Arctic Spas Error Codes & Information

Arctic Spas has been manufacturing innovative hot tub designs for more than 20 years. The owners take a small town approach to delivering products that are high quality because they all have roots in rural Canadian communities. This manufacturer places a big emphasis on making hot tubs that require a minimal amount of maintenance and are more cost-effective to operate than other major brands.

Arctic Spas products can be found at a wide variety of dealer stores throughout the U.S. and Canada, and it is common for these locations to receive accredited status and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. Consumers who are concerned about remaining eco-friendly while soaking in a hot tub will be pleased to learn that Arctic Spas participates in several green initiatives, including partnering with PEFC to help ensure that each of the forest areas that produces wood for their products is managed responsibly.
