HOT TUB FILTER CLEANING

Grit Gitter

How to Clean Your Hot Tub Filters

  1. Cleaning your hot tub filters improves their efficiency and helps maintain sparkling water.

  2. You should establish a routine filter cartridge cleaning cycle based on the amount of hot tub use and the sanitizer you use. Cleaning hot tub filters every 2 or 3 weeks is the most usual routine.  If you use Aquafinesse you might find it preferable to clean your filters weekly. If you use Eco One and Enzyme Active Filter Boost you will probably find if sufficient to clean them monthly.

  3. Remove the cartridge from the filter housing and use a garden hose with a straight flow nozzle or a tap to wash down the filter element.  Work from the top of the filter, with the water flow at a 45 degree angle, and wash all pleats, ensuring that you remove an debris stuck between the pleats.  Alternatively use our magic Water Wand or Easy Clean Nozzle or, to make life really quick and easy, try the brand new Blaster Filter Cleaner

  4. Rinse the filter until all dirt and debris are gone.

  5. Soak the filter cartridge for at least 1 hour (overnight is preferable) in a clean, suitable size bucket using a proprietary filter cleaner solution.  Our filter soak container will accommodate most filter sizes.  Alternatively spray with Pure 'n Clear and rinse thoroughly after 10 minutes.

  6. If you want to make it really easy, place the filters upright on the bottom shelf of your dishwasher, place Filter Brite or AquaSparkle Immerse in the powder compartment and run the machine on a standard 50 degree wash cycle.   If you use a dishwasher you must make sure that your filters can stand vertically.

  7. Rinse the cartridge again to remove any traces of oil or cleaning solution.

  8. Always dry the filters first before reinserting them into your hot tub.  This ensures that the filters perform optimally and last longer.  It is a good idea to keep a spare set and rotate them at each clean.

  9. Finally, any grit or debris inside your filter compartment can easily be removed with a Grit Gitter.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BAQUASPA USERS

BaquaSpa is a coagulant which combines bacterial cells and other small particles into particles large enough to be trapped by the hot tub filter.  The resulting deposit is a grey sticky film which can only be removed with BaquaSpa Filter Cleaner or an alternative compatible product, such as Leisure Time Filter Cleaner.  If any other cleaner is used prior to stripping the film, the cleaner and the film will combine to form a gum like substance which cannot be removed and your filter will have to be replaced.


Blaster Automatic Filter Cleaner new spa accessories for 2008

Blaster 1000 Automatic Filter CleanerThe Blaster Automatic Filter Cleaner prolongs filter life. the Blaster automatically rotates cartridge filters whilst a series of powerful jets direct water to clean between the filter pleats.

The Blaster cleans the filter horizontally allowing the dirt and debris to easily fall from the filter and avoid the risk of it sticking as with vertical or upright cleaning.

To use, simply connect the Blaster to a hose using the hozelock connector (supplied) and rest the spa filter in the Blaster cradle. It takes just a few minutes to clean most filters.

This is a professional grade, fast action cartridge filter cleaner to remove dirt, oils and scale.  It is produced by Filbur Manufacturing - the supplier of most of our high grade filter cartridges.  Pure 'n Clean  melts away calcium, minerals, dirt and oils and works at least as effectively as our powder filter cleaners.  The deep penetrating action renews cartridge filter efficiency and flow rate.

Just spray, leave for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Recommended for use with a Water Wand or the Blaster Automatic Filter Cleaner.

Also cleans patio furniture, pool equipment, acrylic spas, boats and more!
