Cold weather usually spells doom for most hot tubs and spas. But not Arctic Spas. Forged in the winter wonderland of Canada’s Alberta province, our spas are made to thrive in cold, snowy climates – because they have to! While other hot tubs are unusable in harsh winter conditions, Arctic Spas hot tubs provide year-round enjoyment, regardless of your local weather patterns.
What sets Arctic Spas apart from the competition?
Quality components and careful craftsmanship, for sure, but that doesn’t fully explain why Arctic Spas is the #1 cold weather hot tub. The difference is our exclusive FreeHeat insulation system. This innovative technology uses entire-perimeter insulation, instead of spa shell insulation used by other hot tub manufacturers. Because our shell is so strong, there’s no need to add extra heat retention materials. As a result, the ambient heat from the pump motors is used to heat the water, and also maintain optimal water temperature. With FreeHeat insulation, Arctic Spas hot tubs feature low operating costs, from the day of purchase and throughout the lifetime of your hot tub.
Conquer the cold. Enjoy the outdoors. Expand your entertainment capabilities, whether it’s 75 and sunny or sixteen below. With Arctic Spas, anything’s possible!
Climate Compatibility – Is Your Hot Tub a Four-Season Performer?
Compatibility is a term you hear a lot about tech gear, software and other similar products. The ability to perform under a diverse set of circumstances – regardless of software revision, hardware and other factors – distinguishes the great commodities from the merely good ones. In order to get the best possible value out of your hot tub or spa, it’s time to expand the concept of compatibility to a useful metric for gauging hot tub durability and performance: climate compatibility.
Climate compatibility is an important – and often overlooked – aspect of outdoor hot tubs. When purchasing a spa or hot tub, don’t ignore compatibility…in other words, ask a simple question: Will this hot tub survive and thrive in any type of weather? Because all Arctic Spas products are designed to handle tough winter conditions, they’re obviously ideal for any type of climate. If you hot tub is able to make it through sub-zero conditions, it’ll certainly provide a relaxing retreat in warmer temperatures.
Most hot tubs aren’t manufactured to operate in less than ideal weather. To think about weather compatibility another way, imagine a vinyl hot tub in pleasant summer conditions. For the most part, it works well (although not nearly as durable or inexpensive to operate as an Arctic Spas hot tub) enough. But would this type of hot tub do well in a foot of snow with frigid Arctic wind? As we discussed before, subpar material translates to subpar performance – especially in sub-freezing temperatures! Only Arctic Spas features hot tubs and spas specifically designed for cold weather; and with abundant built-in features (which we’ll touch on in a moment), our hot tubs boast unrivaled cold weather performance.
Total Temperature Protection – Outside, Inside and Everywhere in Between
Total temperature protection involves safeguarding your hot tub against exterior elements and interior temperature fluctuations. How does Arctic Spas ensure superior protection against outside temperature, while also regulating water conditions inside your tub? Cold climate credentials don’t get any better than Arctic Spas hot tubs, with features such as:
- Mylovac cover – one of the most energy-efficient covers available on the market, our Mylovac covers are also incredibly strong. With full-length baffles and impressive 5” thickness, no other cover even comes close!
- Forever Floor – this type of base raises the hot tub an extra 3 inches off the ground. Plus, the rugged construction doesn’t require a concrete pad; it’ll go virtually anywhere!
- Western Red Cedar cabinets – the ideal combination of style and durability, our Western Red Cedar construction includes functional cabinets and easy-to-remove panels for 100% access to your hot tub’s interior components; this design is ideal for repairs and upgrades.
- Perimeter Heat Lock – with extra foam all around the tub, water temperature is maintained internally, thanks to the natural ambient heat provided by interior pumps. Every Arctic Spas hot tub includes a self-supporting shell – one of the strongest hot tub shells you’ll find anywhere – which doesn’t require insulation. This means that the water acts as a heat sink, and this saves significant operating costs over the lifetime of your hot tub!
Rugged, ready-for-anything construction is part of the Arctic Spas story, but not the entire story. While all of our hot tubs and spas feature standard-setting exterior strength, the interior water condition is also very important to your hot tub’s performance, longevity and reliability.
