Pristine water with a minimum of fuss.

Arctic Spas use a simple and effective filtration system called Active Skim Filtration. This system utilizes an infinite-telescoping weir which applies a powerful vortex to the surface of the water where most contaminants accumulate. This vortex draws water down into the hot tub filter assembly where it is screened through a one (1) Micron Silver Sentinel filter. Additional water is drawn from the bottom of the spa through the suction fittings where it is also screened through the filter before returning through the equipment and back to the spa. 100% of the spa water is filtered over and over again, assuring you of the cleanest spa water possible.

At the heart of this system, the 1 Micron Silver Sentinel filter is capable of trapping particles as small as (1) one micron and has up to 900 sq/ft of filter media in a single cartridge. This polypropylene depth filter traps and holds impurities inside the filter, rather than just on the filter surface. The efficiency of our filter allows us to eliminate chemicals such as brighteners, coagulants, defoamers, descummers and filter cleaners. The hot tub filter is also disposable, and recyclable - eliminating the need to wash and clean dirty filters. Compare this to the typical pleated filter systems that screen down to only 60 microns, are only 50% efficient and require frequent rinsing, degreasing, replacement, and in many cases, are a part of expensive multiple filter configurations. So... not only have we found a way to rid you of this nuisance, we had a filter developed for us that does a far better job at keeping your water clear.

At every water change, you also have a great opportunity to use our 1 Micron Silver Sentinel Pre-Filter which eliminates contaminants in everyday tap water, getting your spa water off to the best start possible.
