Arctic Spas Hot Tub Models: Current and Legacy Guide

If you are trying to identify an Arctic Spa, compare sizes, find the right manual, or check which filter setup you have, start here. I put together individual guides for 26 Arctic Spa hot tub models, including current models and several older tubs that owners are still maintaining.

Arctic Spas has reused some model names over the years, and the specs are not always the same from one generation to the next. That is why each guide includes the model year it applies to, the published dimensions and water capacity, direct links to Arctic Spas manuals and drawings, and a reminder to check the serial plate before ordering fitted parts.

Looking for an All-Weather Pool? Ocean, Okanagan, Hudson, Columbia, Kingfisher, Polar Bear, Athabascan, Wolverine, and the other All-Weather Pools are swim spas, not standard hot tubs. I kept them out of this list so the model information does not get mixed together.

Find the right manual and control panel first

Spa family Best starting point Owner settings guide
Custom Series Confirm model/year here, then use the official Custom manual and quick-reference card. Control-panel symbols and filtration settings
Classic Series Match the model and controller/software before using a menu sequence. App/Wi-Fi and filtration guide
Core Series Use the Core topside and FS/Fd/FF manual pages. Control-panel and filtration guides above
Older or unknown Use the serial plate and the PDF manual nearest the manufacturing year. Symptom-first troubleshooting

Model names have been reused. The serial plate, controller family, and year-specific manual are more reliable than a cabinet badge by itself.

Why the model year matters

A Kodiak, Cub, Tundra, or Fox from one year may not match a newer spa with a similar name. Dimensions, water capacity, pumps, controls, and filter housings can all change. Arctic Spas also has a few pages that show different numbers for the same model. Where that happens, I point it out on the model guide instead of hiding the difference.

Arctic Spa electrical requirements at a glance

Arctic’s published North American breaker requirements vary with the factory package. Current Custom and regular Classic configurations commonly use 40A for one pump, 50A for two or three pumps, and 60A for a four-pump Custom build. Some Upgraded Classic and Core configurations use 50A even with one pump. Selected one-pump models can be ordered as 110/115V Plug N Play, commonly listed at 12A actual load on a 15A breaker where Arctic publishes a model-specific value.

The nearby breaker enclosure is usually called the spa disconnect, GFCI spa panel, or spa subpanel. Arctic Spas says it must be visible and readily accessible to the hot tub occupant while remaining at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from the water. Under common NEC terminology, within sight generally means no more than 50 ft. The certification label beside the spa controller is the final authority for voltage and current, and a licensed electrician must apply the locally adopted electrical code.

Each model guide below separates actual equipment load from required breaker size, and also lists the wiring method, published feeder gauge, heater size, Plug N Play availability, pump-package differences, bonding, and disconnect placement. The 2026 manual lists 6-gauge wire for many 240V Custom/Classic installations and 14-gauge for its documented 115V/15A configurations, but the electrician still has to verify the exact spa label, conductor type, raceway, run length, and local code. Do not use jet count by itself to choose a breaker.

About this guide

I built SpaFilterAdapter.com to help Arctic Spa owners use a more practical filter setup. This model guide grew out of the same problem: it should not be this hard to find a straight answer about which tub you own or which document applies to it.

The specs and links here come from Arctic Spas’ own model pages, brochures, technical sheets, and owner manuals. Last checked July 11, 2026. Arctic Spas is a trademark of its respective owner. SpaFilterAdapter.com is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by Arctic Spas.
