Warning Adding a Chlorine agent such as Boost to the spas water should
be avioded as this will a󰀨ect 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.
