I scheduled a visit to troubleshoot some issues with our 7 year old hot tub. Eric reached out an hour before getting here, which I requested and needed to be able to get here from work. Very, and I mean very promptly had his tools down to the back yard, tub panels open and... comically confirmed the issue he had said it likely was as he was unloading and getting ready. Eric was great. I had to be there because we needed to test some connectivity issues with my phone and the spa boy. I was trying so hard not to be the "staring over his shoulder guy" but he is so inviting and knowledgeable. He showed me and talked me through operations of different things in our spa including the issues we were having and other neat tidbits that help to provide all our enjoyment with the hot tub! We have another simple issue with one of the fountains but it will nee to be done when we empty and change the water. Its simple but i can tell from whatvhe showed me, will be a bit cumbersome and annoying working in a tight spot to replace and replumb piping in some tight quarters. All I sensed from Eric though, was a positive explanation on how he will do it and the only thing standing in his way, is we will need the tub emptied so pipes are free of water (ps... VERY simple issue with one of the 4 fountains havig developed a clog!). Monica and Tania were easy to deal with at the schediling end of things. Marc is always there in the Duncan Store front and helped me with some earlier info before i had things fully scheduled. Sorry, had to say a lot above here because I got a lot! We know with absolute, 100% certainty, we use our spa way, and I mean WAY more than average folks. Arctic Spas has designed and produced an absolute industry leading spa and tremedously easy to service. They surround it with excellent salespeople, efficient admin for service and most inportantly, very personable, knowledeable technicians tweaking little issues and setting them right! And let me give John a little thumbs up too! The little videos online are great. Giving info on things that might stretch out 2-6 months more use on an salt cell and just nice stuff for some of the DIY people out there, saving them a buck instead of only relying on service calls... fantastic. Thanks. Brad Beals
Response from the owner:Hi Brad, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review. This absolutely made our day to read! We’re thrilled to hear that Eric was able to confirm the issue so quickly and walk you through everything. He really is fantastic at not only diagnosing, but helping customers understand their spa and feel confident in it, so it’s wonderful to hear you felt that. We’ll make sure Monica, Tania, Marc and John all see your kind words as well. The whole team works hard to make owning an Arctic Spa as easy and enjoyable as possible, and feedback like this means everything. Whenever you're ready to drain for that small fountain repair, just reach out and we’ll get it taken care of for you. Thank you again for choosing Arctic Spas, and we love hearing that you’re getting so much use and enjoyment out of your spa! Warm regards, The Arctic Spas Team

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!

I needed to replace the 14 year old jets in my Arctic Fox Spa. Jenny Seredocka at the Victoria store did a great job to help me. I was unsure which jets I needed, as the jets have changed slightly over the years. She loaned me some jets, so that I could test fit them and ensure that I received the correct ones. She managed to put together all of the jets I needed from in store inventory. She was very pleasant and helpful.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Gord. It really makes our day to hear that be of our team was able to help you out with some good service and advice! We agree with you: Ryan is a champ! Happy Tubbing!

I have been absolutely blown away from the service that Eric gave me regarding an issue I was having with my spa. He not only returned my email after hours with a phone call he stuck with me untill he got through my issue without even having to come out. Eric was extremely polite and helpful and definitely set the bar with his knowledge and professionalism. Again the service from Arctic Spa Duncan was top notch.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that Eric provided such exceptional support. Taking the time to follow up after hours and staying committed to resolving your issue remotely really speaks to his dedication, and we’re glad his knowledge and professionalism made such a strong impression. Your kind words mean a lot to our team at Arctic Spas Duncan. We truly appreciate your support and are always here if you need anything in the future!

I have been very happy with my Artic Fox. Just right for our family and runs perfectly. Always able to get any (and there hasn’t been much) products I need from the Parksville store. Highly recommend going with a salt water spa.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Earl! So glad you are enjoying your Arctic Fox and that your local Parksville Store has been able to help you out. Happy Tubbing!

