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 specied range (545-
550mV).
Spa Boy Output Elec-
trode
Five plate platinum-iridium Titanium electrode - equipped salt cell converts the salt-
water solution to sanitizer, and as this solution reverts back to its natural form (salt)
after sanitizing. Unless large volumes of water are added to the spa you never
have to add more salt. The ve 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 o󰀨 smoke e󰀨ect.

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 Communica-
tion Cable from the generator is connected to the Global Eco PAK.

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 cal-
cium 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.
