Step 2. Test and Adjust pH (Use drop Test Kit)
Test pH. Levels should be between 7.2 – 7.6. If pH is high, (over 7.6) add Arctic Pure, Salt Water Balance.
NOTE: Salt systems naturally drive pH levels to increase, strive to achieve a balanced pH level.
NOTE: High pH will cause calcium to precipitate (fall out of suspension). The problem with calcium falling out of
suspension is that it collects on the heater and pump, and shortens their life.
Step 3. Mix Salt Crystals
Dissolve 1/3 of the required recommended salt dosage in a 5 Gallon (20 litre) pail of hot water.
Refer Arctic Spas – Spa Boy Salt Dosage Chart contained in this guide.
WARNING: Salt causes pH to rise, to help ensure pH can be managed within the target range, it is most impor-
tant not to add the entire salt dose in one step. If all the salt is added in one dose it may increase the pH level to
an unmanageable level that requires the spas water to be drained.
Step 4. Add Salt to Spa Water & Re-Test TA / pH
(a) Slowly pour the dissolved salt from the pail into the spa water.
(b) Run pumps for 5 minutes to help mix salt blend through.
(c) Wait 1 hour.
(d) Then re-test and adjust pH level accordingly.
Refer: Steps 2 for correct pH levels.
Step 5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4
Repeat steps 3 and 4, ensuring all sub steps are carried out accordingly.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 3 & 4
Repeat steps 3 and 4, ensuring all sub steps are carried out accordingly.
Step 7. Test Sodium Chloride Level
(Aquacheck Salt Test Strips are suggested) Also refer Sub Steps to Help Ensure Sodium Chloride Test Strips
are Used Correctly. You will now need to test sodium chloride levels. This can be carried out using a salt tests
strip. If sodium chloride levels are low, dissolve 1/2 lb (225 Grams) of salt (using cup provided) into hot water.
Pour the dissolved salt into the spa water. Test sodium chloride level. Repeat until required sodium chloride
level is reached:
Understanding Spa Boy®
NOTE: For start up it is recommended to strive for the minimum salt dosage. Once a Sodium Chloride reading
has been taken and the minimum salt dosage achieved, it can be increased slightly to accommodate spa usage
and bather load.
NOTE: The Arctic Spa Boy Salt Chart in this guide provides the estimated impact of adding ½ lb (225Grams) of
salt to your spa.

If sodium chloride levels are low, dissolve 1/2 lb (225 Grams) of salt
(using cup provided) into hot water. Pour the dissolved salt into the
spa water. Test sodium chloride level.
Repeat until required sodium chloride level is reached:
