Just like other home decor or features, a hot tub is one of the water features that you have to maintain for its longevity and to keep it safe. Maintaining the exterior of the hot tub is important but filters are the core parts that you have to take care of even more. It’s because a hot tub filter is where the water flows so it determines the quality of the water you’ll be using. Of course, none wants to be in dirty and cloudy water to relax.
We have a quick tutorial on how to clean a hot tub filter for your reference!
Here are the tools and supplies that you have to prepare:
First thing first, prepare the hot tub filter cleaning solution so you can quickly put the filter in after removing it from your spa. You can find various kinds of products from the nearest hot tub or pool care store.
Turn off the power because running a hot tub without filters may clog the pump impellers and cause water quality.
If this is your first time cleaning your spa’s filter, refer to your hot tub’s manual to locate the filter’s location along with directions for safe removal.
Depending on the filter’s condition, there are three ways to clean it:
– Quick Rinse (Weekly)
This is the quickest way to clean your filter as a weekly process to keep away debris and chemical contaminants.
– Chemical Rinse/Spray (Monthly)
A quick rinse can be done monthly or fortnightly depending on hot tub usage.
– Deep Clean (every 3-4 months)
Deep cleaning is the slowest but the most thorough step as it allows the solution to soak into the filter’s pleats. You can do this step when you’re draining and refilling the water which also ideally happens for 3 – 4 months.
Now, you’re ready to clean your hot tub filter and make your hot tub water stays clean and safe to use. Grab your tools and start inspecting your hot tub filter now!
