Spa Boy Owners Manual
TERM DEFINITION
Spa Boy Spa Boy is an advanced salt water maintenance system designed to data log pH and ORP
readings and self manage the ORP level within the specified range (545-550mV).
Spa Boy Output Electrode Five plate platinum-iridium Titanium electrode - equipped salt cell converts the saltwater
solution to sanitizer, and as this solution reverts back to its natural form (salt) after sani-
tizing. Unless large volumes of water are added to the spa you never have to add more
salt. The five plate electrode plastic outer casing is grey in color.
Note: When the Spa Boy System has activated the Output Electrode to generate sanitizer,
the electrode gives off smoke effect.

Modification status of the electrode fitted to the spa.
Spa Boy Sensor pH and ORP sensor (probe) used to measure pH and chlorine (ORP) readings along with
many other reading and transfer the readings to the My Arctic Spa web site.
The Sensor is connected to the Spa Boy Generator and the Spa Boy Communication Cable
from the generator is connected to the Global Eco PAK.
Spa Boy Communication Cable Cable that connects the Spa Boy Generator to the Global Eco PAK. The communication
cable is used to establish continous two-way communication between the Spa Boy System
and myarcticspa.com.
Arctic Pure Arctic Spas range of products developed especially for maintaining your spas water.
My Arctic Spa My Arctic Spa is a Web based after sales support system designed and built by Arctic Spas
especially for Arctic Spas owners that have Spa Boy installed in their spa.
My Arctic Spa has been designed to receive data from your spa over the internet through
the spas Wi-Fi system. The data is logged and saved by My Arctic Spa on a continual basis.
Calcium Hardness (CH) Calcium Hardness is a measure of the total amount of dissolved calcium salts in the water.
CH helps determine how scaling or corrosive the water is. It is believed that calcium helps
control the corrosive nature of water.
Calcium has two major problems in Hot Water Chemistry:
1. CH has a tendency to precipitate (fall out of suspension in high temperatures, ,
where pH is above 7.8ppm)
2. High pH will cause calcium to precipitate. The problem with calcium falling out of
suspension is that it collects on the heater and pump, and shortens their life. High pH
also reduces the life of the Spa Boy Output Electrode.
Any natural corrosiveness in the water can be combated by maintaining a slightly higher
Total Alkalinity Level.
