Arctic Spa Arctic Ocean Owner's Manual page 21

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 an Arctic Pure
every three (3) months.
Filter Cartridge Removal and Installation
1. Put the spa in Standby mode using the on/off button (Pump 3 button on
3 pump systems) on the topside control panel.
2. Remove the floating weir by rotating the top outside ring counter-clockwise
and lifting. The smaller second filter has a threaded cap. Lift the release tab
and unscrew the cap while the pumps are off.
3. Remove the skimmer basket by lifting straight out.
4. Remove the filter cartridge.
5. To install a new filter cartridge, reverse the order of steps for removal. Clean
any debris out of the skimmer basket before replacing it.
Care of Spa Pillows
The spa pillows used in many of the Arctic Spas
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 condi-
tioned with Arctic Pure ®
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 fibreglass reinforced, Lucite
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 also be used for minor surface cleaning. Always thor-
oughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.

2. The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell surface
