Item Frequency Maintenance Task Target Range
pH Weekly Check the Potential Hydrogen (pH) to en-
sure it is in the target range.
Always rst check to ensure the pH is within
the target range. If the pH is out of the
target range pH must be adjusted before
making any adjustments to chlorine levels
7.2 – 7.6 pH As Salt systems naturally drive pH levels upwards, it is most critical to the performance/life of
the salt system to maintain the pH within the target range.
High pH reduces the e󰀨ectiveness of chlorine.
• pH level of 7.2 makes chlorine 62% e󰀨ective (38% loss of e󰀨ectiveness).
• pH level of 7.5 makes chlorine 50% e󰀨ective (50% loss of e󰀨ectiveness).
• pH level of 8 makes chlorine 21% e󰀨ective (79% loss of e󰀨ectiveness).
Therefore, high pH causes your Spa Boy system to produce more chlorine thus increasing pH
even higher and reducing the e󰀨ectiveness of chlorine even further.
Strive to achieve a Low pH level 7.2. pH must not exceed 7.6. If pH is slightly below 7.0ppm do
not adjust.
Low pH - Can be raised by adding Arctic Pure Salt Water Balance, Adjust Up to the spa water.
High pH - Can be lowered by adding Arctic Pure Salt Water Balance, Adjust Down to spa water.
ORP Weekly
(& before
each use)
Check the Free Chlorine Level to ensure it
is in the
target range.
545–550 mV /ORP
Using a Drop
Test Kit, 0.5ppm
Chlorine reading
= approximately
550mV
545-550 mV is the Optimum Range factory default setting.
The user may adjust higher if preferred by contacting their dealer to have it adjusted. Spa Boy
will strive to maintain ORP within the Optimum Range.
Depending on the water chemistry which will be a󰀨ected by bather load and spa usage, at
times the ORP value will overshoot or undershoot the Optimum Range.
Sodium
Chloride
Monthly Check the Sodium Chloride Level to ensure
it is in the target range.
Version 1 R1 2000
– 25000 ppm
Once Sodium Chloride reading is in the target range salt concentration will only change if
water is splashed or drained out. Do not add salt unless this test conrms the level is below the
chemical acceptable range.
High Sodium Chloride - add water above 2500ppm
Low Sodium Chloride - add salt below 2000ppm
Shock Weekly Shock the spas water with Arctic Pure,
Refresh
N/A At a minimum 1 capful per week should be added for a spa and 2 caps full for an AWP. This
amount can be reduced if your spa is equipment with an Arctic Spas OZONE System.
