Understanding Spa Boy®
Question 10 What happens if my water becomes cloudy?
1. Check you pH level to ensure it is in the target range. If high, lower the pH using Arctic Pure Salt Water Bal-
ance.
2. Check/Test the water with a drop test kit for chlorine content. If the level is below 0.5ppm or there is no read-
ing the Spa Boy Output Electrode may be exhausted and require replacement. Check Cell Life Monitor on Arc-
tic Spas App or myarcticspa.com dashboard under "Settings/Spa Boy Status", remaining Cell life is displayed
as a green colored battery. The green band on the battery will reduce in height as the Cell becomes depleted.
3. Check that the Salinity reading is within the desired range, 2000ppm and 2500ppm. If salinity reading is
below the range it can cause the Cell Life Monitor to display as Red, which implies the Spa Boy Salt Cell is
exhausted when it may not be.
4. Check your filters as they may require replacement.
Question 11 Should I use Best Defense or another scale remover? It is recommended that calcium be re-
moved from the water in advance, during the fill process with the aid of a pre-filter and when establishing initial
correct water chemistry, rather than adding a scale remover after the fact. Calcium readings below 150ppm
should be maintained.
Question 12 What is the impact of phosphates on the Spa Boy system? High levels of phosphates (above
250 ppb) may reduce the effectiveness of sanitizer output.
Question 13 Can I use softened water with my Spa Boy system? Yes, you probably have a water softener
because your water is quite hard. Your water softener removes calcium from your water and helps you achieve
water with calcium content near the target range, between 50 - 150 ppm.
Question 14 Prior to draining spa water for refill purposes, should a system flush be carried out? Yes
you can, Arctic Pure 'Fresh Start'. Use in accordance with the instructions on the container. Flushing the system
components and hoses is helpful when you get biofilm and calcium build-up. It is good practice to do this at
least once a year.
Question 15 If I am going to have a very heavy bather load, is there a way to manually active the Spa
Boy System to generate additional sanitizer (Increase ORP Level)? Yes you can. Pressing the Boost But-
ton through the App or dashboard in myarcticspas.com will manually activate the Spa Boy System for 30 min-
utes. Boost button can be activated in such cases when you know you are going to have a heavy bather load.
CAUTION: Only press the Boost Button once.
When the Boost Button is pressed:
• The Lightning Bolt on the Boost Button will illuminate and then,
• The Spa Boy Generator will turn On and Off TWICE along with the Lightning Bolt, and then,
• The Boost function commences its 30-minute cycle. During this cycle the Lightning Bolt remains illuminated.
Pressing the Boost button more than once will cause the Boost function not to activate.
