  • 🛠️ Cover lift

  • 🪜 Spa steps

  • 🧴 Full-size start-up and weekly maintenance chemicals

  • 🔧 Most warranty calls completed within 1–2 business days

❄️ How Are Arctic Spas Insulated?

Premier’s Answer:
Arctic Spas use a dual-insulation approach for superior performance:

  • Closed-cell insulation on the spa shell

  • High-density perimeter cabinet insulation to trap heat

Even in -4°F weather, your Arctic Spa can go up to 5 days without freezing during a power outage.
A study showed Arctic’s design is 25% more efficient than foam-filled spas.
Estimated operating cost: Less than $0.60/day


🌐 Can I Control My Spa Remotely?

Premier’s Answer:
Yes! Arctic Spas feature app-based remote access via:

  • 📲 OnSpa®

  • 📲 In.Touch 2®

From your phone, you can:

  • Adjust water temperature

  • Change filtration cycles

  • Control pumps, lighting, and more — from anywhere in the world


📊 Can I Monitor My Water Chemistry?

Premier’s Answer:
Yes — with Spa Boy®, Arctic’s exclusive automated water care system:

  • ⚙️ Continuously monitors pH and sanitizer levels

  • 📱 Allows remote adjustments via app

  • 🧂 Uses saltwater technology for a more natural soaking experience

Premier’s Answer:
Yes. Arctic Spas support both:

  • Spa Boy® (automated)

  • Onzen™ (manual)

Saltwater systems are not damaging when water is properly balanced — and we’ll teach you exactly how to care for your spa.


💧 What Are the Benefits of Saltwater?

Premier’s Answer:
There are several big advantages:

  • Creates its own sanitizer — no daily dosing

  • Gentle on skin and eyes — similar salinity to human tears

  • Lower maintenance cost

    • Less need for added chemicals

    • Salt doesn’t evaporate — rarely needs replacing

    • Fewer water changes over time


🪵 What Kind of Surface Can I Put My Spa On?

Premier’s Answer:

  • 🛠️ Classic & Custom Series Spas

    • Can be placed on any firm, level surface (concrete, decking, pavers, gravel, etc.)

    • Built with the Forever Floor®: a rugged, fiberglass-composite base that resists moisture, pests, and time
