• Screw the Spa Boy Housing Plug provided with your spa into the front of the Spa Boy Sensor Housing. This
will seal the water that is in the Housing and prevent the water in the Housing from draining when you drain
your spas water.
Warning: The Spa Boy Sensor must never be permitted to freeze and must always remain in contact with
water. If the Sensor freezes or is not left in contact with water at all times the sensor will fail and will require
replacement! Such failures are not covered by warranty.
What do we do when winterizing a Spa?
• You can now drain your spas water.
• Clean the Spa shell with a mixture of water and white vinegar. Rinse the shell down with fresh water and then
polish the shell with Arctic Pure, Reection.
• When relling your spa with water, leave the Spa Boy Sensor Plug secured in place until the water line is
higher than the Spa Boy Housing.
• The Spa Boy Housing Plug can now be unscrewed from the Housing and the Housing Grate can be screwed
back into the Housing.
• Once the water level has been reached the bottom of the pillow line you can turn the breaker back on to re-
power your spa.
Question 4 Does adding salt to the spas water impact pH? Yes adding salt to the spas water will increase
the pH level. The chlorine that is produced by a salt chlorinator plays a role in the water chemistry of a salt spa.
Salt is sodium chloride. When an electric charge is passed through salt water, the sodium chloride is turned
into sodium hypochlorite. This is the same kind of chlorine that is sold by the gallon as liquid chlorine. The most
important feature of sodium hypochlorite is a high pH. When the salt chlorinator produces chlorine, it raises the
pH of the spas water. Strive to achieve a Low pH level 7.2. pH must not exceed 7.6.
Question 5 What do I do if my ORP Reading is below the Optimum Range? If Spa Boy reects that the
ORP is below the Optimum Range of 545 – 550 mV you must rst consider that water chemistry may have
been aected by recent bather load and spa usage, at times the ORP value will overshoot or undershoot the
Optimum Range. If the Spa Boy Dashboard on My Arctic Spa reects that the ORP is below 545 mV do the fol-
lowing:
• Check Spa Boy Dashboard through My Arctic Spa to see if the Dashboard reects sanitizing YES, if yes Spa
Boy is currently producing sanitizer. Re-check ORP in a few hours to conrm ORP is increasing.
• If Dashboard reects Sanitizing NO: Trip the spas breaker to isolate the power to the spa and then turn the
breaker back on to repower the spa. Check Spa Boy Dashboard through My Arctic Spa to see if the Dashboard
reects sanitizing YES, if yes Spa Boy is currently producing sanitizer. Re-check ORP in a few hours to conrm
ORP is increasing.
• If Dashboard reects Sanitizing NO: First, try pressing the Spa Boy BOOST button on the Arctic Spas App or
myarcticspa.com dashboard under “Settings/Spa Boy Status” to manually activate the Spa Boy system for 30
minutes.
