The Orion is the high-capacity option in the Core Series — eight seats and 40 jets in a large format that serves as an accessible entry into the largest Arctic Spas hot tub footprints.
TL;DR
- Large eight-person Core Series spa with 40 jets
- Highest seating capacity in the Core Series lineup
- Full foam insulation and freeze protection standard
- Salt water system available as an upgrade
- Best for large households who want maximum capacity without Classic Series pricing
Who the Orion Is Designed For
The Orion serves buyers for whom capacity is the deciding factor. Eight seats at the Core Series price makes it the most seats-per-dollar in the Arctic Spas lineup. For large households, families who entertain frequently, or buyers who want to be certain the spa never feels too small, the Orion addresses that concern directly.
It is an honest spa for that use case — the Core Series does not pretend to be the Custom Series, but for buyers who need capacity more than they need features, the Orion is a clear choice.
Eight-Seat Capacity
Eight seats in a large format means the Orion’s interior is genuinely spacious. Each bather has room without a crowded feel. The layout accommodates a mix of active soakers and those who prefer to sit quietly and soak.
For households with children and teenagers who use the spa, the eight-seat capacity means everyone can be in at once without anyone waiting.
Jets and Performance
40 jets across an eight-person interior means the per-seat jet coverage is lower than a six-person spa with the same count. The Orion is designed for broad, comfortable coverage rather than concentrated therapeutic use. Buyers who primarily want to relax and soak rather than target specific muscle groups will find the coverage adequate.
For buyers who want intensive therapeutic use in addition to social soaking, a Classic Series model with the same capacity and better jet placement is worth the additional cost.
Orion vs. Classic Series Large Models
The Classic Series large models — the McKinley and Totem — offer better jet placement, a higher overall feature level, and the option for the integrated salt water system. What they share with the Orion is the Arctic Spas insulation architecture and Canadian manufacturing.
For buyers who have compared the Orion to non-Arctic Spas eight-person options, the insulation performance and build quality are usually the deciding factors in favour of the Orion.
New Brunswick Perspective
The Orion is chosen by New Brunswick families who have had the experience of owning a smaller spa and spending the whole winter managing who gets to use it when. Eight seats solves that problem. At the Core Series price, it is the most accessible large-format Arctic Spas option available through Poolboy.
