Arctic Spas - Information


Arctic Spas® was founded in 1994. The ownership group is a unique group of guys, having all grown up on farms and in small rural communities of western Canada, where the value of your word far outweighed your commercial success.
We have carried those same values through the entire culture of our business. We pride ourselves on listening and supporting our customers, dealers and employees alike.

Our spas combine the most advanced spa technology with world-class construction techniques to ensure your enjoyment for years to come.Thank you for taking the time to review our website. We invite you to visit one of our retailers and try an Arctic Spa®.


Arctic Spas Heatlock System
Each Arctic Spa comes with our Premier Heatlock® Insulation system, designed to minimize heat loss and to maximize energy efficiency.
We apply high density urethane foam to the floor, cabinet walls and the underside of the spa rim. In combination with the spas's sturdy construction, this creates an insulating air space. This means that incidental heat from the heaters and pumps is directed inward through the shell instead of outward, thereby decreasing heating costs by capturing and transferring this ambient heat to the spa water. It also acts as a sound barrier, so you can enjoy your Arctic Spa without being disturbed by mechanical noise from the pumps and motor and allows easy access for servicing and upgrading your spa.
The Perimeter Heatlock system also means protection against freezing in subzero temperatures. If power to your spa is interrupted, heat from the spa water slowly transfers back to the air space, protecting the plumbing and equipment from freezing.

LA Spas - Information


People the world over have enjoyed bathing in natural springs combining heat, minerals, and buoyancy for thousands of years. By the 1960's new innovations and equipment were introduced, such as pumps (to move water) and therapy jets that mixed air and water to create hydrotherapy.

This is the same time period that people began combining these innovations with large wooden round tubs banded from old wine barrels, which gave birth to the term "Hot Tub". The earliest hot tub technology started out simple, but advances came quickly from a few early pioneers with vision. In 1976, L.A. Spas became one of the first pioneers to utilize modern day techniques including vacuum forming spa shells from acrylic utilizing reinforced fiberglass, developing Reverse Mold Technology (RMT), recessing therapy jets, adding pillows for comfort, integrating fiber optic lighting for mood and style - thus developing the modern day “Hot Tub” or “Spa.”


These enhancements changed the shape and feel of how true hydrotherapy, total relaxation, and luxurious leisure lifestyle comfort could be obtained in a spa. Today, L.A. Spas is recognized as one of highest quality and most innovative pioneers of the “Modern Day Hot Tub.” L.A. Spas is celebrating 29 years of building only the highest quality, custom featured hot tubs in the world. L.A. Spas offers the most advanced jet systems, plumbing configurations, and premium options available on the market.

Hot Tub Q & A

Q. What's the difference between a hot tub and a jacuzzi?
A. Hot Tub is a generic term. Numerous companies supply them. However, Jacuzzi is a brand name. Jacuzzi has been making hot tubs in California since 1968. These days, they are just one of many good brands on offer.

Q. Does sitting in a spa really reduce stress and blood pressure?
A. Many leading medical authorities believe so. They also consider that a spa or hot tub is useful in healing sports injuries, arthritis and after orthopaedic surgery. But many of us simply find that it is a delightfully sensuous luxury.

Q. Can electricity and water really co-exist safely?
A. They do in your washing machine and your steam iron. You must have a qualified electrician make the watertight connection to your mains supply, but a competent person can then connect the hot tub to this using an RCD. Always consult your BISHTA registered installer about this first.

Q. How often should I change the water?
A. It depends on how frequently you use your hot tub. Your BISHTA supplier will advise you on the best practice for your particular model, but BISHTA standards recommend as a broad rule of thumb that you should change the water about every 12 weeks.

Q. Must the hot tub be connected to the main water supply?
A. No. Most people just use a hosepipe to top it up.

Q. Could I buy a chemical-free hot tub?
A. Like swimming pools, all hot tubs need disinfectant chemicals to maintain a safe bathing environment. Be very careful about claims that you can run a hot tub without chemicals. So far, nobody has come up with anything as effective as chlorine, bromine or other halogens for killing bacteria in water.

Q. What about maintenance?
A. Your BISHTA expert can tell you all you need to know about water maintenance, purification and filtration.

Q. Can I put the hot tub anywhere in my garden?
A. Yes – so long as it is flat, and has a solid base. You could also site it indoors, if you had a big enough area like a conservatory or wet room.

Q. What about adjustable jets? And can you remove them for servicing?
A. Yes. And Yes.
