So, what exactly is Smart Winter Mode? Think of it as your hot tub’s built-in winter bodyguard! Many Arctic Spas® hot tubs have this feature which automatically turns on the water pumps just enough to keep things circulating and prevent those pesky pipes from freezing. It’s like a gentle reminder that even when it’s freezing outside, your hot tub is prepared.
Now, let’s get into how this magic works! Inside your spa’s control system, there’s a special temperature sensor keeping a close watch on the air inside the equipment compartment – that’s where all the important pipes and pumps live. This smart sensor constantly monitors the temperature and adjusts the pump activity accordingly.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- No Risk (Over 70°F/21°C): Relax! Everything’s good.
- Low Risk (Around 68°F/20°C): The system will purge water every two hours.
- Medium Risk (Around 59°F/15°C): The system will purge water every hour.
- High Risk (Around 53°F/12°C): Pumps run for one minute every 30 minutes.
- Extreme Risk (Around 50°F/10°C): Pumps run every 15 minutes.
The Smart Winter Mode is activated for 24 hours and remains on if the temperature stays below 68°F (20°C). Best of all? It’s fully automatic! You don’t have to do a thing. Just let it work its magic!
What’s so great about Smart Winter Mode?
- It’s convenient
- It gives you peace of mind knowing your spa is protected
- It only uses energy when it’s absolutely necessary
While Smart Winter Mode is an awesome feature, remember that it’s always a good idea to follow other winter hot tub care tips, such as keeping your spa running at a moderate temperature, ensuring good water circulation, and using a quality hot tub cover.
