Ahhh yeh...forgot that part Stuart...thanks.

gwhite says "bring it on"? ??? I thought that's exactly what we've been doing?

Once again G, we aren't knocking the spa itself. They're OK. It's all the BS marketing that goes along with it.

Enjoy the Christmas party on your cover! ;)

OOO Hell YEA


Well....I guess that answers all of those unanswered questions.....

heres another...that your one filter somehow equals 900 sq ft...an 8 by 8 spa is 64 sq foot.....that means the filter you use would be the equivalent of more than 13 spas....this is just really really hard to believe....

Thanks. I was beginning to wonder if you would ever post a civil word.

Well, if you are talking about a pleated cartridge type of filter, it means that if it's a foot tall, you could stretch it out and it would be 50 feet long. That's the 'surface area' we are talking about.

the pleats in the filters if layed out would be 50 sq foot....to be 900 hundred sq ft you would need a 4 garage and it would still not have enough room....or as chas mentioned you would if it were one foot you would need 3 American football fields to lay out the filter you claim to use....it just seems to be not very credtiable.....but again you simply make statments and provide no answers....

I know, I know...

Let's see; 50 sq ft. Applying the Arctic math...
multiply by 7, add 50 and subtract 3.
50X7= 350
plus 50 = 400
minus 3 = 397

That would mean a 50 sq ft Arctic filter is actually 397 sq ft. Wada I win? ???  ;D

What the hell does it matter what I think a tubs operating costs are, Steve  I think you are so full of shit and I haven't heard anyone say anything about us pushing for our manufactures to get a test together that we can all agree on, you guys would rather sit here and keep believing that nothing can be improved and all your arguements revolve around the way things have always been done and if the big guys haven't done it well it's no good, well thinking like that gets you left behind,

Actually if you did some researching of old threads here that has been brought up several times...not about Steve...but about the tests....as it stands most agree that all of the better made spas will be close in energy use....

OK, make us smart like you then.

How do you support the claim - on the Arctic website - that your $40 single-use filter can filter down to one micron and yet be the equivelant of a 900 square foot filter?

Saying it's so doesn't quite cut it - can you please add some info here? Tell us how this can be equal to three sets of filters in a HotSpring Vista (total is 300 feet per Vista) ??

And what's the track record for this filter?

I am one the the proud members of the arctic family

so i don't know how you all got led down the wrong

path but bring it on.

G - I put you on my "ignore" list, so if you are waiting for a response from the PMs you have sent me, or if you are sending more, they're not gettin' through.

Why not tell us about your spa - right here on the board?

Please?   8)

The first part of the question on our filter, no I haven't unroled the whole thing, and measured, however the filtering quality is unbelievable, and our customers that have gone from paper to the disposable have noticed a difference. A draw back is that with well water they tend to not last as long off the first filling

That is nice to compliment Chas "the most humble poster here"....but you still have not answered any questions and it appears that your buddy can not answer any as well...no shame in that but don't you think that now before you go off and make such statements that you need to have a better understanding how and why the things you say work....as it stands you come across as someone who is just reading from a training manual that teaches you to make statements but does not give you an understanding of how and why it works.....
