Have You Checked Your Hot Tub Filter Yet This Spring?

What is one of the most important and necessary checkpoints to maintaining clean, clear and sparkling healthy water in your Spa or Hot Tub?  Yes, you guessed it, your filtering system - and the key factor to the quality of the water in your spa or hot tub, is regular maintenance that you provide to your spa filter cartridges.

One of the key components to water flow and heater issues can be contributed to the need for maintenance to your filter.  Thoroughly clean filters every 4-6 weeks for best water quality and less issues with your water flow and spa heating components.  A dirty filter can be get clogged while it is doing its job, and eventually become full of debris; thus causing heating issues to arise. Some filters need to be thoroughly rinsed and cleaned every two weeks, if the spa is used heavily, or more than normal. 

Using a garden hose and sprayer, begin spraying a steady stream being certain to thoroughly spray  between each pleat of the filter, while spraying at a downward angle to remove all he dirt, debris and foreign matter from the filter.  Keep a log of when you have replaced a new filter as you will want to replace your filter with a new one at least once a year, and anytime you are changing the water to your spa for maintenance cleaning, make certain to also rinse and thoroughly clean your spa filter as the same time as well.

It is very important to keep your spas water chemistry in good order while scheduling regular maintenance and care to your spa and filter system, as this is key to preventing debris and matter to pass through a damaged filter and make its way to your pump system, causing damage to the pump and creating expensive repairs to your spa.
