FAQs

 

Which is better - "full foam" or "Heatlock"?

The Arctic “Heatlock” design allows us to redirect “waste” pump heat back into the water which lowers your monthly energy costs. Full foam spas do not insulate the outer wall of the pump compartment and therefore cannot trap and reuse this heat. The full foam spa is also more likely to freeze if there is a power loss because of the lack of insulation on the pump wall. Our Heatlock design protects the spa in sub-arctic temperatures, even without power, for over a week. Heatlock insulation also provides 360 degree access to your spa at anytime should there be a problem. Full foaming a spa is like "welding the hood of the car shut!"

I’ve seen your advertisements saying “Our spa is up and running with no heater” ... is that true?

Absolutely! We disconnect the heater on our store model and leave it unplugged for months at a time to show that your spa is so well insulated that it can maintain a 104 degree setting for months, even without the heater. Imagine how much energy you save per month and throughout the years when your heater turns on for only a fraction of the time that the leading "full foam" spa does.

Do I need to do any ground preparation before I have my Arctic spa delivered?

All that is needed for placement of your Arctic spa is any flat level surface. Arctic spas do not require a concrete pad, deck or any special padding because we’ve built the pad on for you!

What are the electrical requirements?

Most spas can run with 110V or 240V, depending on the number of pumps. If you choose a model with 2 or more pumps, you will need 240V plus a 50amp breaker with a GFCI disconnect.

What can be added later to my spa?

Anything. Arctic spas can be upgraded at anytime with more jets, pumps, sanitizing systems, stereos or any other Arctic Technology - even if it comes out at a later date!
