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.
