Great service. After a phone call an email to edit this review for a name, I'm questioning a little on my 5 star. I like the place in Parksville in general,EVERYONE I've encountered has been delightful. I have not purchased my hot tub there,however I do go there to buy my chemicals. The last 2 times Sabrina has been the one who has helped me. ( PS Sabrina was not the one pressuring me to add a name and edit this review 😉)
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Caroline! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience. If any team member stood out, we’d love to know so we can recognize them. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Sabrina was so helpful as we ordered our new hot tub cover. Great service, quick to respond and provide everything we needed.
Once again, Sabrina was extremely helpful getting us set up with a new replacement hot tub. She sent a bunch of great options and was able to get us set up within one week.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Rochelle! So glad that Sabrina was able to help you out!

I have been struggling with skin rashes from my Summit Spa Boy with peak ozone so I went on a hunt for some answers. That led me to finding John Keirstead on the Arctic Spa Owners FB page who has been the number one person I trust from this point forward. He has experience with sensitive skin issues caused by spa chemicals and has graciously educated me on how to fix this, even though I’m not his customer and have never bought anything from his store (I live in Alberta). I am forever grateful to be using my spa to its full potential without using the chemicals that were triggering my skin issues. This hot tub set up turns out to be fairly easy and we were overthinking everything. He said that ozone is my friend and now I’m understanding the magic of the spa boy salt spa with ozone 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was nearly thinking of selling my spa until I found him. Thank you John for you expertise and willingness to help an Arctic Spa owner fall back in love with her hot tub 💕
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that John was able to help you troubleshoot your Summit Spa Boy system and guide you toward a solution that works for your sensitive skin. It's a great reminder of how powerful and effective the Spa Boy and ozone system can be when properly understood. Your story is exactly why we’re so passionate about educating and supporting spa owners—whether they live nearby or across the country. We're so glad you're now able to enjoy your spa to its full potential again. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to John. Happy Tubbing!

We have had our Arcti Spa Summit Series for 6 years and just had our first service call. The Duncan office recommended Aquafun Pools and Spa and yesterday Eric came and did a complete service and inspection. His communication was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommmend Eric at Aquafun to service any and all your needs.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We’re glad to hear your Summit has been serving you well over the years, and we’re thrilled that Eric provided the level of service and communication you expect.

We have always received first rate service from the manager, John and his outstanding staff. Particularly we appreciate the personal care that John has shown us over the years, from our purchase of our Arctic Fox Spa during the start of COVID and through to the present. A shout out to technicians Mark and Sam who installed our spa and have done service work when our understanding of setting variables on the App were more than fuzzy. Great service by all. Thank you
Response from the owner:Thank you Bryan for taking the time to leave some positive feedback for our team, we will share your praise with them and of course we will always be there for you if you any help or advice. Happy Tubbing!

When my Arctic Spa suddenly became unusable because I could not get it properly balanced i was fortunate to find John Keirstead and voila all my issues were solved.
I appreciate Arctic Spa’s ability to respond and fix what occasionally goes sideways. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for helping me out when I called with all my questions about pH and alkalinity today! We’ve only had our spa for a month, and we didn’t get a full walkthrough from the Arctic Spa dealer we bought it from, so it left me feeling a bit lost. Sabrina was available to answer my questions on Christmas Eve when our dealer was closed for the holidays. Much appreciated!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad Sabrina could help answer your questions and get you feeling more confident with your spa—especially on Christmas Eve. Enjoy your new Arctic Spa, and please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime. We’re always happy to help!

Sabrina was so friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable about the products. She was very accommodating for us to come and try out the swim spa (on more than one occasion). The swim spa we tested was the Hudson. It was a very nice unit. Spacious, with enough room for someone to swim while someone is sitting in the lounger. The 2 seats had good jets. Each targeted different areas. The one lounger seat side was more preferable with the jet placing. I was able to test out swimming with the tether (which is something I thought I wouldn’t like before trying), but it was good. Something very different than lane swimming (which is what I am used to), but still has the ability to provide a good workout in my opinion. I also tried swimming with the large jet running at the end of the tub. Which I didn’t enjoy as much. Swimming with the jet alone would not be enough counter current in my opinion (depending on your level of swimming). But swimming with the tether and the jet going, or just the tether alone would be good. Overall both my husband and I liked the spa. Seems like they are a very well built and functioning product. Overall had a wonderful experience with Sabrina:)
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review!
We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Sabrina. She truly takes pride in making sure every customer feels comfortable, informed, and confident (and we’re glad you were able to come back and test the swim spa more than once!).
It’s great to hear your feedback on the Hudson as well. Being able to both relax and swim at the same time is something we designed it for, so it’s awesome that you and your husband got to experience that balance firsthand. We also really appreciate your honest thoughts on the jet current vs. tether swimming—that kind of insight is incredibly valuable.
You might be excited to hear that Arctic Spas is introducing a brand new 18' swim spa model called the Polar Bear, featuring our new Turbo Jet system. This system is significantly stronger, creates much less surface turbulence, and provides a smoother, more consistent current—making it easier to swim against while also helping with body positioning and buoyancy. It’s a big step forward for those looking for a more natural swim experience without relying as much on a tether.
Thanks again for your kind words and for spending the time with us! We’re so happy you had a wonderful experience with Sabrina and our swim spas!
4 Hot tub showrooms on Vancouver Island:
We have four showrooms spread across Vancouver Island to serve you best. This includes spas that you can actually “Wet Test!” This means you can bring your swim trunks and try it out!
While we can demonstrate some things on our website with pictures and video, it is sometimes hard to express the clean smell of a saltwater spa…or feel the satin smooth texture of our latest acrylic called Polar White…or experience the soothing waters of a saltwater system. How about experiencing swimming into the powerful jets of a swim spa…or simply, getting a FREE deep massage from an Arctic Spas SDS seat?
These can only be experienced in person!
We have four locations evenly spread from Victoria on the South island to Campbell River up North so that you can experience one near you!
What we have available at each location varies. Please contact us first to arrange a time and allow us to check the status of what we have available to test at either location!
Tap the Phone number below, or on John’s image holding the cell phone to go to our Contacts Page and fill out a short form. There, you can select your desired location. We can sometimes meet after hours with a pre-arranged appointment! Just ask!
