How To Take Care Of Your Hot Tub, Spa & Swim-Spa Filters
Nothing is as important for hot tub water quality as your filtering system. A soiled and clogged or simply worn-out filter will fail in its task of trapping contaminants. This results in cloudy water, higher chemical usage and can even put a strain on your spa's pump/s. You should clean your filters every couple of weeks and soak clean them in Filter Cartridge Cleaner every 8 weeks. DON'T assume that your filters will last 12 months - read our article The truth about spa filters and try our estimated filter life test.
Rotate Your Spa Filters.
Use this filter rotation method: while cleaning your dirty filter, swap it with a previously cleaned and dried spare. This system will ensure that you will never have to wait to use your spa, and if your spa turns cloudy you can rectify the problem straightaway. Allowing filters to dry completely after soak-cleaning will increase filter effectiveness and extend the life of the filter.
Pleated filter cartridges should be thoroughly rinsed every two weeks (sooner when the spa use is heavy). Use a garden hose (not a pressure washer), and apply the water stream at an angle of about 45-degree, making sure to dislodge all foreign matter by spraying between each pleat. Or try our new Filter Cleaning Wand.
At least every 8 weeks, and ALWAYS with a water change, your cartridge should first be pre-rinsed, then soaked overnight (or in accordance with package directions) in Filter Cartridge Cleaner. Rinse again and allow to air-dry.
Hot Tips and Advice
• Never assume that your filters will last 12 months (they may do, but only under perfect circumstances). Be sure, take our Estimated filter life test so you can be accurate.
• If you are in a hard water area it is essential to use NO SCALE solution in your tub.
• Invest in a Pre Filter for your hose pipe. This removes many harmful elements before they ever get in to your tub.
• Only use a product like our Filter Cartridge Cleaner which is designed for cleaning pleated filter cartridges.
• When cleaning, always rotate out your filters with a clean, dry spare.
• Never use a pressure-washer or put filters through the dishwasher to clean them. The high water pressure will damage the REEMAY filter media.
