Spa Boy Owners Manual
TERM DEFINITION
Sanitizer Chemical used to kill bacteria.
Generic names: Chlorine, Bromine and Biguanide.
Arctic Pure, Boost
Adding Arctic Pure BOOST should be avoided unless the ORP level is very low.
Also Refer Section 1.15 Caring for your Spa Boy System, Question 3 If the Spa Boy Sys-
tem is not working, what should I do if I need to add Arctic Pure BOOST or other sanitizer
to the spas water?
Note; resetting the spas breaker could speed up sensor recovery.
Refresh Oxidiser that is pH Neautral
An oxidizer that “burns off” the organic wastes which cause cloudiness and algae. It is a
generic term for a chemical used to oxidize organic wastes.
If your spa is equiped with an Arctic Spas OZONE System such as Peak 1 or Peak 2 in
most cases there should be a reduced need to add Arctic Pure, Refresh to your spas
water. This is dependent on bather load and OZONE run time. But weekly maintenance is
required.
Parts Per Million (ppm) ppm: parts per million, a standard measure of chemical or mineral concentration.
Organic waste Debris such as microorganisms, perspiration, urine, etc. which needs to be burned up or
“oxidized” regularly to prevent haze, algae, chloramines, etc.
Shock An oxidizer that “burns off” the organic wastes which cause cloudiness and algae. It is a
generic term for a chemical used to oxidize organic wastes. Arctic Pure, Boost.
Warning Adding a Chlorine agent such as Boost to the spas water should be avioded as this
will poison the Spa Boy Sensor Probe which will cause inacurate ORP and pH readings to
be sent to My Arctic Spa and registered with My Arctic Spa. If chlorine is added to the spas
water it will take at least three days for the Spa Boy Sensor Probe to clense itself and start
sending accurate readings to My Arctic Spa.
Also Refer Section 1.15 Caring for your Spa Boy System, Question 3 If the Spa Boy System
is not working, what should I do if I need to add Arctic Pure BOOST or other sanitizer to
the spas water?
Note; resetting the spas breaker could speed up sensor recovery.
Salt Water Balance Arctic pure product specially formulated by Arctic Spas to lower pH without causing any
damage to the Spa Boy Output Electrode.
Drop Test Kit Test kit for testing spa water sample using additives instead of test strips.
This type of test method is more effective at measuring the 0.5ppm
residual amount of chlorine generated through Spa Boy.
0.5ppm Chlorine reading = approximately 550mV
