Arctic Spa Filter Cost Savings with Adapter Kit v3
Compare the continuing cost of proprietary Pro Filter sets with compatible generic replacement filters used after installing the adapter kit.
At a glance
10-year replacement-filter cost comparison.
Both examples assume six complete filter changes per year. The generic-cartridge total applies after installing Adapter Kit v3 and does not include the one-time kit purchase.
Baseline
Continuing with proprietary Pro Filters.
This example uses a two-filter set price of $156 and assumes one full set replacement every two months, or six sets per year.

With Adapter Kit v3
Compatible generic replacement filters.
The example 24-pack costs $107.52, or about $4.48 per filter. A full change uses four filters total, two per adapter, for an example replacement cost of $17.92.
The adapter kit is a separate one-time purchase and is not included in the replacement-filter table.
Ten-year example
Generic cartridge replacement cost.
This uses the same six full changes per year as the proprietary-filter baseline.
| Years | Full changes | Cumulative cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | $107.52 |
| 2 | 12 | $215.04 |
| 3 | 18 | $322.56 |
| 4 | 24 | $430.08 |
| 5 | 30 | $537.60 |
| 6 | 36 | $645.12 |
| 7 | 42 | $752.64 |
| 8 | 48 | $860.16 |
| 9 | 54 | $967.68 |
| 10 | 60 | $1,075.20 |
Ten-year generic-filter example: $1,075.20, plus the one-time adapter kit purchase.
Bottom line
Lower ongoing costs without replacing the spa.
If you regularly replace Arctic Spa Pro Filters, the adapter changes future purchases from proprietary filter sets to compatible generic cartridges that can be rinsed and reused.
