question 3 If
the Spa Boy System is not working, what should I do if I need to add Arctic
Pure BOOST or other sanitizer to the spas water?

Oxidiser that is pH Neautral
An oxidizer that "burns off" the organic wastes which cause cloudiness and
algae. It is a generic term for a chemical used to oxidize organic wastes.
If your spa is equiped with an Arctic Spas OZONE System such as Peak
1 or Peak 2 in most cases there should be a reduced need to add Arctic
Pure, Refresh to your spas water. This is dependent on bather load and
OZONE run time. But weekly maintenance is required.

tration.
Debris such as microorganisms, perspiration, urine, etc. which needs to be

Arctic Pure, Boost.
Warning Adding a Chlorine agent such as Boost to the spas water should
be avioded as this will affect the Spa Boy Sensor Probe which will cause
inacurate ORP and pH readings to be sent to My Arctic Spa and registered
with My Arctic Spa. If chlorine is added to the spas water it will take at least
three days for the Spa Boy Sensor Probe to clense itself and start sending
accurate readings to My Arctic Spa.
Also Refer Section 1.15 Caring for your Spa Boy System, Question 3 If the
Spa Boy System is not working, what should I do if I need to add Arctic Pure
BOOST or other sanitizer to the spas water?
