Arctic Spas Rescue Bag

The Arctic Spas Rescue Bag is a fine-mesh debris-catching bag that sits inside the Active Skim filter housing of any 2011 or newer Arctic Spa. It captures floating debris — leaves, hair, bugs, lotion residue — before that material reaches your filter cartridge, dramatically extending filter life and keeping your spa surface noticeably cleaner.

Why this is the cheapest filter upgrade you can make: Your main spa filter is designed to trap fine particles in the water. When it's also catching every leaf and hair that falls onto the spa surface, it loads up much faster, water flow drops, and you're swapping the filter or scrubbing pleats more often than you should. The Rescue Bag intercepts that surface debris so the filter only has to do its actual job. Most owners report doubling their filter life and dropping their cleaning frequency in half after starting to use one.

Will this fit my spa? Yes, if your Arctic Spa is a 2011 or newer model with the Active Skim filtration system (the filter intake at the top of the spa with the threaded ArcticSpas-logo cap). It's standard fitment on every Arctic Spa from 2011 onward.

How to use it: Drop the Rescue Bag into the Active Skim filter housing before re-installing your filter. Empty the bag every 1-2 weeks during heavy-use seasons (autumn leaf drop especially), or whenever you notice the bag visibly full. The bag itself is washable and reusable for many seasons.

Quick tips:

• If your spa is under or near deciduous trees, a Rescue Bag pays back its cost on the first autumn alone
• Pair with a regular schedule of Aqua Finesse Filter Cleaner on your filter cartridge for a complete filtration routine
• Keep a spare on hand — they eventually wear through and tear at the seam after a few years of heavy use
