Hot Tub Filters

One of the most important components of your Miami Spas hot tub is the filter. These handy gadgets keep the water in your hot tub clean and particle-free and help to minimise dirt and bacteria. Over time contaminants can build up in your hot tub water, even things like natural oils from your skin or residue from sun cream and moisturisers can get into the water. Hot tub filters are usually designed as easily replaceable cartridges that simply pull or twist out of the unit and are then replaced by a new filter. Dirt and particles that are trapped in the filter remain there until they are removed so regular cleaning is important for performance, cleanliness and longevity.

If you haven’t owned a hot tub before then you may need to know how to remove and clean your filter. Thankfully it is a relatively simple task. Drain your hot tub completely, locate the filter and remove it from the hot tub by pulling or twisting it. Usually, your filter can be adequately cleaned by running it under a garden hose. This should be done 1-2 times a month. Before replacing it is recommended that it is soaked in the cleaning fluid recommended for your tub, at least once every few months.

Each time you empty your hot tub your filter should be removed and inspected for damage and signs of use. If you see rips, tears, cracks or any other indication that the filter is harmed then it should be replaced. Most filters can be cleaned by rinsing under a hosepipe but if the build-up of dirt and grime is too much to be removed by rinsing then the filter will need to be replaced with a new one. Filters should be replaced every 1-2 years depending on the frequency of use.

A hot tub is designed to run all the time. The heater keeps the water at optimum temperatures and water is filtered constantly. For energy saving purposes cycles can be set with longer intervals but it is recommended that the hot tub runs for several hours a day. The constant operation means that the water is filtered, cleaned and reduces the build-up of dirt and bacteria.

The life of a hot tub filter can vary. If you are in an area that is susceptible to more dirt or debris, or you use your hot tub very frequently, then the filter may need replacing more often. The type of filter will also affect how long it lasts. Paper filters should last approximately 1 – 2 years depending on usage. Generally speaking, filters should be cleaned with a filter cleaner that will allow you to clean between the pleats and remove any deposits.
