Spa Boy Owners Manual
Step 1. Take Water Sample
Take a sample of water from the spa in a small cup (about 25mm / 1” full).
NOTE: Always take water samples 25-30cm (12”-18”) below the water surface.
Step 2. Place Test Strip in Water Sample
Place the lower end of the strip into the water.
IMPOR
TANT Keep top half of strip COMPLETELY dry to get an accurate reading.
Step 5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4
Repeat steps 3 and 4, ensuring all sub steps are carried out accordingly.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 3 & 4
Repeat steps 3 and 4, ensuring all sub steps are carried out accordingly.
Step 7. Test Sodium Chloride Level
(Aquacheck Salt Test Strips are suggested)
Also refer Sub Steps to Help Ensure Sodium Chloride Test Strips are Used Correctly.
You will now need to test sodium chloride levels. This can be carried out using a salt tests strip.
If sodium chloride levels are low, dissolve 1/2 lb (225 Grams) of salt (using cup provided) into
hot water. Pour the dissolved salt into the spa water. Test sodium chloride level.
Repeat until required sodium chloride level is reached:
Spa Boy Version Minimum Maximum
Version 1 R1 2000ppm 2500ppm
Note: For start up it is recommended to strive for the minimum salt
dosage. Once a Sodium Chloride reading has been taken and the
minimum salt dosage achieved, it can be increased slightly to accom-
modate spa usage and bather load.
Note: The Arctic Spa Boy Salt Chart in this guide provides the esti-
mated impact of adding ½ lb (225Grams) of salt to your spa.

Step 5. Add Salt to Spa Water & Re-Test TA / pH
(a) Slowly pour the dissolved salt from the pail into the spa water.
(b) Run pumps for 5 minutes to help mix salt blend through.
(c) Wait 1 hour.
(d) Then re-test and adjust Total Alkalinity level accordingly.
(e) Then re-test and adjust pH level accordingly.
Refer: Steps 2 and 3 for correct TA/pH levels
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 & 5
Repeat steps 4 and 5, ensuring all sub steps are carried out accordingly.
Step 7. Repeat Step 4 & 5
Repeat steps 5 and 6, ensuring all sub steps are carried out
accordingly.
Step 8. Test Sodium Chloride Level
You will now need to test sodium chloride levels. This can be carried
out using a salt tests strip.
If sodium chloride levels are low, dissolve 1/2 lb (225 Grams) of salt
(using cup provided) into hot water. Pour the dissolved salt into the
spa water. Test sodium chloride level.
Repeat until required sodium chloride level is reached:
Spa Boy Version Minimum Maximum
Version 1 R1 2000ppm 2500ppm
Note: The Arctic Spas Spa Boy Salt Chart in this guide provides
the estimated impact of adding ½ lb (225Grams) of salt to
your spa.
Note: Having the correct dosage of salt concentration, will reduce
potential corrosion and increase the life of the Spa Boy
Output Electrode.
