We just got our new hot tub a couple weeks ago, and it's been working great - so far we've been really happy we went with a salt water tub from Arctic Spas! The installers Eric & Paul from Aquafun were very helpful with the setup, and they gave a lot of great info about how to test the water and do the other regular maintenance
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, Joel! We’re so glad you’re enjoying your new Arctic Spa and that Eric and Paul made the setup process easy while providing helpful guidance on water care and maintenance. We really appreciate you choosing us! Happy Tubbing!

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!

Just had servicing done with Duncan. Great guy, very knowledgeable - explained very kindly where I was going wrong with my ongoing water maintenance. Also introduced me to a new cover style that'll save my wife and I a lot of headache.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad to hear Duncan was able to help with your water maintenance and provide some helpful guidance. It’s great to hear that he also introduced you to the SmarTop cover. We hope it makes things much easier for you and your wife! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Duncan. Thanks again for choosing us!

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!

Sabrina greeted me upon arrival ...did a quick strip test of my water sample...offered wellness solutions. Great service on my first visit....and I liked the wellness options - Thank you again....will definitely be back for all my spa needs

We were having difficulty with our Spa boy readings on our ArticSpa hot tub. Duncan from Aqua Fun came out to service the tub and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He took extra time to diagnose the problem and, once he replaced the probe, waited until everything was working perfectly! Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Clay. We’re glad Duncan was able to get to the bottom of the SpaBoy issue and make sure everything was working properly. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Happy Tubbing!

THANK YOU! Seamless the whole way through! We are grateful to John K. and his team. We've been wanting a spa for a few years, and we made the right decision. Our options we explained to us, we did our research, and John K. gave us all of the right answers, and followed through right until the end. We're enjoying our spa every single day, and could not ask for more from Arctic Spas. Highly recommended! We were so thrilled with the experience, we're now talking to them about getting a sauna....
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that John and the team made your experience so smooth from start to finish. It’s great to know you’re loving your spa every day, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. We’d be happy to help you explore saunas whenever you’re ready. Happy Tubbing!

I stopped in to have the water quality tested for my spa and met Sabrina. She was very friendly and knowledgeable on spa chemicals and takes a holistic approach to managing water quality which I like. I am now considering switching to a salt water system and will be back to see her if I do.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad you stopped in and had a great experience with Sabrina. She’s passionate about helping customers find the right balance for their spa water and taking the time to explain the best options for long-term water quality and enjoyment. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to helping you again if you decide to make the switch to a salt water system. See you next time!

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!

Our salesperson Marc was very helpful and informative, we appreciated his feedback and we bought the perfect tub for our needs.

We would definitely call Matt anytime we need some assistance, he is professional, friendly and explains things well.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, Shirley! We’re so glad Marc, Matthew, and our delivery team helped make your experience smooth and enjoyable. Welcome to the Arctic Spas family. Let us know if you need anything at all. Happy tubbing!

Impressed with our recent spa service from Eric who rearranged his schedule day of service to accommodate us and we are very grateful. We bought our spa in 2019 and were having our annual check up. Eric was thorough, explained everything and asked several times if we had any concerns or questions. Highly recommend arctic spa - great product and service!!
Response from the owner:Thanks for posting your positive comments, Jennifer. We are happy that Eric was able to accommodate your "Check Up" and get everything sorted for another year. Happy Tubbing!

Just wanted to say thanks to Tanya and Matt for great service recently on my Tundra. Love the tub!! Wish the App worked as well as they do!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad Tania and Matt took great care of you and that you’re loving your Tundra. Technology can be a little finicky at times, but it’s still better than running out in the rain to check on your spa! The factory is always improving the app, and often it’s as simple as a software update to get the latest fixes. We are always happy to help in the meantime. Happy Tubbing!
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!
