Cleaning your hot tub filter is a vital part of hot tub maintenance and plays a key role in keeping your tub\u2019s water safe and clean. While cleaning your hot tub filter may seem complex and cumbersome, it can actually be quite simple\u2014particularly if you have a good set of instructions at your disposal. This article will walk you through the most common ways to keep your tub\u2019s filter spotless.<\/p>\n
Tip 1: Annual Replacement<\/strong><\/p>\n Regardless of how clean you keep your tub\u2019s filter, it is imperative that you replace it at least once a year. In addition to putting a severe strain on your tub\u2019s pump, worn-out tub filters are unable to properly trap contaminants. Nothing lasts forever\u2014especially tub filters.<\/p>\n Tip 2: Basic Rinsing<\/strong><\/p>\n Your tub\u2019s filter should be given a thorough rinsing once every 2 weeks. If you make frequent use of your tub, however, you may want to utilize this method of filter-cleaning on a somewhat more frequent basis. This method is very simple and can often be accomplished with nothing more than a garden hose. Taking care to remove every speck of dirt, use the hose to give your filter a vigorous soaking. If the filter is particularly dirty, all-natural cleaning products can be used in conjunction with this method. It is also important to rinse your filter off in this fashion whenever you change the water in your tub, regardless of how recently its last cleaning took place<\/p>\n Tip 3: Filter-Cleaning Cartridges<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want to keep your tub\u2019s filter clean but aren\u2019t a big fan of elbow grease, filter-cleaning cartridges may be right up your alley. Simply attach these cartridges to your garden hose, then attach your filter to the cartridge and spray. As you spray the hose, the cartridge will gently rotate, meticulously cleaning every inch of the filter. Within minutes, your filter should be as good as new.<\/p>\n Tip 4: Cleaning Products<\/strong><\/p>\n If your tub\u2019s filter is exceptionally dirty\u2014or plagued with an all-too-common buildup of calcium scales\u2014you may want to consider incorporating the aid of cleaning products. Acid Magic is particularly well-respected among filter cleaners, as it has proven extremely effective in laying waste to caked-on dirt and calcium. Should you decide to use cleaning products for filter-cleaning, it is strongly advised that you chose something all-natural and make sure that the product is intended for cleaning filters. Chemicals and detergents found in many household products can cause foaming problems with the water in your hot tub, so when scrubbing that filter, Mother Nature is a responsible hot tub owner\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n Tip 5: Mistakes to Avoid<\/strong><\/p>\n When cleaning your hot tub filter, there are several things you should avoid. First off, do not attempt to clean your hot tub filter in a washing machine or dish washer, as the immense water pressure can damage the filter irreparably. Secondly, do not try to clean your filter with bleach or laundry detergents, as they will cause severe foaming problems with your hot tub\u2019s water, much like other commercial cleaning products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" High quality replacement filter for the following hot tubs;<\/p>\n Please note this price is for individual filters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13941,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[228,26],"product_tag":[535,215],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
