The experience of my Arctic Spa is amazing. I’ve owned 3 other spas throughout the years - the traditional chemical hot tubs. This Salt Water tub is so much better. The maintenance is so much easier - the app is so helpful. But the greatest joy - is the pleasure of being in it. Most people keep asking if it’s too salty. No you don’t really notice the salt - what you notice is how comfortable it is - with out the smell of chemicals. And afterwards your skin feels fantastic.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We love hearing how much you’re enjoying your Arctic Spa, especially the ease of the automated salt water system and the comfort it brings. It’s great to know the app and low maintenance have made a difference, but even better that you’re truly enjoying the time spent in your spa. That clean, comfortable soak and how your skin feels after is exactly what it’s all about. Thanks again for your thoughtful review!

Our hot tub was very old and no longer working. Thought we would have to buy a new hot tub but Eric explaned they could install new parts for a fracrion of the price of a new hot tub. We now have our hot tub working at a fraction of expected cost! Thanks Eric.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad Eric was able to find a cost-effective solution and get your hot tub up and running again. It’s always our goal to explore repair options first and help our customers save money whenever possible.

We wanted to give a shout-out to Duncan, the technician from Arctic Spas!
We had an issue with one of our jets that required a replacement part. Duncan arrived right on time and quickly and skillfully removed the defective part and installed the new one—which, happily, was covered under warranty.
What really impressed us was that Duncan didn’t just fix the problem and leave. He took the time to offer helpful advice on getting the most out of our hot tub, checked the pH levels, and showed us several features we didn’t even know we had!
Duncan was personable, professional, knowledgeable, and clearly takes pride in providing great service. We really appreciated his help and would happily recommend him to anyone needing service from Arctic Spas.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Duncan was able to arrive on time, replace the faulty jet part efficiently, and get everything covered under warranty.
It’s especially great to hear that he took the time to go beyond the repair by checking your water chemistry, offering helpful advice, and showing you more of the features of your Arctic Spa. We believe a service visit should be about more than just fixing the immediate issue, and we’re so glad Duncan was able to help you get the most out of your hot tub.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and will be sure to pass along your kind words to Duncan. Thank you again for choosing Arctic Spas!

Eric the service technician has been incredibly helpful knowledgeable and friendly every time we needed him! Monica who I've dealt with on the phone is absolutely stellar as well! She even called me before going on vacation to make sure all was well. So appreciated!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that Eric has consistently provided such knowledgeable, friendly service, and that Monica has gone above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with both of them. We truly appreciate your continued trust and support!

Had very good experience with Artic Spa’s Vancouver Island service partner: Aqua Fun. Our 5-year old spa developed a slow leak; we were unable to find the source. Eric Aasen, one of their techs, arrived at our house pretty much on time. Eric was clearly knowledgeable and experienced in repairing Arctic Spas. He found the source of the leak and repaired the spa. We had to drain the spa to allow the repair; Eric had the tools that enabled a rapid drain. Too, I was happy that he carried extra filters and chemistry on his truck. I needed fresh filters and more salt to treat the refilled spa; he was able to provide both at a fair price, saving a trip to town.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and for trusting us with your spa service! We’re so glad to hear that Eric was able to quickly locate and repair the leak while making the process as convenient as possible for you. We always aim to make service visits as efficient and hassle-free as we can. Thank you again for your support of Arctic Spas Vancouver Island and Aquafun Spas and Service. We hope you enjoy your spa for many years to come!

I have been a longtime customer, and love my hot tub.
I was recently in twice with the sales associate Jenny helping me both times.
She was exceptional in her service, and even reminded me about a promotion that helped save me a significant amount of money.
Thank you, Jenny!

I had an issue with the YESS system on my 2022 Kodiak and I reached out to John, the owner, for advice. John could not have been nicer. He quickly responded to me, providing videos and taking me through the procedure to set the valves correctly inside the shell.
It turns out that the valves had been misaligned for the entire 2.5 years I’ve owned the tub and the YESS system was not operating anywhere near full efficiency.
He helped me avoid a service call. He saved me money. Here’s the thing. I reached out to him blindly. I live in the US and didn’t buy my tub from him. He didn’t have to do any of this. This is how I know he’s a good person.
This is the dealer you want to buy from. One who is truly in it to ensure his customers are happy with what they’ve purchased and that they’re getting everything out of what they’ve purchased.
John is good people. He takes care of his customers. He’s obviously there when you need him.
If you’re in B.C. and looking for a hot tub, this is the guy you need to buy from. You’ll be getting a great tub, first off, but for as long as you own it you’ll have stand-up support. Thats getting harder and harder to find these days.
Response from the owner:Wow! (Blush) Thanks for the amazing review Jim. Glad we were able to help you out! Happy Tubbing!

We just had our hot tub delivered and set up by Paul, and he was fantastic. He had to work extra hard as his colleague was sick, but he still made it happen. Originally, we were going to reschedule, but since I already had the electrical and water delivery booked, Paul came out on his own. I gave him a hand, and together we were able to get the tub into place.
Paul clearly enjoys his job, and it shows. He was patient with all my questions and concerns. One piece was missing from the delivery, so Paul went back to Duncan to pick it up and, even though he was on his way to drop off more hot tubs, he returned the same day to bring it to us.
Later that same day, while I was at work, technician Goran stopped by and walked my wife through the programming and features of the hot tub. I didn’t meet Goran personally, but my wife said he was great.
A big shoutout as well to Sabrina, Caroline, and Jenny, Marc for helping us answer our questions and choose the right Arctic Spa — the Cub. Overall, an amazing team and a great experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear about your experience and truly appreciate your flexibility and teamwork on delivery day.
Paul will be especially grateful for the shoutout. He takes a lot of pride in his work, and it’s great to hear that his dedication, patience, and follow-through made such a positive impression—especially going the extra mile to ensure everything was completed the same day. We’ll also be sure to pass along your kind words to Goran for taking the time to walk your wife through the programming and features, as well as to Sabrina, Caroline, Jenny, Marc, and Duncan for helping guide you to the perfect spa choice.
We’re so happy you’re enjoying your Arctic Spa Cub and that the entire team could make the experience a great one from start to finish. Welcome to the Arctic Spas family, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything!

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!
