How to clean a Hot Tub Filter with convenience?

Cleaning a hot tub filter is included in regular hot tub maintenance.

Ignoring hot tub maintenance may lead to higher than normal

pressure inside the hot tub plumbing which causes pump overload.

Incorrect water chemistry combined with a clogged filter can

deteriorate pump seals and other spa parts and may cause leaks at

the pump or heater. Cleaning the spa filter is generally as convenient

as locating it, taking it out from the spa, cleaning pleats with garden

hose and restoring clean filter into the hot tub.

Hot tub owners should rinse off their filter at least once each week

or more based on its utilization. A normal garden hose is utilized to

rinse it off and includes washing off of debris and other pollutants in

filter paper pleats.

Here are the instructions to perform hot tub filter cleaning:

Find your hot tub filter – Search for a removable lid which

covers the filter housing, with the filter visible in the interior. If

you are not able to view a removable lid, search for a bucket or

canister which houses the filter. In majority of the cases, the

filter is partially visible when you sit inside the hot tub. If you

cannot see the filter, have a look at the owner’s manual.

Switch off the power to the hot tub. Don’t ignore this step

because operating the hot tub sans a filter may expose you to

strong suction and fatal injury.

Take the filter out from its housing. Refer your manual for

instructions if required. Hot tub configurations may differ, so

following filter removal instructions minimizes the probability

of your filter getting damaged.

Spray the filter with a garden hose. Position the spray into the

filter’s pleats to take out any visible debris and dirt.

Now mix the manufacturer-suggested filter cleaning solution in

a tall bucket. Dip the filter entirely for one hour. A complete

soaking takes out the algae film as well as body oils which

gather on the filter pleats and eventually block the filter’s

pores.

Take the filter out from the bucket. Rinse it complete with the

garden hose.

Carefully put the filter again in its place. Ensure that the

reinstated filter fits tightly into its place.

Additional Tips to Keep in Mind:

Stubborn oils and deposits might not rinse off with garden

hose, so it is advisable to purchase a cartridge filter spray or

overnight filter cleaner to soak it in. The cleaning spray simply

sprays onto the paper pleats of cartridge filter and magically

grime and dirt are taken out of pores.

The overnight filter soak is an acidic solution which is made in a

bucket or container and it conveniently rests in the container

overnight while pores are opened. It is rinsed off and restored

into the spa filter canister.

Some filters are placed inside pressure filter canisters while

others are inside a regular pool style filter canister. It may be

used by taking out the lid or twisting another part or

compartment lid off to use the actual cartridge in the interior of

filter canister.

The spa should not be in operation when you endeavor to

change the filter. As it is a crucial spa part used for cleaning and

filtration, it is generally found in pluming line joint with main

spa pump or to a dedicated circulation pump. In both cases, if

the pump is on, the water pressure and suction produced by

the pump via the filter

Compartment makes it hard to take out the cartridge. Thus

always turn off the spa or at least see that the main or

circulation pump is off prior to filter exchanging. This will

prevent any big items from entering into plumbing during

exchange. The spa should not be operated sans the filter.
