The Smart Solution to Hot Tub Maintenance

by Jun 2, 2025

Why Spa Boy® and Smart pH Are Game Changers

Owning a hot tub (spa) should be about relaxation, not wrestling with water chemistry or troubleshooting cloudy water. Yet many spa owners find themselves spending more time maintaining their hot tub than enjoying it. After a long day, all you want to do is sink into the warmth of your hot tub to target those stiff muscles and let the jets melt away the tension of the day, however the stress of unbalanced pH, excessive foaming, cloudy water, and uneven sanitizer levels, can quickly make your backyard pool frustrating.

With Arctic Spas® commitment to creating solutions that work, the advanced saltwater care system, Spa Boy®,  offers a smarter, simpler solution in combination with the Smart pH system.  This powerful duo automates water care completely, maintaining crystal clear, perfectly balanced water so you can enjoy the full benefits of hydrotherapy without the hassle of maintaining it.

Smarter Water, Fewer Hassles

Water clarity and balancing are a natural part of hot tub ownership, and with a few systems in place like Arctic Spas’ Smart pH and Spa Boy® , never again do you have to worry about things like elevated pH, organic buildup, or routine use that can cause foaming and cloudy water. If a hot tub is left without maintenance, improper pH or sanitizer levels frequently can cause scale deposits, eye and skin irritation, and unpleasant odours. Even mechanical issues like surging jets or weak water flow are often linked to clogged filters or low water levels.Traditional spa care involves frequent manual testing and chemical adjustments, which can be imprecise and time-consuming. Forgetting a single step can lead to bigger problems, more frequent water changes, and even costly repairs.
