Unless the code has recently changed arc faults are only for bedrooms and living spaces. Are you sure it's not a GFCI and a faulty one at that? If it's ARC then it's tripping due to the inrush current of the motors/heater. Those ARC fault breakers a tricky sensitive little bugers
In the last code update, they did extend arc protection to include broader protection but certainly not hot tubs.
Arc fault breakers to the electricians is what the HDMI connection is to the AV guy....The breakers actually have circuitry built in that monitors the signature of the arc. As more "things" require arc protection, the more signatures they have to store in the breaker. It won't be long before there is an ethernet connection in electrical panels....
