How to Replace a Spa Boy Probe

Instructions to Replace the Spa Boy Probe
Follow the instructions below if you need to replace the Spa Boy Probe.  The probe is what reads the water and sends the readings to the Arctic Spa App on your phone.  This is different from the salt cell or electrode the produces the sanitizer.
Step 1 – remove the grate on the inside of the spa and replace it with the cap to seal off the probe housing from leaking.
Step 2 – Unplug the probe wires from the generator.
Step 3 – you need to determine if the black connector fitting of the new probe and the old probe are the same or different.  If they are the same, then proceed to the next step.  If they are different, skip to step 6.
Step 4 – with the black connecter being the same with the new versus the old probe, you can keep the male side of the fitting threaded into the white fitting of the probe housing installed in the shell of the spa.  You will need to loosen up the black nut until you can pull the probe out of the housing.
Step 5 – With the black connector in your hand, loosed up the nut and install the probe into the connector.  Once it is installed, remove the male part of the connector (same piece of the connector that you left into the spa) and then install the probe and connector into the black fitting installed into the housing.  Now skip to step 9.
Step 6 – If the black connector is different with the probe and the old probe, then you will want to remove the male fitting from the probe housing.
Step 7 – Pull the black connector apart and install the parts in the same order on the probe by first putting on the nut, then the sleeve, then the two o-rings.
Step 8 – Apply Teflon tape (pipe thread seal tape) on the male threads of the black fitting and thread it into the probe housing.
Step 9 – Remove the plastic container at the end of the probe keeping the end wet.  Insert the probe into the black fitting pushing it in all the way and tighten up the nut.
Step 10 – reconnect the probe wires into the generator making sure you connect the pH wire to the pH receptacle and the ORP wire to the ORP receptacle.  Step 11 – remove the plug on the water side of the spa and reinstall the protective grate.  Make sure there is no water leaking from the probe under the spa.
