1.10.7 Sanitizer and pH Readings

The following provides guidance on the establishment and maintenance of sanitizer and pH readings.
Sanitizer Readings: You should have ORP sanitizer (Chlorine) readings within 24 hours. 24 hours post adding
the salt to the spas water, My Arctic Spa will be able to provide accurate readings regarding the ORP sanitizer
(chlorine) reading, and pH reading.
Important: Always check the pH and ORP (sanitizer) levels before each spa use. If the pH reading is out of
range (to high), adjust accordingly with Arctic Pure, Salt Water Balance to correct it. High pH will cause prema-
ture failure of the Spa Boy Output Electrode, cloudy water, and decreased effectiveness of the sanitizer.
* Expect the pH to increase slowly over each week and when the pH gets too high use Arctic Pure, Salt Water
Balance to correct it. High pH will cause premature failure of the Spa Boy Output Electrode, cloudy water, and
decreased effectiveness of the sanitizer.

Spa Boy Maintenance
Question 1 How do I Replace the Spa Boy Output Electrode? The Spa Boy Output Electrode should be
replaced every 12 - 18 months. Doing this ensures Sanitizer will be produced and sanitizer remains in the
required range. The App also shows a " BATTERY" displaying the amount of life left in the Spa Boy Salt Cell.
Accuracy of the display is dependent on the salt dosage being within the required range 2000ppm – 2500ppm.
The Spa Boy Output Electrode can be replaced without draining the spas water providing these steps are fol-
lowed.
Steps:
• Turn the breaker off to isolate power to your Spa.
• Unscrew the Spa Boy Niche out of its housing.
• Raise the Niche completely out of the spas water and dry off any water on the Niche and Electrode.
• To help prevent galvanic corrosion, it is critical to ensure that spa water does not come into contact with the
Spa Boy Electrode Electrical Pin or female matting connection located on the Spa Boy Niche when disconnect-
ing the Niche from the Spa Boy Electrode.
* Keep them high and keep them dry, when replacing the Spa Boy Output Electrode!
• With a small Phillips screwdriver unscrew the set screw that secures the Spa Boy Output Electrode to the
Niche.
• Remove the Spa Boy Output Electrode from the Niche by Unscrewing the Electrode anticlockwise and ensure
the small O-ring has not dislodged from the Electrode and remained behind inside the Niche.
