sheila Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 We purchased the Arctic Summit last fall with the ozonator. We have been really happy with it until recently. About 3 months ago, the spa water started to get REALLY hot, much hotter than we had the temperature set. For instance, we had the tub set at 102 most of the winter, and would open it up to find it at 105. We suspect that as a result the filter cycle has not been running regularly because of the too high temperatures which is a possible culprit for some disgusting water. The tub is framed by the house on one side, deck on another side and sits in a little valley. The dealer is trying to tell us that, although we live in Minnesota, we may need to spend $100 to buy a "summer" door to disperse more of the internal heat. Has anyone else had this problem?

Pathfinder Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 It has been mentioned as a common problem b4 where customers have to buy the summer doors. I never could understand why Arctic has never really addressed this problem with some sort of small exhaust fan that enages once internal temps get too high. Tom????

Thats what I did, added a fan some duct work and a coupl dampers to keep it sealed when it's very cold out an vent when it gets to warm.

jennaemac Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ive noticed this too since the weather warmed up. We are also in MN and just purchased ours this past fall. Our water also has been a little less clean and I am frequently doing boost filtration. We have been venting the cover a bit when we notice it is 105 degrees. We just put a piece of wood or brick under the edge of the cover to air it out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! That's pretty sofisticated! How exactly did you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheila Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Good idea. We'll give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila, I will PM you for more details. Pathfinder, the summer doors are a workable and economical solution from early in our development. There is a more high-tech two-fan device called The Chiller scheduled for release this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Its nice to see that Arctic has & is doing something about it In retrospect it just shows that no design is perfect and can always use some improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