I recently purchased an Arctic Spa tub, installed on Nov. 12. While the sales experience was average, the exceptional follow-up service far exceeded my expectations. Tania and Goran provided outstanding support, with Goran demonstrating remarkable expertise and dedication. He quickly identified and resolved a manufacturing defect in the waterline. His ability to break down complex problems and communicate effectively made me feel valued and confident as a customer. Another issue involved unreliable internet connectivity for the SpaBoy App. Once again, Tania and Goran went above and beyond, recommending and installing the Ethernet over Power solution, which has worked flawlessly since installation. Tania’s support throughout the process was equally exceptional, ensuring all my concerns were addressed. I highly recommend their service—thank you, Tania and Goran, for making this a seamless and stress-free experience!
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to leave a positive review Ben. We always strive to be your Smartfriend whether in a sales or service capacity, so super happy that Goran and Tania were able to get your tub running and communicating properly. As you have experienced, this is not always straightforward, so very happy to have these experts on our team to sort things out when things don't quite function as they ought to out of the box. Happy Tubbing!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eric from Arctic Spa came to put a new side panel on my hot tub and did an excellent job. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough, clearly an expert at what he does. His friendly and professional attitude made the entire experience a pleasure. All round, he’s a top lad! Highly recommend Eric Aasen for any hot tub needs.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the post Damian and for recognizing and recommending Eric. We agree with you, “He’s a top lad!” 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!

We are in the deciding stage of buying a hot tub or spa and we are pretty keen on salt water so we have been dealing with Arctic Spa. We drove to Parksville to wet test a tub and Sabrina helped us so much. Her knowledge and care was outstanding even though we will be dealing locally. She answered all of our questions and encouraged us to try multiple options. She explained the full line up of tubs and clarified the information on salt water upkeep. Her representation of the company and its products was outstanding. Thank you so much!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the positive feedback on your experience at our Parksville location and in particular, Sabrina. We are happy that see was able to help you navigate your choices, answer your questions and help you with your decision. We are proud that our team works so well with one another regardless of which location is your “local” store. 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!

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!

Absolutely fabulous! I was “kicking tires” and called Sabrina at the Parksville location just to get some early quotes. She sent me options and information right away and followed up with a call. And while we hadn’t decided if we were even getting a swim spa at that time, she sent more options when promos changed and invited us to test out the Fisher swim spa on site. I was interested but my husband wasn’t convinced. I did a swim test at a competitor on a Friday, and we tested the Fisher swim spa the next day. My husband decided that day that we had to get one. With the jets and the swim jets tested out, we couldn’t believe how strong the swim current jets are. Far stronger than a far more expensive spa that i tested; and with variable speed and the ability to adjust the flow up or down at angles, it gave us more than we expected- if you turn them on high, they will push you across the pool so definitely good for working out swimming or walking or water running. The next decision was size- we went with the 15’ size with the lounger and we couldn’t be happier. Delivery was suddenly available due to a cancellations so We scrambled to get the electrical ready and a cement pad poured- I recommend going bigger than you think to ensure you have a comfortable amount of space around the spa. Sabrina answered my questions every step of the way while we weighed our cover options and salt water or regular chemical options; and she was patient with all of the questions we had and always had the information we needed to help on our decision. And the delivery team was amazing. Paul backed in and swung it into place with Eric hooking it up and making sure it was squared up within a millimeter then got everything running- Very conscientious about getting everything right. We love the spa and got the salt water system because it is far less maintenance and makes your skin feel great without any harsh chemicals- and less often water replacement - this was important to us being on a smaller island where water is at a premium. I just picked up our roll cover today and can’t wait to get it in place. I can’t say enough about the service from Sabrina and the team at Arctic Spa on Parksville. We are pleased with every aspect of our purchase and look forward to enjoying our swim spa year round. Thanks Sabrina and everyone at Arctic Spa Parksville!!!! Michele and Dan Scott
Response from the owner:Well Michele, that has got to be about the most thorough review we have received. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and particularly for the praise you gave our team. So happy that you were able to find the right product for you and your family. This is always our goal. 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!
